hey guys, looking for a usb interface sound card with about 8 xlr inputs, all i can find so far is the m audio fast track ultra 8r, just wondering if anyone knew of anything similar? cheers!
Anyone know anything about the Behringer ADA8000 AD-DA converter/preamp?
im not even sure if its a usb interface..
opinions apreciated
No, it goes to a soundcard with ADAT expansion, it is NOT an interface itself.

(You will find that even USB2 chokes after a handful of channels due to it being a BURST MODE way to transfer data best suited to file copies and auxiliary devices like cameras, mice and keyboards. If you want lots of ins/outs you want to move up to FIREWIRE, which can sustain a large uninterrupted flow of data....)
i was told that usb is about the same speed as firewire now anyway, and also its not to much of an issue becuase the interfaces have there own processors, so its not slowing your system down to much. i was thinking about just one of the two input ones on your link but i want to be able to record at least 7 mics simultaneously...
