    Which Audio Interface?

    This may seem like a dumb question but could I run one of these audio interfaces (I was looking at the focus rite solo thingy) without my laptop connected as a headphone practice amp?

    I'm guessing I'd have to power it via usb but it just struck me while looking for a headphone amp that one of these might double up for both tasks- well if it had a separate power supply feeding it.

    Opinions or a swift slap round the ear appreciated

    The audio interface is the connection you need to transform your analog signal (example your bass sound) in digital signal (the same bass sound translated into the computer language). That's the reason they have a FireWire or USB connection and not a power supply.

    Probably you need something which allow you to play&listen your bass without your computer (??)... in this case I use a really cheeper software, also available for iPhone (...yes...only sometimes, I swear...but I'm guilty of having made my bass sound by my mobile...): [url="http://www.positivegrid.com"]http://www.positivegrid.com[/url]

    Probably also an used model is a little bit over your budget... but I bought an used Apogee Duet on eBay some years ago (firewire or USB) and It works simply great.
    I made different updates of my Mac OS X so I had some issues with compatibility but they helped me as I was one of their best customers!
    Really recommended ;)
