Aaaahhhh no! Don’t start us all down the path of multiple DAI’s, I’m not sure about others on here, but I’ve just about managed to get it clear in my head how to connect up everything I’ve just bought (rumble 100, Scarlett interface etc) and ordered every cable I might need.
If you tell me two DAI’s are the way to go, it has implications for my sanity and bank balance (and possibly my marriage too if my wife sees any more Amazon deliveries…)
Edit:
I see this
Pams requirements are very specific and the problem only exists because she goes amp → DAI to add other instruments/drum machine → amp again because the speakers of the combo amp should be used for other instruments and the drum machine.
It would be perfectly fine if she just went for bass directly into DAI. Then it would work with just one so I doubt you need another one.
So to sum up: A second DAI would solve Pams issues but since you found a setup you are happy with there aren’t any issues to solve. Don’t give in to the dark G.A.S. of buying things you won’t even use! 
Maybe we should really start that thread of strategies to convince the better half

That would be public service! Apply the above gif here
Here’s one I’ve used:
“Holy crap, I can’t believe that came. I ordered this months ago but it was on back order, so I forgot all about it. I’ll just send it back, but it would break my heart… it’s so beautiful”. (feigning sadness) Or maybe I’ll just keep it and save us the cost of returning it.
Before I get another answer for that topic I edited in the link to the new thread I created.
Nice! I still thoroughly enjoy my 404HD and don’t regret the purchase 
From whom did you get that? GC and Sam Ash have them on back order.
Thanks! That’s a bit far for me.
Anyone here use a Focusrite 2i2 USB Audio Interface? I’d like to know your thoughts and comments.
Hi @JerryP. I have just bought the 4i4, it seemed to give just a little more flexibility for the price.
I am really happy. Absolutely no trouble setting it up in Reaper, and after watching a YouTube video on the Focusrite Control software, I was able to understand that and set up various configs (which you can save and recall) depending on the connection scenario you want (recording using headphones as monitor, practicing with signals going to amp, practicing late at night with headphones only, tablet audio into interface routes to amp or not etc etc). I’m not an expert yet by any means, but have been able to set it all up no problem.
The unit itself is well built and looks good too. Some people moan about the lack of level meters on the device, but it has halo rings round the controls and you can see the full meters in the control software.
I was originally going to buy the Motu M4, but that was out of stock everywhere, but now glad I got the Scarlett.
Thanks @Mark_UK. I assume that the 4i4 has 4 inputs. Are you using all four inputs in your setup?
Lots of people seem to like those a lot, good reputation.
Hi @JerryP, I have the two line inputs on the back connected to my tablet, so I can play Tidal tracks into the DAI setup. This takes up both input ports for left and right stereo.
On the front I’ve got my Rumble amp connected via its XLR line output to one of the main front DAI inputs. This routes my bass-pedal board-amp chain into the DAI.
This leaves one free line/instrument input on the front of the 4i4 to which I could plug my bass if I wish to bypass any colouration by the amp etc for a totally clean signal.
So I found you quickly use up 4 inputs no problem!
That has 4 inputs. Now you have to buy a drum machine to plug into one of those empty ones (GAS) 
I agree, I have 4 inputs on my Zoom U-44 which I thought was overkill at first, but those extra inputs are handy.
I also don’t know about others but to me it always gives me a feeling of unease to not have a buffer of any kind.
So right now I mostly use 2 of my 4 inputs but the 2 empty inputs cause ease of mind. Maybe just me though.
