Topic: Expansion for 802 FX/Octamic II

What is the most cost effective way to gain some more I/O for my 802 FX/Octamic II setup? I’m currently looking at second hand Fireface 400’s. I have an analog desk I’d like to incorporate and I’ve run out of outputs on the 802. Obviously I need something that will work with TotalMix. Thanks.

Fireface 802, Octamic II, UAD Quad, Midas Venice 320, Cubase, Windows 10.

Cheapest : An ADA8200 will give you another 8 INs and OUTs

I have one of those which I use with my Babyface pro fs and it is very reasonable

Thanks for the reply. Do you see this device in TotalMix? Or have you configured this another way? Cheers

Sure, as ADAT 1-8.

Thanks very much for your reply. I had guessed this behaviour,  from ADAT-only devices. I will look for something similar. In the meantime I have purchased a Saffire Pro 24, as a stop gap. I want to record a mix, played through a console. Like a 2 track

Do not understand, more details please.
Whats connected where?
Saffire in standalone mode connected through ADAT or what do you mean?
