Wow indeed. That is a lot of IO in 1U. $3,500.
So I'm assuming you get 8 mic pre and 16 line inputs and the first 8 line inputs are used for the 8 mic inputs? I'm interested in folks experiences with Red4Pre over Thunderbolt, esp. vs. an Apogee Ensemble. |

Since it could not be an HDX and Native one for me (I SO wished it would)... I tried the Apogee one out as a dedicated native i/o. It just works and sounds great. The driver has been very solid and I use it almost exclusively in Logic or S1 at 96kHz 32buffer. Preamps are great (though I rarely use them). Feature wise the Focusrite one is killer. If I were a Dante guy it would definitely win. The HDX part is useabe for sure but if that would have been sample accurate - I would have kept it. It is one of the prettiest interfaces i ever had in house

Yes, I was ready to buy a red 4 when I read that thread on gs. Pretty disappointing considering the relationship Avid has had with Focusrite! I will just stick with Avid interfaces now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Re: NEW - Focusrite RED 8 Pre ..., wow
I have the Red 8 Pre- I'm extremely happy with it.
I currently have it configured with a Rosetta 800 and an Audient ASP800. I'm about to upgrade the Rosetta to 2 x REDNET 2's, which will give me 48 channels of IO using Dante + the onboard analog IO. I run it at 96k using Logic and Protools 12- it is absolutely rock solid at 32 samples. |
