Audio interfaces are at the cutting edge of technology and offer musicians, producers and DJs a wide range of functions that can be used both in the <g id=\"gid_4\"><g id=\"gid_5\"><g id=\"gid_6\">recording studio<\/g><\/g><\/g> as well as on the road. <\/p>\n\n<p>The audio interface is a basic tool in most studios and acts as an intermediary between computers, instruments and speakers or headphones. Whether you <g id=\"gid_0\"><g id=\"gid_1\"><g id=\"gid_2\">guitar<\/g><\/g><\/g> recording <g id=\"gid_3\"><g id=\"gid_4\"><g id=\"gid_5\">electronic music<\/g><\/g><\/g> or making podcasts, an audio interface is one of the most important pieces of kit you&#8217;ll need. <\/p>\n\n<p>As with most music equipment, prices and features can vary, so it&#8217;s best to have a really clear idea of what you need before you buy the best audio interface for your needs. In addition, understanding how you might expand your studio or digital vinyl system in the future can help you choose the right audio interface today. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use audio interfaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Our audio interfaces are easy to use, they connect to your computer via USB and are phantom powered without the need for an external power source. This means you can just as easily use a <g id=\"gid_0\"><g id=\"gid_1\"><g id=\"gid_2\">microphone<\/g><\/g><\/g> to your USB audio interface as easily as a guitar, synth or turntable. <g id=\"gid_3\"><g id=\"gid_4\"><g id=\"gid_5\">turntable<\/g><\/g><\/g>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Audio channels are indicated by I\/O, which stands for input\/output. Entry-level products have one or two of these, while higher-end audio interface mixer systems offer advanced connectivity and routing. If you&#8217;re okay with overdubbing, then this isn&#8217;t a problem, but if you want to record a lot of instruments at once, this could be an issue.  <\/p>\n\n<p>If you want to overdub, it is important to consider the latency &#8211; the delay between the creation of the sound and its processing by the computer. The lower the latency, the more &#8220;live&#8221; the playback of a recording is. All KOMPLETE KONTROL audio interfaces are designed for ultra-low latency, making overdubbing, live performances and setting up more complex routings a breeze.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Audio interface manufacturer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Antelope<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>APOLLO TWIN<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arturia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Audient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avid Pro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ESI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EVO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focusrite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IK MULTIMEDIA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lynx<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>M-Audio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MOTU<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native Instruments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RME Fireface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/musikinstrumentenhersteller\/roland\/\" title=\"Roland\">Roland<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steinberg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tascam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Universal Audio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yamaha<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group musiknerd-aff has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0f0\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buy Audio Interfaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: Music Store DE from awin.com -->\n\n<a rel=\"sponsored\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?s=3482292&#038;v=63816&#038;q=474445&#038;r=1615850\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cshow.php?s=3482292&#038;v=63816&#038;q=474445&#038;r=1615850\" border=\"0\"\/>\n<\/a>\n\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: Music Store DE from awin.com -->\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Secure audio interface now<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fc4fd283 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-fill has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=63816&amp;awinaffid=1615850&amp;clickref=Audio+Interface&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicstore.de%2Fde_DE%2FEUR%2Fsearch%3FSearchTerm%3Daudio%2Binterface\" style=\"border-radius:0px;background-color:#566876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">buy tickets now*<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>* Affiliate link<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are audio interfaces?
