Just remembered I forgot to say....
I didn't buy the RME Fireface 400 because I already had the RME
Multiface. I was actually first looking at the Motu Ultra Light but
when I interviewed a number of qualified studio engineers I realized
that the Motu would not sound as good as I was used to by the
Multiface. And the FF 400 wipes the floor with the Indigo and the
Audiofire2 I had been using for laptop shows. Can't go wrong with the
RME.
