List of Audio Interfaces

[kempjef]

I can verify that my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (2nd generation) works great, latency around 3ms when set to 96000/64.

Thanks for the info, kempjef! I've added that information, and moved the 6i6 to the "Confirmed Working" category on the list and in the Google Sheet.

Hello kkriner@gmail.com,

Thank you for all of the detailed information!

We are looking to get rolling on this platform but want to do as much research about the interface as possible.

Do you know if anyone has put together a "best" suggestion list for devices that work better than most for Windows machines and for Mac machines?
I am hoping some more technically minded people out there might have suggestions for Good, Better and Best or something like that to help us make the right choice and get jamming.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi, Bob!

I am not aware of a "best" suggestion list.

You might be able to discern from the list some interfaces that work (all in the first category) and has the lowest interface latency (which noted where it was provided), if that helps.

The article you have shared here very good

Mac OS 10.15.4
JK client 1.0.3676
MOTU Audio Express hybrid FW/USB 2 (using direct USB connection on my 2017 MacBook Air)
measured loopback latency = 3.7ms

this is the easiest interface I have ever used, in terms of configuration and adjustment. It has support for every Mac OS from Snow Leopard on up.

I have also verified the Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 (FW only)
Mac OS 10.11.6 (2012 MacBook Pro, native FW 800 port)
JK client 1.0.3676
measured loopback latency = 3.2ms (firewire is just a bit quicker than USB 2)

Zoom Livetrack L-20 (which is awesome BTW) is working with JK under Windows 10.  I can pick any of the inputs.

However the output (to headphones) isn't working through the L-20, the sound is garbled.  Tried "tweaking" (slow, medium, fast) but didn't help, so I'm using a cheap USB audio interface for headphones.

I'm getting about 10mS latency, good speed and variation.

the new Steinberg UR44c also workes perfektly fine with JamKazam

Windows 10 - Focusrite Clarett 2pre 3rd Gen (USB) using Focusrite USB beta drivers: http://beta.focusrite.com/file.php/?id=1367

JK Client: 1.0.3729

Sample rate: 48kHz
Buffer Size: 48
Frame Size: 1ms
-----------------------------
Latency: 4.9ms

Works perfectly.

Zlartibartfast - thanks for the detailed info on both interfaces! I’ve moved the Saffire to the “Confirmed Working” category in the list/sheet, and added the Audio Express to that same category.

MikeTranch, thanks for the info on the L-20. I’ve put this in the “Working, but not working well” category, Let me know if you’d put it in a different category.

Thanks, Compycash, for the note on the Steinberg interface. I’ve added it to the list/sheet in the “Confirmed Working” category. Can you provide any additional info (OS, version, latency, driver, etc.)?

Sakai, thanks for the info on the Clarett 2Pre. I’ve added it to the list/sheet in the “Confirmed Working” category.
