Well, folks, it's done. I bought a Mackie 1202-VLZ at Project One in Hollywood - felt much better about going with a store instead of potentially duplicating the Car From Hell Syndrome already experienced via the unfortunate purchase of an 88 (87? 86?) Saab from a private owner (who was actually a wholesaler and, believe it or not, returned to his native France three days after the check cleared...). Anyway! It was only $279, because it wasn't a VLZ Pro, "merely" a VLZ. When I'd bought it, though, suddenly there were all these other folks in the store that were singing its praises as well. I feel much better, and love the text on the side of the box with the packing symbols! Looks like these yeggs have a sense of humor as well. And OooOOooooooh, it's soooo clean.... (mentally avoiding gushing and orgasmic sounds) (panting) What this lovely 12-track replaces is a pair of 4-tracks (Yamaha and Tascam, belts shot!) and a KM602 keybd mixer (my God, the noise!) that were practically stuck together with tape. Tomorrow I'm going to post a loop that's the first Loop of the Week recorded using the mixer, and required absolutely NO Noise Reduction whatsoever. I was so ecstatic about the quality of signal that I went out and bought a footswitch for the Time Machine, which will make performing a lot more simple than before... Tonight I'm doing what one could call an Acid Test, but without the Acid (like there's any of THAT around any more!), so it's really a well-developed trial which, ultlimately, results in more performances! This evening the experiment also includes projected (and sound-synced) graphics... so hopefully there'll be some slack jaws in the group tonight as a result. :) Thanks so much for all of your help, however remotely, on this.
