I've been a student at CSU Monterey Bay for awhile, and have been very involved in their music department, and currently helping with some decisions to purchase a new console for the recording department. Our recording technology department has recently been growing, and we are hoping to offer better resources for students. We are trying to find a somewhat modern console, which has some sort of automation capabilities or ability to interface with computer DAWs (mainly ProTools) to replace our rather noisy and useless Mackie 32-8. We have been given a grant that offers us a flexibility between $20-25k at this point. We've been looking at a Euphonix CS2000, Neve VR, and Soundcraft DC. It is pretty hard to track down other options without prices firmly listed online, or people open to negotiation for a school.

I'm asking some of the tribe members who have are involved in the music industry and/or have connections to possibly help get us in touch with people who are currently selling their consoles. Feel free to get in touch with me through tribe or email either mikejuarez@gmail.com or, contact my instructor, Paul Contos at Paul_Contos@csumb.edu.
