Allen and

now $399. 100mm faders. 69 db gain range on the pres, tweakable
EQ, 4 aux sends. USB routing to/from computer. Routing is
flexible to accommodate several types of rigs. I think its a great way

Yamaha N12 12-Channel Digital Mixer with Firewire Interface |
The Yamaha N12 Digital Mixing Studio is
a mixing console with an analog-like mixing interface which
boasts ease of operation for professional quality recording
and mixdown. Connecting a computer to the mixer's IEEE 1394
port enables you to configure an ideal recording environment
with seamless integration into Cubase 4.
Tweak:
The N12 is new and in its
own class. It is not only a mixer, but an audio
interface as well, designed to work with Cubase 4.
Basically what we have here is a 12x4 analog mixer joined
with a 16x16 firewire audio interface. 8 preamps.
I think we are going to see the trend continue to have mixer
and audio interfaces combined. What is exciting here
is that you can actually route 10 tracks from Cubase over
firewire and mix them on the 10 faders you see.
