I’m trying to figure out what the best setup is. I’m looking into getting a Firepod (or something similar for around $500) but am not sure how it will affect my rig. Currently I use a Carvin 1644 mixer and then go into an old Omni I/O to Delta 66. This makes monitoring really easy and frankly, I need the preamps.
Will it still make sense to do this if I get a new interface? I like having faders, effects, and multiple mixes at my fingertips for monitoring, but I’m not sure if I should go direct to the new interface for the preamps, and if running multiple monitor mixes is easy enough. Seems the MOTU 8pre doesn't have many outs, so in that case I wouldn't have much of a choice.
Any recommendations? What is more commonly done?
