Hi Guys!
im facing a GAS dilema and i would much apreciate if you can chime in.
Im happily using (no problems at all) a focusrite saffire pro 24 dsp at my project studio.
Fortunately a lot of gigs are showing so im thinking to step up my game a little.
I found a really good deal on a RME fireface 800 wich everybody seems to love.
I wanted to know about the real diference in audio quality (ad/da wise, since im not worried about the pres)
i will be in the short term getting some outbard (1176 and pultec clones) so im guessing from what i read that i would benefit from the converters on the fireface.
Is there really a big diference? or should i save for an even better one or buy some more pres/outboard?
Note: in my current studio i do mostly mixing, vocals and guitar/bass tracking. For drums i rent a place with mytek converters and plenty of tasty outboard.
Thanks!
