I bought a PreSonus AudioBox USB, I've had no complaints with it. It costs around $150 USD it works on both Mac and PC, I can vouch for that as I have ran it on both before.

There are lots of options around that range. The PRESONUS has a nice sound to it, as well as the apogee. If possible, try a few in this price range before making a decision. The line 6 stuff is a good value for money, but the preamp in it is not quite as nice as Apogee. This topic comes up quite often so a quick search of the forum should yield tons of results. As for recording in general...
GETTING STARTED WITH HOME RECORDING? Here are a couple of links that will hopefully help here is my thread on FREE software for home recording. In the home setting, getting your guitar signal in to the computer is the crucial bit. You can get really good results using plugins/emulation etc. OF course, using nice microphones on really nice amps in a great room will be better. But until you work all that out, here's a place to start for free using software. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=36238 Better yet, here is TONY MIROS collection of recording classes. A series of great posts on nearly every aspect of recording. These go beyond home recording but all of it is great info. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...hp?showforum=74 Finally, here is the RECORDING section of the wiki with some amazing resources and info! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Recording There are tons of great resources in our WIKI. Fran does a great job with it! Todd Hallo, i am looking forward too, to an usb audio interface for iMac especially. Apogee Line 6 Tascam ESI M -Audio there are so many of them what is good for private use and lasts a long time? |

Thanks a lot Todd !
I will check this links and will go next week to city to try out some interfaces ,so far its possible . By now i sight Apogee stuff but will take some time to make a decision .

Unless you're recording a band, you don't need more than a few inputs for convenience ~ my Presonus burned out earlier in the month and I did a lot of research looking for a replacement and I almost bought this one.
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Scarlett2i2 (their website: http://www.focusrite.com/products/audio_interfaces) I opted for the emu 0404 pcie instead, but only because I didn't need a microphone pre-amp and I wanted something with good thru-put (faster than USB/Firewire) since my computer is old and processor power occasionally caused drop-outs. It works like charm. Both have a good routing interface Chris -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Some great points! The scarlett is a great little box. A pretty new model tool
The emu is great if you are using a tower. If you are using a laptop, not the first choice as their are no slots to fit the card in. So laptop or tower and the speed of your computer come in to play. USB interfaces lean a bit more on the cpu as do firewire interfaces. But on a newish computer, usb/firewire is usually just fine.

Todd I just bought the Scarlett 8i6, I like it, but I don't know how after recording in Reaper to put effects on my tracks. I record with distortion, but it comes out sounding all clear. I use Guitar Rig for the distortion. -------------------- Keep on playing!

I use Guitar Rig for the distortion. Todd! Help needed in aisle 4! The AI sends whatever signal it receives directly to your DAW. Because you're not using a pre-amp, it will record the clean signal from your guitar. To apply the distortion, you have to add guitar rig to your recorded track, and that plugin will apply the effect to the output of your track (it will not change the audio file that was recorded). does this help? -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
