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!

Audio interface not recording 'clean'.

I recently purchased the Focusrite pro 14 and it was working just perfectly until yesterday. Now whenever I try to record vocals the track has a flange/auto tune sound to it and is incredibly annoying. I have closed and reopened Logic, created new projects, unplugged the interface, tried different mics yet nothing has helped. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem .

Need opinions/input on possibly upgrading mic/audio interface for home studio..

Forums

Hey all. Im pretty new to the forum, but am amazed at everyones knowledge and am learning a lot in short time. My question is about a mic and audio interface. Tax time is coming around and I'm just not sure that what I use to record is up to par, or if it will be worth it to buy new gear.

Audio Interfaces, Preamps, and Mixers. I NEED ANSWERS!

Okay, so I'm sort of a newbie to recording. I have a background in live sound, and understand the basics and more. But as I begin to slowly assemble a "studio" of sorts, I've come across a question that I, regardless of hours worth of research, still cannot draw a clear answer to.

Best usb audio interface for recording ONLY BASS with netbook?

I am planning to buy saffire 6 USB audio interference. I can record bass with a netbook HP mini 110-3500 with that?

Other option can be Roland V-Studio 20 (specifications say it can be use in netbooks!)

Looking for audio interface / mic preamp recommendations (spoken vocals, Shure SM7B)

Forums

Hi all! I'm putting together a home studio and am looking for some recommendations before I buy.

As for my situation, I'm recording spoken vocals for audio-only video games -- essentially radio dramas with some interactive elements. For now I only need to record 1 actor at a time, but I want my studio to support more than that in case I need multiple simultaneous actors later on.
