    I have both the UAD x16 and since a few month ago, i get the Aurora Lynx mk2 and have to say the difference is noticeable in the Aurora, sound more deeper and open, the lows sound round and the stereo image , mid and highs sound pristine.

    I was running two Apollo's in my tracking space -- one 8p and one x8. Sold the 8p and upgraded to a slightly used x16 and added a Heritage Audio OST-8 ADAT. Love it. I track everything with analog outboard into LUNA. Love your set up -- I'm very interested in that Flock Audio Patch.

    Thanks. Analog in is definitely the way forward. I use a hybrid mix of analog and plugins for mixing. You’ve got a good set-up there! 🔥 Check out the Flock, it’s unreal!

    Got to do the same in a few weeks. My new drum room will be ready soon. Have 4 racks worth to move and re-cable! All good fun though. Adding some new pres for the drum tracking. Hope your upgrades work out.

    Man you should have got the cranborne Adat 500. 2 optical cables would have ran your modules to your X8 or X6

    I considered this but I wanted the flexibility the Flock Audio Patch provides for unlimited routing possibilities. You’re quite limited to single send/returns or fixed mono module chains with the Cranbourne.
