I'd be interested in hearing recommendations for the best audio interface for a beginner to DAWS and Band-in-a-Box.

We get asked that question a lot, but the available products are changing so we may not be current.

And a link to the product for sale somewhere like Amazon or musicians friend etc.

Please include some basic information such as name/manufacturer/price and a brief summary of what it has e.g. 2 audio ins, 2 audio outs, 1 MIDI in, 1 MIDI out.

And state if you have used it in Windows or Mac, and if it's a USB connection or something else (FireWire, USB-C)

And of course any "local knowledge" would be appreciated ,
(windows users) such as if it works for you with biab and realband and if you are using the native asio driver or just the default mme.
(Mac users) does it work well for you with biab

I would assume we should concentrate on entry level but a beginner might want something fancy, and if you've got good results please post that too.

Please don't drift the topic to tech support interface issues, as this would be very confusing, and there are other forums here for that.



Have Fun!
