focusrite octopre
I have 2 questions first one is, whats a fair price for this focusrite octopre?
Second question, I am upgrading to digi 002 rack and instead of using my blackface ADAT for an additional 8 inputs I was wondering if this octopre would do the same thing?? and would I hook this up the same as I would with my ADAT setup Via lite pipe to my old digi 001 PCI card? thanks Emanuele |

Good price - http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/OctoPre/.
The Octopre can output both ADAT (lightpipe) and S/PDIF if it has the I/O card installed. -WC |

Re: focusrite octopre
the Octopre LE is able to output ADAT, but you need the "optional" A/D converter expansion card, otherwise, you'll be stuck using the analog outputs...
the Octopre, however comes with the A/D converter and can output ADAT... these would be of interest to you, as well. they will all do what you need with varying degrees of quality & price.

Re: focusrite octopre
I have the original Focusrite Octopre with the compression/limiting and the added on ADAT card that allows 8 additional inputs into Pro Tools through lightpipe. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.

Re: focusrite octopre
Hi all!
Sarry to hack this thread! I´ve recently been thinking of getting an octopre. Are you happy with the pre´s? I have an M-Audio Octane and I´m happy with it but I could with another 8 pre´s and a different color or maybe should I get a presonus unit? On the Octopre Le I dont like the fantom on all at the same time! And without pad or limiter on each channel it might be a little difficult to track drums esp. snare and overheads! The octane has pads on all channels! It is realy a feature packed box! |
