Can i get a buying advice from all you cats out there?
Looking for a compact audio interface with 2 preamps,at least 8 analog inputs,DSP system inside with comp,eq,FX and such…Up until now I found RME UCX to be the perfect size and features set…Any other suggestions?
Qu-sb? More inputs and requires a wifi router to connect to iPad (sorry more stuff!) but you can multitrack to usb drive also…
Just a thought, good luck on your quest.
If you can do with the preamps doubling up on the analog ins, the MOTU Ultralite could work.

K-mix ? Extremely compact, 8inputs, FX, comp, it’s also a standalone mixer. Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for, I don’t know. I’m very happy with mine.

Not yet, the Dreadbox case has been tested and disabled, it’s gonna be build inside a real flightcase for live duties.
So the sides are off to make 19” rack ears.
Powerconnector and switch coming into a 19” panel on front with audio connectors.

Nice suggestions there people!
Ok let me give you another hint…
I’d like to fit the interface at the sides or in front of this bag so i guess 828x and Qu SB are kinda bigie:
My MPC Live and Tempest going inside

I have a Clarett Thunderbolt 4-pre that I like a lot. No DSP effects, but the Thunderbolt is fast enough that I can use effects in Ableton in real time. And it’s not too crazy-expensive. Not sure of PC compatibility if that’s an issue for you though.

It’s expensive and I don’t remember off the top of my head the number of outs, but the antelope zen tour is quite compact. Even the zen studio is portable, with a built in handle thing on the side.
For now RME UCX and KMix are the closest to what i need because they’re compact and with their DSP can operate standalone…The Antelope Zen Tour is a wonderful choice but i think it can’t operate at it’s full without a computer and it’s a bit pricey.I’d like to keep it around 750-800€ max.I know the UCX it’s 1000€ but i’m keeping my eyes on a used one…Btw if anyone sells or knows where i can get one at this price drop me a PM
I didn’t see the no computer part, just get one of those digital mixers controlled via iPad in that case!
Sounds really nice but…10 min of use , empty project and first freeze when switching tracks…Only a steady buzzing tone…Had to reboot… Not the best way to start a relationship on our first date !

Thats a shame, you are not the first to report bugs with the first units. I am sure Elektron will sort it longterm, but might cause you some anger in the meantime! Enjoy it though, very jealous! Wish I had one regardless of bugs! 
Yeah no anger here, I just divorced a MPC Live…So I got a bit of training regarding things not always working as expected…

ahaha… I feel you… got tired of waiting for a mpc update that would let me easily automate midi CCs… sold the thing, bought a DT, never looked back.
Does the DT have the option to name CC assignments? So that instead of “CC#72” or whatever, you see Filter Cutoff", for example.
