DAC or Audio Interface for my setup?

I appreciate the quick response! I saw that but I think I forgot about it in the sea of different stuff.

Also, if you do want some presonus gear, the BlueTube DP v2 is going to be better then the tubepre v2. I should clarify that I just don’t like their preamps. Their other products like their mixers or interfaces are good imo.

Oh I’m not picky, other than the dbx 266xs. I’ve heard great things about that compressor. Everything else is flexible.

Also, if you don’t mind buying used, you can get a really good deal on a pro mpa ii

This is seriously a great true tube preamp

Edit: Here is a bstock link

Edit 2: On ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/ART-Pro-MPA-II-ART-Direct-B-Stock/303216374897?hash=item46991ab471:g:DNYAAOSw8D1avCVV

I do not mind used at all but I have no idea where to look. Is Reverb.com one of the better places for this?

Reverb generally is a pretty good way to find used stuff, as with any site, you just have to make sure its in good condition and not beat up. Buying b stock items generally come with a warranty, so its a safer bet. Ebay is also fine as well. Both are well known sites (especially ebay), so I don’t think its something to worry about. I’ve used both of these sites before and have had no issues

Also I’m assuming you are planning on either buying another mic or using an instrument for your two channel setup (or just to expand in the future)

Yeah I have a piano that I’ll be using for the other channel

Or another mic that I have if I decide to join the plethora of millennials starting podcasts.

C’mon podcasts are fun

I love listening to them, and I would love to be a part of one. I’m just not the best at the content.

Do rack mounted things lay flat on top of each other if I don’t have a rack yet?

You can do that, but overtime you might have heat issues and scuff the cases. It should be fine temporarily if you aren’t blocking vents on the cases
