I've moved out of my garrage at last and got myself a studio at last. I'm currently using 3 x M-Audio Delta 1010's, that give me 24 channels of simultaneous recording.
Now, I've had nothing but issues with my Delta 1010's from day one. Pops, clicks, blown capacitors, dodgey 1/4" jack connectors, attenuation buttons coming off and loose power leads.
Started with one unit, upgraded to two, and the studio came with one when I bought it!
So, as you can imagine, I now want to upgrade...
I'm on PC:
* 3Ghz Dual Core
* 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM
* FireWire
* PCI-E
* Nuendo 3
I need:
* At LEAST 16 ins, 24+ channels preferred.
* At LEAST 6 outs, more if poss.
* All ins / outs need to be balanced TRS
* SPDIF IN/OUT
* MIDI IN/OUT
* Preamp NOT required, but I'd never say no to that if it was an option
I want an interface that's reliable and I'm willing to pay lots of money for it - Budget up to £2,000.00. Any suggestions will be welcome.
I've no need for ADAT at the moment, or XLR inputs. I mix through a desk first, which then records on to my PC via the Delta 1010s in to Nuendo.
Heard bad things about the MOTU systems, and they seem to the only single unit systems that deal with as many channels as I need?
Was also looking at the Echo Audiofire 12 (possibly getting one now and another later). What do you think of those?
I have a high end PC system, which will be upgraded as required, plenty of high end mics and a few decent mixing desks - I don't want my interface to let me down like my Delta 1010s do at the moment!
