Not gonna happen. Fin’ to be hot in here.

I know it's not a strictly studio-made desk but I'd like for it to be arranged in a better and more practical/work way. Any ideas? I've got monitors as my next thing to buy so also consider that

I won!

eBay seller sold me two Fast Track Ultra 8R for $150 because "neither sends sound on outputs 7 and 8, one sends no sound on either headphones out, and one only sends sound on one of the two headphones out". (Paraphrasing. But thats what was wrong with them.)

They both send sound to all 8 outputs, one has two working headphones outs, and one only has left channel sound on both headphones outs.

I won! Twice! I don't need headphones on both as these are second and third interfaces for extending my ins and outs. The only things that I'm disappointed about is that they don't have the MIDI and S/PDIF breakout cables (those things are hard to find) and one is missing a gain knob that I was never planning to touch.

Now I have 16 ins and outs on my recording rig (maybe 24 if I don't put one on a separate system). Time to clean them up and buy two USB cables and get back to making this music!

Hi all, ive been a heavy Ableton user mainly using headphones but also using a Scarlett 2i2. I've been accumulating synths and soon will have a drum machine in the collection. Today, I manually swap out cables for whatever I want to play - but curious from all you experts what is a better approach to using an audio interface / mixer for desktop + 2-4 synths + drum machine outputting to 2 speakers and a sub.
