Should work perfectly! No limitations, just won’t have the linked smart gain

@@adamsteelproducer Well, It's a cool feature but I can live without it... Thanks a lot!

Thanks Warren! Your video was awesome as well, fantastic studio performance

@@adamsteelproducer yours and Kristian’s were both amazing

I don’t think that was Behringer, we weren’t using that for tracking- that was Aviom. But to answer your question yes the ADAT outputs run separately so you could run 16 channels out and mix as you wanted for artists

Not supposed to

Curious about this too. I would not see a reason for it not to work with the ADAT ports on it. But not sure if smart gain would still operate in the same way

Here (in the UK) at this point in time, the SP8 expansion is actually slightly more expensive than the 16 in terms of the best prices I can find by shopping around. And I'd like to add more inputs to my 16, so I'm very interested in this question too. I suspect the key difference is in the SP8 fully integrating as an expansion so that all monitoring comes via the one pair of headphones, and all control is via a single app interface. I'm guessing that with two EVO 16s, you'd have two app interfaces for control. With a 16 and an SP8, you'd have one interface but with more channels. This is my best guess, but do remember it's only a guess before trusting me :)

​@@hoagy_ytfcfrom the comments I've read from Audient they don't recommend using a second sp16 as extra io, they recommend the sp8.

Yes you can! The SP8 analog outputs come directly from the digital sends (if you set them that way)

@@adamsteelproducer Wow, that's great! I can re-amp and outboard all day. I'm buying it. Thank you. 👍

Cool. How much did that cost?

@@RealHomeRecording sure.. a little more when new. But thats not the pointe. Soundwise its all religion and the quality of the hardware is probably a little better with the claretts. I mention it because its stated like its a new thing and just wanted to point to the fact that it DOES exist elsewhere. And has been for some time. Dont get me wrong .. i like the evo8 for the features and sound. Audient isuper good soundwise. And when its been around for 3-4 years and I dont see it crapping out like the Audient 800 and 880 (like they did for me and 3 of my friends) then I might very well buy 1-2 of them!

@@HR2635 thank you for clarifying your point!

No, but why would you? It’s very transparent. Just use the line inputs and don’t worry about it

@@adamsteelproducer You can do this with audiofuse 16 rig to have the same signal out of the interface and the same signal in.

Yes you can, but at what cost for no real world benefit

I own both. And YES. The SP8 is better than the ADA8200. Less noise, more precise gain settings(the gain knobs on the behringer are NOT consistent), and the sound is way more punchy and clear. there being said the behringer is actually still cool for drums, as it is a bit more analog sounding. Mostly because it's not as clean, and not as well build. So for toms for instance it's not bad. But yes: the audient is clearly better in every way and detail. I won't sell my behringer though, cause I won't get much money for it, so I still use it for some things. Like additional rooms mics.

Individual channels

@@adamsteelproducer thanks!

No usb needed for the sp8, that’s very much it’s intended design- and you should be able to clock the Apollo off of the sp8

@@adamsteelproducer thanks Adam

If I’ve been sent a project to mix that’s in 44k, it’s better to stay in the same format than lose detail by resampling. I agree with you if we’re working right from the start of a project, but as a mixer often we have to run with what we’re handed

@@adamsteelproducer sorry for the late reply.. yes. Sure. Agree. Was just wondering as I know you know how to make the best possible recordings, so I suspected something like that :-).. all the best and thanks for the great videos. Simple and understandable!
