Description

Audio interfaces convert microphone and instrument signals into a format your computer and software recognize. The interface also routes audio from your computer out to your headphones and studio monitors.

It acts as the bridge between the music you create and your DAW (digital audio workstation). Audio interfaces often include built-in preamps, headphone jacks, and monitor controls, and they come in various types to accommodate Thunderbolt, USB, FireWire, Ethernet, and PCI connections. Plus, audio interfaces are available at several price points, from budget-friendly units to advanced professional models. If you plan on making music using a computer, you'll need an audio interface!

What audio interface with Lavry Blue?

anonymous 12 March 2005

Forums

I'm about to upgrade to Lavry Blue converters - currently using Frontier Designs Tango24 with Dakota interface card.

The digital I/O between Tango24 and Dakota is ADAT optical (lightpipe).

Digital I/O on the Lavry is AES/EBU.

Is there such a thing as an AES/EBU to ADAT optical converter? Or will I have to replace the Dakota with another audio interface?

hello there,

looking to get an interface
which i can record bass guitar and turntables through onto an ibook G4. I hear that M-audio don't work well with Macs, Edirol make a couple of decent looking products but i've read some pretty unflattering things about them. Any ideas? I'm looking to keep the price below £300

Direct boxes/ preamps/ audio interfaces?

I have very recently bought a Lynx Lynxone soundcard, I got a good price on it which was too good to pass up. However my scant knowledge of the DAW means that now I'm without a breakout box I'm unsure as to the best means of inputting audio and midi to the card. I play guitar and bass and will want to mike up acoustic instruments.

Audio interface/ADAT questions

i originally was planning on trying to snag an Aardvark Q10 off ebay for the studio i'm setting up for my school, but the folks here are kind of reluctant of spending that kind of money on used stuff, especially if it's an auction item, so i'm looking at alternatives. the Tascam fw1884 is a very attractive option, but a little pricey.
