If you're interested in low latency, you are right to avoid the entry-level Scarlett models (2i2, 2i4). (Speaking about the Duo Capture EX here, not the Quad) The Roland does a little more (iPad compatibility) but the Steinberg has higher specs. Both the Steinberg and Roland are quite nice.
The UR22 is next in line, likely followed by the Roland (I own the Roland Duo Capture EX).
Not everyone has problems with it, but it simply wasn't usable on my laptop's USB 3 ports, and it didn't wake up from sleep when plugged into USB 2. In my own tests using RTL Utility (which DAWBench uses for their raw round-trip latency metrics), the Komplete Audio 6 offers the best latency times, although I sold mine due to its numerous USB issues. Please don't recommend the scarlett 2i2 (no midi) or the rme babyface (can't afford it!) I'll be hooking it up on a Win7 圆4 PC, using mainly Reaper as DAW btw. Then again, I suppose that's what almost everybody needs, so go figure. Low latency ASIO and clean preamps is all I need pretty much.

The actual performance of the driver is where it's at and you don't get to experience that until it's too late. Which one would you buy? Is the UR-22 really decent enough for what I need or I should dish out almost double the money for one of the other models? There's only so much you can gather from reading specs. I know Komplete Audio 6 is supposed to be great on that aspect but I haven't managed to find much info on the other 2. So, any feedback would be greatly appreciated especially regarding the latency of these units. My initial research has me considering mainly 3 modelsġ) Steinberg UR22 (seems to be adequate and very cheap ~125 euros)Ģ) NI Komplete Audio 6 (4 inputs and supposedly very low latency ~225 euros)ģ) Roland Quad Capture (solid drivers, better build quality ~200 euros)Īdditionally, I considered pretty much everything in the price range with honorable mentions to Focusrite Scarlett 2i4/6i6, MOTU Microbook II and Avid Mbox, all of which are hovering towards the topend of my budget and I'm not convinced they'd be better value for money compared to my 3 main options. What I need is:ġ) Low latency for large VSTi pianos on my main digital pianoĢ) 2 analog inputs with decent preamps for mic and guitarģ) MIDI I/O for my secondary midi keyboardįurthermore it would be nice if I could haveĢ) Built-in DSP for basic effects mixed in the zero latency monitor Budget is low, up to 250 euros give or take preferably lower. Been reading a lot of conflicting stuff on the forum so figured I should probably register and try to get some help on my precise needs. Hey there, recently decided to sort out my home studio and I'm in the process of picking a USB audio interface.
