How many channels do you need on the USB/audio interface? I presume at least 3?
MacOS, I presume?
Would you still need a separate mic pre if one was built in?
I like Steinberg UR series, looks like they introduced Rupert Neve transformers (!) since I last shopped for them. URRT2 is 4x2 w/ 2 Neve transformers. There’s also UR242.
I can also ask my friend, he’ll know everything except driverless installation (he’s a windows guy). I don’t either.
It’s he who told me to stay away from Blue, as he’d never seen one in a real studio.
