Hi all. Just after a bit of advice. I'm getting an mpc studio soon and want to mainly use it when I'm not at home. I've got a newish laptop with good spec but the built in sound card isn't much. Obviously I need an external audio interface (usb). I was looking at the focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or similar price range and size. Low latency is essential as we all know.
This any good for a portable setup and how will it all connect up?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi, I have the studio and the native instruments Komplete Audio 6. It has the best no latency better then the 2i2 and it is 199 now at Musicians Friend. I had the 2i2 and I also have the PreSonus AudioBox 22VSL. The 2i2 had the worst latency and the 22VSL was a bit better but no where near as good as the Komplete 6. The Komplete has more options as for ins and outs and it sounds clean. Im going to be picking up a second one. I have had the Komplete for 3 years no issues. Hope this helps you with picking a sound card.

Thanks for all your replies. That rme baby face looks nice. It's £419 which is about $650. I see it sells for nearly $800 in the US. Usually it's us in the UK that get robbed on audio/electrical stuff.
