Episode show notes:
Do you need more inputs or outputs but don't want to buy a new interface?

Let us help you expand your current setup and save money! :)

You might have heard about ADAT or SPDIF and maybe you've seen those ins and outs on your interface - here's why they exist and how to use them

Many of us have started with a small interface that only has a few inputs and outputs. But what do we do if want to track live drums or give everyone in the band their own headphone mix?

Time to get a bigger interface? Not necessarily. There might be a better and more affordable alternative.

On this episode we show you how to add more ins and outs to your existing setup

This is what we cover on the show:

• What ADAT and SPDIF are and how they work
• How to know if your interface can be expanded and what it can actually handle
• Which gear to get to expand your current interface
• The benefits outside of just adding more channels (different preamps, additional sonic flavours, more advanced features, etc.)
• How to set it all up
• Common pitfalls and what to watch out for
  

Let's go!
