ok i just want to explain what i want to do with the da7 and the daw.
i want to run my mics into the da7 like always, then out of the lightpipes into the adats then out of the adats into the interface, be it the 2408 or adat bridge (it seems to me it would be smart to use the motu since i have 24trks, is their a main reason i wouldnt want the 2408?), then to the comp. and record on (dp, pt, or nuendo. im not sure, what would u suggest and why) then from the comp back into the interface, then into the da7 again. with the da7 i wanna be able to control the faders on the daw, will i beable to do that, and which program could i do that with, and what would i need to get to do that?
i know i repeated alot of the same questions, i just want to make sure im explaining this correctly. and i now im looking for an answer that u guys would usually say, "it depends on what u want to do with it", but i really have no idea what to get, sure maybe down the line after i make my first choice ill see why i shouldve gotten something else but, i need to make start somewhere.
thanx for dealing with my ignorance,
jal

jal, I'm no (DAW)expert, and I do think you should consult one, but if your running a Win-Tel computer you might check out Saw Studio. It already has mixer maps that supports the DA7. I hear it's a very solid DAW program too!

cool im gonna look at that right now. were could talk to "daw expert"?
thanx soo much,
jal

who makes sawstudio anyways. i looked at it and it looks decent but i still dont know the difference.

I hate to stick my nose in, yet again, but IQS software, the manufacturer of SAW, has gone out of business. I posted Bob Lentini's farewell address earlier today...

great now what? well i guess thats one less choice for me to make. what do i need to make the da7 a contol surface for one of these fine daws?
thanx,
jal

You know jal, I've been using the DA7 with multiple Sonic Solutions DAWs for over 3 years and have YET to complain about the fact that the DA7 won't talk to Sonic!!

I look at my setup as building a 'STOCK' I/O situation in Sonic and then creating multiple MIX SITUATIONS (scenes) on the DA7. Sonic allows me to create a specific MIX DESK that can be saved and recalled.

I can build MULTIPLE situations on BOTH systems that are recalled with a 'QuicKey' stroke that pulls everything together, including Z-Systems routers handling AES protocol problems.

Email privately if you want any more answers.
