realistically about the same

the Scarlett is more ubiquitous and usually gets shipped with some decent plugins.

The old Scarletts were utter garbage (but that didn't stop retards from recommending them and making them a meme), but the new ones are not bad.
Anyway, in that price range, I'd probably get a Yamaha AG03/06, just because it has such nice connectivity and features.

Get the one with better software. I had an avid/m'audio one and the driver would crash or BSOD me. Bad times.

focusrite:
actually good preamps with lots of headroom and ad/da converters
roland:
cheap components inside, basically just "muh famous brand"

the ur22mkii

If you were producing to the level of professionalism that it mattered, you wouldn't be using them, much less asking here. Just go for whichever's cheapest.

Get an Apogee or UAD, seriously.
If not Focusrite.
Roland is not even top 10

do Americans really look like this?

true, 1st generation had way too little headroom. anything with mid-high gain would clip like a madman
2nd gen forward is damn good though

search for posts on gearslutz, there's a lot of knowledge there.
I hope those have usb 3 at least, or else they're absolute trash

They're the same.

what do you guys think of
Behringer UMC204HD
PreSonus AudioBox USB 96
Steinberg UR22MKII

i have no clue about any but are available in my city :(

Apogee Duet or BTFO

Basically this. Focusrite all the way. They just sound great for one.

Audient iD4 because it doesn't skimp on the preamps, which is pretty much the most important part of these things.

Yes for starters
No
No

they all "sound" the same you fucking placebophile

Steinberg is Yamaha, so I think is the best choice.
Behringer is always crap and PreSonus is Ok'ish, I do prefer the Focusright preamps over it

I apologise for oversimplifying what I meant by noiseless preamps

whats wrong with usb 2.0?

Nothing, he's bullshitting. There are almost no USB 3 soundcards anyway. There's one by Zoom and that's pretty much it.

Bandwidth and latency

You're not sending 1080p video over it.

you don't know what I'm using it for, asshole.

>His gear doesn't use usb 3.1 gen 2 for maximum audio clarity.

>audiophiles
just use onboard sound it's exactly the same

thanks guys

>doesn't realize that it's an xlr interface for microphones
You don't belong here

To all those focusrite hipster's,

"That one here, is better"

I bought a scarlett solo literally "because it was red and looked nice"
Works fine to drive my microphone and I use it as a DAC

better not to be a poorfag

no

i had the scarlett but it kept skipping even when just playing back audio so i returned it, dunno if it was a faulty one or if it was something more sinister

is 2nd generation focusrite good? or is it 3rd?

rme make a usb 2.0 adat interface that does 66 channels of audio.

Dunno about the Roland but I would get a Steinberg instead of the focusrite. Have a 2nd Gen 2i2 and the drivers kept giving me BSOD. Steinberg drivers been stable as a mountain.

Also Linux friendly.

Roland ftw

aww sowwy baby >.<
mommys big twitch streamer ;o;
you're already the "next big thing" in mamas eyes

Look at this poorfag brainlet deflecting lol
>b-but my dinky little $30 logitech desk mic rivals any xlr mic!!

um no there's a difference I work with music you're a fool.

If it has a USB it'll work on Linux

>Audient iD4 because it doesn't skimp on the preamps, which is pretty much the most important part of these things.

Disagree. Latency is very important as well and audient kinda sucks there.

>I can hear your nightmares

yeah I'm sure those extra milliseconds make all the difference to your 2 twitch viewers
faggot

audio brainlet here, what are these used for? Connecting nice speakers to PCs?

Among other things, like being a mic input and preamp, headphone amp, and midi in/out

maybe you audio gurus could help an audio brainlet out. These KEF speakers, could I connect these to my PC/a monitor with just an audio out port?

I have the ur22mkII, can recommend

I also have one. Can recommend.

what does Jow Forums think of the axe i/o?

RME or bust

Aren't they all scams anyways? How much could it possibly cost to transistor-amplify a signal so it can be recorded by a computer when you ALREADY HAVE paid for a good mic?

Kinda. The hardware itself costs very little (at least the generic chink stuff OP posted), but things get more costly when it comes to developing good drivers.
That's why a soundcard with good drivers (like an RME) costs much more, even though the hardware itself is only marginally more expensive to make.

I have the 2i2 myself, it's pretty good
