Audio Interface wizard/buyers guide

raithza

I'm currently looking to buy some toys for a home recording (I'm happy with my guitar/amp/fx so I need SOMETHING to GAS on...) and in my research on interfaces I came across this...

http://www.recordingreview.com/soundcard/soundcard_wizard.php

Quick little wizard which asks you a few question about your needs then recommends a bunch of interfaces. Cool resource ?

On a related note, if anyone has a USB audio interface that they want to sell... ?

Have you seen the doctor about this? I don't think it's normal.. In my 11 years of playing, it's NEVER happened to me.. :O

EDIT - I just did the little quiz and it analysed me as a fast track pro, which is what I brought a couple weeks ago ? GREAT website ?

This is where take2's long delivery times come in handy - I find most GAS urges disappear while I'm waiting for something to be delivered..

A great little wizard actually. The E-MU 0404 USB looks pretty cool: http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=610&subcategory=611&product=15185
I see they are available at a good price at....hold your breath...take2.co.za: http://more.take2.co.za/moreusa-creative-professional-e-mu-0404-usb-2-0-sound-card-24-bit-192-b000ixne3e.html

I have an Alesis IO2 USB: http://www.alesis.com/io2
It's built like a tank and has taken all the abuse I can hurl at it as I use it for testing gear in my worskshop. I give it 10/10!
I think they have been discontinued though, but I have seen a few pop up on gumtree at great prices.

Good luck with your search raithza!
