Im updating up set up and want a portable system that is good quality.
It seems from what I understand (I havent followed the trends at all over the past 10-15 years) that the whole mixing desk thing isn't such a big deal these days and I can do it all in the box (laptop)
A friend of mine is advising get a good interface and good preamp for each channel and you're on your way.
I want 8 inputs (& preferable 8 out).
Looking though it seems a lot of the interfaces have a preamp on a couple of the channels and rest not?? or am I missing something?
I hear the RME stuff is good FF400 or 800, I've also been looking at Focusrite and Motu.
on the RME 800 you have 4 channels with pre amps? but then you have to buy another preamp channel unit to run infront for the remaining channels??
Maybe I'm being very dense?
Motu do the 8pre which has a preamp on every one, but for the price I worry about the quality.
I would prefer to have 2 super preamp channels and 6 ok ones rather than 8 good. (I think)
