I’m in search for a new audio interface and I wonder what you are using and how your experiences are.
It should be an USB interface with (if possbile) two inputs on the back and fully compatible with Linux.
The Audient ID4 looks fine, but it doesn’t have the two inputs at the back. Audient ID14 is not compatible as the mixer software does not run in Linux.
Other options:
Behringer U-Phoria (no inputs at the back, not the best quality?) - fully compatible
any interface that is compatible for ipad should work okay on linux. such interfaces should be usb audio class compliant.
i’ve got a ur44 and the only problem is when switching to a new sampling frequency there is 8 seconds of silence. that can be worked around. the software it came with doesn’t work
Currently I’m plugged in to a Behringer UMC404 (Uphoria), it’s the 4 in/4 out jobbie, and I gotta say it sounds great, well-built, clean as anything and has been solid reliable since I’ve bought it for something portable in 2018. I’m not plugged into my usual studio interface (away cuz of lockdown). Don’t be put off by the list price and assume that it’s tat, because it’s not.
Thanks for the answers. The old Focusrite works, but the 3rd generations does not. The Mackie Bigknob with inbuilt interface would also be an option. I have the passive version and it’s very well built, except the volume knob starts crackling after some time. I guess the active version will have the same issue.
I can tell you, the Behringer Uphoria sucks… I have one and had major latency problems(Not in Linux, just in general) and I just bought the Komplete Audio 1 from Native Instruments and it works great with no noticeable latency with my guitar.
I haven’t tried it with Linux yet though, I’ll let you know if I do get it going but it’s not a priority for me right now
