Art Pro Audio USB Dual Pre - Two Channel Prea mp with USB

Using this to record my classical guitar into my pc. Using 2 inputs to the interface. The first is a piezo electric pickup under the bridge with its own pre-amp and the second is a condensor mic both are XLR. From there i'm using the usb straight in. Works perfectly with no buzz, i'm using windows 7 so there were additional steps to make but they were explained and not anything major.Naturally it does change the tone which isn't ideal for classical guitar but my mic and piezo aren't highest quality anyhow and they have a larger affect, I'm doing sound editing anyhow so i can work with it. Overall it's precisely what I expected and what I paid for. Nice!

This was bought primarily to record onto my iPad with GarageBand and Auria. I have an iPad 4 on iOS 7. I was unsure of which audio interface to buy as there has been much decrying of iOS 7 in the recording community, with many people not updating until they know their devices will work.I thought I'd take the plunge and as this is a relatively cheap device I thought I couldn't go wrong really. Well I have to say this little device blows me away. It is so small and light and is able to be powered directly from the iPad, not requiring a power source or battery, although they can both be used if desired. It is able to take both line inputs such as guitars or keyboards, or XLR for microphones. It also has a 48V phantom power circuit for condenser style mics that require it. Guitars sound sweet through this on GarageBand and Auria, although I am using the Ampkit app to get great sounds for recording. It will allow the recording of 2 tracks at the same time from different sources.The rotary knob on the rear allows you to mix between the dry sound going into the device and the wet, effected or recorded sound coming out of your software; a nice touch.If recording to an iPad you will need a camera connection kit/USB to lightning converter. A normal USB lead is supplied with this device.A fantastic piece of kit for the money.

Driver issues. Cheap usb to xlr converter worked plug and play. This unit was a pain to get working across multiple laptops.

good stereo pre amp

Bought this to use with my Heil PR-40 as the input signal from the Heil is really low (it's super quiet). Found out that I needed a pre-amp. So I got this.Absolutely does what I need, I get really good signal now and I don't find myself needing to use software gain (which ends up making me sound very noisy and harsh sounding). The dual-pre is VERY neutral sounding, which may not be what most people want - but absolutely nails what I need. If you have a microphone which needs a lot of gain, I absolutely recommend this.

I was looking for a USB audio interface for recording to my computer. I have a 16 track Korg at home but I was away a lot and wanted something to record to my laptop. This really does the trick - just plug in and go. I use Audacity for recording as it's free and you can record in high quality.It has some surprising uses I have found as a XLR to jack adapter. It has phantom power which is great. Also because it has three different ways to be powered you can use your computer to power it is there are no sockets or 9v batteries lying around.In conclusion. I love it.PS. It's super tough. Which is a major requirement for me as I throw it in my pedal bag.
