Hi,
I am a semi-newbie and have an important question relating to my general setup and the use of audio interfaces in a mac / usb world.
My setup (hardware)
-MacBook Pro (mid 2015)
-iPad pro / iPad air 2
-External monitor
-Panorama P4 midi controller
-AKAI MPK Mini midi controller
-Blue snowball ICE usb mic
-AIAIAI over ear headphones
-Kanto YU2 mini monitors
-ROLI blocks lightpad & loop controller
-Focusrite Scarlett 212 audio interface
My setup (software)
-Logic Pro X
-Various apps on iPad (synthesizers, drum machines, instruments)
-ROLI studio
Use cases
Currently I am connecting all external devices directly via USB or in some cases bluetooth
-Connecting external midi controllers (Keyboards, drum pads, iPad) and recording into Logic
-Recording iPad instruments into logic
-Arranging and outputting songs from logic
-Recording vocals from external mic
-Monitoring audio with external headphones and monitors
Note: I do not want to record guitars or other live real instruments
Big and main question:
-What would be the main reason based on my setup to use the Scarlett 212 as an audio interface, is it basically redundant?
-If you have a similar setup do you have any tips to optimise for sound quality and ease of managing all the inputs / outputs
Thanks for any insights before I decide to get rid of my Scarlett audio interface!!
Cheers
Darryl
