Carl, You could use a workaround to use the individual tracks from Doggiebox, assuming they were available soon. If you precede the first "real" measure of your song with a "count in" measure, you could strategically place one "strike" for each instrument on the same beat. Export your tracks (when the feature becomes available). Import them individually into your workstation. Use the "count in" measure to visually line up that first strike, using your ears to fine tune it. This should put all the sounds that follow into syncronization. Theoretically, I could do this today by saving a version of a song as many times as it took to have one for each mixer channel I desired. I could take the "song_snare.dbsong" and kill everything but the snare. I could take another version of the same master song called maybe "song_kick.dbson" and do the same for the kick. I could export each one, import the results into Cubase, then line them all up. To date, this has been much more trouble than it's been worth to me. As I type this, however, I find the mixing possibilites fairly intriguing and I may give it a try. If you don't have a good visual display, it might be hard.

Yup... there's one firewire connection to the computer. The deck itself [does lots of far-out stuff]. Each input and output channel is discretely available to/from the computer over the firewire (so that's something like 4 dozen channels in all).
As far as Doggiebox is concerned, the missing link right now of course is that you can only have a stereo output. But in concert with the configurable folddown/export groupings coming in the future will also be assignable outputs, so that it will be possible to play back a piece over e.g. 8 output channels at once.
Very cool. I can see that would certainly be handy. My first recording experiences quite some years ago now were on 24 track ADAT, and first being baffled that the drums needed at least 8 mics, and later was impressed by how much flex that gave the mixing process.

Hmmm, I suspect that is _well_ out of my budget,
And it _is_! ;) Over 650 quid on this side of the pond :)
Does anyone know anything cheaper and dumber (like, just lets you split multiple audio channels via Firewire or USB into audio, and nothing more? :) I've got plenty of mixing power on my VS-1680, though little output power from my PowerBook (which only does Firewire through a PC card, but if I save up to get my wife one of those new iBooks .... :)
Cheers, Carl
