Q: Help!!! The best audio interface for Logic Studio

Hey y'all,

 

 

I'm looking for an audio interface. Requirements are: microphone- (XLR), instrument- (1/4") and midi-connectors. I'd like to record everything 1 by 1 all by myself, without audio playback/slowing-down issues. I'm quite new with recording and have no idea which one suits my system and software the best. I want to record as easy as possible and with the most beautiful results available. Price range of up to €500.

 

My MacBook Pro:

Mac OS X 10.6.8

Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7

Geheugen 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

 

My software: Logic Studio

 

 

Thanks!

Logic Studio, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Audio interface for Logic Studio

Sorry for the wait, but thanks for the info! I found out that my keyboard actually has a usb output, so I won't be needing Midi connectivity after all. You were right about Sennheiser, after doing some research I found out that AKG is pretty good in head- and microphones. I think I'm going for an AKG headphone, AKG or Blue microphone and the Apogee Duet 2 as audio interface. What do you guys think?

    I forgot to mention that I'm actually also in search of a new microphone. Right now I'm using the MXL DRK condenser microphone, which isn't all that good. I heard Sennheiser microphones are good. Any advice on this one as well? Thanks a bunch!

     

    The title must be "The best audio interface and microphone for Logic Studio".

     

    PS: audio interface and microphone for €500 or $700.

    If Midi connectivity is important: Focusrite Saffire 6 (USB). Check out the User Guide:

     

    http://www.focusrite.com/downloads/saffire_6_usb/

     

    Otherwise, I would strongly recommend Mackie's Onyx Blackjack, especially when also out gigging. Check out the product page and you can also download an Owner's Manual:

     

    http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxblackjack/

     

    I use the Mackie . User Guides/Manuals are a great way of checking out detail about a product when deciding what to buy.

     

    I thought that Sennheiser were well known for headphones, not microphones.

    I went for the RME Babyface over the Duet 2. And loving every minute of it. It is superb and has worked flawlessly with Logic Studio since day one.
