Hello all,

I'm about to take my Dubs out with a band but don't really want to use my 'worked & saved' hard for Macbook out, so wasa thinking whats good and cheap to take out, i'd like 8 outs roughly speaking to put through my desk...i've heard about DATs & Samplers but don't know much about this....i know Mad Professor use DAT...but which one i don't know and how?

So any advice from the Dubwise would be great.

Looking to spend around £250 max

cheers to replies

DATs are stereo only, It would be impractical to take an ADAT on stage.

Just burn a CD, that's what I do.

Yeah, i recently met Dreadzone recently and they do the same, at first i was like...ahem! but then i thought why not, only thing is i'm sure our keys guy will wanna tweak some bits live, but then again he could play them.

I fear a CD jump, what can you recommend on the player front...and do you use high quality CD-R's...any recommendations on that front ? Do you split the stereo for the mix? I ask that as i may want to create a drum click track...maybe....or a seperate tweakable channel?

Is there a way to have sperate output tracks of a CD other than the strereo pair?.....i'm sure that was a stupid question

cheers

You coud also use an iPod or a falsh memory based player.

Yeah thats true, i have an Iriver
