kneal6 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Thought I'd offer this on here before I put it on the bay. High-end audio interface, used by loads of famous people. I did have a fancy laptop setup that I used this and it was great but the laptop's knackered now and I've only been using it as a basic sound card with my desktop PC so I'm going to downgrade to a PCI card instead.

And what Programs does it work with? Cheers[/quote] Works with any program you want afaik. It's got 2 mic/instrument inputs on the front, 8 analogue line ins at the back so that's 10 tracks simultaneously, then it's got digital input as well so if you wanted to input more mics you could get a mic preamp with digital outs like [url="http://www.bluearan.co.uk/menu/index.php?id=BEHADA8000&browsemode=category"]this one[/url] and get another 8 inputs (I think you can add more than that using s/pdif but that's loads already)
metalmaniac Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Does it come with the mixer software? ANd just to clarify, does it record each track seperately, or does it record to a pc by mixing down the tracks? Sorry to be asking lots of questions. If your looking for a replacement , If i buy this, Id have a small usb breakout m-audio fast track usb I would no longer need. Works brilliant as a soundcard and 2 track digital recorder.

As for recording software, It came with Audiodesk, the MOTU recording program for mac, I think I've got the CD here but I'll have a look round later. Doesn't come with any software for PC though Yes it's got 10 separate inputs and you can record from them all simultaneously. Loads of people have these in their studios, the only band I can think of right now is Scissor Sisters but there's lots more. Gonna have to pass on the usb interface, I'm looking to get a PCI card. Any more questions just ask.
