the more i read about it, the more i want one, i really can hear a difference when i sum to mono in sonar compaired to my outboard mixers 'mono' button, so i can understand grouping say all the drums to a dedicated output on my soundcard, then all the guitars to another ect. ect. heck, i've got eight outputs! havin' a good quality dedicated stereo summer sounds like a good bet....thing is, these puppies are expensive!! i can think of a thousand things to buy before droppin' a grand or more on something that for the most part, dosn't do a whole heck of alot (feature wise)...but what i'm wonderin' is

1. when would be a good time to get one? like right now, i need a pre before anything else (pun intended) and i'm gonna get HarBal monday hopefully....so say you've got good mics runnin' into good pre's gettin' converted by good converters.....the next logical step in "my sound" would seem gettin' something on the way out which means i'd hafta mix to some sorta two track recorder (crap i just realized that!)

2. do any of you have any experiance with these things?

peace
