Been eyeing a few of the behringer U-Phoria stuff and the ones i looked at seem to be core audio compatible out of the box, which means no drivers to install and no petty control software to mess with. Not sure if the the one kevin mentioned falls into this category though.
The DAW will usually force the sample rate on the audio interface so if you are just changing sample rate most modern interfaces will follow and change based on the DAW. However if you want to monitor with their built in effects or set up for a ADAT set of mic press attached to the unit you may have to go into the the control panel for the interface. The other thing you mentioned is you wanted nothing with better preamps. than your 003. But if you go with the scarlet or behringer you are probably more moving sideways as in they are probably about all equivalent give or take in sound quality. Until you start looking at stuff like Apogee, some of the universal audio interfaces or the FocusRiteClarrette range you really won’t be stepping up. That being said unless your studio is making your a very nice profit, no need to step up yet. Lastly be aware of using ADAT to extend your interface if you like to record at 96khz. As ADAT will subtract 2 channels for every sample rate you go above 48khz. Tuscan is the only company i seen recently that did 16 channels in one interface not requiring dat and that isn’t a mixer. I think the US1800 and US1640 maybe? > On Jan 13, 2016, at 2:51 PM, Kevin Reeves <[email protected]> wrote: > > I’m a huge fan of the scarlet.
