Interfaces
Here at Studio 12 we understand the importance and delicacy of choosing what interfaces to use in a studio. We took interface connectors, input channel types, input/output counts, DAW compatibility, and form factor all into consideration and combined Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 & Focusrite OctoPre Mk II Dynamic for a perfect setup.
