Members Pedro Posted June 23, 2004 Members Posted June 23, 2004 Do any of you guys have a USB interface that you use for recording on your comp? Thanks
Members LittleBrother Posted June 23, 2004 Members Posted June 23, 2004 Behringer has a very nice new one. I own and love my M-Audio firewire 410. I think it's one of the best things I ever bought. The M-Audios are known for having a high quality professional preamp in them. They make the chips for several other brands. Good luck... Maybe others can add more to the list...

Members Etienne Rambert Posted June 24, 2004 Members Posted June 24, 2004 I use the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 USB external for my notebook. I'm happy with the sound. But there is latency.
Members Cams Posted June 24, 2004 Members Posted June 24, 2004 I use the MindPrint Di-Port. It hooks up to your soundcard via a digital cable, either optical (TOS-link) or coax, so you will need a digital input on your soundard. The device has built-in analogue digital converter which takes the strain off your soundcard and CPU, hence no latency issues. The preamps are really quiet too.
Members Mattface Posted June 24, 2004 Members Posted June 24, 2004 I use the Edirol UA-1x ($70). It works great compared to the Giffin iMic I used to have. It has one pair of analog ins, and a pair of analog outs, and a digital output/headphone jack. For sourcing more than one channel you would need a small analog mixer. I use an inexpensive Behringer 6 channel mixer into the Edirol USB interface into my powerbook.
Members vetstudent Posted June 24, 2004 Members Posted June 24, 2004 I have a little different approach (cheaper but not as good I'm sure) I just bought a little behringer Eurorack 802? Anyway ($50) I run my mics into it and just use a stereo cable to run it into my sound blaster card. The card is my weakest link! I get fine quality for what I want but I'm sure if I spent the $150 to get a decent card I'd get some very good quality recordings A lot of guys will talk bad about behringer mainly because they're cheap and not made in the US. I've had excellent results with them and I think they build very durable products. Don't really know what you're wanting to do I just wanted to put out some different options. Brent

I've got a Turltle Beach Santa Cruz sound card that works great. It's an old sound card but you can get one for almost nothing now.http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=29-118-101&depa=0
Members chipmonk-doug Posted June 25, 2004 Members Posted June 25, 2004 I run mine from the line out on my PA to the sound card. Works ok but not good. But cost is low. doug
Members Pedro Posted June 25, 2004 Author Members Posted June 25, 2004 I just found this at MF what do you think M-Audio Audiosport Quattro MIDI/USB Interface
Members Barry Jive Posted June 26, 2004 Members Posted June 26, 2004 Originally posted by Pedro I just found this at MF what do you think M-Audio Audiosport Quattro MIDI/USB Interface That has no XLR ins, and (appropriately) no phantom power. In other words, you can't use condensor mics with it. Unless you're doing all direct/midi recording I'd go for something else. The firewire 410 is great. My buddy just bought it and it's amazing.
