Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

2016-01-14 Thread Nickus de Vos

Hi Kevan
Back when Behringer bought Midas or when in to partnership with Midas water, a 
lot of people thought it’s the start of big things. When the x32 mixer was 
released and there was talk of Midas tech used in the pre amps things sounded 
even better but soon most realised after all the x32 is still a Behringer and 
will always be a Behringer.
True that the mixer took the market by storm and impressed a lot of people at 
first, but that was mostly because of the hype created, clever marketing with 
the Midas name being tossed around etc.

As I said, if you look at a Behringer x32 today, you soon realise it’s a 
Behringer desk through and through, it works the same as previous models, it 
will last the same as previous models and after a while it will also start 
sounding the same as previous models. Yes they used Midas tech in the pre-amps 
but at the same build quality and quality control, it’s still same old 
Behringer.

With that being said, each person must buy what fits his budget and needs, this 
is simply my opinion. Personally I still use a Focusrite Safire 6 USB and a 
Safire pro 40, both old interfaces but both still fit my needs, I don’t really 
have the need for a newer interface because I don’t track a lot. If I had the 
money and needed to upgrade, I’d probably go for a UAD Apollo or a Focusrite 
Clarett.

 If you are serious about what you do then get something decent, Focusrite 
 make decent stuff and they are not that expensive. Comparing the sound 
 quality of a $500 Behringer interface to a $500 Focusrite interface, the 
 difference will be night and day, plus the Focusrite will last longer.

2016-01-14 Thread Kevin Reeves

Actually, that company has had a giant shake up in the past three years. For 
the longest time, I believe the exact same thing you did.  They have since 
bought Midus  TC helicon, and other big companies. When they released their x32 
line of live/studio mixers, it took the pro audio world by storm. All of these 
guys who at one time or anti-Behringer, couldn't say enough nice things about 
this line of boards. The interface that we are discussing has that exact same 
set of preamps in it. I have heard tons of Boardmixes with these preamps, and 
they sound great. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this piece of hardware.

Hi, Out of these interfaces you just talked about in your messages which 
one is probably the best one and going down in quality as I will be 
trading in the Digi 003 so will get some trade in value for it so want 
to know the quality and accessibility of these three interface 
companies?  Remember I need at least 4 microphone preamps and 8 inputs 
more of course without buying an exbanding device this way if you can 
give me the information I can take this message with me to the store and 
show them and they can tell me what they have? Nick Gawronski

2016-01-13 Thread Steve Sparrow

Hi Nick well myself, I use the motu 896 mark 3. It has 8 very good mic line 
prees. It connects with fire wire or Usb. I also have a focus right box that 
has 8 more mic line prees. it connects fire optical cables. s on it. so i can 
record up to 16 tracks at once if need be. can’t remember the model number of 
this thing, but i’ll get it if you want it.

As far as the control surface, i use the mackie control surface. H t h
If you want a smaller set up, there is also a presonus baudio ox that i use 
with just 4 mic line prees, and that’s about all it’s got. certainly not the 
sound of the motu, but gnot bad at all really, ood enough for out in the field 
recording.

If I were in the market for a new interface, I'd go for the Focusrite
Clarit 8 or 8x or the Motu 896MK2 or MK3.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

2016-01-13 Thread Kevin Reeves

This is the rub.

Every company is moving to this software control panel.
This is where you route your headphones and other output pairs, turn direct 
monitoring on and off, add any direct monitoring effects, etc.
The other rub is that the factory defaults for these settings are often not 
desirable, so you have no idea what needs to be changed until you get the unit..
>From what I’m gathering from others in the field, tons of these control panels

>windows.
I have beaten my head against the wall to try and find the interface that has 
the most accessible control panel, but without purchasing every one of these 
units to see what the status is, I can only go on hearsay from folks in the 
field.
The fortunate thing about the Scarlet control panel is the fact that it uses a 
standard open dialog box to load control panel settings.
Plus, you can temporarily load settings depending on your needs, and when you 
want the machine to permanently retain the settings, you can burn it to flash 
memory so when you power off the device, those settings are saved.

I am not sure what the status is on the newly released U-phoria interface from 
Behringer: whether it uses a control panel interface or not. I will dig through 
the manual to see what the deal is.

This is the unfortunate Byproduct of companies trying to provide digital 
solutions to analog problems.

Instead of letting the Daw handle routing, which daws are very capable of 
doing, they’re providing these virtual environments, which unfortunately lock 
us out of being able to take full advantage of these units.

End of rant.

The scarlet 18 – I 20 has its own power supply. So does the octoPre.  The 
octoPre cannot be used as a standalone interface for your daw.  It's design is

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

2016-01-13 Thread Kevin Reeves

When the company I work for was setting up equipment for our first run of 
students back in 2014, we tried the 892 mk3, and I absolutely hated it’s 
interface for configuring and routing audio. It has these push pots that can 
put you into all these crazy modes.
You could be leaning over your interface to plug something in and bump 1 or 2 
of these and end up in some weird mode where nothing was working as you’d 
expect.

Also, I hated the fact that the pots were digital and detented. It drives me 
nuts when these interface manufacturers try to provide some digital solution to 
an analog problem, IE pots on a preamp.

MOTU has always made great interfaces, but I happened to hate the 892 from 
usability standpoint.

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

2016-01-13 Thread Kevin Reeves

I’m a huge fan of the scarlet. But if $499 isn’t in your budget, I wanted to 
hip you to the new Behringer U-Phoria that has just come out.

This is in direct competition with the Scarlet, and has the same preamps that 
are in the X32 line. I’ve heard these preamps and they sound great. If you go 
on youtube and search for Behringer X32 board mix, you’ll hear them in action 
with tons of videos.

The u-phoria is only $199, so could meet your needs as well.

I’m not sure what Behringer’s control panels are like, but the scarlet’s panel 
is not accessible under mac, but I think, according to chad, can be used under 
windows, and you can burn the settings to the machine permanently.

Hope this helps.

settings as I would rather not deal with a device that has portions I 
can't access and have you written the company about these issues?  Nick

You’d have to change the sample rate because you’d have no idea what it is from 
the factory.

Also, don’t worry about setting the settings at the store. Chad and I both have

This is the rub.

Every company is moving to this software control panel.
This is where you route your headphones and other output pairs, turn direct 
monitoring on and off, add any direct monitoring effects, etc.
The other rub is that the factory defaults for these settings are often not 
desirable, so you have no idea what needs to be changed until you get the 
unit..
From what I’m gathering from others in the field, tons of these control 
panels are inaccessible, and the ones that are, oddly enough, are accessible 
via windows.
I have beaten my head against the wall to try and find the interface that 
has the most accessible control panel, but without purchasing every one of 
these units to see what the status is, I can only go on hearsay from folks 
in the field.
The fortunate thing about the Scarlet control panel is the fact that it uses 
a standard open dialog box to load control panel settings.
Plus, you can temporarily load settings depending on your needs, and when 
you want the machine to permanently retain the settings, you can burn it to 
flash memory so when you power off the device, those settings are saved.

I am not sure what the status is on the newly released U-phoria interface 
from Behringer: whether it uses a control panel interface or not. I will dig 
through the manual to see what the deal is.

This is the unfortunate Byproduct of companies trying to provide digital 
solutions to analog problems.

Instead of letting the Daw handle routing, which daws are very capable of 
doing, they’re providing these virtual environments, which unfortunately 
lock us out of being able to take full advantage of these units.

End of rant.

the presonus audio box is called an audio box 44. yes it requires an external

it only has two moc line preess. i did actually give the little one a go, as i 
was just doing some two track transferring. but it does not seem to have much 
head room. the 44 is quite good, i’m glad i went with it, as it has proved very

I use a focus right octopree  to extend my studio set up and give me more mic

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

2016-01-13 Thread TheOreoMonster

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?

Re: audio interface with at least 8 inputs and outputs and some microphone preamps that are XLR

2016-01-13 Thread Kevin Reeves

Just looked at the Behringer 18 20 manual and I can safely say that there is no 
control panel needed. There is a direct monitoring knob on the unit, and a 
button for setting sample rate for external digital devices.

For $199, this may be an incredible bang for the buck.

I think I’ll take the plunge here in a few weeks and grab one. I’ll report back.

Kevin

What type configurations can you make/change with its control pannel, for 
example?

Chris.

I have been using the focusrite scarlett 18–i20 and have pretty good luck 
with it.   Basic settings can even be changed with use of the Jaws cursor in 
windows. However, on mac the control panel is not usable at all.  The way I 
get around this is by saving any figuration I might need to a snapshot and 
just reloaded whenever I need it.

I have had no trouble with mine. I also connected a octoPre via adat for eight 
more inputs.
