Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 audio interface and would like any suggestions based upon user experience etc.
The budget is upto £500 GBP. Okay with Firewire, USB or Thunderbolt (up to TB3)
Preferences:
I would prefer an on-board MIDI IN but that's not essential.
On-board headphones socket and volume preferred.
Balanced outputs for 2 sets of monitors
Dim
Must haves: monitor/volume control, mute, phantom power, low latency, XLR & 1/4 inputs, XLR or Balanced TRS outputs
The main use is for in-the-box production using VST Instruments and sample libraries. Some music pieces have a lot of tracks (200+).
Looking for 2 key things: 1) something that can cope better than the Saffire with the type of work, e.g. solid drivers, large asio load, low latency, reliable, no dropouts/glitches
and: 2) Improved sound quality
Any help or advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
