American Audio Versa Port 4x4 Soundcard With Mic, Headphone Level Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this port set to put together a system that I could use with my laptop. I have a digital mixer to mix music from my laptop, but I also wanted an analogue system I could use to mix audio CDs. I plugged this into one USB port on my laptop and plugged my digital mixer to another port. This gave me the ability go connect my laptop system to a standard mixer which was connected to the dual CD mixer. I can use the PCDJ software I have on my laptop to control all the devices and the sound is great. Without this product, it would have been very challenging to get the digital/analogue worlds together as one output. This product got the job done simply.

Alesis IO2 Audio/Midi Interface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't disagree more with the other reviewer. Using my alesis io2 with my macbook couldn't be any easier. Garageband sees the interface immediately and asks if you'd like to change to that device....then you just add a track, plug in your instrument and hit record. The fact that the alesis is USB powered makes it more attractive because it allows you to record anywhere! This is a solidly constructed device, sturdy and very sleek. I HIGHLY recommend it...it did even work on MY old windows machine before I got my macbook....if the Alesis doesn't work for you, then you're doing something wrong.

Lexicon IONIX U22 2-Input USB 2.0 Desktop Recording Studio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this one after looking at the cheaper products from M-Audio, Tascam, and Lexicon. I agonized for weeks reading product reviews and the conclusion I came to was: for under $200, I'm going to be disappointed. All were plagued with quality/longevity issues, and many had problems with pops/drops of the audio signal. I like a bargain, but you get what you pay for. The only other one I considered was the Prosonus, which I'd recommend for anyone who desires a firewire devices (which gives you the ability to chain devices together for expansion).
Pros:
- Installation was flawless: insert DVD, follow instructions.
- 9V adapter (instead of being USB powered) and supports the 48V 'phantom' power for high end microphones.
- USB 2.0, all complaints about drops and pops for the USB 1.1 products are gone.
- Sturdy construction, nice big dials. The less expensive Lexicon products had quality complaints; this one is built like a brick.
- Simplicity. It has only 2 inputs (the 3rd 'instrument' input disables the mic/line input #1 when plugged in) but that is exactly what I need.Cons:
- No power button? I'll need to put all my recording stuff on a switched power strip.
- Like most of these products, for some reason there is no easy way to use your PC speakers for a monitor. I'd figured there would be a way to send the digital output to the sound card, but instead I guess I'll connect the outputs to the analog PC line in. Ah well..
