"Upgrading" from Delta 1010 to MOTU 896 (non-hd) + more!
*edit: OK this is a goddamn boring thread, so I'm gonna spice it up! What's the best, most useful, most quality-increasing piece of equipment you've ever bought?
Or, if you'd rather answer my original question, that'd be ok too
:
I'm currently using a Delta 1010 with a Yamaha MG16/4 mixer (for preamps & minimal routing). I figure I could probably get around $250-300 for the m-audio, and around $180-225 for the mixer, and I found a guy selling the MOTU 896 for $450. Thus, I would (kind of) be getting an upgrade for free, plus I'd have a shorter signal chain so one would assume I would end up with slightly higher quality audio capture, I think?
Let me know if I'm doing something stupid here
