Krishna Ramsundar Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Nothing too crazy, I'm only gonna use two lines: a mic and a regular guitar cable. I'm not gonna use both the guitar and mic at the same time however. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 7415 2 in 1 if you need pc specs/compatibility.

mettelus Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 OMG... I just looked at Amazon and there is a "sponsored" brand there that looks identical to Focusrite but has the name "Dacimora"... make sure the product is Focusrite!!! What actually ticks me off more with this is I specifically searched for "focusrite scarlett 3rd gen usb audio interface" and those fakes come up first. Either the Focusrite 3rd Gen Scarlett Solo or Scarlett 2i2 (a little more, but with a few more features) will do what you are asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 No matter what, make sure you get something from a reputable manufacturer. Hint: if they don't have it at Sweetwater, Musician's Friend, Thomman it is not a reputable manufacturer. If they tell you to download ASIO4ALL, that should be a hard pass and move on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragi Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) The Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2 is a good usb interface ,low rtl and and includes some goodies during the holiday season like komplete select aso. https://www.thomann.de/de/native_instruments_komplete_audio_2.htm Edited December 30, 2023 by Pragi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 PreSonus is another manufacturer to consider. Beyond just the tech specs for the interfaces, several also offer software, FX, and other goodies as Pragi mentioned. Definitely take a little time comparing specs and reading reviews (especially the negative ones) on items that you are considering. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The best interfaces that I could find that meet the criteria of costing under $100 and allowing simultaneous recording of 2 tracks, 1 guitar and 1 vocal, are the PreSonus Audiobox USB 96K at $99 and the M-Audio M-Track Duo at $69. Personally, I'd go for the PreSonus. I have a similar model, the PreSonus Studio 2|4 and the sound quality is excellent. My larger interface is a Focusrite. They're both great, really. Can't go wrong with either brand, but CAVEAT: Focusrite has saved costs on the lower end models like the Scarlett 2i2 by omitting a MIDI interface. PreSonus still make theirs with the standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Funny how everyone recommends Focusrite all the time. They actually don't make the short list if you compare all the interfaces of any given category. They are simply a "best Seller" There are possibly better interfaces in same price range. I just did a big research project on 2x2 interfaces. Here's most everything you need to know about 2x2 interfaces. Next I'm going to cover Audio interface Mixers. https://sites.google.com/view/cactus-studios/audio-interfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna Ramsundar Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 UPDATE: I got a 4th gen Scarlett solo for my birthday :D. Latency is non existent and the sound is amazing! I just gotta learn out the settings and stuff now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PreSonus has shifted a lot of their hardware to use their Universal Control software (installing Universal Control has options to install the drivers for about half a dozen audio interface types included). The virtual loopback is embedded into that application via the virtual mixer (similar to OBS, MixControl, and the like). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
