(somewhat mitigating this outburst here) I must say I'm not impressed.
I've spent thousands recently and found suppliers either just don't
'know' the products they sell, or purposely misrepresent them. In one
instance it took nearly a month to obtain a refund!
You need to get better suppliers then. Can't help you on your side of the
pond, but I can tell you there is a huge difference on my side of the pond
between most stores and suppliers.
It may even be simpler than that. I should stop immediately snapping up
a bargain and always check that the item is as advertised, before paying.
Why must I
have so many microphone inputs? I'm a solo poet/musician
with one mic. and enough places to plug it in to sink a battleship.
You don't need to get that many mic inputs unless you want them. There are
multiple interfaces I can think of with 2 or less mic inputs but still
having ADAT or multiple line inputs. And of course there are numerous 2
channel or so interfaces.
I may have just found something more suitable than I've seen before. Eight
line level inputs to one ADAT with word clock in/out in half rack width.
Pretty reasonable price too. SMPro Q-ADAT.
Synth
manufacturers: Why no ADAT out?
Korg Triton, as an example, years ago had it. I liked the concept, in
reality it very rarely got used, thus why it likely got removed(Pure
assumption on my part). For gigging musicians, it means savings thousands
of dollars on AD/DA conversion, for studio musicians many are switching to
controllers and computer based synths or using analog synths.
Was it an option for the Triton? I've seen little boards for the rack version
at $400. Alesis Quadrasynths had it, of course.
