One of the most important pieces of gear for anyone who wants to record and produce music is the audio interface<\/strong>. As the link between audio signals and a computer<\/strong> or smart device, it plays an essential role in any studio. Accordingly, there are many different models to choose from, and you\u2019ve probably already asked yourself: Which audio interface do I need<\/strong>, and which one is best for me?<\/p>\n\n\n

Audio interfaces \u2013 the most important features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many criteria for distinguishing between various interfaces. The most important one is the number of inputs and outputs<\/strong> that can be used simultaneously. In the simplest case, a stereo output is sufficient. If you really only work in-the-box and never want to record your own samples or microphone signals, all you need to do is connect a pair of active speakers to the outputs. But make sure there is a headphone jack!<\/p>\n\n\n

Different types of inputs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, you\u2019ll probably be very happy to have inputs. Important to know for anyone wanting to record acoustic instruments, speech, vocals, or ambient sounds for sound design: microphones can only be connected to microphone inputs<\/strong>. Line inputs<\/strong>, on the other hand, are used to connect the outputs of external mic preamps, synths, effects, or mixers.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you want to record in the best quality possible, we recommend investing in a high-quality interface with boutique-class mic preamps. But don\u2019t worry: as many interfaces are quite affordable these days, you can get great-sounding devices for very little money<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An additional instrument input<\/strong> is particularly useful if you\u2019d like to record electric guitar and bass. This allows you to use software effects and virtual amp simulations directly without any further effort!<\/p>\n\n\n

Audio interfaces \u2013 the number of channels makes a big difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To record a miked drum kit or an entire band, you need a lot of inputs. If you want to run sounds from the computer through hardware effects units or an analog summing mixer, you also need a lot of outputs. This is where audio interfaces with a high channel count<\/strong> come into play. Many of them can also be cascaded or expanded with additional inputs and outputs<\/strong> using digital formats such as ADAT!<\/p>\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget about monitoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring is another important consideration. As a bare minimum, you\u2019re going to want a volume knob for turning your speakers up or down. In addition to this, some interfaces allow you to mute your speakers, switch between different pairs, listen in mono, or even talk to the musicians in another room via a talkback microphone<\/strong>. Do you need to record several musicians simultaneously? Then multiple built-in headphone amplifiers are very helpful!<\/p>\n\n\n

In order to sing or play along to music, it must be possible to adjust the ratio between the playback and the microphone signal \u2013 this is known as direct monitoring<\/strong>. To prevent the monitor signal from sounding too dry, some interfaces are equipped with their own built-in effects processors<\/strong>, which allow you to add reverb to the vocal track, for example. Many interfaces come with a dedicated control app that lets you conveniently control these settings from the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you have limited space or want to use the audio interface on the go, small desktop interfaces<\/strong> are a good choice. These often do not require an additional power supply and many are also compatible with smart devices such as tablets.
