#3. Presonus Audiobox 22vl

pre

One of our favourite little USB interfaces got itself an upgrade: now the AudioBox 22 comes packed with VSL – Virtual StudioLive software to let you record with effects, and no audible latency. Very handy for tracking with a pinch of compression, EQ, and/or reverb in the cans to grab an awesome performance. Hardware: 2 mic / line inputs, headphone level control, main out level control, plus a MIDI port.
