semtek Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 My Brother plays Guitar, Sax and Drums. We're going to get him an audio interface for his PC. Budget is around $120. Any suggestions? It's not a lot I know but I'm hoping to get him something approaching decent S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeDunn Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I would look into the LIne 6 UX2 or UX1. They're fairly inexpensive, and you do get a lot out of them. they also have guitar and bass amp modeling as well as Pre Amp modeling. The modeling is done in the computer, so you should make sure the computer can handle it. hope this helps Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashermusic Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Do him a favor and get him a firewire audio interface not USB. USB is simply not a reliable enough protocol for audio IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titwillow Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 spot on asher, i have always (and continue to!) hate usb audio interfaces! i'm sure i've seen some cheap firewire ones around nowadays, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 A little over your budget (seems to go for $155 to $199)... but if you can afford it, go for the Presonus Inspire: http://www.presonus.com/inspire1394.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semtek Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Thanks for the advice. Inspire looks good but his laptop is oldskool and don't have firewire. Line 6 suggestions are interesting, I'll check those out, Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titwillow Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 if the laptops old and doesnt have firewire, MAKE SURE the usb ports are USB2!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semtek Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 saw a Lexicon one that I quite liked the look of. Does anyone have any experience of using Lexicon interfaces? Cheers, S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
