If i'm using a digital preamp that connects to my computer via audio interface (ADAT). does the quality of the audio interface matter much? I mean, for example, will a behringer ada8200 sound different through the ADAT input of different audio interfaces?

yea, I understand the value of not having a high-gain preamp; however, I spent years using an apogee duet (75dB gain) with absolutely no problems with high SPL sources or "hot" capacitor mics. I just think that when you are marketing to people who aren't professionals (noobs who know nothing of...

the audio you hear is coming from the camera source, but he's recording through the focusrite into the DAW. I don't think there's anything wrong with the clarett except that the mic pres are too quiet for acoustic guitar. My vocals were weak as well, but usable. I can tell you that I could...

this is another youtube video, same issue, and this guy did the factory reset YouTube

Yes, it doesn't make sense at all- hard to believe. Proof's in the puddin' though.

Sweet. I think I'm gonna get the UCA 202- the devil drives bit convinced me

I feel like all the clues are presented in the video I first mentioned. This was released by Focusrite themselves. They wouldn't stage a demonstration with a faulty unit. I agree with Talisman- underengineered mic pres for sure. I would go as far as to say this video is deceptive. It seems...

james perrett, yea, that's the one. It's a hair-brained idea, I know, but I actually like the eurorack for recording drums and I hate throwing things out. wish there was a simple, effective way to connect the eurorack to the optical input on the apogee

meh, I'll just wait till I have enough money to buy a cheap digital preamp. I wish you could buy a simple converter that has like one XLR/1/4 inch input and an optical out but, alas, I guess the market has spoken. thanks for your time though- very informative!

Focusrite clarett preamps are super weak!!! I had a focusrite clarett 4pre for 3 days. I could not get a usable signal out of it. Even with the gain turned almost all the way up, the signal was super weak. After normalization the noise floor was higher than any preamp I've ever used. I think...

thank you! I was also wondering about the wordclock issue. those cheap converters don't have a wordclock

If I recorded condensor mics from the rca outs on my mixing board (behringer eurorack) into a cheap analog to digital converter (like one found on amazon for 30 bucks) would the result be passable? I already have an optical in on my audio interface (apogee element) and want to add a couple...
