Anyone know about the mixer for this unit?

Also saw a demo on Youtube at 80db mic gain and I couldn't hear any
noise.Â* Anyone use one of these yet?

Bonus question:Â* Why would I pay $100 extra for the USB-C model?
I mean the protocol is the same, right?Â* Just the plug is different?


Thanks!



Don't know what the bundled software is like, but presumably works
similarly to most other DAWs. Maybe there is a downloadable trial version.

Note that the 'Artist' version of Studio One supplied with the bundle
does NOT allow use of 3rd party VST plugins, which is a major crippling.
I guess they offer an upgrade path to the Pro version.

Also "mixer" - why would you want a mixer, 'cos you are unlikely to want
to do anything outside of the software application ? The 1810 has all
the inputs and outputs you need.

From what I could see USB-C applies to a different (smaller and more
portable) model, and yes, really only means the different USB socket.
