Hey, I am looking for a USB interface under $200. I know there is not alot of options but could someone tell me what I would do best off getting on my budget?

Thank you!
 
All I have experience with, and the one most people here have recommended is the maudio fasttrack pro. It'll do up to 4 simultaneous inputs and 4 or 8 outputs (I forget). I've used it a few times and pres are fine, the interface is simple, and for the money probably the best I know of.
 
So only vocals, no plans on guitar, bass, keyboards or anythng else?

to be honest with ya..i really don`t know anything about the unit you posted...but if your now considering maybe adding keyboard later on..then if you do get that unit, that wil be it for reall..no changing yur mind later and adding anything else..well, i`m sure you know that..but just saying, sometimes it`s probley best to get something that will give ya a little more breathing room..
hopefully someone else will chime in soon, and be able to give a review/opinnion on the unit in your link..

Okay thank you! I just need advice on whether I should get the Audiobox or the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2!
 
For simply vocals?? Either the Presonus or Focusrite you asked about would work just fine. The weakest link isn't the interface in a recording studio. The room, the mic, the performer, the performance and the monitoring environment all will make a difference in the quality of your recording before the interface will.

You should be looking for an interface that will fit well within your workflow. Probably the biggest influence in selecting an audio interface for just vocals would be which DAW program ships with it. If you don't have one already, it should be part of your consideration.

I have Adobe Audition, but want to upgrade. The Audiobox comes with Studio One and I think the Focusrite comes with a vst plug in bundle. Is there you could learn towards one for me? I can't really decide

The focusrite comes with Ableton Live, which is a DAW like Studio One, Adobe Audition, Cubase, Sonar and ProTools. If you're going to use the DAW program that comes with the interface, then it really comes down to which DAW you like. The interfaces are pretty much the same. If you can read up on the DAW's with each, then you can decide.

From my understanding, Ableton Live is oriented more for electronica, loops, hip-hop, etc. I'm not sure about Studio One, though I'm guessing it's similar to Cubase, Sonar and PT. Do some research and decide for yourself.

eeny meeny miny moe. :)

I am going to be recording hip hop. The studio one is like a rip off though the cd included is " Studio one : artist" not the full version.
 
Reaper is cheap and free to demo.

Nah man, I'm from New York. But I need interface wise advice.
