I disagree with Nicolas about external clocking. It's been well documented, technically, why external clocks can't improve on internal clocking. All the subjective data has never been proved in a controlled "double blind" test and falls under the case of "expectation bias".

Being that you would likely stay digital all the way through the process, even if he were right, it wouldn't effect your mix quality anyway.

As mentioned above, the Avid Venue system only clocks at 48khz. I've done many recordings with the Venue and sound quality isn't an issue.
