I found myself stuck a few days ago trying to carry a virtual lib for a gig. But I'm trying again, this time it would be through a recent laptop. I just need to find a basic 2 channel soundcard that just works. (NO M-AUDIO NEED EVER come to my door again. My experiences with M-Audio have been as frustrating as anything - #driversupdateswoes).
I thought I'd save some time and create a better shortlist if I asked people here. It would be for live music, virtual pianos (probably UVI's Model D) and a synth or two. Latency is important, durability, AD/DA converters quality, and price as well (under $150 USD). Ideally something that is not overloaded with features I won't need for live gigs. I have a Saffire Pro 24 DSP in the home studio for bigger projects.
So far I've looked at the Scarlett 2i2, the Steinberg UR22C (although the UR22MKII dropped in price at Sweetwater) and I glanced at the Zoom offereings (U-24 and U-44).
Thank you in advance for any tip, recommendations, feedback!
