Not a lot available if you want control surface and interface in one. The 003 if you can find one though they are nearing end of life as well. However as a point this doesn't neccessarily mean they will stop working As a lot of Avid's hardware have a 5 or so year lifespan at least once avid

So long as its a basically simple interface i find you don’t need to worry about the software fort being accessible. If the DAW like logic can force the interface to accepts its bit depth/sample rate which most modern interface will accept the only other reason to go into the control software

Yep, that makes sense. It would probably drain an iOS device battery in no time. It really is a great unit, solid and simple. If I were to ever give up the Symphonies, I'd surely go for the Apogee Thunderbolt. Slau On Nov 18, 2015, at 7:04 PM, TheOreoMonster wrote:
