Mudbean,

Let us know what you think about it. I finally moved to Logic from tape-based systems (ok, there was a decade there where I wasn't really recording at all) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to ease back into this on the AD/DA end of things.

The Duet is on my shortlist (I'd buy it if it had an ADAT in to feed digital signals into Logic) but the Ensemble is outta my budget right now and is still a bit short on analog ins/ AD converters for the kinda stuff I used to do. But, I doubt I'll be tracking bands anytime soon. I was thinking buy the Duet for my home doodling needs and buy or rent a more prosumer unit with a dozen or so analog ins and AD/DA for the rare occasions I might want to track a band and/or when I have enough stuff recorded that I can get serious about mixing it.

Does that sound sensible? I don't love the idea of mixing brands for this application, but I understand it can (sometimes) work.

Cheers,
Geoff
