I just got my Focusrite OctoPre Mk II it sounds so good. I have it hooked up to a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 with the optical cable. It gives me more inputs (for drums) and great sounds. I love this thin... read more [+]g. I use it with Cakewalk Sonar X2 and it works out great! close [-]

I've owned a few Focusrite pieces over the years, this didn't disappoint. Very transparent, which for the live recordings i do are perfect. I highly suggest this pre.

I can confirm the rumors about this box, the pre's do sound better than a 003's. We did blind tests with reamps so it was the exact same sound source and chain up to the units themselves. Level matche... read more [+]d as best we could. There's something about these pre's that offer a "smooth" character over the 003's "warm" character (which I like to call "mud"). Its worked flawlessly for my studio so far. I originally went with this box for three reasons (over similar boxes), a. meters, b. front phantom power switches, and c. most of the I/O is in the back. The others in this price range didn't have the "whole package" in that respect. But I truly believe this unit is actually an improvement over my actual interface. Which also means I need a better interface, I know... that's next. But do yourselves a favor and get this. Its a solid buy that you wont regret. close [-]
