I searched interfaces under about $120 and ended up with about 25 choices. I don't want to spend more.
I don't need MIDI.
I don't think I really need a mic port because I imagine I can just plug a mic into the instrument input and it'd be good enough. And I don't really record vocals currently but might eventually.
I mostly need it to play and record electric guitar without an amp (just a cord from the guitar to the interface). And also hardware synthesizers and electric drum kit.
Most of these interfaces say they have mic preamps/phantom but I'm not sure if they all also have a preamp for a guitar without an amp.
I want quality recordings without a latency anyone would notice.
I don't need to record multiple instruments at once but it'd be nice to record a jam with other(s).
Here are 26 interfaces if someone will actually look through them and tell me which is the best deal and why:
Thanks in advance.
