Well, my friend, the scarlett 18i8 has an adat in as well as 4 mic pres and also 4 more 1/4" ins at rear. That's the full 16 track complement of multitrack. Far from unextrordinary.Telefunky wrote: a Scarlett provides nice bang for the buck, but nothing extraordinary
cheers, Tom
most of the time I record me and a friend maybe 3 mics and some instrument ins, and i dont need to carry a separate interface with me, this fits in my guitar case!
Actually no other usb units offer 4 mic ins, 4 line ins, *and* adat in a *half rack* battery/12v powered unit (you can power it with a phone charger pack which has a 12v out such as the anker series, tested for over 3 hours on the 1818vsl 8 channel unit) you have to Go to full rack size.
