I've been looking at buying a better interface for my set up. At the moment I get by using a Novation Xio 25 keyboard as an interface, but that's only good for a single channel. Like you guys, I want to be able to record multiple inputs onto separate tracks (so I can re-mix or otherwise mess with them later). I've been looking at the following two possibles, both currently selling new around the £145-£150 mark.

Akai EIE Pro - looks to have a good range of features and good build quality, gives 4 independent inputs, also works as a USB hub.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 - only two inputs, got good write-ups on some guitar forums.

As for DAW software, I've used Audacity until now but that's pretty limited (only really good for one track at a time, no MIDI support). I'll probably end up with either Reaper or Cubase Elements.

Steinberg couldnt sort my issues out either so I have returned my second I04, im sure if you were Bill Gates

you might be able to write your own unnstall programe for elicencer to solve my issues.

My best recomendation would be AVOID...(Steinberg were in fairness quite helpful, but didnt fix it for me)

Next time trust the reviews!!!... ie Avoid the Akai one too.!..

My line pod ux2 is quite good but makes my machine crash regularly... we shouldnt need to put up with stuff like that...If you dont get computers buy an Ipad and garage band for £5.99 and Irig record for free...lol

Bar Humbug....hey it can only get better!

Er, where do you get that from?...The Akai review you linked to said it was pretty good.

Trouble with reviews is that for every product there seem to be differing reviews which say something along the following lines:

(a) This is total crap / broke 5 minutes after opening the box / drivers cause terrible latency / won't work with [insert name here] software

(b) This is fucking brilliant / great features / easy to use / my band just recorded an album with it!
