A new entry in to the "Entry Level" interface/soundcard market looks to be very very spiff. The FOCUSRITE SCARLETT SOLO!!!
For about $100 you can get the USB equipped SOLO with one XLR/combo jack. It also works with your mobile devices. For the money, I can't think of a better option. http://us.focusrite.com/usb-audio-interfaces/scarlett-solo

It is cool to see this version of the audio interface.
What I have noticed that lacks on the market of audio interfaces is a high quality audio interface with only 1 input which could potentially allow for higher quality components and features for lower price. Usually, when you go up the scale the number of inputs increases. I think there should be a market for folks that just want one input (to record a mic or guitar, one channel at the time) but in really high quality (like RME Babyface etc). -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

There is one product that comes to mind for that segment
 The APOGEE ONE. Great mic pre, quality sound, one input, street price about $250.http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/one  or the JAM which records at 96k!!! One channel. About $150 street. http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/jam-96k  QUOTE (Bogdan Radovic @ Aug 30 2014, 04:42 PM) It is cool to see this version of the audio interface.

Yeah - those look very interesting. It seems marketing is opening up in that direction?
Even though I use Mac, I still do recording on Windows platform via bootcamp as I never made a switch. Also it is very cool to see that iPad is becoming a viable device for music recording. This can be really useful to touring musicians who don't want to interrupt their songwriting flow or just musicians looking to compose in a new environment. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
