Studio switch-up - another Presonus Digimax FS

About 9 months ago I picked up a Presonus Digimax FS to add to the studio rack. It gave me the ability to record up to 24 simultaneous tracks (which I don't think I've ever used more than 16 simultaneous tracks), but also, gave me the ability to patch in the ART MDM-8L compressor/limiter for a little extra protection during the recording process. In an effort to make things a bit more consistent from a studio setup standpoint, I decided to sell both my Focusrite Octopre LE and Presonus Digimax LT and pick up a second Digimax FS. So while I've dropped from 24 to 16 simultaneous tracks, all 16 channels are now identical (all XMAX preamps with compression/limiting in the inserts).

I spent a bit of time on Saturday afternoon re-wiring the studio rack... removing the Octopre & Digimax LT, installing the Digimax FS, patching in the ART MDM-8L, and verifying that everything's wired up correctly by recording some test tracks in Sonar.



While I don't have any big (full band) recording projects on the horizon, I am planning on doing a bit of solo recording over the next few weeks, so that will be a good opportunity to put the new Digimax FS through its paces.
