The US-366 is the next in the line of Tascam USB interfaces. This interface includes on-board digital mixers and effects. It has an aluminum case for rugged handling and high definition Mic Pres.
The US-366 features two audio inputs with XLR connectors for microphones and TRS connectors for line sources. Input one can be switched to high impedance for direct connection of an electric guitar or bass. Two line outputs are provided with TRS and RCA connectors. With two additional line-level RCA connectors that can be used as input or output plus one digital RCA/Optical input and output, the US-366 can be used as six-in/four-out or four-in/six-out audio interface.
Extremely low noise, very low THD and a great frequency response.
The US-366 has onboard effects including reverb, three-band parametric EQ, “exciter” (which emphasizes high-frequency harmonics), noise suppressor, de-esser and compressor. There are limitations on how the effects can be inserted in the signal flow. The only effect available as a “send” is reverb. So if you’re planning on using a compressor as on a bus, wait until you’re in the DAW.

If you are a mobile musician or podcaster on a tight budget who relies mostly on software except for a couple of mics or instruments, and your computer is equipped with USB but not FireWire, we have just the recording interface for you: the AudioBox USB.
This simple, handy little box connects to a computer via USB 1.1, so it works with virtually any PC or Mac, not just newer models. And it has just the right features for your basic recording needs—neither more nor less.
The AudioBox USB may be small and simple, but it boasts PreSonus quality inside and out. It offers excellent audio performance, thanks to two dual-purpose front-panel mic/instrument inputs with sweet-sounding Class A mic preamplifiers and professional-quality, 24-bit converters that sample at up to 48 kHz.
You get a pair of line-level outputs and an ultra-loud, crystal-clear headphone output. MIDI In and Out ports ensure that you can use control surfaces and keyboards without requiring a separate MIDI interface.

Quality Onyx Preamps:

Onyx pres are designed to meet or surpass expensive and standalone mic pres in terms of fidelity, headroom and transparency – as well as improved radio frequency (RFI) rejection and ultra-wide dynamic range. There is a full 60db range.

Zero Latency Recording:

Featuring a true analog monitoring path directly from the preamps to your studio monitors and headphones means you can track while listening in either mono or stereo to the direct source with zero routing. Not only that, it also means you can adjust your buffer settings to maximize your computer’s processing.

No Direct Box Needed:

Both channels double as built-in Direct Ins which is ideal for direct connection of guitars, basses, keyboards, drum machines, etc. Having a built-in DI is great when you just want to plug in to record a quick riff or synth sound without the fuss of dealing with a traditional DI, and not having to carry a DI or two can make a big difference if you need to pack light.

The Scarlett 2i2 is a 2-in / 2-out USB recording interface featuring dual Focusrite preamps and precision digital conversion. Housed in a rugged chassis, the interface not only sounds fantastic but looks great too. What’s more, it’s solid enough to take on the road.
Unique “halo” indicators let you know that you’ve got a good signal level for recording. Red means that your signal is clipping, and that you should reduce the gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a healthy level, at which point it will turn green. You get superior low noise and distortion performance with the Scarlett.
A large monitor dial provides specific control for monitor speaker volume, while a high quality headphone amp provides a clean yet loud signal to headphones connected to the front side. The direct monitor switch routes audio directly from the inputs to both the headphone and speaker outputs, which allows you monitor the incoming signal with zero-latency.
All Scarlett audio interfaces include Ableton Live Lite recording software, plus two powerful software plug-ins: Red Plug-in Suite and Scarlett Plug-in Suite.
