VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

sounddguy · Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 2:02 pm Post subject: Entry Level USB ADDA

I know most everyone here is long past the entry level gear level, but I'm trying to help a young lady get a jump start for minimum investment.
This would be more for auditions than actual production.

Any suggestions for an under $100 USB interface with phantom power.

I've also got some old stuff here, but would prefer to start
her on something with modern drivers etc.

(If you don't want to admit you know something on the forum just
drop me note. )

henry at my user name dot com.

Thanks

Nothing new under $100.

A M-Audio fast track is $150.

Look around on ebay or craigalist for something used.

I have the Fast Track Pro in my studio, and it works great. You might be able to do ok with the Fast Track or MobilePre.

The Fast Track Pro. It's almost a must-own.

$100? Push it to at least $150 and get a M Hobo Tounge

if nothing else.

I still use my trusty ART Tube USB Pre. Swap out the tube for a better sound.

M-Audio Fast Track is a great entry-level interface. The Behringer X1204 USB mixer is another good option at the basic level.

i agree with brad - spend the extra $50 and go with the micport pro ... even when/if she upgrades it'll be useful elsewhere.

Totally agree with Mr. Kafer. Find a nice NOS tube or Groove Tubes 12AX7A to put in, and go to town. Smile

Shure X2u for $100 budget is your best bet.
