They’re ok, but you might want to use the adat connector for input and a standalone a/d box. I have a presonus that is good. The good thing about the alesis is that the menus don’t rap, and there is a dedicated button called home/preset where you can use the value dial to step through something like 10 setups for different daws. Once you select pro tools and push the dial down which acts like enter you’re ready to go. Of course you have to tell pro tools what ports to use in the hui setup. The m-audio project mix is another alternative, and it has two adat connectors and eight mic pres. The mic pres suck in my oppinion, and I don’t think it is quite as stable, it was made a long time ago. But it does have more dedicated buttons on it for aux sends and the like. THe jog dial is detented though, not as good for scrubbing. GordOn Jan 5, 2014, at 9:05 PM, Poppa Bear <heavens4r...@gmail.com> wrote:
