Yup,
another guy,
trying to make his mind up,
wich one of these to buy.

M-Audio Octane
Digimax lt
RME octamic
Mackie ONYX 800r

My situation is this: I live in a remote place, called the Faroe Islands and I don't have the opportunity to listen to these different pre's. What I'm looking for, is something with some sort of direct out, as I'm planning to be able to record conserts and would like to be able to give the front of house a direct feed of the soundsource if their console doesn't have direct out. Also be able to route some of the sound (like drums) directly to the headphone mix to take a load of my computer.
Any of those mentioned will do that and they cost more or less the same and from what I can read, they all have ok-decent preamps. So, I'm planning to buy the one, that is the least hated
Any of you had any BAD experience with any of these or experinced any short commings?


If I had the money, I would just go ahead and buy the Digimax 96, but you know...

I thank you in advance. You guys have already helped alot.
I have read many of your posts in other threads but still I get the impression that they are all the same, more or less.
