Well in the grand scheme of things it actually does matter. I contacted Focusrite Support and they also expressed their frustration with this missed feature.
the sierra update means my maudio1814 no longer has a driver, so i am looking for a new interface.winston wrote:i use a M-Audio 1814, and have done for about 7 or 8 years. I chose that one because it had the most Inputs i could afford at that time, and i wanted individual Ins for my 909 and it gave me good outs so i could have 2 separate digital channels on a DJ mixer back in the days before Traktor existed.. The firewire aspect meant i had to buy a Macbook when my old Windows laptop died, as there were no windows laptops with a FW port available. I think the drivers might become unsupported soon by M-Audio, but shit happens.
are you at any point gonna record 20 mono or 10 stereo sounds or any variation of that total number at the same time ?winston wrote: if you can recommend any cheap but good interfaces that have about 20+ in/outs, i'll listen.
yeah, kind of. i know that interfaces with that many in/outs can be expensive. i have 8 outs from sampler, 4 from tr8, 6 for send fx, plus i'm trying to win ebay bids for either another sampler and/or a filter. i'd use 8 outs into a dj mixer to traktor dj. i know what you're saying that the majority of the time there will be spare channels, but if i can avoid plugging/unplugging constantly i'd prefer it. if i can nab the focusrite and an adat thing, that would be 16 i think, which would be workable for sure. maybe it'd come to around £400 or less.Hades wrote:are you at any point gonna record 20 mono or 10 stereo sounds or any variation of that total number at the same time ?winston wrote: if you can recommend any cheap but good interfaces that have about 20+ in/outs, i'll listen.
Because if that's not the case, you're just gonna be paying for something you won't use.
get a patch bay, and the plugging and unplugging will be very limited.winston wrote: yeah, kind of. i know that interfaces with that many in/outs can be expensive. i have 8 outs from sampler, 4 from tr8, 6 for send fx, plus i'm trying to win ebay bids for either another sampler and/or a filter. i'd use 8 outs into a dj mixer to traktor dj. i know what you're saying that the majority of the time there will be spare channels, but if i can avoid plugging/unplugging constantly i'd prefer it. if i can nab the focusrite and an adat thing, that would be 16 i think, which would be workable for sure. maybe it'd come to around £400 or less.
