This guy is so freaking awesome and his review and knowledge are incredible on these products. Appreciate all the hard work!! Thanks for another great review
You have an excellent tutorial !! After watching this video, I don't have any questions whatsoever. I was mainly concerned about adding my external hardware processors to the SP8 while it's connec to to my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 via ADAT. Thank you very much 👍👍👍
Hi. Great video. Question, so I'm looking into getting a few SP8's for use with my Galaxy 64 interface... can I use the 8 anilog outs of the SP8 and go to the anilog in's of the Galaxy?
Hi again Brian. Having watched the EVO16 tutorial which is fantastic. I just finished watching the SP8 tutorial which is perfect as I am using two SP8s with my EVO16. The BNC and ADAT tutorials are brilliant and easy to understand. However I cannot figure out why I am getting a DAW return signal in the EVO app on channels MAC9 and MAC10 which correspond to my Studio One 6 track outputs which are being sent to the first two ADAT outputs 9 and 10 on the first SP8. I don't understand what's happening or how to avoid it. I have set the EVO 16 and both SP8s to the DAW thru mode as all I want to do is send 24 pre recorded audio mono tracks from Studio One 6 directly to 24 Line Inputs on my analogue mixer. I know this is old school stuff with modern interfaces but I just want to play around with mixing on an analogue mixer. Any help would be much appreciated. I do get the DAW returns signal on EVO outputs 1+2 which is fine for my near field monitors but I can't figure out why I'm getting the same DAW returns on MAC/DAW returns 9+10 which are the ADAT inputs 1+2 on the 1st SP8.
I am using focusrite 18i6 and I am happy that I am getting a very loud sound for 80 ohm from the headphone output, can I use my 18i6 as a headphone amp by connecting it to evo 16?
Thanks for the great content! I am wondering if you would share your thoughts about picking up a 2nd hand Avid Eleven Rack device in 2023. Thanks so much
If you want something to use live or without a computer, the 11R can still be useful since they are sooooo cheap now. But if you are going to be recording, there are better amp algorithms now for amp plugins and most computers have no problem running these at near zero latency. Any amp plugin from Plugin Alliance or II II II II from Otto Audio would be my go-to today for recording guitar.
Hi... I wil be using the SP8 with my Apollo Quad Firewire. So whats the propose for me of the USB C on the SP8? Just for updates? And when do i know i need to update if i dont use the software? Thank you
Hi there, could you re-amp (or route to analog gear) from DAW out through adat outputs through SP8 analog outputs? Much appreciated and great informative videos. Cheers!
i purchased the 1d 44 mk 2 ,it was a tough choice between it and the evo 16. i love the unit but started to do what i said i never would and add analog gear to my setup so i have one of these guys arriving in the next couple of days to expand my setup for hybrid mixing. in your opinion do you think this unit will work well for that ??
Yeah. You'll be able to send audio from your DAW to external processors and then run it back in. Or send the audio directly from the preamp to external processors and then run it in to the DAW. The outputs are very flexible.
Friend of my bought first EVO16 and now EVO SP8. Etch4 come connect my stuff please . No problem. Manual not needed. I'm the shit, I'm the best. 1: Put me on UA-cam 2: BenoniStudio - Audient EVO SP8 🎤 The SMART Preamp - EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW 3: Grasshopper everything HE DOES, YOU DO. Thanks Etch4 bla bla bla without you Etch4 bla bla bla. Hahaha.

Evo 16 + 2 SP8 is something I am pondering for life stuff. SO useful

Update the firmware when you get it and you probably never have to update again.
Thanks 👌

Yes
Great
Thanks
Can you use the evo 8 interface with it
Evo 8 does not have ADAT so it won't give you what you want.

Witch one Should I buy First, The Evo-16 or The SP8? If I only need one unit to start...
The Evo 16 since it’s an audio interface. The SP8 is a preamp that you would add to your audio interface.
👍👍👍👍
Bro this a Steller review believe me.
