I may still end up with the DM24 if the Firewire card becomes real. The fastest would be a dedicated hard disk recorder system but there would be no editing.
SOUNDCRAFT GHOST 32 SIZE PRO
I have all the top Pro plugins.Īn analog console gives me the immediacy I need. What i sthe advantage to me? I am recording to a DAW so I have all and more automation then the DM24. Right now I am not convinced I need a digital board. The DM24 is a budget digital board and as such one must manipulate tons of parrameters before arriving at a final function (read, many steps for one result). On the contrary you are the first person that has a negative opinion of the Ghost pres. If you think the preamps in the Ghost are bad then you would hate the DM24's. I think you are being a tad harsh on the Ghost. I will be trying it out soon when the Firewire card is delivered. I am looking forward to reading advice and comments from you all.
Thanks to all for even reading until here! (hey my budget was $1,500.00 originally!)Ĭons for Magnum: Older and in need of some maintenance. Original price was much higher so it may beĬash. Pres supposedly better than Ghost? (to be confirmed) Pros for Magnum: Comes with console and meter bridge. Pros for Soundcraft: Almost new condition so its ready to go.Ĭons for Ghost: Price is pretty well what Ghost LE goes for I think the Magnum strips would sell for much more than the soundcraft. So is the Magnum in a higher league than the Ghost?Īt this point I am leaning with th Magnum as it has the console and the patchbay (I need a patchbay) as well as a meter bridge which although not necessary is sure handy.Īlso at 32 channels I am hoping that I will be able to sell off some strips. Mind you the Magnum is over 10 years old and the Ghost is almost new. But the board does look like a more "professional" board whatever that may mean.Īlso if you factor in the price of a console stand and a 96 point patchbay the Magnum becomes cheaper at that point. Price doesn't always mean better sometimes its just better features or construction etc. My friend says the preamps in the Magnum are much better than teh Ghost's but I have no idea about that. Sold for 3 or more times the price of the Ghost. Its much bigger heavier than Soundcraft and fom what I am told The Magnum console was used in a friend's studio and so I can trust the condition before seeing it. If I manage to get ot for the same price as Ghost than its going to be the sound that will be the deciding factor. So the gap between both is $750.00 maximum, not enough to use price as the deciding factor here. (I am negotiating for $3,750.00 and it looks like it may happen) It comes in a console stand and Power Supply as well. TAC Magnum 32 inputs with meter bridge and patchbay. You know how it is, if you don't grab them now its gone and you regret later (sometimes).Ģ Power supplies (don't know why it has 2)
I have another thread going about the Ghost but now another deal comes across my life. If any of you have any of these 2 mixers please let me know any comments you may have however trivial you may think it is. OK, now its down to 2 consoles as I decided against getting a digital board.
