Hi guys,
Looking to get an audio interface for my Kemper, it will be used for recording/jamming/reamping and I've narrowed it down to these two:
http://www.reddogmusic.co.uk/c…5/roland-ua55-quadcapture
http://www.reddogmusic.co.uk/c…41/focusrite-scarlett-8i6
These two are in my local store and they appear to provide everything I need, however I've heard plenty of horror stories about Focusrite drivers... Can anyone chip in on any of these units? A good SPDIF input/output is a must, as I will be reamping a lot of tracks and would need them to be of a semi-decent quality.
Choosing audio interface: Roland Quad Capture/Focusrite Scarlett 8i6

All right, got my Roland Quad Capture; just need SPDIF cables, would these be appropriate?
-
they should be fine. incidentally i have a quad capture and it works fine for recording the kemper in stereo over spdif, but the lack of a mixer on the quad capture makes it a pain to record a mono amp and di of the guitar as there is no way to pan or mute what you monitor so you have a di hard left, and an amp hard right. i end up turning the left speaker off while tracking. not a major hassle really.
-
ok a quick search has revealed that turning on 'asio direct monitoring' on the quad capture lets your daw control the hardware monitoring and sorts the problem out. i guess my life just got easier!
-
Does quad capture support zero latency monitoring for SPDIF?
-
Honestly, for me my Quad capture has zero latency through SPDIF and direct monitoring.
This soundcard is a keeper for me. Very transparent to me also (I A/B the headphone out of the Kemper and the Heapdhone out of the Quad Capture).
