I've used an M-Audio 1010LT forever but the card isn't built for my (non-ancient) computer's expansion slots. What sorts of solutions are available for someone nowadays in need of, say, 10 simultaneous inputs? I like using lots of microphones  I have a mixing board with crappy pres so I don't need something with preamps but if a recommended solution had them that would be fine

Definitely not, but at least... 6 or so? iostream.h posted:I'm loving LOVING my MOTU 828MkII, to the point I'm probably going to snag a couple more and replace some of my other interfaces with them. I'm sure there was some discussion in the older thread, but would you care to amplify what you liked about them?

So I'm thinking a used 8Pre (for drums, ) and something like a GAP Pre73 (guitars, vox, ribbon mics, &c). I'm assuming I can plug the Pre73 into the 8Pre into the computer and not have the 8Pre color the GAP? Is the USB kinda latency-vulnerable? My case has a FW input but I don't think the MB does anywhere, but I suppose I could try out a few TI chipset cards if I get a FW 8Pre...

iostream.h posted:I'm a little confused here, you asked about USB latency and then mentioned Firewire, which are you using? I know the 8Pre comes in both flavors (I have the FW version). I mentioned both because obviously USB would be brainless, whereas FW would have the potential for less latency, but would require finagling a card... the mobo is an ASRock H77 Pro4-M. I'm just super-leery of the whole latency issue because my old (ancient) setup had actual IRQ conflicts that I had to resolve by disabling a few of the USB ports on my computer to give the LT1010 its own virtual port. When I tell this to nerds they roll on the floor laughing because it's such an esoteric problem that problems like this just never crop up anymore except in stuff like multi-track recording; they think I'm spouting AOL-era nonsense at them. Although with the 8Pre I think I can just monitor straight from the unit itself? That would render latency more or less moot since it would be restricted to that contained in the unit itself which is going to be undetectable
