Im looking for a new Audio Interface to replace chepoid Soundblaster Live 24. Im looking for 6 inputs to combine to 2 stereo outs (1 for headphone). I drew a line in the sand with Delta Lite to compare to.
The Layla is $414 new w/factory warranty (haven't seen used price).
The Delta Lite is $240 new w/factory warranty (no rack panel but cable dongle) (best used in about $160).
Both are PCI do the about the same functions but Layla does have
- 2 auto sensing XLRs,
- headphone output,
- rack section,
- balanced TRSs
- better dynmaic range by about 10db
- DAW software Traction
- and has brand name and reputation.
M-audio has good rep but not pro material and no DAW but has solid drivers I hear.
Im looking for a good reason to justify the +$175 difference in cost as the Layla is sexy and quality (and thats me all over
. Anything you can offer to support one or the other. Does Layla have better software or something?. I think it comes with Traction DAW. I use Power Tracks Pro (cheapie) and just got Adobe Audition and wouldnt mind taking the software plunge to a new DAW if worthwhile.
Any opinions are appreciated!
Thanks!
