I'm starting to lean into Option B because this would greatly increase my input options at a similar cost to Option A. I would love to just hear opinions that can help guide me down the path this is both cost effective and minimal. Looking at my options out there, this seems like a much bigger infrastructure hassle than I really need. The goal is to be able to track drums at any point without having to move cables around. Has anyone tried this? What are your results? However, I don't know how well Cubase would manage receiving individual tracks from those units along side my UR824 acting as my interface that will also be tracking audio. There are a few Mackie boards that offer USB multi-tracking that I could expand out to 16 channels which would give me more headroom, especially if I add more gear to my studio in the future. Option B: Analog Mixer with USB multi-tracking I know Behringer offers a really cheap ($219) solution but I honestly don't want to buy Behringer if I can't help it. Personally, I'm torn between the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre or the Audient ASP800 (prices are dramatically different from each other). There are a few 8 channel pre-amps with ADAT out that I could daisy chain to my UR824 and expand it's inputs but cost wise, this is steep.

However, I'm bringing a drumkit into my studio that I want to have setup with a minimum of 7 channels that I can individually record into my DAW + 3 additional synths running stereo and a single mono synth. Up until now, I've never needed more than the 8 XLR/TRS inputs this interface offers.

I am running a Custom Windows PC with the Steinberg UR824 Interface. I've been using a fairly modest setup for many years now.
