If I want to pair it with a Focusrite Scarlett Octopre, what optical cable/format do I need?

TOSLINK optical

May I suggest you also look at the Audient ASP 880? outstanding bit of gear though more expensive. .

And, all good! Not needing them, just wanted to clarify

That's where patch bays come into their own. Use them to bring your inputs and outputs to where you can get at them easily. You can make them go a lot further that way.

Yes it looks fantastic but a week ago I said to myself, ok I think i'll get an Apollo Twin Duo for £715 and that's it. Stops spending money!

Here's what actually happened (so far)

Apollo Twin Quad £1069
Choose any 3 plug-in bundle registration offer £299
Used various other offers to get the Roland effects bundle £93
Thunderbolt cable £39
USB to HDMI adaptor £41
Logic Pro X £199 (I'd been on Pro 9)

Ouch! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

But it's quality kit and it'll all get used so all good ... but OUCH

I know that feeling, but there's a certain comfort in not buying cheap as well :)

I have a pile of not-used-much-but-would-be-nice-to-keep-oh-grow-up-man-you-cant-have-everything gear sitting on eBay. That helps too! :mrgreen:

That's exactly how I ended up with 20 super nice mic pres when I only really ever use 3 :-)

Oddly I can't be arsed to spend it where it'll really matter...on the room!
