Re: Recording Interface for Mac OS X Yosemite
Obsolescence is certainly an issue with anything digital or computer-based. No doubt... you can see this in the way iPad connectivity has changed so quickly, and how firewire (once the fastest and greatest) is not even present on recent Macs. That said, I got quite a few years very productive use from my Apogee Ensemble, and when I sold it not long back, I managed to get enough for it to switch it for a brand new Apollo Twin, which should see me OK for the foreseeable future... so that was not too bad. I am hanging onto my favourite analog hardware (UA 6176, 4-710d, LA-610 Mk.II and a few other bits and pieces), but I did have a big Ebay clear-out and moved some of it on, as in terms of results, I could certainly manage perfectly well with just the Twin....the quality is certainly there.
For a lower-medium priced interface, the Focusrite Scarlett's are really excellent. Super preamps and very good converters. Can recommend highly.
