Audio Interface For Recording 3 Amps Simultaneously?

Post by DarthTangYang »

I want to be able to record my Wet/Dry/Wet rig (3 amps) through an audio interface to my PC using 2 microphones on each speaker cab. So I'll need an interface that can handle 6 microphones simultaneously. Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good audio interface suitable for the job?

these are supposed to be really solid and easy to use units, has 8 mic pre amps so more than what you'll need

Every decent small mixer with USB should be able to to the job. Depends a little bit on your expecatations regarding "really good"

I am using a Mackie pro-fx 12 for recording and if I would need better mic preamps I would consider an Onyx console or something like the Allen & Heath ZED 14
