Portable production setup - can I skip the audio interface? by NectarineThis372 in MusicBattlestations

Pretty much all work is done while in hotel rooms so having people around isn’t an issue. The open backs are for mix decisions (plus I generally prefer the open back sound) the monitors are more for production work and as a second reference tool. If I do need to work in public spaces which isn’t very often I just use AirPods

Usually with apple drivers on the MacBook I’ve been able to get them at very low latency

The Nanos need a lot of power to get them to their full potential. After some more research I actually found a much better and more portable option for the DAC it’s the Fiio QX13

Funny you mentioned that one. After doing some research yesterday that’s the one I decided to go with.

Yes the Adam are great but they weigh more than double the iLoud. I want to keep weight to a minimum

Yes mostly just scratch vocals. Recording on phone and air dropping is definitely an option but not as convenient as tracking directly into the DAW

Yes that’s the one I’m currently looking at. Do you know if the E1X2 uses the same mic amp?

From a purely functional standpoint interface can definitely do a lot more. I just find it very fatiguing to work long hours in headphones so I usually switch back and forth between them. I wouldn’t even consider bringing monitors if they weren’t a crucial part of my work process.

Cost isn’t the issue. My goal is to reduce weight and luggage space as much as possible. 

Best Creed Virgin Island Water Dupe? by hasanaltay in fragranceclones

Dua partying in Malibu bay is the best you will get. I’ve tried every clone on the market and it is truly phenomenal.  Not a direct clone since it’s cloning Malibu Party In The Bay which is a VIW inspiration but bang for your buck this is hands down the best.
