Hi,
Right now, I'm super confused as to which audio interface to buy. I currently have an Arturia Minifuse 2 but I need to upgrade it to something with more inputs and that can be plugged to an outlet. Also, it's been more than 6 months now that whenever I watch youtube or any other content on chrome, i hear crackling (I'm planning on buying the Behringer HD400 Hum Destroyer to see if it'll solve it). I'm having in consideration the following products:
- MOTU M6 - Pros: low latency, low headphone output impedance, MIDI in and out, 4 Mic/ Line/ Instrument inputs, clear input and output metering.
Cons: possible unreliable windows drivers (?), not very good software app.
- Audient iD44 MKII - Pros: amazing software app and programmable buttons (with useful functions), good mic preamps, ADAT in and out.
Cons: high headphone output impedance, only output metering, no MIDI in and out.
These are things that stand out in each of them. Both these interfaces come with loopback, can be plugged to an outlet, individual 48V button and possess two independently controllable headphone inputs.
I've been battling with this for weeks now and I can't seem to decide. Also, please feel free to recommend interfaces other than these. I arrived on these two based on my research which included a lot of forums and some hours of Julian Krause's videos (I might be bad at researching, I don't know
). Budget-wise, from these choices, I think you can see it clearly.
I have a Windows 11 PC, use a pair of Audio Technica ATH M50Xs and a pair of Adam T5Vs (Amir's review on this forum helped my decision a lot with these monitors).
I would very much appreciate all the help I can get in making this decision. Thank you in advance!
