Audio Interfaces
For the production cats:
Hola Everyone. I am currently using a M-Audio Audiophile USB audio interface. The damn thing always drops audio and I have read of similar problems on the net. I have tried other drivers with no luck. Also I can never get the control panel to work on it either. Well my new computer came in yesterday (Quadcore FTW!) and I’m looking to get things running smoothly on the production front.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a nice sort of cheap audio interface? Anyone have one they would be interested in selling? I just use it with Ableton and VSTs with no audio recording needed. I have looked into the Focusrite Sapphire but they are a bit too expensive right now for what I am using it for.

| go firewire if anything. I use a firewire 410 from m-audio. Many people either like it or hate it. It's not bad imo and haven't had any problems with it so far. If you want to get a good one look into the MOTU Firewire interfaces... |

I've learned to stay away from ANYTHING M-Audio, I've just had waaaay too many problems with their cards over the years. I think the best deal for a firewire card right now is the Presonus Firebox. Its got 6 1/4" outs and 4 1/4" ins. Its rugged as hell and has a really loud headphone amp: something that can really come in handy during noisy house parties. I had one for about a year and just loved it. My friend just bought one and its worked wonders for him too.
1 word of caution: do your homework on your firewire chipset. If you have a mac, you should be in the clear, but if you have a PC, check what your firewire chipset is in the device manager. If you have an "OHCI compliant device" or "VIA firewire chipset" you will be in trouble. The best chipset is the Texas Instruments.
Best of luck, interfaces can be a total crapshoot. |
