I think that for me, it won't matter that much, as MOST of my work I can use an external monitor mixer if I really have to, and since I will mostly be behind the desk, it will be up to the band to adapt.. he..he..he....
My local Digi rep, sais he has never had any problems with the 002(R) doing this. I admit my comments are somewhat "sky is faling" in nature..
I however now really like the fact at Behringer will soon have an 8 channel preamp input/output system that will connect to the Digi through SPDIF/ADAT... very nice..so for under $3000 AUD I could get a Digi002R AND one of these boxes, and get 16 channels in and out (even if the 8 offboard channels can only go up to 48KHz)....sweet...
For me, it's now the decision. Mbox to work with my iBook, or get a 002Rack for my PC (or both
... no.. my credit card will melt).. oh and I need some tallent.. anyone got any for sale??? some personality might come in handy too....
