Audio interface recommendation

Hi,

I need to pick up a USB audio interface so I can record audio (digital piano and occasionally voice) directly into Audition. I suppose I could use the PC's audio in/mic jack in but I'd prefer to use a USB interface connected to Line Out on the piano.

At this point I'll only need two inputs (1/8" L & R aux out ports on the piano) to USB on the PC. The PC supports USB 2.0 and 3.0, runs Windows 10 64-bit, has an Intel Core i7 @ 2.4GHz, 8G RAM, 4T storage.

An XLR input would be a plus.

Thanks.

Rich

What sort of budget do you have? A simple 2 In/Out USB line only interface can be had for less than $100. But a good one with good built in mic pres can be several hundred.

Hi,

As long as I can get the piano audio into Audition, that's all I really need for now. I was looking at these:

Tascam US-1x2 USB Audio Interface | SamAsh - https://is.gd/hiBhkY

Presonus AudioBox USB 96 USB Audio Interface | SamAsh - https://is.gd/rsncgf

Leaning towards the Presonus as it supports MIDI as well.

I've had good results for several years with the Alesis iO2 (formerly marketed as an M Audio M Track). Two inputs which can be Line, Instrument or mic, Decently quiet mic pre amps, direct hardware monitoring and stable ASIO drivers. Last I looked they sold for about a hundred dollars in the US.

(I originally bought it for simple playback duties but was impressed enough I now use it for location recording when I only need a couple of tracks.
