when I first got into recording I followed the Entry level Mixer Based PCI Soundcard System setup. 5 years later my behringer mixer is giving out on me and needs to be replaced. this made me start thinking. Do i even really need a mixer? I basically make electronic music. I have 2 monitors, headphones, and occasionally I connect a mic for some vocals. This is all my musical needs right here. I might use a keyboard every now and then but most of these connect via USB anyways. I like the faders and stuff of the mixer but for my use is it a overkill?
Ive been looking at alot of these audio interface which is just connect via usb like Komplete Audio from Native Instuments or the MBox, or even the Focusrite Scarlett. How are the latency on these VS the audiophile 2496 I have now? I assume the pci card will have less latency but how much more would a USB interface have? I noticed for example the Komplete audio has the same specs as the 2496. Just want some advice guys.
