[Perform-talk] Audio Interfaces

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. Focusrite, Macki, and mark of the unicorn would be my recommendations.

I'll followup with an e mail containing specific makes/models later on today.

Does your machine have a firewire port and if so, does it have a texas
instruments chipset? Generally you get better performance with
firewire than you do for USB, especially on a windows pc...

I'll give you recommendations for both USB and firewire interfaces in
any case...

Cameron.
