I’m running out of USB ports on my 7-port hub. What is the better option (if any):
Add another hub to another port on my PC, or exchange the present one for a larger hub?
Would a USB3 hub make any difference? All my devices are USB2.
7-port hub is not enough?
What are you controlling?
2 keyboards
1 Behringer X-touch mini
1 Akai LPD-8
1 TC-Helicon Voicelive Touch 2
1 Enttec DMXIS
1 Behringer FCB1010 through MIDI-to-USB
Edit: …and one M-Audio C400 interface
I’m thinking of getting another X-touch.

Thanks, so you’re saying a larger hub is better than two smaller? Or it just doesn’t make any difference?
The larger the hub is the hotter it gets.
In short, I do not really know.
I have a couple 7port USB hubs, when I need more I just combine; so I would go for another…
Edit: important is the power the Hub can provide, what model do u have currently? @Furillo
I was hoping for that answer, since I already have another 7-port lying around.
I use two 7 port hubs for my rig!
Four keyboards
PACER pedalboard
RME audio interface
Three iPads (to power them, they communicate over WiFi)
Eigenharp
Occasionally a MIDI fighter Twister or an xtouch
Portable drive for time machine backup (during rehearsals only of course)
Jäger und Sammler
Wow…I can’t find that over here.
Is it an MTT hub? That’s really important
That in the video?
It says currently unavailable
I’ve been using ANKER hubs, they seem to be very solid and reliable.
Specs don’t mention MTT nor STT for my hubs… Should i worry?
MTT is a “grey area” most Hubs don’t have I think and not easy to spot those that have. USB3 change this no? @dhj
