Re: For you software folks....what interface?

[Christopher Darrow <thedarrow@gmail.com>]

I use the Fireface 800 with a Digimax LT for extra/higher quality mic 
preamps.

I find the Fireface 800 generally dependable and a great balance of 
quality and price / # of inputs.

I've had no problems using ever last one of the inputs simultaneously.

The software mixer could be better, but it's okay.
