Running stereo tracks live + in-ear click? Interface?

Post by jwing » Tue Aug 14, 2018 4:55 pm

Hi there,
I'm looking for an inexpensive audio interface solution that would allow me to run multi-channel audio in a live scenario. I'd like to send a stereo mix to the house of the main outs (1/2), and then a cue mix for my in-ear monitoring setup using separate channels, headphone out or 3/4. Ideally I had wanted to run something from an iPad to cue songs rather than Ableton (since there are no triggers involved), but I can't figure out an audio interface that will allow multichannel / separate outputs so that we can keep both a stereo mix and a click separately rather than combining them into a stereo mix and panning hard left/right, which we'd prefer not to do.

My budget for this is around $100 and I'm definitely looking for something portable obviously. Thanks!

As far as I know, you won't be able to get a 4 out interface at that price. Even with focusrite's budget range you only start getting 4 and more outs at about $175, but I may be wrong.

However since there are so many of these and similar budget interfaces floating around I'm sure you won't struggle finding someone who wants to upgrade and sell you theirs.

Yes it's around $ 175,= and then you have outputs on RCA's.....
