Actually I not asking about a specific use. Rather I want to get a sense of what is out there that folks like using. Before this thread I hadn’t given much thought about audio interfaces because mine was working fine. Still in the back of my mind I know someday the firewire will flake out. Figured when that happened I’d need to get something similar with a modern computer connection. Then when Nico5 made the point about separating the Interface from the analog digital conversion, that made a bunch of sense. So now I’m curious what options are out there.
Last night I took a quick look on Sweetwater and the naming inconsistency made it impossible to sort out without spending a lot of time looking at details. I do like the idea of used devices. I do have an an ADAT recorder that I’ve kept around solely for the A/D (it eats tape).
