    Small desktop audio interface. Good quality.

    Hello Everyone. As the title suggests i'm looking for some information regarding small audio interfaces, similar to the Scarlette 2i2. I was considering this exact one, however the issue of guitar clipping came up on enough occasions to warrant concern. All my guitars have humbuckers which I...

    A few questions on DI boxes.

    Hey everyone. Do any of you use a DI box instead of plugging a guitar into your interface? If so, why? Is it always or nearly always a better alternative as far as audio quality goes? If I was to get one for my guitar and then a single preamp for my mic would I need to route them both to an...

    Steinberg MR816CSX or Liquid Saffire Pro 40?

    Hey everyone! I'm really tossed up between these two interfaces. They both have everything i'm looking for, I think. 8 pres, ADAT, Hi-z. It's too bad about no MIDI for the MR816 but it's no biggie. I get the MR816 has slightly to much better everything but the main thing keeping me from a...

    Help choosing audio interface!

    Hey guys. I want to get an audio interface. USB 2.0 or Firewire. I'd like to be able to mic up a drum kit so 8 pres would be nice. I'd like ADAT. I hear hi-z input is better for guitars, so that would be a great addition, and direct monitoring is an absolute must. I was all ready to get a...

    Good studio monitors

    I have a maximum budget of 400 dollars for some studio monitors. I haven't educated myself too much about them. I hear KRK rockets are really good quality for the price range, and that I shouldn't get any smaller than 6 inches. Feel free to leave me some suggestions as to what else I can look...
