Input question

Hi, newbie here. I am getting my first UDO in early June, leaning towards the Super Gemini. I have a Neve 88M and wondered if just going straight through that into MacBook Pro is the best way to link it up?
Or is there any advantage/improvement by going through two DIs before the 88M? Thanks!

A bit scary plugging such an expensive instrument into inputs with phantom power. Since 88M is also an audio interface you can record the Gemini straight to computer. You’ll only be able to record the mix output from the Gemini. If you want to record split layers you need atleast 4 inputs on the audio interface.

I’m always careful to have phantom off. Regularly use Nord Electro through it. I do have four ins on an Apogee Quartet, could use that . . .
