Between the motu, the native instruments 6 interface, and saffire 24 which would you choose? the reason i say saffire because i currently have the scarlet 18i6 having terrible problems with drivers which are resolived with the saffire line. So im taking the 18i6 back and im torn between the these 3 interfaces. They all have relative same i/o which has the best mic pres in your opinion and which is the quietest as far as s/n ratio. Thanks for any advice you can give :)
Can you recommend a budget/lower priced USB 2.0 audio interface with ADAT/Optical and MIDI I/O? I saw that the Focusrite Scarlet 18i6 has it for about $300, but I just don't really need much more than 2/2 mic connections. Thanks!
Hey, i'm producing electronic music, and im wondering if a soundcard will make any difference in the sound quality? (Im not recording vocals or instruments, just working with plug-ins)
And if the answer is yes, what card should i go for?
Hey, I wanted your comment on the new M-audio Fast-track C400 and C600. I have the Presonus audio box but i want something a lil more higher end now. I know many say that the presonus has quite good mic pre-amps. How would you compare the C400 to the audiobox? I know for a fact that the sample rate on the C400 is 96khz which is quite better than the presonus. So which one would you suggest? Thank you :)
I've been having problems with choppy playback from my DAW. I know it's because I have a lot of tracks and plugins running at the same time and I guess if I had a better computer I wouldn't have this problem. Changing the buffer size is not helpful because then I get a delay when recording. What I want to know is if my soundcard has anything to do with this? If I get a better one and plug it into the same computer, open the same project and listen back could it be that it would be less choppy?
@frugihoyi it is possible that it will assist yes. However, this is primarily effected by the CPU of your computer. It is certainly worth a try but a computer upgrade or bouncing some tracks to audio will most likely be more helpful.
@kosmicmi i had the same problem the easiest thing is just record your midi tracks to audio it saves you so much cpu . What i do keep in mind its a pain in the ass but it works is i'll add effects individually instead of running a whole punch of effects at once and just re record until i have everything i want on it
hey great video, i'm using Tascam 144MKII that you didn't mention in that video, is that a good interface? it's sampe price as presonus audiobox. i only use it to record vocal with AKG P120, but it seems lack of power for the mic when i compared when i plug the AKG P120 in my mixer that doesn't have usb, so now i just plug the REC and 2T RTN with RCA to my integrated laptop soundacard, and i think the sound quality better even with less bit and sample rate.
The mid Avid Mbox states '4 x 4 simultaneous channels of I/O'. I want an interface to capture acoustic guitar from a RodeNT 4 (both channels) and also the pickup system installed on the acoustic guitar with the option of a vocal mic and another instrument input.
Can the mid Mbox only do 2 instrument ins or 2 XLR ins at a time? or a combination of 1 instrument, 1 mic?
@keithmurraymusic the mbox can do 1 instrument and 1 mic yes (or of course 2 instruments OR 2 microphones). Essentially it has 2 x 2 simultaneous analog inputs as the other 2 ins and outs are digital in the form of spdif.
I got Creative Xfi Titanium HD. It does have a decent DAC in it - would that work fine? I have plans on getting behringer B1/B2 mic with MIC200 preamp.
@HazakyProductions The creative stuff does perhaps have decent converters but we would always suggest going for an audio interface that is designed for audio production/ recording specifically, as it will generally perform better in the production/ recording environment. Having said that, what you suggest will work fine yes, provided the creative card has line inputs.
@ali460 The Apogee Ensemble is a great card yes. However, for some reason, it hasn't been a huge seller for us and we didn't have stock at the time when we shot the video. It is a great interface though.
