Interface Buyer's Guide (part 1): Free Ableton Live 12 Music Production Class! Delivered Daily.

If you want a really nice one that's not so expensive but has a lot of inputs, check out the company Mark of the Unicorn or MOTU M O T U. I really like their stuff. They're less expensive but still really quite nice things. Now I will also tell you the number one unit that people are buying right now that I see students buying is. And they are loving, they're really affordable and they're really reliable and they sound great is this one, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Now this 2i2 is kind of a. Almost standard nomenclature. Now two inputs, two outputs is what that's really saying. So here's the unit. It's got two inputs. It's probably got a pre on the back. Look at the back. Yeah, so it's got two mic inputs on the back and two line inputs on the front. That means just like a guitar kind of cable. It's got a big volume knob and some settings for your inputs. It's got. Let's look at the back. It's got two outputs. It's pretty simple. It's got. Looks like USB C power. No thrills. But this one sounds good, it's reliable and it's 200 bucks. These are really popular everywhere. I see them all over the place right now because they have these red casing. So I see students carrying these around. We've bought some of these for some of the smaller rooms at the studio that students are using. So these are great. You're not really going to find anything cheaper than this. There are bigger versions of this. Like there's a 4i4 or a 4i2, I can't remember. So something to consider if you want to buy one and the max you can afford is 200 bucks. This is a great option for you. Now I'll just add here. The website I am on is sweetwater.com I do not have any affiliation with Sweetwater and get no kickbacks from what you buy from them. So just saying. And I'll remind you, you may not need an interface.
