[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 2517, member: 441"] Hello all. Looking to start multitracking some shows. 24 a minimum, 32 or 48 would be super nice. Here are my requirements: Need to be able to accept the direct channel outputs on both ADAT and line level analogue. Preamps are not needed. Whatever interface is used must be able to play back all the channels simulatanously on ADAT and preferally on analogue line level as well, allthough the latter is not needed. Audio quality requirements: Not super-picky here. Non-mission-critical application. This goes for reliability, also. These seem to be my favourite options so far, all very different: JoeCo Black Box BBR1A: 24 channels in on ADAT and analog. 24 channels out on ADAT. Records on whatever USB medium you stick in the port. [URL]http://www.joeco.co.uk/main/BBR_models.html#bbr1a[/URL] Alesis ADAT 24 channel: 24 channels in and out on both ADAT and analog line level. Records on internal hard drives using Alesis format. [URL]http://www.alesis.com/hd24#0[/URL] M Audio Profire Lightbridge : 32 channel in and out, but ADAT only. Converts to Firewire for storage and playback from a computer. [URL]http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProFireLightbridge.html[/URL] Focusrite RedNet 3: 32 channels in and out, but only ADAT. Converts to Dante network protocol for piping via CAT5 into computer for storage and playback. [URL]http://www.focusrite.com/products/audio_interfaces/rednet_3/[/URL] RME Fireface 800: Basically the same as M Audio Profire Lightbridge, but includes a few preamps, more connectivity and a lot more channels. Still not enough analog I/O to do full channel cout recording and playback. [URL]http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_fireface_800.php[/URL] Suggestions welcome, also very different from the products I have mentioned so far. Thanks in advance, best regards, Kristian Johnsen [/QUOTE]
