New interface suggestions (12+ inputs?)

[DiveRightIn63]

I think I'm gonna sell off my M-Audio Profire 2626 and my M-Audio Octane and get an interface with 12 or more inputs. Any suggestions?

I'm interested in the Mackie Onyx 1200F but not sure if I'll be able to get a hold of one.

searching for a mackie 1200F?

with those options available, any suggestions on a 4-channel ADAT preamp?

any suggestions on a 4-channel AD...A 428. Very nice preamps and the AD is great.

RME Fireface UFX. It has 4 built in preamps and 8 free analog line-ins.. so you can get any of the multiple eight-channel preamps out there, starting with the Focusrite Octopre mkII over RME Octamic II and Audient ASP008 up to Focusrite ISA 828, or a 428 in combination with an API 3124+, etc. Plus you can always hook up two 8 channel ADAT preamps if you need to.
Did I mention the zero-latency DSP based mixing / routing matrix with built-in FX for monitoring or tracking?

Your Profire has 26 inputs available, why not keep hold of that, sell the Octane and just use the extra cash to get better preamps?

Please specify how many preamps and how many line inputs do you need...

And what's your budget?

Another vote for the UFX. It's a great box.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. My Profire is having issues with my FireWire card again, and I'm sick of dealing with it. Plus, I'd like to make an upgrade anyways. I just need 12 inputs. 16 is overkill for me.

I'll look into those, thanks everyone. Keep'm coming!

I'd like to stay under $1500 for the interface and any ADAT preamps though, so that fireface is pretty out of range for me.

You missed the most important question - how many PREAMPS do you need among those 12 inputs?! ...or do you use external preamps so you're going to use line inputs on your interface...?

Whoops, sorry. I was looking for 8 or so preamps.

I ended up going with the Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 cause I got 25% off with the Cyber Monday deal.

I just picked up a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 last week. I can't tell you how happy I am with it.
