Multichannel Audio Interfaces under Windows for Theater Productions: Which One?
-
Mark just a correction. I have the Roland Rubix 24. It is nothing special, but very much competing with the Scarlett 2i4.
My Roland also has 2 inputs and 4 outputs. I got it over the Scarlett because the outputs are all matching 1/4 inch (less adapters) and for recording it has a built in hardware compressor ( I am getting great sound recording for tutorials :)
Again, its in the same ball park as the Scarlett 2i4.. price was exactly the same when I was looking at them.
I have had no trouble setting up Quadraphonic output from Isadora.. it works well, and I have played with Quadraphonic mixing via linking my Daw with Isadora and OSC. -
My RME Fireface is rock solid, have it now 11 years. A friend of mine has a RME Hammerfall even older, still working. Looking at a higher cost its very good priced when calculating over such a long period of time.

I have a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 (Mk 1 version) which is at the budget end of things, but its four outputs have worked just fine with Isadora 2.x on a Mac.
It's just a plug-n-play USB audio interface, equivalent to Ryan's Roland Rubix 24 or the Scarlett 2i4, and in the same price range. Designed and engineered in Germany :-)
