the inputs for sure, since i have at least 3 stereo and 2 mono signals i always incorporate. I'm torn when it comes to the choice between a mixer and this though. a mixer works standalone independently of your daw and you can easily adjust input volumes. this seems to be a better option for someone who records drums like you named. /Ed

Wow, this comes quite close to my favourite audio interface. I mean, 8 (all front-mounted) MIC inputs/2 x HI-Z, ADAT I/O, S/PDIF I/O, selectable clock source, 2 independent headphone outs, 2 main and 8 line outs and standalone mode to use the preamps without the computer attached. If it is, however, it is given 5-pin MIDI connectivity from the TAC-8's rear, too. Attracted to Smart Gain? But preferably from Software for yet more covenience? Just use the Auto Gain buttons in the mixer software for whichever of the eight inputs you want. And while you have the software open, add a little reverb from the onboard DSP when the lead singer complains about their dry monitor mix. There's one tradeoff, though: This interface is Thundernolt, but it only runs on intel-based Macs. No Sillycon (no offense; I like my MBA M1 a lot) or Windows support. Now did you figure out what I was babbling about? The one and only ZOOM TAC-8, mates! It has been discontinued way tooo early, but still runs with my Big Sur i7 MBP. No equivalent yet affordable piece of hardware in sight except maybe (if looking backward) the Presonus Studio 192 (do you still use it, Mike?) which I'm still looking for among the pre-loved gear, The TAC-8's RRP was around 600 € in 2015. I grabbed mine new for only 300 in a 2020 sale.

Well, it is about time! An _affordable_ audio interface that can be expanded to 24 channels. I got so fed up trying to find such a unicorn that I just bit the bullet and bought a Presonus StudioLive 32R which is basically a 32x32 (64x64 expandable) rack mount mixer and _audio interface_. I was not looking to buy a mixer. I really just wanted an audio interface that could do 24 or more channels, and the only units doing that with ADAT were insanely expensive - because such a config is always viewed as high end professional gear. Meaning, the cost of an 8x8 audio interface that allows for dual 8x8 ADAT expansions and the cost of those ADAT expansions (totaling 24+ channels) cost more than the Presonus 32R I bought! The reason is they come with all kinds of high end features. But I just wanted to hook up a crap load of synths and other gear without all the premium price. Those 24+ channel ADAT setups and a Presonus 32R are all considered to be high end professional gear, so I still had to spend a mint (and the price went up recently due to supply chain and inflation). But the 32R isn't just an audio interface. It is a rack mount mixer capable of 64x64 channels, expandable using AVB audio over ethernet (not ADAT). So I could put another 4, 16, 24, or 32 channel mixer in another room and connect them together over an Ethernet cord, or I do that with several AVB compatible devices. Much more convenient than ADAT because ADAT is 1 to 1, point to point, but AVB is just Gigabit Ethernet. Anyway, my point is, a $500 dual ADAT expandable audio interface is fantastic. Thank you Audient! If this had been available sooner, I probably would have bought it. For those that want more, though, don't be afraid to consider the several different audio interface compatible mixer consoles or rack mount boxes which use AVB for expansion instead of ADAT. The cost per input is often cheaper using such a device than most similar configurations using ADAT - well, except that Audient has maybe changed that with the Evo 16.

And so it continues with the Evo 16! I for one love my Evo 8 and am just a home singer so I surely don't need the 16. But professionals surely do. I guess a USB interface absolutely won't give adequate power to the 16 as compared to the 8 so that is understandable, but it is the same reason I won't bother to move up to a 16. I love sitting at my dining table, with my battery powered laptop which powers the Evo 8 and sing/record. Thanks, Mike!

Behringer UMC 1820 is another great value 8 in 8 out, also with x2 headphones and the adat/spdif. However it also has MIDI which is great for old midi gear if you don't use a USB controller.

Using the DAW's stereo sum is awful IMO.
