Focusrite 4i4 3rd vs Zoom UAC-2 vs Roland rubix22

[donethur]

Hello all, I had to renew my computer and it seems my old M Audio 1010 rack is not longer compatible with newest mother boards, because it is PCI and PCI express is the common thing now. My doubt is: if you need an interface for controlling libraries only (piano), and listening music with your computer, which one of the subject would you pick?. I really can’t decide. I am looking for a good latency (convincing) and good sound therefore.

Thanks a lot!.

If you’re on PC avoid focusrite

Some modern motherboards have decent audio, decent but not studio quality.

I would use a PCIe to PCI adapter

You may need a case with vertical slots

Only RME has good latency in USB.

Thanks. What’s the reason for that?.

Thanks for your answer. I was considering this option, only that I have to import the device it seems, as it is not locally available. I concerned about the possibility that latency or something is affected with these adapters.

Rgds,

Rgds,

You are welcome, no problem with latency.

driver issues and audio pops and clicks get recorded in the signal path

I see. I just want to control piano libraries, produce my compositions, and listening music. I won’t record audio directly. I was worried mainly by latency.
