    Start with? This thing is all you will ever need. The eleven rack for amp modeling is the most accurate I have ever played with.

    Time to pick the brains of KB and DrN. Would this be a nice interface to start with? I wont use mics for guitars and bass, but I do have mics for drums and vocals, and with my monitors and the headphones I have I should be fine to get rolling.

    That M Audio M Track Audio interface looks like it has similar specs to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 so therefore I reckon it should be good enough to get you up and running, make sure you download the most up to date drivers from the M Audio website, they might even offer some additional software downloads too, if you have any problems setting it up feel free to pm me for any help mate, hope it goes well.




    And just for some giggles, here's a pic of my old Dual 500Mhz G4 Mac, I replaced the original single 450Mhz CPU module with a dual 500Mhz CPU module, installed four new 512Mb SDRam stick and replaced the original graphics card with a new beefier one, the G4 is running OS X Panther and ProTools LE6.4:Click image for larger version.

    Hi Kels, the M-Audio is good, as is the Scarlett 2i2. The preamps are a little better quality on the Scarlett.
    A couple of others I'd recommend as you get used to using them Kels and give you a little bit more
    Versatility. Check out these:
    http://www.musicradar.com//reviews/t...ett-2i2-529226

    http://www.musicradar.com//reviews/t...x-22vsl-533991
    The benefits of the Personus are it gives you midi so you can plug in foot pedals
    and midi keyboards as and when you get or use these. One other benefit is it comes
    with Studio One Artist brilliant DAW package. If it's down to budget get the m-audio.

    My personal recommendation Kels is this if you don't need midi, get the Scarlett 2i2
    It works with Macs, PCs and iPads.

    Kels If you'd love the added midi facility, you could add synths pianos control virtual instruments and foot pedals, get the Presonus Audiobox 22vsl and Studio One is Mac pc and iPad compatible . The latency on this unit is approx 5ms, this means the delay between you plucking the string, it then going into the interface and software and you hearing it. That is very fast, a big bonus.

    If you just buy the interface it's fantastic, here's Rob Chapman using the studio box if you already have mics and headphones you won't need them anyway.

    Ultimately, whichever Audio Interface you buy is going to be dictated by your budget if your budget is tight, and also what computer hardware you're going to be connecting the Audio Interface up to, you sometimes come across cheap USB Audio Interfaces by Edirol, I know one guy in Darwin who bought one and both he and I had major headaches just getting it to work with his computer, just so you know.

    That ESUI808 looks like a cool bit of Studio kit, I've decided that I'm definitely going to start buying myself an Eleven Rack starting early next year after the Christmas season.

    The ESU1808 for the money there's nothing to touch it for the amount of inputs pre amp quality and price $399.00.
    http://www.soundtown.com.au/products...dio-interface/

    You can record a whole band with this thing. Glad you like yours Jarrod. The pre amps are great quality, clean that you can always add colour to using a di or plugins. Again Kels it's down to budget. Im personally not a fan of m-audio as they drop products and support, and leave you with hardware that won't work with the latest operating systems. At the end of the day what matters are these things budget, spec, build quality and support. Read reviews make sure it will do what you want then purchase the one you can afford and feel fits your needs. If you have any other questions Keloooe just ask.Good luck Kimball.

    P.s what computers operating systems do you use Kels

    Also, when shopping for an Audio Interface do alot of shopping around before you commit to a purchase, you might be able to get a good deal at another shop that offers the same Audio Interface at a lower price.



    I'm just currently working on a little PsyTrance track I started making not long after I re-installed FL Studio back onto my Laptop after doing the upgrade to Windows 10 Threshold 2, now, if my ears aren't playing tricks on me I reckon my Scarlett 2i2 is sounding even better than it did before, might see if I can finish the track off and maybe post a sound cloud link for you guys if you're interested.
