Ok, currently, I would suggest a Avid MBOX Studio USB-C Audio Interface (currently comes with Protools perpectual liscense) https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MBOXStudio--avid-mbox-studio-usb-c-audio-interface
Slate Digital VMS ML-1 (with or without purchasing the U87 DSP profiles) ...
I would never recommend that garbage interface.
To the OP, I got to go,to work, but I will return to give you a better solution than what others will post.

I understand some people can't afford the ultra high end stuff. I know several musicians started with a simple mixer jacked into computer sound cards and didn't have problems. Problem I see is people using reviews which are paid opinions over people who had to deal with them over the years. But...
Oh now since I have time to comment on this video, its not a very good comparison because its the same mic preamp circuit so the difference parts used is the subtle difference.
We have to look at what your generic Focusrite has for a mic preamp. Because its most likely not what is used in the...
Actually, my knowledge is quite great. I'm sure I could dig out computer schematics, even the apple one. In laptops if they are using a charger, it will hum regaudless if its an Apple or a mac. Macbooks use a power supply, PC laptops are shipped with a charger. Technically either one would need...
Well lets look at this in the scope of the thread starter. The person needs an interface and the instrument primarily used is a keyboard. First, why not get one that comes with a Keyboard software and sample libraries I guess if you have a full keyboard rig this wouldn't be as important but it...
This is what you do in that situation: use an Aux send from the vocal channel out as the dry signal output, and another channel for the wet signal from the master out on your personal mixer.
That a way the FOH guy has a wet and dry channel and be able to control the overall wet mix as well as...
I remember those, it was one of those units people were distraught when Windows 7 came out and they didn't make 64 bit drivers for it. Only worked on a 32 bit OS unless they finally got around to writing a driver. Which I doubt it.
Latency is not a real issue if you operate the monitoring correctly and not monitor in the DAW. DAW monitoring is actually for high end low latency i/o. Unless you are trying to run this on a 15 year old computer, you not going to have issue in that department (if any).
yes in a lot of ways. The focusrite doesn't come with a decent software package and their mic preamps are not that good and not really compatible with dynamic mics as they have a tendency to be muddy and a EQ nightmare in some cases. I see musicians get better results jacking in a mixer into the...
correct. There are two choices during install, one is to install it with its software license ( which would be steinburg license) or onto a e-license dongle. Either way, it adds the license to the account at installation.
At2020 is a good mic, but I would get a different interface because there are a few really good ones in that price range. One is the SSL2 and the other is UAD volt. But I would recommend the SSL2 over the volt in your case because of the plugins/software package that is focused around keyboard...
Its common for a lot of mass produced corporate stuff. The only problem with shure mics are design based. The SM7 for it to be correct, it needs a dynamic mic step up transformer added. (Which was the common mod way before those cloudlifters were invented. Which the cloudlifter adds noise and...
So basically what you did is turn it into a PG58 which is the same thing without a mic transformer.
Nothing is going to happen when you put a dynamic mic on phantom. Because the circuit is across pins 2&3 on a dynamic mic and pin 1 is just shielding.
Its going to be the same on stage as a PG58...
one would think you could configure a hd24 to arm tracks individually like the tascam. But if I was setting up one of these tape era boards I would get enough recording i/o so I wouldn't have to patch and re-patch. That gets old quickly.
Well you use a tascam DA-6400 with two 16 ch AES cards with nice converters with AES i/o unless you want to go dante and remote patching by a tablet becomes a possibility and opens the door up to a wider good but low priced interfacing like the $200 danteAVIO 2Ch adapters
Edit: The correct...
Its a FET 2SK24 is the part number. datasheet : https://www.myon98.net/memo/datasheet/2sk24.1971.pdf
Electret mics either have a common source amp built into them or external like this one.
Look ahead limiter plugin then afterwards a compressor plugin. Since you didn't track it with a limiter going in, which is the correct thing to do instead of a compressor when recording into an ADC. That is one of the ways the interfaces are built wrong, but that is a different subject.
Guitar amps are a different animal than my amp. Bryston amps are good amps and work great too. I didn't want to mention slew rate if this audience wasn't technical, but the slew rate of my OTL amp is about 2KV/uS. I'm used to working with monitors, but I was thinking about making an OTL...
