Heynow! I find myself shopping for both a recording interface and a two channel mixer at the same time. I've looked for answers elsewhere but none of them match up exactly & this forum has always had my back
The only thing I'd use a mixer for is for music playback from laptops & phones into a driverack - amp - OT8/T39 setup. DJ mixers have way more features than I need & I'm thinking I can use the interface for both projects. So at the moment I'm looking at either the SSL2 or the UA Volt 2. A 3.5mm output will apparently put out more voltage than mic level signals & each of the two combination input channels would have a gain adjustment to match outputs on the fly...to me it'd be the same as plugging in a phone to listen through powered monitors like I always do, with the ability to switch between two similar sources. Cha think, can I save a hundred bucks?
Tx!

I do love the form of the SSL2, with everything on top.

Nevermind.....I found 'em.
Either one should be fine. Just be sure that you use TRS/TRS or TRS/XLR for connecting to the Driverack.

Re: Audio interface as a simple dj mixer?
Is this the question? When I look them up, they seem to be comparably priced.
What do you intend to record?

I think he means saving a hundred by using one of these two vs. a DJ controller...

Ah, yeah... I see it now. Your level of comprehension has been off the charts lately. Send me some of whatever vitamin and supplement regimen you've been following.Bruce Weldy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 8:12 amI think he means saving a hundred by using one of these two vs. a DJ controller...

Ha....no, I thought the same thing you did when I looked up the two devices.....Seth wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 10:07 amAh, yeah... I see it now.

No vitamin will do it, just many decades of deciphering what people mean, not necessarily what they say.
