I would say it depends upon your goals, USB with two ins and outs is trivial to setup and I get good results from less than $200 of focusrite device but I only record solo instruments with one or two mics. On Jul 7, 2013 1:24 PM, "Mike Holstein" wrote: > > > > On Sun, Jul 7, 2013 at 3:00 PM, Susa

Hi Michael, Yes, there were a few posts a year or so ago, so I thought I'd give this list a shot, since people here have been so helpful. And I was quite honestly giving up with my days of searching and finding nothing to solve my problem. 64 Studio was great, hope they are doing well with t
