  1. Originally posted by Jeztastic USB 1.1 is fine if you only need a couple of inputs. I have an M-Audio Duo. 2 inputs, 2 outputs, no problems. If you are just recording 1 or 2 things at a time, it's fine. It's not just recording though, it' if you want to do any mixing etc, using any external processing. Personally I thinks it's best to get the most flexibility you can. For instance I got my interface so I could record drums, but since then we've started using synths and programming in the live set - with this I can create different click track mixes for each band member and have those on seperate outputs to the main foh mix. I'd never have even been able to consider this with the old 1.1 card.
  2. Originally posted by jazzbo USB is fine if it is USB 2.0 but not if 1.1. 2.0 is fast as firewire. Look at an Edirol interface or maybe M-Audio. My 2496 is great for audio but I never got it to work right with MIDI. I would probably get an Edirol UA-25 interface if I was going to do it all over agin. Edit: or a UA-20 for cheaper. Make sure whatever you get has ASIO drivers for low latency. Even a PCI card needs that. I agree with USB2.0 being more than fine. The only USB 2.0 interfaces around last time I looked were the UA1000 (I have this and it's extremeley good) and the newer UA101. Both are 10/10 interfaces, at 96kHz, though the UA101 can run at 192kHz if you lose four channels. The 1000 has four mic pre-amps though which is very handy. Orginally I had an M-Audio Omnistudio USB (4x4 at 16bit 48kHz, and had a few problems with it.
