Need a new audio interface.
Need a new audio interface.
I had to return all of my borrowed gear and now have to purchase my own audio interface. I got impulsive and needed to record and I bought this: The TAPCO link.usb, because it was on sale at bestbuy for $56 dollars. So far it gives me audio drop outs every now and then and the lowest latency I can get is 21ms which is pathetic. It also doesn't seem to have any update for Vista the drivers are meant for Windows xp. I really need an interface I can run guitar rig with. Also want as little latency as possible. I have a budget of about $250 dollars or less. I'm considering the Maudio Fastrack pro although I'm tired of shitty Maudio products. If anyone has any recomendations I would appreciate it. Thanks friends and happy fathers day. Thors blessing be upon you.
Two technics 1210 turntables, alot of guitars, 2gig Sony vgz fz290, 2gig frankenstein pc, mbox, ableton, flstudio, recycle, the infinity gauntlet, and alot of spare time..
Re: Need a new audio interface.
Yeah, you really want to stay away from that Tapco shit. I was borrowing a $60 "mixer" of theirs for a while, and you could barely stop the piece of crap from clipping constantly.

Native instrument's audio kontrol 1 is 250 bucks, widely used around these parts, works great for me....oh and you get a free NI synth with it (like..you can get absynth, fm8, etc -- in other words, SWEET deal).

How about the Novation Nio 2/4?

It also comes with a nifty set of zero-latency guitar effects.

Can you go FireWire? If so:

If not, you can get the USB version, but you won't get as low latency:

What's wrong with your M-Box?

Re: Need a new audio interface.
I went for the Native Instruments Audio 8... I use it for my DJ setup so I can have the CD's plus laptop with Traktor and Live running. I've never had any issues so far so it gets a big thumbs up from me, only down side is that it's a bit expensive for what you get!!

+1 NI Audio Kontrol. I was hesitant because it's USB, but it has been solid.
Re: Need a new audio interface.
there's nothing wrong with USB.

Re: Need a new audio interface.
+1 on that, i had more problems with M-audio firewire solo, then anything. Had to get a TI chip FW PCI card, (the generic one was bad,scratchy, cutting out,etc) now i own NI's Audio kontrol 1-Tone Deft wrote:there's nothing wrong with USB.

Re: Need a new audio interface.
Firewire is good if you own a mac, if you're running windows it's 6 or 2x3 for USB or Firewire. I often use a USB soundcard for mixing at parties and have never had any issues.

Re: Need a new audio interface.
I also have the Audio Kontrol 1 and give it a thumbs up. Save for some minor oddities I went through with it the first day I got it, it's worked fine ever since.
