My Audio Interfaces.

[DrNomis_44]

Just thought you guys might like to see a pic of the Audio Interfaces I use in my little studio in my bedroom, so here goes, starting from the top:


Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface....I use this mainly with my Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop.

Digidesign Digi001 Audio Interface......I use this with my old late 90's era Dual 500Mhz G4 Macintosh that's running ProTools LE6.4.

Focusrite Saffire Pro40 Firewire 400 Audio Interface....I use this with my Desktop PC which is my main studio computer.

Digidesign Digi002 Firewire 400 Audio Interface...I also use this with my Desktop PC, useful for adding more inputs.

Hey DrNomis I think there all pretty dam good audio interfaces. The Scarlett 212 is also iPad compatible.The Saffire Pro 40 gives you plenty of ins and outs and the Digidesign 002 I believe still works with Pro Tools 12.

Pretty much all recently manufactured Audio Interfaces should work with the most recent versions of ProTools since Avid have opened up the ProTools software, back in the early days of ProTools you had to use Digidesign hardware otherwise the software simply wouldn't run, I like the sound of the preamps in the 2i2 and Saffire Pro 40, I think they sound better to my ears than the preamps in the Digi002, I've been seriously thinking of doing the Black Lion mod to my Digi002 but it'll probably cost me something like Au$500.00 or so.

Doc the black audio upgrades are brilliant and well worth doing but the postage to USA and back kills it. I know these guys make brilliant mics and do some audio mods and upgrades in Australia may be worth an email to see if they can work on the 002 https://openplanrecording.wordpress....-ultimate-mod/
I've seen one and heard one of the Behringer ADA 8000 mods they did. Who knows they might be able to help you.

I got my 2i2 in a Focusrite Scarlett Studio package bundle for Au$399.00, pretty glad I bought it as I ended up with a good Focusrite condenser mic as well, you should be able to order the Focusrite Scarlett Studio package bundle from most good music shops, JB HiFi might even stock them too.

ESUI808 with 18 inputs, hooked up through the Eleven rack with a 4 headphone output unit running Protools 11.3. Big thanks to Kimball who gave great advice on setting this rig up a few months ago. Soon I will be home to fricken use it again.

Great interface Jarrod, they are currently doing the update for pro tools 12.3 for $99.00 great update. Get it if you can.
Here's some update info on what's new. It's faster more reliable and some great new features

The first option is best at $199.00 as it gives you new free plugins and the latest eleven rack software with new updated amps cabinets and mics

Dont forget the eleven rack is a fantastic interface for bass players too.

Yeah, I've heard amazing stuff about it!

Time to pick the brains of KB and DrN. Would this be a nice interface to start with? I wont use mics for guitars and bass, but I do have mics for drums and vocals, and with my monitors and the headphones I have I should be fine to get rolling.
