Check out the Soundcraft Digital 328. Very versatile great sounding mixer for around $3500. Lots of ins & outs and routing capabilities.

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
The Spirit blows. While it's features are all right, when put into practice it is a very cumbersome mixer. And the Lexicon reverb is BS. It doesn't sound good at all.
They're blowing them out at $2999 at GC if you're interested. |

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
I'm using a Yamaha O2R fitted with 2 AES/EBU
cards to interface a PT24 mix plus set-up with 2 888's. Gives me I/O's lets me do all the bits and pieces that I don't need PT for and sounds great + there are lots of options out there for it. joesgarage

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
We have DA7s in two rooms, hooked up aes to PTs. We use them for front end only, not for mixing, but we like them a lot, I think the mic pres are actuallt pretty nice sounding. Too bad the faders don't seem to be able to be made to control ProTools screen faders.

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
Just like you John A, I will probably use it mostly for front end. I guess the opitional meter bridge, one ad/da card and one AES/EBU card will be necessary. Yes that's too bad that you can't control PT with the faders, I was actually expecting that.

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
I too have a DA7 and it sounds great! Not only does the front end sound very sweet, but transferring in and out of other digital media is now a breeze. For the money, I don't think there are any contenders. And money aside, sonically it stacks up very favourably with much more expensive consoles.

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
Just saw a demo of PT5, and now I have begun thinking of adding 2 1622 interfaces instead. I already have 8 mic preamps, one focusrite green rance, one 4 channel TLA and one 2 track TLA Tube Mic pre/Compressor. then I'll only need a master fader between PT and my powered Genelecs. what's wrong with this setup?

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
I have a $50,000 Soundtracs "Virtua" and I used to have an O2R. The day I heard the DA7 I sold my O2R and never looked back. The O2R has a few more options but can't compare acoustically. The DA7 even sounds better than my "Virtua". Also, with the newest software version it becomes a very good control surface for Pro Tools.
The DA7 has a very British sounding EQ. I haven't heard anything under $80,000 that sounds better. |

Re: Ramsa DA7 any good?
How much of PT does the new DA7 software control? Are we talking about a possible replacement for a HUI?
