is there a good shootout between proper studio grade adc (analog to digital convertors) and the adcs on something like zoom 8 trackers, and equivalents? i would

  Why? I feel the more “accessible” 8 track products are usually good enough these days and it isn’t the aim of them to go up against 8 channels of Prism/weiss/Burl or whatever. And those high end convertors are often used in places where everything is at least very good to among the best (whatever that means), including the room and the operator(s) of the equipment. Most of the rest of the chain would be a weaker link to producing a track including the person writing it, than some of the modern mutlitrack recorders. I would focus instead on usability.

    i guess i like the idea of things like this - without sacrificing audio quality. Though - as folk on gearspace commented - you can just grab something like a mackie universal controller with MMC and just turn off your monitor. Best of all worlds + editing later. def agree these arent aimed at competing - i was just curious though - as the "low end" keeps getting better as time goes on :)

  Just get one with SPDIF in. Then you can use whatever converter you want.
