ok, ung mga taga gearslutz nagbigay ng suggestion. Behringer UMC22. Nung una naimpress ako lalo na ang gaga da ng reviews sa google.

Bigla ko naisip... kamuka nya yung focusrite Scarlett solo. Pero mas mura. $40 sya so mga around 2,000 lang sya! ayos! kaso gusto ko sana mga mala 2i2 kse for long run ko na dahil... alam nyo na... gipit.

Kung wala na tlga, hmmm... Io2, M-track (kamukang kamuka ng IO2) o tascam? pati audiobox 2x2na din

Behringer stuff is not bad. good enough, if you're not picky, but not stellar like the Focurites. It'll get you by until you get something better. But the main thing about behringer gear is how long it'll last you. buti hindi ba nasusunogyung HA400 ko but I don't expect it to outlive say a similar piece of gear from another brand. Talagang sa mixers and pro-audio sila magaling, cheap enough to be affordable and the application not critical enough to nitpick noise and reliability issues.

I own an M-Track, I can vouch for it, matibay, it sounds good, works right out of the box, and has MIDI I/O. Yung Behringer mura nga, pero ibebenta mo magkano, 1K baka mas mura pa. Yung Tascam or M-Audio maebenta mo at half price lugi ka na nun, at sure na gumagana pa yun.

oo actually! cross sya ng 2i2 at isa pang interface na pareho yung knobs. but then we're talking about behringer, halos lahat ng products nila may kahawig. pero at least hindi naman totally patapon, usually mas noisy lang at di mo ieexpect na tatagal ng 3 years.
I'm actually thinking of getting a mixer/interface from them to piggyback on my current 2x2 setup  :)

Lol, i knew it. Same din sa M-audio right?

Demn, mpapautang yta ako para isureball na yung focusrite 2i2. Long term use ko na to tsaka minsan lang mgka opportunity mkabili sa ebay.

Yung presonus audiobox 2x2 kmusta? Madami nagsasabi na maganda, madami din nagsasabi na panget.... Noisy gnun.

Kadalasan 2i2 at Steinberg UR22 kadalasan pag budget intetface itatype sa google eh.

Kaya ko lang pinupush sarili ko sa 2i2 kase sa magandang preamps at review nya tsaka mukang sulit for what it's worth.

Nung una Alesis io2 ako eh tpos may comparison sa youtube gamit guitar... Strat to be specific at ganun din guitar ko.

Gee, solid ang difference. Ampanget ng sound sa alesis. Malayo sa tunog ng strat kaya napaatras ako.

ang pinagkaiba ng M-Audio sa Behringer, mas matibay ang M-Audio kahit i-gig mo  ayos lang :lol: tsaka hindi ganun ka noisy.

ok lang mapautang dun sa focusrite basta di lalagpas ng 7k. bentahan na yun dito eh. you're paying for the clean signal and the preamps. I wouldn't trust alesis with a pure signal. Mas forte talaga nila ang controllers and other similar interfaces.

i tried m audio m track, hindi ko ma alala kung may phantom power yan. binenta ko din agad after 3 weeks. may kulang sa kanya it has a decent preamp pero I'm not really satisfied.
last month I started looking for a Steinberg UR22 pero wala akong makita. best option mo dito kung magandang preamp hanap mo is 2i2. Sale pa sa jbmusic 6k ata. 2i4 kinuha ko and pareho ata sila ng preamp tulad ng 2i2. panalong panalo lalo na mga software na kasama. kung sa guitar mo yan gagamitin, hinding hindi ka mag sisisi.

yeah may phantom power yung M-Track. yung preamps nya transparent, hindi sya "whoah" preamp. It works for me though kasi puro dry signal for processing naman ang ginagawa ko. but for stuff like guitar, whether mic'd or DI, mas maganda talaga yung preamps ng focusrite.

Thanks sa mga knowledge. First interface ko kase to at gaya nga ng sabi ko... Long yerm use ko na to hanggang sa kumita ako.

Ngaun ko lang nalaman na Controllers ang specialty ng Alesis at di nman pla gnun kanoisy ang M-Audio, sadyang transparent lang.

Sge, dahil sinabi mong okay lang mapautang sa 2i2... Why not. Ang brand new nya sa ebay is $100. Round off nten sa Php 50 ang $1

Bale Php 5000 lang. Walang kaluge hahahaha

Argh kainis hahaha or di naman xD salamat sa mga taga gearslutz at dahil di pa tapos yung auction sa ebay may chance pa ako makapagpalit ng bibilhin.

Ang cons daw sa 2i2 pag sa guitar use is madaling magclip. Kahit daw nakababa na ung gain knob may 10dB gain pdin daw.

Yung Behringer sinuggest nya, kaso Behringer UMC22... Eh nabenta na din yung iPod ko ngaun lang. UMC202 nalang at kamuka pa ng 2i2 with extra padding feature.

Nung una mejo napapangitan ako sa Behringer kase gaya gaya lang at mura product so nakakapekto sa perceived value na panget lang sya gnun.

Kaso etong state-of-the-arstate-of-the-art "MIDAS" preamps nila panglaban nila eh

Tapos mas mura pa! Sooo, eto habang naghihintay matapos ang auction kuha kuha ulet opinions at basa basa reviews

Update:

Gumawa ng comparison yung isang taga Gearslutz... Di kayo makakapaniwala

Panis yung Focusrite Scarlett 2i4! Na same preamps sa 2i2

Tatlong blind test gamit ito:

Audient id22
Focusrite 2i4
Behringer ADA8200

SAME not similar lang daw yung preamps ng Behringer ADA8200 sa UMC22 at UMC202.
 
Yung Audient id22 similar ang sound sa ADA8200... Compared using crappy earbuds at headphones lang kaya di mo madidistinguish exactly...  Pero kahit ganun, talo talaga yung Focusrite 2i4 nakaka turn off. Super dull compare sa dalawa.

Yung features ng UMC202 meron palang sa 2i4... Walang padding yung 2i2 pero UMC202 meron na.

well, if you are not going to use MIDI I/O or if hindi mo kailangan ng RCA unbalanced output there's no reason para ma disappoint sa 2i4
choosing an audio interface is not all about the preamp.. depende din yan sa pag gagamitan mo.. at sa mga kailangan mo
OS Compatibility, Support, Drivers and updates, software bundles, plugins , I/O, etc.. kung anu sir yung na pipisil ng puso mo dun ka.  :-D :-D

May nakita akong UMC202HD worth 4,000 kung icoconvert.

Tapos biglang may secondhand na UR22 ng steinberg for 4,000 pesos lang din.

Litong lito nako. Hay -_- pag kelan nakapagdecide nako laging may lumalabas na isa pa.

Date sa 2i2 biglang labas ng UMC202, tapos ngaun biglang labas ng secondhand na UR22.

Ganto ah, even if the Focusrite preamps are supposedly better, at this price range, wala namang pro-level preamps dyan. By that I mean, ultimately, tulad ng sabi ni robinonibor, mas pagtuunan mo na ng pansin yung features ng product mismo: price, build quality, number of I/O, what types of I/O, phantom power, pads, power supply, headroom.

Ako masaya ako sa M-Audio M-Track ko. di nga ako naka Saffire, pero solb ako sa I/O ko dahil may MIDI nang kasama for less than the price of a Focusrite or the newer M-Audio/Avid products. The improvement of the sound quality because of the preamp is icing on the cake because at this price level madaling matanggal yung advantage nun.

Post by: Rock_on on October 08, 2015, 09:58:53 AM
Ako kase, since minsan lang to

Focus ako sa preamps kase yan lang mgiging coloration ko
Tapos 2 inputs (of course gagamitin din sa fruitarian kya dapat hi-z)
48-96khz is enough
Usb powered

Bonus nalang yung iba. Ehh nanjan nalang din ung pasok sa budget ko... Kaya sila yung naglalaban laban.

dapat may phantom power ka kasi hindi aandar yung mga condenser mo (at kung wala kang condenser ngayon, well, you'd eventually get one anyway hahaha). yung headroom ng mga yan makikita sa reviews, pati yung noise. yung pad usually di kailangan unless micing drums or something as loud. yung I/O pag-isipan mo rin although usually at this price range RCA at MIDI lang ang additional.

Interface ko will be used mainly sa vocals at guitar/bass.

So combo ng xlr at 1/4 gaya sa ur22 at sa iba pasok na ako dun.

Wala ako studio monitors so kahit headphones lang or gawin kong yun na mismo out nya.... Check.

Pads like i said, not needed... If ever may drums ako addictive drums yun.

Phantom, yun nga... Might come handy.

Pres talaga eh, good sound + headroom.

Parang, Good sound na bad Snr vs Good sound na mejo kawawang headroom labanan dto eh.

Umc202 vs ur22.

kung ako dun ka na sa good sound pero mababa ang headroom. di mo maaabot yung headroom na yun sa guitar/bass + vocals. unless naka-cab yung guitar, but then yung m-track ko di naman nagrereklamo kahit sa drums basta mababa yung gain. ano pala gagamitin mong mic sa vocals kung wala kang phantom power?

hm, sa bagay lahat naman sila may phantom power. but anyway, my recommendation still stands, dun ka na lang sa mababa ang headroom. I think that's the UR22 on your list. it will take a lot to distort a shure dynamic kahit mababa pa headroom nyan. SM57 ba yung mic mo? after all, don't sweat it too much, the sound quality between all of those evens out in the end.

Gusto ko nga din sana yung UR-22 talaga, pero... Matanong nalang din

Isa lang kase yung instrument input nya, paano kung kunware gusto ko isa guitar tapos sa isang input bass or guitar din? Kaso walang instrument switch? Eto lang disadvantage na nakikita ko. Maliban pa dun, wala na

forced ka mag-DI dun sa isa. but then again unless naka stereo effects ka or meron kang stereo synth/sampler/etc non-issue sya. considering na naka 2 inputs ka lang malamang mag-ooverdub ka naman so kayang-kaya pagtiyagaan yung isang hi-z input. yung interface ko pareho may hi z switch pero di ko pa nagamit nang sabay naka hi-z, overdub kasi lahat. kung si behringer ang fallback mo sa UR-22, dun na lang ako sa M-Track

It has MIDIs na din at pad at yung monitoring gaya sa steinberg ur-22 na gusto ko. Wala naman daw noise based on reviews.

May mic ndin ako nyan, ewan ko lang kung condenser o dynamic. Magpapadala din yung isang taga Gearslutz saken eh hahaha

Sabi ko ung pinaka versatile... Not because it's condenser it's better diba?

sa pagpili ng mic, primarily sa sound signature yan, kung ano yung gusto mo na response at sensitivity. secondary na yung kung masisira ba yung mic sa application na paggagamitan  mo kaya tama yung statement mo na condenser isnt automatically better.

dynamic has a generally narrower response, but doesn't need phantom power and takes high SPLs very well. it's a great all-around mic because the mids are generally great, and with the aforementioned features, they're a great pick-me-up for anything.

condensers on the other hand have much better response due to the design, as well as the size of the diaprhagm. it does take phantom power and some aren't meant for high SPL use. condensers are also great pick-me-ups as long as there's power around.

If I had to choose though, I'd still take a hypercardioid condenser that takes high SPLs as my "versatile" mic, over a dynamic because of the frequency response. I'd only choose a dynamic (i5 fan ako sorry SM57 fans) if I had to take a mic to an excursion into a jungle or go sound hunting with tribes and shiz.
