I'm keeping the io26 coz I like it, it works and has plenty of input and output options. For example, I used all 8 mic inputs to record a four piece band (me on vocals and guitar). However, for my own solo stuff, I'll just be recording through the Audient (albeit via the io26's SPDIF in and firewire out). And guys, if you read the original post, I said I'm happy with my room acoustics and my mic and monitors are semi-pro standard (mic and monitors both cost around a grand a piece in your USD). Which is where I came in, asking if it is worth spending the money on a fairly high quality mic pre. "Your resulting signal is only as good as its weakest link" we all know is true, I felt the mic pres on the Alesis were a weak link. I'll come back soon and let you know/hear how I'm getting on. But a sincere thanks to all of you for your input - AGF is the only forum worth hanging around in. Gary

I finally got to the point where my weakest links in my signal chain are................my instrument and me! As far as your Audient interface, have you tested it out yet?

Good luck with the Audient. I've heard some good things about them, although I've never tried any of their products. |

My goal has always been to be the weakest link, so I have no excuses but to practice. That's where the biggest gains lie, regardless of your gear.

Actually, I have done a little recording, but not using my studio mics or acoustic guitar, so no good posting that. I'm going to be doing some recording next week - if my singer bothers to turn up for rehearsal! Will hopefully give y'all some feedback then. I too am definitely the weakest link, but getting better. The girl who sings with me occasionally is pretty good though! Hides my failings as a guitarist!
