I saved up and got this this for recording all my vocals.

You don't need no monitors. Just use these, it's better

Me, I use an RME UFX.




Why do you need an audio interface?

There are several reasons to use a dedicated audio interface, rather than the sound card built into your computer. Technically speaking, a sound card is an audio interface, but its limited sound quality and minimal I/O make it less than ideal for recording. Many sound cards only have a consumer-grade stereo line level input, a headphone output, and possibly also a consumer-grade stereo line level output. Electromagnetic and radio interference, jitter, and excessive latency all degrade or negatively affect audio both on the way in and on the way out. It’s also impossible to track a full drum kit (let alone a full band) with only two channels of input. Sound cards are great for hooking up a pair of Hi-Fi speakers and playing back compressed audio, but you’re going to need a reliable audio interface for recording and monitoring production-quality audio.

Ok i feel like scooby doo and "those meddling kids" when they break the mystery! Lol ok so it was a misunderstanding.

No starman, it was a misunderstanding unless you can't read.
Either way your just attacking someone for no reason.
I don't remember anyone asking you anything or even the last time you have added something to this forum besides trying to heckle people.

They guy made a post because he found a good workflow for him. He was having issues with latency before, not then.
The thread was flooded with people giving thier twocent and offering solution to a nonexistant issue...

The point is there was no issue! Everything from that point on was a misunderstanding.

Do you not understand English? Do you know how to read and comprehend?
Or is all you do is heckle and attack people doing a he'll of a lot more than you?

Talk about lacking commen sense, you need to look in a mirror bro.

It was no misunderstanding. I can appreciate your attempt at some futile form of mediation but it's unnecessary.

Everything's been explained several times over. The f*cking moron he is still chooses to be ignorant or what is more likely, can't mentally grasp terminology or rationalization behind why one would need / benefits of an interface/soundcard.

@Lampdog what point are you trying to make by copying and pasting that? Did you really think I'm telling the f*cking guy to get a soundblaster soundcard or something?

I get where he was coming from is all I'm trying to say Richie. Anything beyond that is a confusing mess.

My pov: if I was happy I found something cool that works and people start attacking me and telling me I'm wrong and need to spend money I might pissed too.

The trash talking and terminology/ communications are real issues and there but it beyond any nonexistent issue in the first place. It does come across childish and unneeded. He had no right to attack people trying to help but just look a all the attacks on this thread from everyone for what reason? I'm guessing the original thread was very similar to this.

I know it's "futile" but it's my attempt to make sense of this. Which is waste of time really for any of the parties involved.

My first interface back in the day was...........

I knew back then a normal soundcard or even the mobo audio wouldn't cut it.
SB fit right into the bay above the cd drive. :mrgreen:

Don't want or need and interface, that's cool. The benefits of an interface though....
Take notice senpai :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:worthy:
An external interface definitely have better AD/DA converters than a sound card.
Like l said before there were 3 different problems people thought. Was having, latency, quantizing and jitters :Sigh:

And my solution is solved. Im enjoying the Live and my DAW more.
