I found the Fasttrack Ultra interface very susceptible to USB bus noise. That maybe just my experience; I was running it on a laptop not really designed with audio gear in mind, and I do use an M-Audio PCI card in my desktop machine and it works brilliently, so there's no doubt that M-Audio make good gear. If you're working on a desktop, I'd recommend PCI every time.

Behringer makes some very nice hq but reasonably priced mixers with lo
noise floors and clean audio from front end to back.  Of course, if
you want something heavy-duty that'll last you well into the next
century, unless they change the electrical specs or something, then go
for a Mackie.  The Onyx series are very nice and sturdy--the only
non-metal parts on 'em are the knob caps and the rubber-clad side
rails.  But be prepared to pay double what you'll pay for a Behringer.

Regarding the interface, spending a hundred, hundred-and-fifty,
dollars for a Fast Track Pro or anything similar is not such a bad
thing.  It doesn't have a lot of I/O, but if you'll be using a mixer
on the front end and a direct audio feed to your PC or an analog feed
to some theater gear on the back end, you could do lots worse.

Hi all,



What are some  Good accessible mixers?  And if I have a really good mixer,
I need a 16 plus channel mixer, so if I were to get such a mixer do I need
to purchase such a high-end audio interface like the Audio fast track ultra
or like audio interfaces?  Or if not, what would be good for me to get?  I
do sound design for theatre and film, and also compose music for both. So I
also need to be able to plug in my motif so I can work in sonar, and also, I
installed a midi pick-up on my  composition electric guitar, so I can also
use my electric guitar in sonar as well..

Thank you all for any help, I greatly appreciate any help you can send on
over my way.



Cheers.
