    A few questions on DI boxes.

    Hey everyone. Do any of you use a DI box instead of plugging a guitar into your interface? If so, why? Is it always or nearly always a better alternative as far as audio quality goes? If I was to get one for my guitar and then a single preamp for my mic would I need to route them both to an...

    Hey everyone! I'm really tossed up between these two interfaces. They both have everything i'm looking for, I think. 8 pres, ADAT, Hi-z. It's too bad about no MIDI for the MR816 but it's no biggie. I get the MR816 has slightly to much better everything but the main thing keeping me from a...
