Hey, I'm debating whether to get the sl3 or sl4. My main concern is the output/processing quality. I know that the sl4 has 2 usb inputs, which is a bonus but in terms of sound quality, which would be better?

I would be recording from a djm800 mixer into a MOTU 828 audio interface (and then onto a computer), so would having the 96khz option (sl4) really be that necessary? Do many other DJ's actually record mixes using the 96khz, or is 48khz fine? A lot of the files I mix with are wav, only 44.1khz anyway..

I know that both have 24-bit (at the moment I have sl1, which is 16-bit), just trying to work out which is more useful purely based on the quality of the output.

Many thanks for your help as always!

I'm fairly sure there's no difference between the SL2, SL3 & SL4 in terms of processing quality

Thanks webstarr. But what about the 48/96khz switch? Is that unnecessary or something worth having in the future?

I think the SL2 has less outputs than the SL3 but the quality is the same. Personally I think the SL4 is only really applicable if you're using video, otherwise it's a massive expense on things that you just won't use.
