Ljefe- thank you!

So it would actually work, as a replacement for my interface, with the added bonus of being a desk, with all the associated A&H loveliness!

I thought it would be a viable way to do things, however one of the earlier answers said that it wouldn’t work, hence my confusion/disappointment.

I’m going to have to research how it performs with windows 7…

I have a couple of questions if that’s cool-

So you have the qu16? Is there anything about it you would change? Or dislike?

What kind of set up do you have (hardware wise)?

As a solution to moving ITB to OTB, does it tick all the boxes? One of my concerns is that I spend all this money, and am left still needing to use other kit to do things which I expected to be able to do!

Finally- real estate. It’s a desk, so I know there’s going to be a lot of space taken up, so that’s taken as read, however is it too high, or are there any awkward shapes or positioning of ins/outs, that is annoying?

Thanks again!

It’s the focusrite Scarlett 18/6. (USB)

I’ve asked them about adding any extra outs, and they say I can only add ins (up to 8) and not outs.

I’d love that to be wrong, but as it came from the manufacturer direct, I didn’t question it. Mind you, if you are saying I can add outs, then that would change things completely!
Cheers

So very true!

I have spent too much money on things I thought I wanted (maschine mk2 for instance), and then retuned or sold on within a few days!

Luckily I’m now a bit more seasoned, and only buy what I want….although flashing lights do still distract me from this!

Haha yes they are!

I had considered going with a midi control surface, and a bigger audio interface, which would be the simplest option, but I like the idea of everything being in one- mixer, control surface, interface etc.

I don’t know the qu-pac, so I’ll take a look at that and see if it’s for me!

Thanks!

Hey!

It’s not the inputs that are the issue ( I can expand them via light pipe and add another eight),
It’s the outputs I am short off.

I suppose I could look at the analogue option and scale down a bit, but you know what it’s like- as soon as a toy is out of reach, you want to play with it!

That sample rate would suffice. It’s my home studio so I’m not needing it to be ‘professional’ quality

Thanks 🙂

[76richParticipant]

Hey guys thanks for the replies

Patchbay- that would still involve unplugging and plugging in kit wouldn’t it? Also it wouldn’t expand my output options would it? I’m not knowledgable about patchbays, so excuse me if that’s not right!
