Hi, I'm new to all this stuff, here's what I have:
Roli Seaboard 49
Roland FP30 Digital Piano
Tracktion Waveform Free
Equator/Equator2
Dell Windows 10 laptop
I want to be able to play the seaboard and fp30 together (using the sounds in equator) with no latency on either, and eventually to record them etc.
I have the seaboard and fp30 plugged into the laptop via usb and whilst the seaboard's latency isn't too bad the fp30's isn't great so it's hard to just play them together when they are out of sync etc.
I tried using asio4all in waveform but I end up with a high pitch screech and then no sound at all.
I was advised elsewhere that an audio interface might be a good solution for what I'm trying to do.
I've found the following within my budget:
M-Audio M-Track Solo II
M-Audio M-Track Duo
Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD
So my questions are:
1. If I do need an audio interface which of the above ones is better?
2. Will buying one of these interfaces solve all the latency issues, if so how does that work exactly?
3. Will I still be connecting the fp30 and seaboard directly to the laptop's USB ports or do I connect them into the audio interface inputs? (if it's the former then I guess I only need a single input audio interface like the Solo as opposed to the Duo?)
Many thanks!
