We have picked the Recording Interfaces that Producers Actually Want! Picked by professional producers, for producers.
There’s no doubt that the world of recording can be overwhelming. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of different studio setups available and it can be extremely difficult to know where to start.
We have whittled down our huge range of Studio Equipment to just 5 Recording Interfaces - all providing a simple solution to start building your home studio with. Perfect to record with ease.
The world of recording doesn’t have to be confusing. By purchasing a Recording Interface, you are giving your computer/laptop or even Smart Device (*on selected models) the ability plug in a guitar, keyboard or microphone with a simple one-product solution.
With plenty of Recording Interfaces out there, it’s important to choose something that is easy to use and has decent audio quality. Each Interface we have selected offers multiple inputs, meaning that you can plug in a guitar and a microphone simultaneously, so you can record yourself singing and playing the guitar at the same time, for example.
Each interface has Combi Inputs, meaning the one port is compatible with both a guitar/instrument cable and XLR microphone cable.
We have ensured that which ever interface you opt for is easy to use and comes with everything you need to get recording straight out the box.
The most popular interface we sell. The third generation of Scarlett Interfaces, which is super fast and low-latency. It features AIR technology, which emulates the vintage ISA preamp, which adds some “saturation” to the high end as if you were using this legendary preamp.
All the controls are “top facing”, meaning that when the interface is sitting on a desk, all the controls face upwards so they’re easier to access. The ID44 comes with software to reassign useful functions to the knobs, as well as featuring some of the highest quality preamps on the market. This means the recording quality is crystal clear.
This has two separate groups of outputs, meaning that if you have two different pairs of monitors, you can reference between the different pairs for more balanced sounding mixes. There are two headphone outputs, so you can listen to your mixes with someone else and not disturb anyone. It also comes with software including; Ableton Live Lite, Machine Essentials, Replika, Mod Pack, Monark, and Solid Bus Comp, so you have everything you need to record and produce tracks, with synths, effects and more.
Perfect for those that want to record with an iOS Smart Device, as there is a dedicated connection on the back of the interface for iPhone/iPad. Presonus include their StudioOne Artist recording software and Capture Duo app. This allows you to record on the move with your Smart Device/Capture Duo, then open the session with StudioOne Artist on your computer. The iTwo feature MIDI I/O, so if you use external hardware and incorporate them with your recordings. Watch our Drums and Digital Piano videos to see which will sync via MIDI.
The newest release of all the options and arguably the highest spec. It has a dedicated DI input for Guitar and Bass instruments, whilst still giving you access to the x2 combi inputs. Universal Audio make some of the best Plug-ins on the market, many of which are included for free.
