Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. And i didn’t realise those Steinberg interfaces had DSP controllable within Cubase - That’s REALLY interested me. Seriously looking at the UR824 now - it looks a steal for what you get with the ADAT option too. Plus, i think i’m done with Mac for audio and perhaps should give USB a try - Apple just seem to want to grab you by the balls and squeeze. 
One question, have you tried the pre-amps on your UR824 for mic’ing guitar amps? Sometimes i have to raise the gain on my focusrite (Around 75-80%) to get a good recording level if it’s late at night. Do they get noisy when applying gain?
Edit: wow it’s a good price too - Steinberg Ultimate Cubase Recording Pack w/ UR824 & Cubase Pro 10 - Andertons Music Co.
Cubase on it’s own is 400+ - that’s insane!
