    We need a new mixer/recorder for our company. We’re looking for something that records digitally so we can remove the content immediately and ready for post-production. What are some god mixers that have multiple channels (4-8) and hard drive capabilities? Money isn’t too much of an issue. Any suggestions?

    Hi Richard,

    What is the primary intention, production dialogue for film and TV, or music, or?

    Do you need 4-8 channels of mixing and 4-8 channels of recording?

    Will this be used in field conditions?

    What other equipment will the mixer and recorder need to support?

    Do you have post, or are you shipping the material to a post house?

    If you have post, what systems do you use?

    What’s your favorite color?

    I know, a lot of questions, but the answers will help determine the options. Except the last question, of course. That’s only for fun, hehe!!
