Unfortunately, my Studio 1824c interface has just died (the computer does not detect it and only the red switch light is on, and tech support has no more solutions other than a physical visit to the repair center). I am currently in the process of developing an alternative and/or backup solution. Within 1,200€.
And this is where two interfaces caught my attention - the Quantum HD8 and the Arturia AudioFuse 16Rig with new firmware.
The hardware differences between the interfaces in basic functions are probably not significant, and the biggest one is probably that the HD8 is 32-bit and the 16Rig is only 24-bit.
On the other hand, I am curious about 3D audio formats. Arturia has solved this topic with new firmware for 16Rig. So the question is whether it can also be solved effectively on the Presonus platform - using Studio One and HD8, possibly adding some additional plug-ins (if necessary), such as dearVR PRO2.
Simply put, how to buy a new interface is with the ability to further expand the studio, for example, to 7.1 or more advanced format. And the needs grow with the studio. Currently I need min. 24 line inputs and mixer functions (I have a FaderPort 8 so there is also a substitute for a controller). Therefore, only interfaces with 2 x ADAT are in the question. Possibly Behringer X32 Rack.
What experience or suggestions do you have on the subject?
