I'd like an 8 channel ad/da with gain control.

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Does anyone know of an 8 channel ad/da converter that offers gain
control? I just recorded drums out of my Roland R-8 drum machine
through my new digi 002 rack and came across a bit of a concern. When
using 7 individual outs off the Roland, the three that go into inputs
5-7 on the digi don't have enough gain. I have them all swithed to -10
but they still aren't ideal. Since I want to come out of Pro tools to
eventually mix analog, I figure I need 8 more DA channels anyway. So
does anyone know of a converter that will give me at least 4 more gain
controlled inputs for say less than a grand? If this has been
discussed already I'd love to get the link.

Thanks.

Getting 8 channels of a/d with gain (usually that means mic amps) is not
hard; getting 8 channels of a/d AND d/a with gain on the a/d IS hard.
