Converting a D8B to a full fledged DAW Controller (w/o MIDI)

[High C Double G]

Sheesh Greg! way to go... I'm trying to be the middle man here...

Actually Greg doesn't have a bad Idea; this is what they did with the original d8b mixer... hmmm

Maybe the…

MFII - A software controller system for the d8b digital console. Everything you need is in the box.

…could follow suit, I mean the d8b was largely successful. Just saying.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's moving week for me, been loaded with work at the studio and Frank have deadlines to meet at work also. Let's just say it's been a busy couple of weeks!

We should be back working on the project in mid-July, once everything settles down.

Thanks for being patient! We're doing are best here!

Wahhhhhhhhhh

Just kidding - I'm a newcomer to the D8B world so I'm sure others have been waiting longer and more anxiously than I have! Anyway, thanks for all your hard work - I don't have to tell you you'll have a line of orders when you're ready!

Hi Marc and Franc, thanks so much for all the hard work you've put into this project. Like many members I cannot wait to give this a try!

I have a few D8B's I would love to set up in this manner and frankly, considering what else is on the market and how much these controllers cost, you could virtually name your price!

Looking forward to seeing more updates when things have settled from your move!

Best of luck,
Simon

Just thought I'd share that with the group. I'm sure it will go up, but thats an amazing price on a C24. Minor LED display issue, but still....if I wasn't already invested into my D8B I'd jump on it....

What I want to know is how the C24 can do both Control Surface and Audio so easily. Is there a way to incorporate the Analog I/O via ADAT outs?? I need a better understanding of the technical limitations that make that difficult with the D8B.

I wish I could nab that C24, just to compare the two....

[rcb4t2]

Don't mean to needle you, but that was a Control 24, not a C24. A C24 for $2500 would be bananas though...

[Axeman098]

Nope, you are correct. I didn't catch it.....my bad
