Someone helping to decide what to buy between these: Focusrite scarlett 2i4, Roland Quad Capture, Native instruments Komplete, M-Audio M-Track.

I can only speak on the KA6. I have Sonar3 and it works fine with no latency issues as long as your buffer settings are don't go any lower than 128. However, playing flash video and music starts a click and pop issue with your sound that doesn't go away until you disconnect your USB or restart your computer. This is a known issue, perhaps if Native Instruments were concerned they would solve it.

All would be a great purchase; however, make sure that the software that you are using supports the external device that you purchase. Pro-Tools work well maybe better with a ProTools approved devices. I use Apple Logic which works well with Focusrite and Komplete Audio 6.

My advice is to avoid this unit if you use Windows. It is 2014, and it still glitches in non-ASIO apps, and toggling ASIO in Ableton toggles the glitches. I am 99% confident it is driver related. I'll be switching to Scarlett for music production in Windows. Not sure about the Roland, but Ive heard a lot of MAC users complain about Maudio driver issues in OSX, but that was years ago.

I advise Scarlett 2i4 if you need 2 separate outputs for DJing, NI does the same but I had glitches on this soundcard. Roland is decent choice for sure, had good experience with M-Audio too.

The Focusrite tested with lower distortion overall than the Audio 6 (see my review; in a tear-down I found it had better DACs/ADCs; but it's doubtful you will hear the difference) The Focustrite also had higher input gain range on the mic inputs than the the Native Audio 6 but the Audio 6 is built like a tank and has more universal usable software drivers. I have not tested this version of the M track but the old one was abeschissen build. I have no knowledge of the Roland product.

What are you using this for? Mixers are for live performance, not the best way to record. The Alpha is a good VALUE but not the best, You buy this because it is 1/2 the price of the Persons or Focusrite interface

I reccomend an external mini mixer. That is what I use to tie in other equipment like another line for another dj, phone, etc. take a look at either at the behringer or Mackie VLZ 402...both are under 100$Rob (DJ Rob-E)

I believe it has a USB cable and that is it. If you are going to record direct guitars or bass, save your money and get the focusrite scarlett 2i4. It was night and day difference with latancy and actually being able to record my guitars with the volume turned up and not like on 2 just so i wouldn't clip. If someone told me 2 years ago what I'm telling you now. Life would be a whole lot different, well my music recording would be anyway.

I like The Biggest Model Best! I like My Novation Purchase! I have the 49 Key and Its Great with LMMS Daw and Fl Studio. I Would buy it forthe price its a nice Unit.

I would opt for a digital music recorder like a Tascam DR-05. It has direct guitar cable inputs for electric too.

I would get an iPod classic, put all of your music on it and then get an iPod dock by Klipsch or Bose

Any good small full range monitor would be good. A little Roland 30 watt keyboard amp would sound great. Or any powered studio monitors.

if your a beginner,this one,because it don't cost that much money and you can do a lot for the size of the controller and software comes with it,but if your alittle advanced,then you might want to go with the mixtrack 2.

I have an iPad Mini 2 and recorded a bunch of drum tracks recently - worked great and garage band was good software to use. It's been a great mic.

Out of the top DAWs (Digital audio workstation) FL is my favorite because it's the easiest to understand in my opinion. And Image Line has toooonnnsss of tutorials on YouTube that can get you started in 10 minutes. I definitely recommend it

That's what it is built for! Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks. You *will* need to purchase a separate audio interface if your computer doesn't have say 1/4" and XLR audio inputs, but you can pick one up for a couple hundred bucks here on Amazon if need be.

looking at the other responses I agree that the HRT is good quality, & I have an emotive DAC/Pre-amp also. The reviewer that mentioned the other streamers hit it on the head, when they said listen to the quality of the different services & decide from your ears what you like. This dac is worth the money & shopping is worth your time!!

I finally went for the Mikro, although I was playing around with the Korg Kaosillator for ages in the store, which seemed very intuitive & a lot of fun, but as it was the same price the sales person assured me that the Maschine had a lot more going for it, I truly hope I can get to grips with it soon O.o

I recommended the Line 6 UX2! Awesome interface, easy to use, looks awesome as well. And cheap!
