usb1=12 mbps

data transfer with 2.0 is faster.

So looks like the original Multimix 8 you posted is USB 1 and 16bit recording, does that make a big difference? And then there is a multimix 8 USB 2.0 at 24 bit. I'm no pro however I do want to get the best sound and transfer rate with as low latency as possible.


Yeah avoid USB 1.1 on an audio interface. The low transfer speeds limit track counts and definitely affect how low latency the operation will be.

Word! Guess I need to get the USB 2.0 now, wtf do they even have USB 1.1 anymore?! Time to return another one!

Anyways, thanks for the help guys. I got the mixer all hooked up everything's working together except I cant get the MPC to loop my Keyboard sounds along with the drum loop? I have a midi track set up, 1A, and everything? Every time I hit record on the MPC and play the keyboard, it stops recording?

I tried looking all this stuff up so once again sorry for the noobness.

That sounds very odd and it shouldn't do that.



Whenever I hit record on my 4k and record my triton midi performance it loops around with the mpc while playing, just like normal. I don't know why yours doesn't do that. I don't have a venom so that's as far as I can go with advice I think.
