Been on the fence about this interface for the past few months! Seen plenty of reviews, but yours was the only one I value. And I ve been waiting the past few weeks for your input. You’re a str8 shooter and tell it how it is! Great review and thank you! Mind is finally made up!

Good review Barry. This one might fit my home studio perfectly. I use a Panasonic RAMSA DA-7 console with typically 14-16 channels (currently) of vintage mic preamps, analog synth modules, instrument preamps, FX units).

I currently have the Audiofuse Studio (8in/6out) that I have been generally very happy with I have a linux-based setup and dont like to rely on software controlled interfaces since changing OS is cumbersome. My upgrade path was going to be the cranborne audio 500 ADAT to extend the I/O by 8/8 plus some 500 series slots, but once this got on my radar I am thinking of setting the audiofuse as the extension/monitor controller with the 16Rig becoming the new brain of the operation. I generally only record myself, but I like being able to have everything plugged in so I can get up and running as fast as possible. Thanks for the great review as always, Barry! My wallet has you to blame 😂

Thanks for the review! I’ve been so close to buying this interface over the past couple weeks. The Motu 828 (2024) seems to be edging it out with very similar features but with spdif and lower latency.

Yes to SPDIF/AES. The 16RIG would be a no-brainer for me already if it had SPDIF, even if it cost a bit more. Instead I’m deep diving on interfaces to figure out other options. The SPDIF/AES omission seems weird too because this device seems to lean into an all-in-one solution. So then why skip a key digital i/o? Weird.

I’m getting no sound out of my monitors. It’s recognizing the inputs signals of my keyboards and synths, but I’m just getting no sound. I tried playing a KZbin video and the sound is coming out of my monitors. Just no sound from all my gear. Any idea on the fix? Or what I’m missing.

Thanks for tho info Barry! I appreciate you! To me I think these companies don’t think about professional studios and comercial workflow! Besides spidif I would like to see one version of this interface with db-25 connectors, and to me this Adat is BS, because that means I need another interface like 1k. No thanks! I’m honestly waiting for UA to put out their new version of the Apollo, with better conversion, higher dinâmic range etc. I need 32 I/Os with physical connection

Hey Barry, would you take this over a Pulse 16 ? am asking as for the same price point, same number of Line inputs, more flexibility and features, same converters quality from what you said ? I'm just wondering, why one will get a Pulse 16 over this ? In my context, I have the Pulse 16 and the routing is super limited as you know, so a pacth bay is necessary. But this interface could be a perfect patch bay + Pulse 16 replacement ? am I missing something ?

My only hesitation with buying an Arturia interface is they don’t have a long history of making interfaces so it’s hard to predict how long they would support them. Same with the newer Neumann MT48. Only time will tell! I’m leaning towards MOTU

Only thing I’ll say about the MOTU is that it overdue for a refresh.

MOTU has a history of bad drivers. Owned a 828mk3 and a midi express. Found it time consuming to be troubleshooting all the time. Never had any problems when i switched to RME.
