    Hi Julian have you tested the PreSonus 1810c ?...i have bought one, seems fine but i do not know if it is a good 4 mic or 2 mic & 2 instrument interface with a theoretical 18 inputs & 10 outputs, 2 headphone inpits with own volume pots, is it alright to use Quad cable from interface to active monitors, PreSonus Eris8 XT's with class A/B analogue internal amps...any advice or knowledge you could tell me about the 1810c would be appreciated....thank you...

    Spent over 10 years with Focusrite technical support and their engineers. Couldn't make their interfaces stable - random system freezes (Kernel debug dump always showed death inside Focusrite driver). Switched to MOTU, and all my Audio Workstations have been 100% rock-solid 24/7 for a year now.

    It does provide better audio for recording. Have been disappointed with mine. Had to buy it because my 8i6 died. Don't like that they took away the power switch. For me, the audio output clips at much lower volumes so I've had to reduce levels and crank the monitors to get the volume back. Ended up having to buy higher watt monitors.

    I feel like the most useful place for 32bit float is in recorders and run and gun situations. One man crews for instance. Where you might not always have the ability to control levels in real time and have to set-and-forget. Or in situations where there's big differences in levels (think of meeting or whatever with speakers at all sorts of different levels) where you want to normalize the levels.
