Hey guys.
I want to get an audio interface. USB 2.0 or Firewire. I'd like to be able to mic up a drum kit so 8 pres would be nice. I'd like ADAT. I hear hi-z input is better for guitars, so that would be a great addition, and direct monitoring is an absolute must.
I was all ready to get a saffire pro 40 as it has all these features according to the "home recording soundcard wizard" (though i'm not sure if its correct on it having hi-z input, but no biggie) but I read somewhere else on another forum they are not good for tracking drums.
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 Input Levels
That's the link.
So my question is should I save up a bit more and get a higher end audio interface or should I be alright? And if you think I should please give me some suggestions.
Others I were considering were:
Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56
MOTU 896mk3
8pre
Traveler Mk3
RME Fireface 800
TC Electronic Studio Konnekt 48
Last 2 are a little pricey and only 4 pres but I can ADAT more pres and if it gets the job done that much better and is worth it i'd spring for one of them.
