RexRed Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Hey Bruno, my PC has 44 lanes and the audio interface is the only item on that bus. My RAM is 96gb 3000mhz but I do not have it overclocked. Thanks for your help here. Edited February 13, 2021 by RexRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Which such a hardware, why are you not considering something like a PCIe interface or Dante? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexRed Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 PCIe cards I have heard picks up too much of the PC's noise https://smile.amazon.com/Tascam-Resolution-Versatile-Interface-US2X2HR/dp/B08MFMFYBP/ref=sr_1_3 I just noticed this it, is not that pricy and has great frequency response, very low noise level and very low latency but only USB 2.0. The Steinberg UR22C which I bought is supposedly "very noisy" but it is still USB 3.0 I can't hear the noise "yet" but... I am going to keep it but I might buy the Tascam too just to try it out. I have never heard of Dante... What is it? I have an RTX 3090 and I have heard this graphics card creates a lot of noise on the PCIe bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexRed Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) MOTU M2 2x2 USB-C Audio Interface https://smile.amazon.com/MOTU-M2-USB-C-Audio-Interface/dp/B0812B26TN/ref=sr_1_5 This one is REALLY nice too! It really all comes down to how much is USB 3.0 worth in the overall picture of things? My Cakewalk projects are more stable with a 3.0 interface. I am not sure if that is because of better drivers or because there is much less data glut. I really wish I knew more about all of this... I think I would buy the Motu one over the Tascam one...

Tezza Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) What your describing sounds to me like some sort of compressor problem, are there any compressors in the recording signal chain anywhere (software or hardware)? Does the audio interface have one hiding inside it? Edited February 16, 2021 by Tezza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatstand Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 From what I have read and understood, the performance gain in using USB 3 over USB 2 is minimal hence why manufacturers have not all jumped onto the ship. USB 3 does provide more power which helps if you want a USB powered interface as opposed to mains powered. AFAIK the downside of USB 2 is that the bus runs at the speed of the slowest peripheral on the bus so if you have something slower than your interface also attached, it will affect performance. If you are looking for a cheap interface, I recently bought a Behringer UMC404HD interface (USB 2) for my son, and am quite impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
