To answer the question: the main advantage of having an audio interface is that, depending on the interface itself, you can have more outputs going to your mixer so you can have quick hardware-not virtual-access to control your outputs in terms of volume, EQ, effects send and any other parameters your mixer channels allow you to control.ĭepending on your preference, you may like to have actual knobs to turn to control those aspects of your sound. What would be the benefit of adding a audio interface to my rig, or any other piece of equipment? Let's start with the audio interface. All I have right now is a Roland keyboard amp. You mentioned that, during live performance, you just go out of the headphone jack into a mixer, but I don't have a mixer. The only other way to connect my computer to the amp would be to go out the headphone jack on my computer, which is not 1/4 inch, so I would need to stick a converter on the end of my amp cable. Now I'm wondering if I need to get an audio interface that will connect my computer to my amp. I have a MIDI interface (one of those M-Audio things that goes into the USB port on my laptop). I want to start running my keyboard, via MIDI, through my computer and using that setup on gigs. I’d like to share the exchange and hope it helps you too. I received an email through my site with some questions about gigging with a laptop-specifically about the need for an external audio interface.
