Wow, it's been sooooo long. Glad you're still out there Sean! Checking out your cool Mixing the Band site - awesome stuff.

I still have my DA7 but doing something new with it. I put it on a keyboard stand (this one to be exact: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I5QTQI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

and moved it close to my Mapex Drum kit. I made a snake using stretchy nylon wire tubing with 4 - 25 ft toslink cables and a 25 ft. word clock cable. Now I have 16 preamps close to my drum kit and can work up a pretty good tracking setup when I'm by myself. Sometimes I'll track with the DA7's compressors/gates/eqs if I'm feeling that.

Cheers and wishing you well old friend!
