My first audio interface was a Line 6 Toneport UX1, i dont know what everyone else thinks of them but there excelent for guitar and bass. The higher models come with phantom power, and they all come with alberton live lite.

However, its compleatly up to you! whats other peoples suggestions for a biginners interface?
