Hi Guys!
Well, Im planning to get a nice audio inteface for my computer.
Soon Ill be recording my bands new album and this time we wanted to do it by ourselves.My plan is the following:
Recording drums on a nice studio, using its preamps, room and mics.
I would bring my PC + Audio interface as the recording device.
Then recording the rest (guitars, bass and vocals) at home using the PC, interface and some mic preamps. Im planning to purchase a FMR RNP, and I could also use some rented nice preamps and mics.
Of course some decent monitors are on their way. (I was thinking Yamaha NS10)
Im planning to work either on Nuendo or Cubase SX. (still learning both not decided which I like more yet)
Well, THE QUESTION:
I have decided my audio interface will be a RME Fireface, (no need to explain why, I guess), but my doubt is still which one will suit me best, the 800 or the 400.
I know the 800 has more inputs and outputs, and two more mic preamps, but I dont think I need more than 16 tracks of simultaneous recording, and the same for the extra 2 mic pres.
So my question is: Am I losing something else with the FF400 besides the extra input-output-mic pres of the FF800?. Do they have the same quality per-channel in the signal path? (I mean: converters, mic pres etc.).
If the difference is only a matter of quantity and not quality, I guess Ill be going for the 400 (and save some precious cash that could be used on mics, for example).
Would you enlighten me?
Thanks
Igor
