The 18i8 has 4 great mic pre-amps with 56dB of gain.
Inputs 1&2 can be Mic, Line, or Instrument level, Inputs 3&4 can be Mic or Line level.
There are 4 Line inputs on the rear.
4 Line outputs – and this is where you would connect your studio monitors or route audio to external processors. You could connect two sets of studio monitors and output sound to both pairs at the same time, or use the Speaker Switching function (ALT) to switch between two pairs of speakers.
With Loopback you can easily route computer audio into your DAW, such as audio from a video playing in your browser, or use Loopback to live-stream with your DAW.
That means you can easily live stream to YouTube, Facebook, Zoom, etc… Or even record a DAW or plugin review video.
