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!

So I've been digging around and stumbled on these Zoom H4n (Or H2) portable recording devices. From everything I'm reading online these things sound like a dream come true for those like me who are on a budget. I currently have a M Audio Interface unit (lower price range) which I've been plugging mics in directly for recording.

Audio Interface Help

First time post on recording.org... i've been on a few other forums and i'm trying to get some feedback on some of these new 4 mic preamp interfaces. Four mic preamps is what i'm looking for. I really don't wanna spend more than 500 bucks but I'm looking for something with 4 clean sounding pres, phantom power, usb or firewire that will work flawlessly with Logic Pro.
