The Best Audio Interface in 2024? Hybrid Recording Set Up | Cranborne 500R8 

Dude you kinda blew my mind when you started playing the drums. You’re a ridiculously good player! That one drop and the precision on the fills was top tier!

Congrats on the nice new gear, enjoy.

Cool video @Third Island Productions! Thanks for your sharing your insights and it sounds great!

I can hear the vibe :-) Great setup!

I got blown away once I heard you play drums! The sound and the talent/skill! Awesome stuff man!

Love the drum playing. Great vibe!

Great drum mix. That was so clean.. woaah

Great video! Sounds amazing!

Nice drumming bro .. respect ✊🏽

Got mine. This thing is a beast!!

Nice one man, great new set-up! Thanks! I've smashed all the smashers! Salutations from astonishingly wet, windy & weirdly normal Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️

Can’t wait to hear what u create with this

I am a new subscriber… this sounded great! Thank you🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thank you for the review. I’m also considering the Cranborne. I dig the reggae beat Mon!

Sounds awesome! 💪🏾

Dope setup!

Could you do more summing mixing demo's with the cranborne? that'd be much appreciated! Great video!

sounds really good

The Cranborne is amazing

So good

Pretty amazing product for a hi quality bedroom studio

Thank you.

Loved this. Have been looking at this and really appreciate your short succinct take on it. Did not know about the chaining feature. Nice!. i am right behind you wanting to upgrade my outboard and currently using a Tascam Celesonic with MAudio ProFire ADAT Attached. In theory this would give me 24+ input channels if all talked well with each other. The Tascam and MAudio work quite well currently. Also looking at the SSL Six, but will probably add a pair of Neve flavored pre's as well - If I go this route but it seems hard not too for a project studio to get a big console sould and the summing capability is a great plus! I am wondering though I won't want a digital patch-bay to pair with my rig at some point though... Also, what HI-hats are you using? Sounded good.

Sick little rig!

Hey so I got a couple questions lol. Im trying to jump into the 500 series and get pretty much this exact same set up in a way. I was wondering why you got the 2 ssl( i assume to have stereo mastering) and two of the mojo's. Dont they do similar things? I know the mojo has the cream and thump but I was just wondering what your thought process was when buying so I can make sure I'm doing the right thing lol. A little info on what I'll be doing is just mainly recording and mixing but not bands or drum kits. Mainly one person at a time and I'll be producing everything thru my mpc live or FL studio. I wanted to get The 2 SSL six's with the ultraviolet EQ and then maybe the rupert neve 542 Tape emulation but Im a little confused on if thats a good setup and if I'd be missing anything(like how you got the G compressor also which I also was torn on if I needed to get). Hope thats not a lot to lay on you lol

Hi , i want to buy one , but 500 or 500r8...i ever have an rme ucx..but its only one in adat...so if i want to have the 8 channel , i have to down on 48khz ( 96 impossible )..so m'y question is : is this the same with the 500r8 ? Or 500 r8 can take 8 channel in 96 by usb ? Thanks

This is really cool. I love how flexible the setup can be. You may have mentioned this. but can you chain multiple chasis together? Killer drums!

Hey did you ever do that Stem Bus compressor video? Looked for it on your channel but didn't find it

dry drums sound so tasty

hi! nNice video:-) i wonder if u could help me out, since u got a simular set as me, i as u have R8 as my main interface, recently ive added a ferrofish pulse Adat to increase the possibility for extra IO, the plan is to hook up some 19 inch comp/EQ using the ferrofish pulse adat,back to R8, but im using reaper as my DAW, i can se signal, but i cant hear anything using channel 1 and 2, do u need to set up a different monitor output for this setup in reaper maybe?, im slightlly confused, here.....how would u set this up?,using the R8 with ferrofish pulse in reaper?

You could also get the other cranborne unit that is adat.. and have another 8 500 series that would be helpful for mixdown...great video!

Great video! I’m digging the drum sounds you’re getting. Can you demo the summing mixer? I’m really curious about its capabilities.

I have the Lyra 1, about to get the 500ADAT fuh dat hybrid 💙 machine🥶

Very nice sound, you play very well! I love reggae too, i'm working in some riddims but my drums are programmed in Midi. Do you record some drums for others? One love from Argentina

I wish they would come out with 500 series chassis with the adat I/O without the other bells and whistles. Cranbourne changed the game with the adat compatibility. Wish other brands would hope aboard because that's the best for expansion to modern day interfaces.

Hi, when you explain the chain function, is was a mono example. Can you chain stereo modules o stereo chain like for mix buss processing, and how you set the switch’s or you need to use cables in the back, as sound from 1 is going to 3 and from 2 to 4.- ?’’’’, thanks

Fun! But I gotta wonder if the 500 series hardware sounds any different than the UAD plugin versions of the same?

What sound better to you? Genelec 8010 or kali in-8 v2? and if was 8020d? Thank you.

So when you run the ssl compressor that takes up two slots can you send and receive two audio sources to the ssl compressor

Man. I love your setup! But may you please do a demo of a whole track. That way we can hear the debt and color of what this bring out? It seems most times people demo analog gear they only do drums alone😒

Hi awesome video! Do you need an ad/da converter to send the signals from Cranborne into audio interface?

🏆tuff!

Saludos, cómo adquiero uno de esos equipos

Sigh….. this is the part that’s gonna get scary for me. I have no idea what a good board is to a bad one. …lol… after I replace my old kit I wanna play with mics and open amplification but I want my PA gear to last. There’s a lot of variety to choose from. 😳

Is it possible to use for mastering??

How is the latency with a direct bass or guitar going into a amp sim vst? does this go down to 32 samples?

bro said chassis's

Tell me you live in Florida with out saying it..

Can you please not shake the camera on your closeup? You got me feeling queezy. Great video after that though! :)

It’s not the best sounding interface, but it’s very cool with everything they packed in. Certainly near the top of the prosumer grade stuff.

Dude! Could You be even SLOWER??? :(
