In that case, I could not recommend more the Tascam UH-7000. You can get one around $300 on ebay and they sound high end. Crazy price:performance ratio. Same AD/DA chips as in the svart box I think, for example.
You could also consider the Audient iD14, which might have slightly better drivers.

We only record midi drum tracks in Superior Drummer. Bass, Sometimes Acoustic Guitar/Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Steel Guitar, piano. It all varies depending on the song. We perform with the backing tracks, so these aren't full songs because we play with the tracks. Some songs are only 5 to 6 tracks, It does sound pretty darn good live though. Sometimes it surprises me on the quality of the instruments live. Another question also, is anyone using Melodyne with any luck. We have some songs that need to be raised a half to a step because they are too low. An Audio Acoustic Guitar track in about 15 songs needs to be fixed. He doesn't want to re-record everything.

Tascam has some really good sounding interfaces. I have heard great things about Audient. Um, Duh...We have a Presonus Live Board, we already have an interface. We just need to agree on the same software, or be able to share the audio and midi files with each other.

Cubase rocks. And works flawlessly cross platform.

Now I'm even confused, but I am actually focusing on another DAW myself and thinking about going Cubase. I just hope we can both decide on the same DAW. I am leaning towards Cubase and Studio One right now on PC. I've used cubase for a while and am still on 6 (upgrading to 8 very soon). I also like Studio One and find it very similar to Cubase. I mixed a couple projects in Studio One, with almost no learning curve, and there were certain things I preferred, but overall it wasn't different enough to justify a switch. I don't think you can go wrong with either...... although I never tried virtual instruments in S1, so that might be a differentiating factor since Cubase is known to be strong in that area. |

How is Cubase on efficiency? Studio One has to be the most efficient DAW I have ever used.

How is Cubase on efficiency? Studio One has to be the most efficient DAW I have ever used. No issues here, but I tend to have fairly well spec'd PC's. I also offload some processing to UAD cards, and use an RME pcie madi interface.... I run enormous sessions with no issues. If I'm overdubbing a project with 50 tracks and dozens of takes on each track and 100+ plugin instances, then I'll go ahead and disable some plugins so I can comfortably run at 128 or lower buffer for tracking, but that's the only time I even think about processing efficiency. It's a non issue for typical mixing/tracking/production. |

By the way, the one thing I really preferred about S1 was efficiency of workflow. With the mixer being docked at the bottom, and the separate automation track view, it really helps to keep the main project window much cleaner than cubase, with less windows to click through and drag around. Although, I believe this may have been somewhat addressed in newer cubase versions?
