Help me decide what to upgrade (first)...
help me decide what to upgrade (first)..lots of pro guys opinions here...
Hi folks!
This shall sound dumb but as I have been thinking of making an upgrade and budget is limited, here are the options:
Go from current rig: 02R V2 44k/48k with 3 CD8At slots + PT 5.1.1 Mix Plus TDM /OS 9.2/MAC G4 800 + 2 Adat bridges + Sebatron VM2000pVU + lots of nice authorized plugs to:
a) PT HD1 + 96 I/o, keeping one Adat Bridge 24 bits of my rig and Sebatron ;
or
b) Yamaha 02R 96k + 2 16MY cards so as to have 32in/outs for in line PT Mix 5.1.1 TDM session mixes with the board.(also keeping the Sebatron)
Below, a collection of lots of pro guys advices..
> going with a digital board again is dumb, since it will be obsolete sooner than you can imagine; so, you should invest in front end like the Sebatron 200VU, Focusrite pre, etc;
> the new 02r has really nice pres and compressors so why spend in outboard;
> 02R automation sucks, PT automation is faster and stays within the session backups data;
> Pt HD is far superior than 02R 96k;
> 02R 96k is a nice controller for PT with plenty bonuses like 4 reverbs, channels, etc;
> Nobody cares about o2R´s nowadays, PT HD is the word;
> PT HD will be obsoleted next year. New, more powerful cards are coming. Save money and go outboard analog;
> Go with the board, your sound will improve, bull to 96k, expensive bak;
> Hey, why go PT hd, pay for all the upgrades again, lose nice plugs like Lexicon, Master X 5;
so... please, gimme your opinions about it!LOL
Thanks for the attention!
