I am looking into the above (Audio interface eg. good mic preamp's with converters, usb, 2-8 xlr/TRS inputs without midi.

Hey Guys,

I'm brand new to the recording game and was wondering what the best budget preamp/audio interfaces were for home recording. I have a new macbook pro and want to record guitar and vocals.
In terms of budget I probably don't want to spend much more than $200 as I'm also buying a mic.

Any help would be awesome, thanks :)

Looking for the best value one of these.

I have a 2011 macbook pro and am looking for an interface to use, opinions on best value with phantom power for inputs?

I've heard to stay away from prosonus and m-audio is OK but not much else, and advice will be helpful.
For use with an SM58 for vocals.
Also for recording guitar.

Right now focused on getting an audio interface and microphone to start recording. I play the trumpet and only other options would be if I decided to plug my Yamaha 155 digital piano in which is less likely or if a friend that I play in an ensemble also plays guitar if we ever chose to record something together. I like the multi-use XLR and having 2 inputs and a few options.

I’m looking to buy a http://www.PreSonus… PreSonus[/]="http://www.PreSonus… PreSonus[/] AudioBox USB, however I don’t know much about this stuff and I need some help.

I’m looking to buy a PreSonus AudioBox USB, however I don’t know much about this stuff and I need some help.

Currently I don’t have any studio monitors or headphones that would connect to the AudioBox, but do I really need studio monitors or a pair of headphones?

Hello,

I have had a small studio set up for editing purposes only (no recording), using PT8 LE/Mbox 2. I've since upgraded to PT9, since I need to work on higher resolution session files (96Khz+) that I record in the studio. The Mbox2 allows only up to 48Khz files, so I need to find another option to connect my monitors.

I am new to audio interfaces and I have a few questions. I know that most of these should probably go directly to Tascam as pre-sales questions, but I'm wondering about the issues in general and how the answers apply to any brand of audio interface.

1) Is the audio signal sent into the computer through the USB connection? If so, what is the purpose of the unbalanced RCA jacks?

I've been using a PreSonus firepod for a little while. It isn't actually mine though and I'm working on building my own home setup, so I need to buy a new one.

Should I just buy another firepod, or venture out to new things? Does anyone have any other advice for a basic setup for tracking/demoing?

Thanks!

Any suggestions? I only need it for one thing and that is have an input for my Turntable, nothing else.
