Hi all maybe a bit off topic, but i'm interested in getting some advice on a 'simple & cheap' USB audio device any tips?
my requirements are these : - 1 stereo output (or 2 mono), ideally 2x 6.3mm mono jack (or cinch) - preferably with cable (so not the 'dongle' type of audio device) - inputs : dont really care, but 2x 6.3mm jack inputs would be nice - cost : really low ;-) - latency : approx 10ms will do - supported in linux OOTB maybe something like the behringer ucg 102? ( http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCG102.aspx) all tips are welcome grtz Thijs 2014-07-29 9:20 GMT+02:00 Shubham Mishra <[email protected]>: > >> OH!, i forgot to mention my opinion of USB mic's.. personally, i think >> they are great if they meet your needs.. they are "one trick pony" >> "uni-tasking" devices.. for example, you may be able to get a nice USB >> audio device and a nice actual mic for not much more cost than a decent USB >> mic, and those 2 things are *much* more versatile.. if you have a USB mic, >> for example, and you later decide to purchase a nicer preamp, you cant use >> it.. the USB audio device can also provide a nice instrument input, and be >> used as a fully functioning sound card.. so, for my money, i consider a USB >> mic to be a little bit of a wasted investment, unless the user is *only* >> doing something like a podcast, or only speech or one channel at a time >> with a mic.. good luck >> > > Thanks for the advice.
