Hi, I have a Focusrite 18i20, and currently have all the rear line inputs taken up with three stereo guitar multieffects, Hotone, Pod, Mooer. so I only have two mono front inputs, left for synths. This system takes up all my line inputs. Can anyone think of a cheap but good way of getting my three guitar units into into one stereo input of my Focusrite 18i20, I was contemplating buying a Behringer EURORACK PRO RX1602 V2 as it would only be used for guitar multi effects, Ive tried the cheap moukey mixer but wasnt happy with the quality, unless anyone can point me in another direction or a better sugestions?

 

Maybe one of the Yamaha MG mixers will do the job for you. I think they're great mixers for the price. Keep an eye open because they usually come in two flavors: one fully analog and the other digital + analog. Fully analog is cheaper just because they don't include a DAC, everything else is the same.

It seems your soundcard accept ADAT.
Check that route too

You can get a second hand Behringer U-PHORIA UMC1820 for 100 euros.
Behringer ADA8200 for less.

Just check if they are compatible with your audio interface.
8 tracks multiplex it seems.

Countless home recording studios and live musicians are waiting for just such a product to manage their signal flow and will be delighted with this line mixer, especially since the only shortcoming of its predecessor, the unbalanced outputs, has now been remedied. Exactly the right thing for a certain group of users and definitely recommended.

The final question is : analog path (RX1602 V2) or digital path ADAT (UMC1820,ADA8200 ...)

 

If you just go direct, get a Behringer ADA8200 and use it with the Focusrite's ADAT I/O. Unless you're going to spend more money on a decent mixer/preamps and mics, just get the cheaper ADAT convertor and a couple of cheap DI boxes (if you need them).
