Hello folks,
Following on from THIS thread which is basically becoming a thread about setting up a whole home studio  I'd like to ask your opinion on which audio interface to buy. I want to be able to record two mics and a direct guitar at the same time, a reamping option would be nice but not vital. I am currently using a Presonus mic preamp, if the new interface can do as good job then I can sell the Presonus unless you advise otherwise. Cost under or around £300 Thanks for your help folks Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.
