This is the Expander that I am looking for!! Audient SP8

Tom, Focusrite explained to me the following, "Note that the OctoPre only has ADAT OUT ports on it, so it won't be able to receive any incoming signal from the 18i20. The line outputs of the Scarlett OctoPre are designed to mirror whatever is connected to the front panel respectively. I'd recommend looking into the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic since this will offer more I/O expansion for your setup" The OctoPre was set up correctly, see here> setting up the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre with the Scarlett 18i18

Glen, I got it right with Focusrite, as you can see in the reply statement I received from them, I need the get the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic, This was also noted in a review of the Scarlett OptoPre from SOS Magazine. Quoted: from Sound On Sound Magazine "Ins & Outs? As before, the basic model offers only one-way (analogue-to-digital) conversion. That’s fine if you simply wish to hook up an additional bank of preamps to your interface to, say, record a rock band with a multi-miked kit. However, it does mean you’re unable to use the Scarlett OctoPre to hook up extra outboard to your DAW. To do that, you’d need the Dynamic model, because as well as the obvious addition of the analogue compressor on each channel, this features both A-D and D-A conversion — you can route your DAW outputs to the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamics’s line outputs, as well as route its line inputs back to the DAW." I gotta get a new expander and sell this one.. HELLO REVERB.COM

Cupon removes $3.30 from the price 👍

Glen, I was using a Samson S Patch patchbay and had everything connected and working using my Scarlett 18i20. I then switch a few hardware pieces to my Scarlett Octopre I/O's that were connected via ADAT and I started to receive noises like someone was gargling. However, when I connect my microphones to use the inputs, no problem at all. When I connect hardware to the I/O's then strange noises are heard and my audio is not being sent or received from the OctoPre. Like I said in my opening post, Focusrite explained to me the following, "Note that the OctoPre only has ADAT OUT ports on it, so it won't be able to receive any incoming signal from the 18i20. The line outputs of the Scarlett OctoPre are designed to mirror whatever is connected to the front panel respectively. I'd recommend looking into the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic since this will offer more I/O expansion for your setup" I've been using my 18i20 with a patchbay and hardware for sometime and never had a problem. WIth the OctoPre, I purchased it and set it up to be used as an ADAT expander way before I had the additional hardware to place on it because I got it on sale. But now since I have the additional hardware and can't add anymore connection to my Patchbay, it's time to use the OctoPre or should I say get another expander.

Place the link for it here in the post so we can see ahat your are talkin about. Also, If you vist the REVERB WAREHOUSE, you can find excellent deals on items staight from the manufactuer such as Focusrite and others. Just look to the left of the page for the manufacturers name

Glenn, Do you use the Behringer to connect hardware to your UMC1820? If so, how useful has it been? Do you have a problem with all of the connection being in the front? Thanks for the information

Hey folks, I made a big mistake 😢 I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre to expand my Focusrite 18i20 Audio I/O so I could add additional hardware to my setup when I ran out of space. Well, I began setting it up with my second Warm Audio WA73-EQ and my Warm Audio WA 76 Comp to start, but I was unable to get the Scarlett OctoPre to connect the external Hardware to be used in Cakewalk by Bandlab or Studio One 6+. I contacted Focusrite on the matter and they informed me of the following, "Note that the OctoPre only has ADAT OUT ports on it, so it won't be able to receive any incoming signal from the 18i20. The line outputs of the Scarlett OctoPre are designed to mirror whatever is connected to the front panel respectively. I'd recommend looking into the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic since this will offer more I/O expansion for your setup" What are some of you using to expand your current I/O to accept external hardware via ADAT?

Sonar 6? 🙄 Wow that was a while ago. Why not just download Cakewalk for Bandlab while it's available, cause it won't be for long when they go back to Sonar. CakewalkbyBandLab Read here for ~~> THE ANSWER, I rember that conversation like it was yesterday.

Thanks John, Your tutorials have been excellent since I first started using Sonar!! 👍👍

Excellent Price Larry, Give me a deal on a Solid State Logic Plugin I don't own!! LOL 😜

General Electrice made that plugin, it goes into your outlet. 😁 😆 🤣 😂 😁

It's a nice unit, however, I just purchased another WA73-EQ to give me a stereo pair in my studio.

Not sure if it will be true to a Neve 1073 or even as close as my WA73-EQ preamp, but I want a stereo 1073 style preamp or clone to add to my master bus. As hardware goes, this will do nicely, as long as it turns on LOL 🙃

Please see the post in the Gear Channel ~~> HERE

Sound On Sound Magazine wrote an January 2024 review of the Monoprice 1073 Neve-Style Microphone Preamp Clone. This mic preamp is a 2 channel preamp which is affordable to the budget studio owner (Like Me) !! 😁 SR Studio™ by Monoprice™ See Here ~~> SR Studio 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp - Currently selling from Monoprice for $499.98 See Here ~~> SR Studio 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp - Currently selling from Amazon for $499.98 Other places it's selling for $599.99 All the classic characteristics heard on countless recordings, now possible at your disposal. The SR Studio™ 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp is a vintage‑style microphone, line, and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components, such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors.

The circuit used is similar to the preamp section in the classic 1073 module, with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet, and musical.

Two independent channels Completely discrete component signal path One high‑impedance instrument input for any sound module, electric guitar or bass Up to 80dB gain capable of handling passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources Combination XLR/TRS input jack and separate output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections. Tell me what you think.

Ahhh, I see, I don't own any legacy Native Inrutments products yet.

Strange you guy are having problems with your update. My installation of Native Access installed just fine and then after the update I was able to use it with no problems afterwards.

Can I use this with my PA $25.00 off coupon?

Take a look at this Dave, It's a basic mistake new users make with the Left and Right mono souce selection.
