Keep the 500 pres, ditch the two existing Rednet units and the PCIe card and also the mixer. Just an opinion, of course.  |
Thanks again for helping me think it through. I hadn't really thought about the redundancy bit. You are right, of course about the physicality of the gain knobs, etc. I had mostly just rationalized it as something that is done at the front of a session and not so much afterwards, but it I do have 1:1 knobs already.
I'll do some latency testing with native and see what that is like and make the decision.
I agree on the S1/Dock portion and that is what I was planning to do. The easiest way for me to dip into it is with an HDX card and a Red 16 line box. That gives me HDX and the Red 16 bridges onto Dante up to 32ch, plus the 16 I/O which is fine. The MTRX really is a different decision than the native/HDX and and I can consider it in that light. I have not had any complaints about the conversion quality of the Focusrite system or my Rupert Neve preamps. It's all very high quality gear.
