Example, and interface that has 8 physical inputs, but only has 2/mono outputs (or 1/stereo) to your DAW. But, I think it would be way more worth it over the long term, if you need the inputs/outputs for multi tracking.ĮDIT: If I wasn't being clear, most inexpensive interfaces have more inputs than they do outputs. Granted, that price is $100 more than your listed budget. If you're looking for multi-input interfaces that are capable of sending more than 2/mono or 1/stereo to your DAW, the 18i20 is an amazing option for the price. It's a great, affordable interface that you can expand upon for years to come. Plenty of inputs (8), the pre's aren't half bad, two independent headphone outs, 8 line outs, lightpipe out and in, 20 assignable digital outputs to your computer etc.

I don't need the knobs and their Control software looks much better than Maestro was. Motu 624 - I just feel like I'm paying for too many things I would never use.Īpogee Element is where I am right now.

I keep telling myself that plug-ins are evil and unnecessary.įocusrite's software driver development team/provider makes me nervous. But UA is smart- they had a Friedman amp sim developed for them that looks/sounds mighty tempting. Your take on the UA Apollo aligns with mine. There is one Sweetwater user review that was also positive. What happens if my browser gets updated and the Motu Web App breaks? I really want native Mac/Windows/IOS/etc apps.There is one Apogee Element review now. But the idea of using a Web App for their control program / mixer has me worried. Motu 624 - Again no reviews that I could find.

But I like the 2 headphone mixes and the free plugin bundles. Output limitations if you don't have ADAT.Īpollo Twin Duo - I really don't want to be sucked into the plugin money pitĬlarett 4pre - Worried about Focusrite's driver stability and spikes. The control program S/W looks dark with tiny fonts on my 4K monitor. Not sure if I can deal with no physical knobs - maybe it is not so important since I use Logic. I like the specs for the Headphone output. This is what I think I know at this point! :-)I am the same boat.Īpogee Element - Waiting on some reviews. The idea here is to reduce the latency/overhead in your DAW. A big part of that is due to both of them being brand new.Ī big part of what you're paying for with the UA Apollo Twin Duo is built-in digital signal processing which allows you to add (software) plug-ins (additional functionality) to run at the device/hardware level. On purely a converter and pre spec level, the Apogee Element 24 and the Moto 624 lead this group. My take is that I'm hoping for five years out of this investment so I'm spending a little more.

As a guitar player, the UA Apollo Twin has some additional appeal = the ability to run high quality amp plug-ins through the UA Apollo Twin Duo DSP's. As a new Logic user, the Apogee Element has some additional appeal to me. Right now, I'm between (in this order) Apogee Element 24 ($595), UA Apollo Twin Duo ($719), Motu 624 ($795) and Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ($499). This is what I think I know at this point! :-)Same here! Will also join this train, I'm more towards Clarett 2pre, some friends reported same and sometimes better latency than the RME cards!
