    I would love to have a large desk with faders, but I dont have the space, so I just mix in software (with ableton). The iPad would be ok, i guess. I even thought about getting a motu 16a, but was let down by their browser-mixer, where its real slow to switch from one screen to another. so a dedicated mixer software is a must.

    but I think you’re right, for my purpose the 802 with adat extensions might be the better solution, as the use in the studio is the main thing and live a plus. With the arc its also usable as a standalone-mixer, if I just want to call up presets. Ill come back to a larger digital mixer when I move to a larger flat sometime …

    Dear Andreas,
    thanks for pointing this out. I didnt realize this before. So the USB-DAW is handled via the Qu-Pack as just another “instrument” with separate in- and outputs, isnt it? So it wouldnt be possible to record 16 Inputs with the daw and route them to external outboard gear at the same time, or would it?

    For my setup (3 analog Synths, 2 drum machines, 5 outboard fx that I want to use in conjunction with my daw in the studio and take the hardware sometimes to a gig) it might be a better solution to go for an RME 802 with one or two additional ADAT converters. There I can access all channels with the DAW and route them to any output at the same time. USB Recording is not that important, as I can bring my laptop. I have a small Audio Interface (apollo Twin) at the moment, but I can only extend it with 8 inputs, but no further outputs, so the decision is now to go for a qu-pac or the rme 802 with adat extensions (I already have one in my rig). 48 kHz might do the trick, as 96 kHz is quite demanding in terms of cpu-power, I normally only use it in the final mastering stage.

    Hi Andreas,
    thanks 🙂
    so its not possible to use the ins and outs from the qu series directly from a daw? it wouldnt be possible to record and output multiple channels via usb? So whats then possible via usb? or am i missing something? i thought, the qu-pac could be used as an multichannel usb interface as well.

    Cheers
