How to choose an audio interface?
Let's find a Audio Interface match for you!
Are you a musician, a singer, songwriter or a sound engineer? Are you looking for your first audio interface or a new one?
Here you will find some suggestions to help on your search!
What will you record?
Will you produce a full band in a studio, live stage or your own songs in your bedroom?Nowadays it's possible to record and mix your songs, sounding professional, in your cozy bedroom as many hits were created while travelling in a hotel room, a bus or even at home.
Many small interfaces nowadays include different inputs so you can connect your instruments or microphone with the correct impedance and gain level. This will make your setup faster and reliable.
For guitarists and bassists there is even the possibility of connecting your instrument directly to the interface and using a plugin to rock your sound. No amps, no pedals, no neighbours screaming. Just you, your instrument/ microphone, some headphones and you are ready to record.
Here you can find some of examples:Product | Price |

It also allows a better visibility and reach to all buttons and controls of the device.
