<div dir="auto">The Presonus Quantum 4848 is great but Thunderbolt is a difficulty for lots of systems and the cost of the DB25 patchbays or cables adds a substantial amount to to cost.<br>

<div>Hey guys,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the advice. It's pretty much as I expected: individual outs on synths are nice but unused; on a drum module, they make sense.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Which means that I'm looking at a minimum of 24 analogue ins. There are some options:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>MOTU 24Ai (USB2 + AVB; needs snakes)</li><li>MOTU 16A + 828es (USB2 + TB3 + AVB)</li><li>Presonus Quantum 4848 (TB2 so I need a converter; needs snakes; no networking)</li><li>Considerably more expensive options<br>
</li></ul>
<div>Compact ADAT A/D converters with rear panel inputs cost about the same as a MOTU unit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All of these would cost an amount of money that I cannot justify for the rest of the year, so I'm not going to. As for the networking, there is the choice of either spending a lot on Dante, or a lot on AVB switches (and it looks to be a bit like the Betamax
of audio networking), or just forget about the whole thing, which seems the most prudent solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's pretty obvious that studios have moved largely from racks to software. My particular use case isn't a popular one.<br>
