Hi. Complete noob to ableton.Looking for an audio/usb interface to use with turntables/bass (maybe live). Just wondering if usb 1 interfaces would have latency problems or anything else wrong compared to usb 2.

Also buying a new desktop to run Ableton and other programmes like Vjamm.Done some reading myself but wondering if anybbody had any advice for what to go for?
Any help apreciated.

Thanks,
Jamie

No help? Just there's a price difference between usb1/2 interfaces.Especially when for me when it's this close to xmas.

Thanks,

I think most components support USB 2.0 these days, so I don't think you'd be saving a whole lot of money from 1.0. As for latency issues, make sure you get a quality, LOW LATENCY sound card which supports ASIO 2.0, along with enough CPU power and atleast a Gigabyte if not 2 GB of RAM. This is crucial if you want to record in real time. M-Audio and E-MU make good recording sound cards. I use Audigy 4 Pro and haven't had any problems with latency with it.
