Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Behringer U-phoria UMC404HD Pre Sonus Audiobox USB 2X2
This USB powered box comes with
2 combo inputs, which allows each
input to be used as either line level or
mic level inputs. This USB device is a
great option as it allows you to record
at higher sample rates than most other
budget interfaces with lower latency. This monster of an interface has
amazing money to performance
value with 4 combo inputs each laced
with MIDAS pre-amps, 4 outputs, 4
TRS inserts for external processing
units and zero latency monitoring
capabilities. This sturdily built interface has 2
combo inputs as well and is perfect to
start out with your home studio.
Pre Sonus 44VSL M-Audio Fast Track Ultra Focusrite 18i8
Arguably the best interface at this
price range, this device has 4 brilliant
mic pre-amps in the form of combo
inputs with 4 additional TRS inputs
in the back that allow you to at high
sample rates. This device is an absolute beast with
4 mic pre-amps out of which two are
combo inputs, along with 6 TRS inputs
at the back. In addition, it also has
two TRS insert jacks that can be used
to patch in a hardware processor. To
round it all up, M-Audio blesses us with
6 TRS outputs that should be more than
sufficient to work in a home studio
set-up. This USB interface is extremely useful
when it comes to tasks such as tracking
a live band in real time since it has
4 mic pre-amps in the form of combo
inputs, 4 TRS inputs in the back and
the option to use external pre-amps to
track all the 18 inputs.
