RichF Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hi, need a decent multi I/O audio interface. Boiled it down through reviews etc to the following two: [url="http://http://www.thomann.de/gb/esi_esu_1808.htm"]http://http://www.thomann.de/gb/esi_esu_1808.htm[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/maudio_fast_track_ultra.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/maudio_fast_track_ultra.htm[/url] anyone actually own and use either of these? Particular value for me is in live use with multiple outs for mix etc. This suggests rackmount but the MAudio does look good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'd recommend the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. That's what I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] thanks. I dont have firewire but could sort that. Classic GAS moment as I am now looking at a new laptop and a £400 audio interface. I started off looking at spending £150.

noelk27 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Personally, I'd avoid M-Audio. Pres just don't have any real quality (unless, of course, you want to use Pro Tools M-Powered). Take a look at this http://www.lexiconpro.com/product.php?id=170 and this http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/4pre Lexicon is more a home use design, but Motu has been designed for multi-purpose environments.

Pete Academy Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Our hi-tech guy recommends the Saffire Pro 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Can i give the Roland Octacapture a mention. It's about a ton above your budjet though. It is incredibly stable, and works at really really low latency with no problems, also zero latency hardwear monitoring.

RichF Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 got the link wrong in the first post. This is my current front runner USB2 interface [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/esi_esu_1808.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/esi_esu_1808.htm[/url] Liking the look of the Saffire Pro40 but having to sort Firewire is an issue budget wise.
