Members Y0UNGBL00D Posted August 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2012 tooooo late. see above. just kind of getting into the computer recording thing for now. this is cheap enough to fit what im doing with my money right now, and also capable enough to last me until i really hunker down and start messing with a studio. this is really just for idea tracking, songwriting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa4x12er2 Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 this is me. I'm in the market for a good audio interface... But i use Windows 7 64 bit. What range are you referring to when saying good? I have this one and I think it's really good. I also use Win 7 x64. On more of a budget this one is also good for the money and works fine in Windows 7 x64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tommy Horrible Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think they discontinued it now, but I loved the EMU 04040 USB I had. If you can find a used one, snag it. The PCI version is still being made though, and it wouldn't surprise me if you were able to find a USB version still boxed up that never got sold. I've got a brand new one I never opened the box the on. Seriously. Make me a offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrelusive Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm thinking cheap.... like $150ish range. Right now i patch a mic through my old Digitech RP2000 (set on 'bypass' so there's no signal processing), then i patch the RP's headphone out into the line in port on my pc... ghetto. Anything would be better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nightflameauto Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm gonna throw another vote into the Focusrite pile. I've had a few others (Alesis and MAudio mostly) but the one that's impressed me has been the Focusrite I eventually upgraded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SexWithRobots Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 Question for you 2i2 owners do you have problems with the gain being too loud with high output pickups even with the gain all the way down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blakkwater Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 Question for you 2i2 owners do you have problems with the gain being too loud with high output pickups even with the gain all the way down? switch the input to line instead of instrument.

Members nerol1st Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 I would say Presonus Audiobox, but it only has XLR. No it does. The XLR ports on the front are also 1/4" jacks (center). One is instrument one is line. I personally have not had the greatest luck with the build quality of cheaper presonus stuff and the drivers for the studio live were less than great on mac (for me at least running with cubase). But I do have a digimax D8 and to me the xmax stuff sounds better than the octanes on the profire I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nerol1st Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 late night advice threads lol. went super cheap and snagged this. figured if it sucks i can hollow it out as an ashtrayhttp://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Alpha/ I started out recording with the Omega.

Members chevybusa Posted August 6, 2012 Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 go. usb is fine. 1/4 and XLR. Don't know how many inputs you need, but if you only need two, definitely check out hte Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, a buddy of mine bought one so I could record him singing and playing acoustic and it is {censored}ing fantastic, the preamps sound {censored}ing great and it comes with some great software...everyone I've seen post that has one loves them, and they're $150 brand new, definitely check it out!

Members AxAxSxS Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 since the op has allready bought something else I will also reccomend the scarlett. Very happy with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Markdude Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've got a brand new one I never opened the box the on. Seriously. Make me a offer.I would, but I'm going to be getting the Yamaha THR10 in the near future (which doubles as an interface) and pretty much all I record these days is DI guitars, so it'd be redundant for me to have the EMU too. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComingApart Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 I got a cheap EMU-0404 PCI card a long time ago and like it and still use it, but I've never recorded much and am not sure my opinion's worth the space these typed out letters are taking up. I've got the same card. The sound quality and performance is awesome, but that Patchmix software you have to use with it has always been a bitch for me. Any change in configuration takes me forever to get sorted out. Other than that though it's a pretty badass card for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
