USB Audio/Midi Interface
Hi
I want to buy a USB Audio/Midi Interface to connect my laptop (XP Pro), a synth (Yamaha CS2x) and a mic for recording guitar & vocals. I am using Sonar software. I'm considering these: M-Audio USB Audiophile - I'm concerned that it only uses USB1. Is this reliable for recording and playing back audio? Behringer BCA 2000 - Uses USB2, but some people have told me that Behringers do not sound good and have usability issues. Can anyone recommend which of these, or any others which would be good? Also, is there anything else I would need in my simple set up to get some basic home recording going? Thanks a lot! Jeff PS My laptop has USB2 but not firewire. |

Thanks a lot Sven & Mike.
Your replies were very helpful. I wasn't aware of the Tascam before but it looks ideal so I'm going to get one. Cheers Jeff |

You'll be OK with one of those - I have one for a very small portable system for use with my laptop. It works well for what I use it for. Getting low latency can be a bit of a challenge for playing soft-synths real time, but overall, its a solid choice. Have you tried to get lower latency than 256 samples (in drivers' dialog)? How? Some registry hacks? BTW, just looked at registry - there is a key named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\US122\Parameters and under this is a value named AsioBufferSize I give it a try at night when I'm home.
