Hey @ToniBarth@troet.cafe
I saw the Audient accessible interfaces on your audio software page. I'm considering getting my first interface and was wondering if you'd recommend these to a newbie, and if which one, like the EVO or iD series? For instance. I want to connect a Shure SM 58 as input and eventually a MIDI keyboard or a guitar later, and obviously basic studio headphones as output. I also found the Focusrite Scarlett 4th gen interfaces, what do you think about these?
I appreciate your help.
btw we could speak German too if that's easier, so feel free in whatever you feel like.
@jonathan859@someplace.social Audient interfaces are great for newbies, the EVO line got a nice smart gain feature that isn't built into the iD line that you might like. I've heard really good things about the Focusrite interfaces and their accessibility, but haven't seen one in person yet. If you decide to go for one of those, you'll have to make sure to get one of the Gen4 ones, as older gens don't come with accessible software. Both brands will be able to power said devices just fine.
@ToniBarth@troet.cafe So yup, I've decided to go with a Focusrite 4th gen 2i2 thing, apparently the 4th gen features an auto gain-like feature as well, and if I understand it right, they guarantee accessibility or at least are committed to it, so things should go well. If you want I can keep you updated, will probably order from Thomann soon.
@jonathan859@someplace.social Well, same goes for Audient, I'd always be cautious about those claims as its mostly just advertising and alot of teasing, at least for many companies, but Focusrite seem to do some things right in regards of accessibility, so let's hope they're just getting started. Enjoy your new interface.
