So I was thinking about investing in a few (OK..1) really good Mic Pre / Channel Strip to front end my DAW. Currently I have a MOTU 896HD that is OK, but nothing spectacular. My thought was that since I NEVER record more than 2 channels at once, I want to figure out the simplest and least expensive interface that I can use to get all of the quality out my 1 great preamp into my DAW (Logic Pro)? I'd like a really clean, really simple signal chain something like Mic->Pre->Interface->DAW.
I guess my question is - if I'm working with all standalone preamps, how important is the actual audio interface that I'm using?
And does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to connect my soon-to-be-awesome pre's to my Mac? It doesn't seem like anyone makes an interface geared specifically toward people who have a stable of great pre's that only need to get a group of line level signals into a DAW.
