djqwikcut Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 What does everyone recommend for an audio interface for a imac running OSX 10.8? I was looking at the presonus 16.0.2 since it can be used as a mixer and multi-channel audio interface. Is there anything like this that is less expensive? I would like 16 channels if possible. This is for a small digital recording studio I am building.... Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 You don't need a mixer if you're going to use Logic: Logic already has a built-in digital mixer. Depending on the type of i/o y ou need, you could consider the MOTU Track 16 with a Behringer AD8000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djqwikcut Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I would like a mixer for 2 reasons... One is that when not using logic, I can still mix sources and the second is tHat I like having a tusk sliders in the studio for the real feel....

djqwikcut Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Explain why I ne4d the behringer with the motu? I really need something I can use as a sound card, analog mixer etc so that when not using logic I can still adjust levels etc... I used to have a Alexis multimix FireWire but the FireWire ports stopped working .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Then I don't think you can find a less expensive choice out there... sounds like you found your pick! The Behringer gives you 8 more mic preamps and connect to the ADAT input of the MOTU. It all depends on the type of inputs you need (mic, instrument, line...).

djqwikcut Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the info.. I guess there is nothing else like the Presonus 16.0.2 that is less expensive. I was looking at the rack mount presonus that has an IPAD app for mixing but wasnt sure if I wouold like not having real faders (although I am using an IPAD app for a logic control surface and its fine)....
