Audio interfaces for the future

[Mikael Hansson]

I’ve been checking out the Quantums but they don’t make the cut because they don’t have an internal mixer, i.e you have to route audio through your DAW. I don’t want to have to start Cubase just to play one of the synthesizers.

If I go with an interface with AVB, I will probably get a Presonus Studiolive 24/32R as expansion.
