I use a Roland Duo Capture, it appears to be the unit Behringer ripped off this time... I thought they said they'd stopped that sort of thing...


In no way am I defending Behringer-I totally understand the history of Behringer copies (starting with the Mackie boards back in the 90s).

But you claim Behringer ripped off the Roland unit.

The 2 don't look ANYTHING alike-not even close. It is like saying a VW beetle looks like a Lamborghini so something

Yes they both have 4 wheels and an engine :) ---------------------------

 I am just trying to understand where you are coming from on this statement.

Maybe I am missing something.

You're right,  :) the one I have is actually the "Duo Capture EX".

As much as I hate to admit it, the Behringer UMC202 works very well-no software-just plug it in and go.

That's what I use with no issues. Under $100, hard to beat.

Please forgive me if this is way off. I have a Mackie pro 8 with USB. I ran it to laptop and smaart sees it but shows left and right on input options. Regardless what I route through Mackie it comes through as one input. Does not show the separate pres. Thanks

I just bought a used octa-capture myself. Was seriously considering a focusrite Scarlett 18i8 or 6i6, just couldn't resist recallable pres on the octa-capture, though I really don't need them.

I picked up the octa-capture a year or two back.   The digital gain on the pres were the selling point for me as well.   Now if I could find a smaller 2in-2out with the same digital gain setup for under $200, that would be great!  The octa is just a little hefty.

You might be able to pull off a used focusrite forte or avid/apogee duo for close to that. But options are thin for sure! I wanted to use 2-3 measurement mics plus loop back so that requires 3+. Otherwise I would have looked for a used Forte. Specs are better than everything I've seen in its class.
