I've done some extensive searching and reading in regards to the best USB interface/software solution and can't seem to figure out the best path.
I have been playing acoustic guitar (primarily rhythm) for 15+ years. I am looking for an interface that will allow me to lay down guitar and vocal tracks -- and then perhaps add other tracks such as percussion. I have absolutely no experience recording so a lot of the info that I've read regarding features and specs goes over my head. Since this is new to me, I prefer to spend only a modest amount of cash. Should I go with an interface such as the Edirol UA-25 or Tascam US122 (or other) and then add free/inexpensive recording software (e.g. Audacity)? If so, which interface and software? Or, should I invest a little more and get a more complete package such as Lexicon Omega, Mackie Spike, MBox, etc? Are f these products more than I will need for my purposes? Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations. Taco P.S. I will most likely be recording in Windows on a PC. |

Hey Taco,
Check out the M Audio line. You can pick up an MBox that would come bundled with lots of usable software and run on either platform. All for under $400. I just used and MBzox and I have 4 ProTools setups from MBox and Digi002 to ProTools HD3 and HD2Acell. I use all of it and Pro Tools would keep you in a large loop of people who use the software. cheers, chappy |
