Personally I can say that the sound quality in my headphones influences how enthusiastic I am about the music I am playing.Īnother good option for an audio interface for the same price (at least in the US) is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4. Also, you wouldn’t have the same sound quality for your headphone output. That can be tricky to configure, especially on Windows depending on the capabilities of each audio interface’s driver. If you get an audio interface with 2 outputs you would have to use a different one for your headphone output. The Rubix22 doesn’t seem that easy to get in the countries I could get it, but I can still give it a try. I’m pretty much convinced on the xone k2 now, just need to confirm which audio interface I’ll be going for. If you’ve got any other audio interfaces recommendations I’d be glad to know. Would you also recommend the EDIROL FA 66? The Rubix22 doesn’t seem that easy to get in the countries I could get it, but I can still give it a try. I was checking that Roland one that you mentioned and seems fairly decent. I’ve been also told not to get a Behringer. Good advise on the NI audio interface too. Yeah I know the Novation is intended for Ableton, but still someone mentioned it to me and thought it could actually work as well. Hey thanks a lot! Really appreciate your help over here. Whether that’s worth the price is up to you (I sure think it is, but I’m kinda nuts ). There are diminishing returns for sound quality for increases in price for audio interfaces past about $200. If you can spend spend more, there are higher quality audio interfaces available. I generally recommend the Roland Rubix 24 for an audio interface if you want good sound quality without spending lots of money. I have heard several Native Instruments audio interfaces (Audio 2 DJ, Kontrol S4 MK2, Kore) and they all sounded fairly mediocre. You can play with better sound quality for less money using a decent audio interface with balanced outputs plugged directly into a sound system without a mixer. A mixer is unnecessary, expensive, and would reduce your sound quality. The audio interface built into the Xone K2s is not good though it sounds about the same as (or maybe a little worse than) the audio interface in my laptop (this generally applies to cheaper controllers). They come with a case, which may seem like a small detail but it’s really helpful for the longevity of knobs and faders. If you want something more conventional but less flexible and portable, the Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 is a decent entry level controller. If you want a small and lightweight controller like the Launch XL, I suggest the Allen & Heath Xone K2. The DJ Hardware Guide lists compatible controllers and some suggested audio interfaces. Trying to use it with Mixxx would be awkward. The Novation Launch XL MK2 is not designed for DJing, it is designed for use with Ableton.
