Need the perfect Audio Interface for me

Heho,

short sory. Here the spects I need:

Midi In/Out, SPDIF IN/Out (for reamping), Instrument Input, USB oder PCI Express for WIN7 64 bit
Used for 180€ or a new one.

What do you think about Roland UA 55 or M Audio Audiophile 192.

Thank you

I am a cheapskate I freely and readily admit. I picked up a used E-MU 0404 USB for € 80 recently. All your specs are met except maybe W7 driver support.

It has W7 64-bit Beta Drivers available I saw on the website.

This is my second one. They both function well. Im still on XP. Reliability and quality of recordings are fine. Just my $ 0.02 ;-).

Good luck hunting for an interface !

And do you test reamping.

As far as I know, every spdif connector has the same quality. But SPDIF coaxial,digital,optical are very different...

I don't know if this meets your requirements, but it looks like a very good deal:

This is a good interface. But with Firewire...

No reamping done yet. Can't help you with that, sorry mate.

Okay, I will test the M Audio Fast Track Pro and the M Audio C400. Hope one of them do it right.

Does anybody use the M Audio C400 with Win 7 64 bit?

I'm using two interfaces under W7 64-Bit: M Audio Fast Track Pro and Focusrite Saffire 6 USB. Both run great under 64-Bit W7, the M-Audio supports SPDIF but the FocusRite Saffire has the better PreAmps for Microphone-recordings (but no SPDIF).

Good luck ... Evo

I'm currently using the Kemper with a Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 using SPDIF with a Windows 7 64 bit PC. No problems. I was previously using a M-Audio Delta 1010LT sound card and no problems with that either. Same PC, same OS. I bought the Focusrite because I was having continuing problems with the adapter cards used to adapt the PCI male of the Delta with the PCIe slot on the motherboard of my PC.

How's it working with the Kemper? Have you tried the s/pdif yet? Also curious to whether you managed to get those transport buttons mapped to any other DAW instead of ProTools...

Its working perfectly with Kemper ! And it sounds awesome... I do not have any S/pdif cable, I merely hook up my kemper into the real 1& 2 input of my C600 and output to a pair of monitors.. Im currently using protools, but i hv not tried mapping the transport button. I find it more convenient to operate via keyboard and mouse instead.
