But iPads have become a popular tool to capture performances and recordings, so we considered iOS support to be a valuable feature.

iOS support: All audio interfaces should support both macOS and Windows, as long as you download and install the appropriate driver.Research shows that the benefits of higher-resolution audio recording (such as 24-bit/192 kHz) are “small and difficult to detect.” You can read more in our article about audio resolution.

High-resolution recording: Most USB audio interfaces available today are capable of recording at 24-bit depth with a 96 kHz sampling rate or higher, so we considered that a minimum requirement for our music-oriented picks.It’s important for you to be able to see and read the meters easily. Setting it too low can produce excessive noise and make a recording more difficult to mix. If the level is too high, distortion (often called “clipping”) will result. These meters are critical for setting gain, or record level. Meter design: One of the biggest differences among USB interfaces is in the way their signal-level meters are configured.A well-made interface, even if it’s made of plastic, should survive years of use. Build quality: We immediately dismissed any obviously cheap, flimsy interfaces that looked like they might not survive more than a few months of frequent use.
