Low-latency audio interface?

Post by Kevin Hamler » Sat Dec 03, 2022 4:36 am

I’m looking to use Live to play out live, including playing VST instruments via MIDI guitar, and processing vocals. So I’m looking for an ultra-low latency audio interface, 4-6 inputs, budget $400. Liking the looks of Focusrite, but would be interested in some real-time experience from Live users. Will be used on a fairly speedy Windows gaming laptop, which does have USB-C & Thunderbolt.

Thanks in anticipation!

For my homestudio, I have a Focusrite Scarlet 18i20 3rd generation. I like it a lot, but for your use, I would upscale a bit, and go for an RME interface. They are more reliable, better and faster drivers and better sound quality.
