Re: Regarding small portable bus powered interfaces

2014-05-10 Thread Scott Chesworth
I can second the recommendation of this interface, especially at this
price. There's not a ton of gain to be had, and there's a slight
amount of cross talk from phantom power, but really, I've heard much
worse preamps than these on budget gear. The control panel is
accessible enough to tweak latency on both sides of the fence, and it
looks like doing a bit of other routing related stuff that I've never
needed to do would be doable if you did need that.

If anyone needs extra reassurance that you can get pro sounding stuff
done with the right cheap gear and a judicious set of ears nowadays,
all of the bass, guitars and vocals on the EP I'm about to link to
went down through this exact interface:

Hope that helps somebody make an impulse purchase :)

Regarding small portable bus powered interfaces

2014-05-10 Thread TheOreoMonster
Below is a great portable USB interface on sale for today only while supplies 
last. for $49. PC & mac drivers, 24bit/96khz.. I owned one and has been rock 
solid for me and is my interface for use with my macbook air on the go. But at 
one point was the center of a small PC based recording setup. Highly 
recommended, see below for details.
