Yeah, they are the best budget interfaces or even good for any starter.

      @@generalawareness101 If it got 8 inputs it IS. How he can put the NI interface here is beyond me.. its 2 in/out at the double price and no better than the Presonus, wich has midi in out and much more robust build quality. Only thing you miss in the presonus is a couple meters and a spdif connection if you have some gear with digital i/o.The 192khz is prety irrelevant. It only ads extra load on your pc processing it, makes files bigger and no detectable difference unless you are 10 years old and still have perfect hearing, and even then its practically not detectable. There is absolutely NO idea in tracking in higher than 48Khz/24bit mode, and most won't be able to hear the diff comming from 44.1khz/16bit either. The reasons to go so high is highly theoretic nerd talk about the levels of different harmonic distortions and how high lvl they are, and the fact is that theoretically the human ear isn't sensible enough to hear these small levels anyway even with lower sample rates than CD quality.
      So for those that wonder .. just set your gear for 44.1 or 48khz/16. You save valuable processing power and disk space that can be used for more tracks and more effects if you like most others don't have a Threadripper with 32 corees and 256gb ram ...

    If you want the midi outputs just upgrade to the Focusrite 4i4. I was tricked into thinking these interfaces had such great preamps So I got the Focusrite 2i2. I'm not a newbie so I know how my stuff is supposed to sound. Luckily I still had my old equipment so I was just going to add my mic preamp & realized there weren't any ports left because I had my monitors plugged into the back of the interface, so I got to throw away $230 on the 4i4 just for 2 ports, smfh man...#DISGUSTED

    • @DexxterClarkMusic

      to be clear: audio interface and sound card are the same thing, it is just a nicer word.
      Although some vocal, less-tech savvy music producers seem to be under the impression otherwise.
      All sound cards have latency.
      But some more than others.
      Choose a low-latency sound card.
      Often latencies are mentioned with the specs of a sound card.
      But if you introduce a lot of latency in your daw with a lot of plugins (lookahead of compressors for examples), even the best sound card in the world can't help you latency wise.

  • @kymcainday6677

    For audio quality, Audient vs Focusrite, i'll go for AUDIENT .. Focusrite's 192khz sample rate is not a big thing for me, it's not even really noticeable to most people. Sample rate, for me, is just like frame rate on videos which having too much is not so pleasing that's why 24fps is the most recommended for cinematic video shots. 96khz sample rate of audient is the right range for me. PLUS, the audients high quality preamp, it is comparably quieter than the focusrite. The focusrite is a bit bright for me. I love the smooth sound of AUDIENT.
