Advice for first audio interface

[Tom_Autobot]

Don't touch any of those interfaces, they all have horrible drivers and high latency times.

Focusrite Scarlett range is great for starters, or the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6.

With a better interface you can use many more plugins and instruments and not have a massive delay when you play notes in on the keyboard.

Use more plugins with a higher quality interface? Really?

Yep... the is a massive difference, you can easily double or triple the amount of plugins and instruments you can run at low latencies if you use certain interfaces rather than others.

This post will explain it all
