Choosing an audio interface can be a big decision -- with so many interfaces available on the market today, it can be difficult to figure out which one may be best. Joe Albano's new course 'Audio Interface Buyer's Guide' provides the information needed to make an informed decision. The course starts out by explaining the differences between the various versions of USB and Thunderbolt as well as the types of connections. It covers class-compliant devices, drivers, and the need to be aware of possible compatibility issues with the operating system. Next, the course goes over AD/DA converters, and the different analog I/O configurations available, as well as additional digital I/O like ADAT, S/PDIF, MIDI connections, and expansion options. There are also sections on mic preamps, monitoring options, DSP processing, and points to consider when purchasing an audio interface for various studio setups. Anyone in the market for for a first interface or looking to upgrade their current interface will want to check out this course and get the lowdown on the "ins and outs" of audio interfaces.
