I am looking for a cheap upgrade and can't really afford to go UAD or SSL etc.
I currently use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 but have recently bought some hardware synthesisers I need to hook up, so need more inputs. I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade from the Scarlett to something better too. I only have 2 hardware synth modules at the moment, so don't need tons of inputs necessarily.
Some locally is selling both of the above for pretty cheap. The MOTU 2048 Mk3 comes with the PCI-424 card and my motherboard does have a legacy PCI slot. The 828 Mk2 if the FireWire model so doesn't need a PCI.
They are to be used on a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit machine. Are either of these still worth buying? Or are there other alternatives anyone could recommend?
