I was experience an insane amount (literally ever 5mins with all no essential tracks frozen) of slow disk errors before the update, but it magically started running perfectly again just after updating. I held out on El Capatian for a long time, but just updated to Mojave a few weeks ago. Maybe its all in my head, but every time a new release comes out, I notice my computer getting slower and slower until I'm forced to take a chance on the update, and hope that the Ol' Tascam will keep chugging along. I also belive that Apple slows down older OS on you computer if you do not up date. I mean I paid $150 for it like 5 yrs ago and it was old then and still going strong - So I'm thinking the interface may be a good spot for me to sink my money, as it would likely last me some time before needing another update.

My issue with not be able to keep my computer relativity up to date is that I'm using various software pretty heavily, and am afraid the US1800 may limit my ability to update and keep up with the latest. I would actually prefer to!Įdit: From further research, I'm assuming I'll need something like the octopre to expand on the XLR inputs of the interface? What would be your recommendation with $1000-$1500 CAD to spend? I'm totally open to going used as well. I really need the 10 XLR's (can count the 2x on my MPA II) to fully cover the drum kit. Non of the new interfaces I'm looking at have any line inputs on the back.ĭoes this mean I'd have to connect my tube preamp into 2x of the 8 XLR/ 1/4in TRS inputs, loosing 2x of my XL channels for my external amp? I used 2x of these on the back to connect my Art MPA II preamp, so this gave me 10 XLR connections with 4 leftover line inputs (2 on the front for instruments, and 2 on the back).

That US-1800 has served me very well, but I think its time upgrade.Īfter one evening of initial research, I'm leaning towards the Personus Quantum 26x32,but something I am noticing is that on the tascam I had 8 xlr input along with along with 4 balanced inputs on the back. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no genius here, and am fully self taught in what I know. I'd like to have at least 16 for tracking live off the floor. I need something big enough to handle at least 8-10 mics for recording live drums.

I'm thinking my first upgrade will be the interface. To be honest, I haven't been at this a long time, and am happy with my current setup - But I'm starting to get nervous that the Tascam interface will soon start holding me back with regards to updates as it's pretty old. Right now, I'm running a mac mini with LPX, using a Tascam US-1800 interface, ART dual tube pre-amp, and Slate plugins. I've been slowly building this over the past couple of years Long story short, I've come into a bit of cash that I want to throw at my home studio for upgrades.
