i need a step up from my fast track pro....M-audio NRV10 ??

[Silas]

i have had my fast track pro for a while.l.. no complaints, but im feeling like i need to step up to something larger with more channels.

the M-audio NRV10 looked like what i need... pretty pricey at $700, is it a good buy??

for $500 you can get the Fast Track Ultra 8R.. it has 8 channels but is only an interface, no mixer

is that mixer and other features worth the extra $200??

what other options are available out there??

check out the tascam fw 1082.... its a interface/ daw controller/mixer...... i fell in love with it once i tried it for the 1st couple times....... check it out its not a bad price for 599.99$ neither

if you have no intention on using protools I'd fuck with that tascam, i heard that board is great with sonar

otherwise I'd mess with M-audio shit because you can use it with every program I've been eyeballing the new 26/26 for like 700$ and been thinking of going all out and getting the project mix 1250$ so i have all the I/O and a mixing surface all in one probably the best deal out there and its a quality board. I know folks who have them running protools and cubase and they all love em. the master fader dont do anything in protools though probably one of the few drawbacks..

Its decent.... I cant compare em but its decent. I use the tascam with cubase it works seemlessly. But as far as pro tools goes I think it really dont work to well................... read up on it maybe its for you maybe not....
