While looking for a digital recorder , I was wondering whats the difference between a 788t and Cl-8 set up instead of my sd 442 and a new 744t
Is there something Im missing in thinking the 788t/cl8 would act as a field mixer to camera and independent recorder
Ive read the specs and it seems I can route the inputs to L.R for the camera whilst indepently recording on the internal drive and using the cl-8 to mix
Given Sound devices have just launched a reasonably new 5 ch mixer which if combined with the 744t would work out as the same price as the 788t/cl8, but the latter gives you 3 extra digital channels........... am I missing something...... is it too difficult or awkward to replace a "traditional" mixer
Dont know anyone with one so was hoping someone here with experience could tell me the pro's and cons as its a substantial cost to chance
Thanks in advance
