Mobile recording

SoulDesign · Dec 22nd 2014

Hi. I have a Safire pro 40 for recording at home, but I'm wanting something way smaller, more mobile for on the go.

i see there's quite a few options, but I'm confused/torn about using spdif or just analog outs.

Would i be better served with just a simple spdif to usb converter like the behringer u-control,

or should I forget the SPDIF and get like a focusrite 2i2??

I use Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 for my small on the go rig for guitar and vocal recording.
Super happy with this unit. It has two headphone outputs and all the inputs and outputs you need

I use the 6i6 with one S/PDIF cable from Kemper out to 616 in, monitoring through phones plugged into the Kemper. It's great. S/PDIF is way more convenient:

-1 small-profile cable instead of two clunkers
-No worrying about input volume to avoid clipping
-The sound IMO is better than XLR. Maybe with professional equipment that's not true, but with a smaller unit I think it is.
