Yep I have a bunch of pre amps (Focusrite Platinum Voice master Pro, Bass Pod Pro, Pod pro, GNX2) all going into a 75 ohm s-video switching box (via S/P DIF out) and then into the D1200 via an M-Audio CO2 co-axial to optical converter so I’m bypassing the pres on the D1200. For Midi I’m SONAR all the way using the D-sub midi socket on a Creative Labs SoundBlaster Pro (2nd sound card for MP3s and system sounds). This is then off to a EP97, a JV1010 or a Dr-770 (can't use DTEXPRESS II at the moment ‘cos of the neighbors.....damn them and cruse, boil them and rip them to bits !!!).



From their its USB (.WAV) exports from the D1200 to Mr. PC and Sonar for a little tidy up (and Autotune 3…what a horrible dirty cheat I am…but I don’t care !) and then Wave lab for mastering and Pyro for burning.....Hoorah ! All I need now is some time off work to enjoy all this kit and record some of the songs I have in my head!!!

I was using a D1600, it was a nice bit of kit however as I do most of my mixing in SONAR I figures I really didn’t want all the whistles and bells (and the occasional glitch). How does the D8 perform? The sound card I have is really hot (RME Audio Digi96/9 PAD) and after spending a weekend sorting out the latency issues it is working really well... however I just prefer the Korg interface.

I still think my favorite bit of studio kit is a drinks holder that attaches to a microphone stand, will fit cand of beer, bottles of wine, plastic liter cups of G&T, bottles of Vodka / Glenfidich and even small cups of coffee / red bull !
Awesome (Burp !)!
