I'm pretty much in the same boat. A quality mid-range price interface is desired.

What did you think of the Claret 8PreX ? I am not searching for the holy grail, but I do want a quality mid-range priced interface and am open to everyone's thoughts.

I probably did a lot more mixing at that time than recording. The reasons I got rid of it is I realize I didn’t care for the “analog hype”, as in I wasn’t using a lot of the UAD 1176/LA2a//etc but I did end up using a lot of the plug in alliance stuff like the Maag and SPL stuff. Native Plug In Alliance stuff went on sale more frequently and at better prices than the UAD versions. Also I could use a lot more without running out of processing power. So not being able to use Unison and not using a lot of the UAD exclusive plugins I decided to get rid of it. I do still have some plug ins in my account that I intended to get a satellite card to use at some point but I still haven’t gotten around to that yet. I eventually ended up with the Clarett 8PreX but no longer have it as I moved and had to downsize. > On Nov 15, 2017, at 12:46 AM, Nathaniel Kile <heavens4r...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Do you have any projects that you recorded with it that I could somehow > listen to?
