I’ve used both their hardware and software products. To some that just sounds like great marketing hype but to others it’s just great branding. The Apollo was called a game-changer when it first game out. So if you’re looking for a great interface for mixing work then this is a great bet. The highs sounded harsher through the computer sound card and there was a noticeable lack of depth. I actually did an A/B test where I bounced the same mix through the Duet and then again through the MacBook. It was great for minimal recording work with the two mic inputs and their A/D converters sound amazing. Overall it’s still a great choice if you’re starting out or like working out of your backpack. However, it has limitations because you can’t expand or slave it to another interface through ADAT or S/PDIF. It’s cheap and small but still has great preamps.įocusrite is a great brand and you see from the reviews that everyone is really happy with it. The Scarlett is a great starter interface or for somebody that’s on the move. If you’re just starting out or don’t need more than two inputs, then the following are great options. Here are some of the audio interfaces I found on my quest. The Duet is great at what it does, but you’re pretty much stuck with your two inputs and great A/D converters. But I also wanted something that had more mic inputs for tracking drums or bringing it along for on-location recording. I could always get another Duet because I liked my old one. In my hunt for an interface the characteristics were pretty flexible. Sometimes retailers have different bundles with extra goodies thrown in so it’s always a good idea to do some comparison shopping. Compare – After I’ve exhausted Amazon I’ll look at other music retailers to find the best price.So if I can disregard all the bad reviews as non-applicable I’ll check out the rest of them. I always look at the one-star reviews first because some one-star reviews can be from dumb people making stupid mistakes. Read Reviews – From there it’s a matter of reading the reviews, the features it has and if there’s anything else that comes included.Then I filter by price range and then finally by the characteristics I’m looking for. 3-4 stars and up are the only things that make the cut. It’s all about narrowing your choices down so you can shop more efficiently. Filter – No, I’m not talking about filtering the guitar at 100 Hz.I don’t always end up buying through Amazon but I use their shopping filters to get closer to what I want. Find your retailer – In most cases I use as the first stop for all my purchases.Here’s how I find almost anything online, whether it’s a new interface or a blender. I mean, so many of them are similar so it’s hard to choose. With the massive amount of different interfaces out there the question always becomes, which one? How I Choose Audio Interfaces (Or any gear for that matter…) I was wanting something different anyway so it was a good excuse to spend some money. So I used the “opportunity” and went hunting for a new interface. I had a really nice Apogee Duet which now functions as a really nice paperweight for all the papers I don’t have… I had the unfortunate experience of my interface dying on me the other day.
