Hi all, Being a total newbie ( I think that`s what I am ) to all of this, I`m about to take the plunge into a home studio. My son uses Mixcraft 6 at school so that`s what I`ll get. However as I`m starting to collect gear, I need some advice on an audio interface I`m thinking of buying. I`ve been told that the Roland Quad Capture unit is a very good one. Opinions? Something better out there? Thanks for your help and patience to all

Hi and welcome into our insane world

First I'd suggest looking at what you are ultimately wanting to achieve in recording - number of inputs/outputs. If you're just recording yourself 2 inputs would be fine, but if you intend recording bands, you'll be wanting more.

Can't say I've had experience with the Roland Quad Capture but the brand speaks for itself. A few of our regulars (myself included) use Focusrite interfaces - a good start is this one

Here's the recommendation from Acoustica..

...and don't worry about being a 'Really old guy' - we have a very well established 'Old Farts Club'

Thanks for your input. I`ll be recording myself and my son as well. My only concern (in terms of an audio interface) would be expandability in future. I`ve always been told buy more than you need (within reason), or go with the "to much is probably just right" theory. Thanks again

Have a look at the Focusrite interface. I have one of these packages and they are great value for the money. The interface is the award winning 2i2.

Thanks, I`ll check that out.
