Hey guys. I have a class trying to find a good but affordable pair of stereo microphones and a 2 to 8 channel interface. I'm looking for anything good for instrumental recording for both large ensembles and solo recording. I'm a beginner, so I'd appreciate any help you guys could give me. Thanks

SOLD

RME ADI-8 QS $1200 USD each.

Beautiful converters that are top on my list. Choice for hybrid. These have the lowest latency I know. Combined with the RME PCIe AES 32, they are stellar.

Please i am looking for any suggestion about a good quality audio interface to use as stand alone preamp / converter (lightpipe) for my ALESIS HD24 (8 channel) and as daw interface with logic or Pro Tools on mac book pro, via FW,
is there something around?

I need to consolidate 3 preamps that aren't rack friendly. I have an api 512c, purple biz, and a groove tubes brick. I want to be able to replace those with a one or two space, 4 or 8 channel preamp. what do you recommend. I want to be able to have all my interfaces and sh*t in a 10u case for ease of portability between my three locations I record at.

I have a feeling this is probably a stupid n00b question, but I'm doing it any way. because I AM a stupid n00b.

Folks-

I am giving myself a Christmas gift rather than sending the $$ to Uncle Sam in April. I can really use a good/ great 8 channel mic preamp to augment what I bring onsite currently. I only have room for one rackspace, though.

I am lost and confused. I have a soundcraft spirit folio sx 20 mixingboard. But I want to go all rack, I used this board only for preamps. So I was satisfied with the quality of the preamps.

I'm looking to ad inputs to my digi 001 system. I'm looking at the PreSonus Digimax, the Focusrite Octopre and the MOTU 8pre. Opinionswould be helpful. Specifically which preamps are the best.
Thanks.

Ok I have an RMEfireface 800 and a PreSonus digimax 96. Soon I plan on running both to a good board on mixdown. The problem is the PreSonus only has ADAT outs. The RMEhas ADAT in and outs. If I hookup the PreSonus to the rme, on mixdown, won't I only have the channels on the RMEto work with? I want to have 16 channels in and out. Should I sell the PreSonus and just get another rme?

Hi guys...so my question is this- (may sound really stupid)
my setup is the following- a Mackie CR1604 mixer to a dbx 266xl (compressor/limiter) in to my Digi002 console. I'm thinking of buying a 8channel preamp for my setup hoping it will make my sound a bit fatter/warm/etc...do you think it is a wise idea?
