How much do I have in my budget ?
Taking into account the answers to the previous questions , we should have narrowed down our candidates quite a bit . What remains in the decision is partly the budget you have . It is possible that for a little less you can take the same functions and add some headphones to your study .
It is important to stay within your budget when choosing the interface since , as much as it is an essential element of the study , there are other types of equipment that you must acquire to put together your perfect recording setup .
What else am I looking for in my interface ?
Today ’ s interfaces have much more than pre-amplifiers and converters . There are models that include internal processing ( such as Universal Audio ’ s Apollo line ) or specialized tools ( Presonus IoStation 24c or Audient SONOS for example ). In addition , there are interfaces with other very useful elements such as MIDI interfaces , meters , comfortable knobs to work with , switches to compare your sound on different devices and more . If you need a specific function on your equipment , it is important to take it into account when looking for the ideal interface for you . There is no “ one size fits all ” solution , so choose accordingly .
