I need an advice from you, since I need to buy the tools for playing and recording guitars at home.
I live in an apartment and I have really annoying neighbours, so I can not be louder than a televisor...
I want to record guitars using the lineout of my tube amp. The amp was studied for this application and the line out is not the typical crappy lineout of the commercial amps. It is really good and it delivers a tone really close to the tone you can get recording the amp with a mic in front of the speaker.
There are two possible outputs: unbalanced 1/4" and balanced XLR.
All outputs on the back have the same low impedance and are controlled with the Line Out knob from zero to above line level (+4 dB). All these outputs can be connected to any impedance input (low, med, or high) and will always match - preamps or power amps alike.
I have a new iMac with Mavericks OSx and I'm planning to use Garage Band and Logic.
I would like to get an audio interface 100% stable with Mavericks, with excellent A/D conversion and for me it is crucial that the latency of the overall system is zero.
I will not use mics so I prefer to have open headphones (or semi-closed) not too much fatiguing since I'll have to wear them 3-4 hours every day.
I can get also a pair of monitors, but only if there is something that work well at really low volumes (normal conversation or not-loud televisor) otherwise I will use only headphones.
I have really good signal cables, boutique amp and great guitars, so I'd like to keep the quality of signal chain with high performances.
My budget is about 1000 € (1200 $).
Which are your suggestions?
