Haddii aad dhab ka tahay wax-soo-saarka muusigga, haysashada isku-xidhka maqalka ee qumman waa mudnaanta koowaad. Laakin doorashada interface sax ah waxay noqon kartaa caqabad, gaar ahaan haddii aad ku cusub tahay wax soo saarka maqalka. 

Maqaalkan, waxaan ku qeexi doonaa waxa uu yahay interface-ka maqalka, sababta aad mid ugu baahan tahay, iyo 6 ee heerka gelitaanka ugu wanaagsan ee dhex galka maqalka heerka xirfadeed. 

Waa maxay Interface-ka maqalka iyo maxaad ugu baahan tahay mid?

Interface-ga maqalka ah ayaa ku xidha makarafoonkaaga iyo qalabkaaga kombayutarka oo u beddela calaamadaha analoogga ah qaab maqal dhijitaal ah oo software-kaagu aqoonsan karo oo la falgeli karo. Tani waa sababta sidoo kale loogu yeero "beddelayaasha". Waxa kale oo ay ku xidhaa kormeerayaasha istuudiyahaaga iyo taleefoonnada dhegaha la gashado, iyada oo si toos ah codka uga gudbinaysa agabka.

Interface-ga maqalka ayaa lagama maarmaan u ah haddii aad rabto inaad ka duubto codka qalabka^{(record sound from instruments)} iyo aaladaha kale ee maqalka ah maadaama ay kaa caawin doonto inaad gaarto tayada codka aad u sareysa markaad wax soo saareyso. 

Qaar ka mid ah waxyaabaha ay tahay in la tixgeliyo marka la dooranayo interface-ka maqalka ah waa: 

• The input/output configuration. Wax-soo-gelinta ayaa ah halka aad ku xidhayso aaladaha codka soo gala, sida gitaarka ama makarafoonnada. Tirada wax soo saarka ayaa go'aamin doonta nooca habaynta hadalka ee aad ku xidhi karto. Iyada oo ku xidhan isticmaalkaaga, waxa laga yaabaa inaad u baahato hal ama laba wax-soo-saar/wax-soo-saar. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad rabto inaad ka duubto ilo badan markiiba (tusaale ahaan, haddii aad u baahan tahay qalabyo iyo codad badan), markaa waxaad u baahan doontaa wax badan. Interfaces waxay u dhexeeyaan 2-in/2-out ilaa boqolaal kanaal.

• The type of inputs/outputs. Iyada oo ku xidhan interface-ka maqalka ah, waxa laga yaabaa in uu lahaado gelinta khadka iyo qalabyada. Soo-gelinta xariiqdu waxay ka qaadataa calaamadaha heerka- line^(Line) (awood sare) ee qalabka ku shaqeeya sida synth, halka agabka agabka loo qaabeeyey waxyaabaha ay ka midka yihiin mics iyo gitaarka soo saara calaamada korantada hoose (tani waa halka ay preamps-ku ka caawinayo kor u qaadista signalka khadka- heerka). Qaabka isku xirnaanta sidoo kale waa muhiim iyadoo ku xiran baahidaada (tusaale 1/4", XLR , TRS , ADAT , RCA xiriiriyeyaasha). Sida wax-soo-gelinta, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad u fiirsato qaabka ay wax-soo-saarku yihiin iyo haddii ay tani ku habboon tahay qalabkaaga iyo baahiyahaaga.
• Nooca isku xirka. ^{(The type of connection. )}Inta badan isdhexgalka waxay ku xidhmaan goobta shaqada iyadoo la sii marayo fiilada USB ( Windows ) ama FireWire (si loogu duubo Apple Mac^{(recording on Apple Mac)} iyo aaladaha iOS sida iPads). Moodooyinka cusub^(Newer) waxay isticmaalaan USB 3.2 ama Thunderbolt^{(USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt)} . Nooca ugu dambeeya ee isku xirka waa PCIe kaas oo ku lug leh ku rakibida interface gudaha Motherboard-ka kumbuyuutarka. Kuwan guud ahaan waxaa loogu talagalay istuudiyo xirfadeedka sare ee wax soo saarka guud ahaanna waa qaali.

• Bitrate iyo saamiga saamiga. ^{(Bitrate and sample rate. )}Inta ay kuwani sii badan yihiin, tayada guud ee maqalka ayaa wanaagsan oo aad duubi doontaa. Inta badan isdhexgalka maqalka ee liiskan ku jira waxay leeyihiin 24-bit bitrate iyo 192kHz saamiga muunada, taas oo ku filan dhammaan isticmaalka.
• Summada ^{(Brand. )}Noocyo dhowr ah ayaa abuuraya is-dhexgal maqal oo tayo sare leh, oo ay ku jiraan Behringer , Presonus , Motu , Clarett , M-Audio , Dhageystaha^(Audient) , iyo wixii la mid ah. Qaar ka mid ah kuwan ayaa diiradda saaraya meelo kala duwan, markaa waxay kuxirantahay haddii aad tahay heesaa/heesaha, podcaster, band, soo saare, ama gooldhaliye filim, noocyada qaar ayaa laga yaabaa inay ku habboon yihiin baahiyahaaga.

6 Best Audio Interfaces and Why You Need One

Іf yоυ’re serious about music production, having the perfect audio interfaсe is a top priority. But choosing the right interface can be a challenge, esрecially if you’re new to audio production. 

In this article, we’ll describe what an audio interface is, why you need one, and 6 of the best entry-level to professional-grade audio interfaces. 

What Is an Audio Interface and Why Do You Need One?

An audio interface connects your microphone and instruments to your PC and converts the analog signals into a digital audio format that your computer software can recognize and interact with. This is why they’re also referred to as “converters”. It also connects to your studio monitors and headphones, transmitting sound directly from the inputs.

An audio interface is necessary if you want to record sound from instruments and other audio devices as it will help you achieve much higher sound quality when producing. 

Some of the things to consider when choosing an audio interface are: 

• The input/output configuration. Inputs are where you connect incoming sound devices, like guitars or microphones. The number of outputs will determine what kind of speaker setup you can connect to. Depending on your uses, you may only require one or two inputs/outputs. However, if you want to record from multiple sources at a time (for instance, if you need multiple instruments and vocals), then you’ll need more. Interfaces range from 2-in/2-out to hundreds of channels.

• The type of inputs/outputs. Depending on the audio interface, it may have line inputs and instrument inputs. Line inputs take line-level (high-power) signals from powered equipment like a synth, whereas instrument inputs are designed for things like mics and guitars that produce a low-voltage signal (this is where preamps help by raising the signal to line-level). The connection format is also important depending on your needs (e.g. 1/4”, XLR, TRS, ADAT, RCA connectors). Like inputs, you’ll want to pay attention to what format the outputs are and whether this matches your equipment and needs.
• The type of connection. Most interfaces connect to a workstation via a USB cable (Windows) or via FireWire (for recording on Apple Mac and iOS devices like iPads). Newer models use USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt. The final type of connection is PCIe which involves installing the interface into your computer’s motherboard. These are generally reserved for high-throughput professional studios and are generally more expensive.

• Bitrate and sample rate. The higher these are, the better overall audio quality you will record. Most audio interfaces in this list have a 24-bit bitrate and 192kHz sample rate, which is sufficient for almost all uses.
• Brand. Several brands create high-quality audio interfaces, including Behringer, Presonus, Motu, Clarett, M-Audio, Audient, and so on. Some of these focus on different niches, so depending on whether you’re a singer/songwriter, podcaster, band, producer, or film scorer, some brands may be better suited to your needs.

With that out of the way, here are 6 of the best audio interfaces ranging from low-budget to professional-grade options.

1. Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD

The cheapest option on our list, the UMC404HD is perfect for those on a budget. At only $169.00, this Behringer interface gives an impressive bang for the buck. Some of its features include:

• Four XLR-1/4” combo inputs and a MIDI input
• Four line outputs with MIDAS mic preamps
• Latency-free headphone playback
• USB 2.0 connectivity
• Phantom Power switch for all four inputs (provides DC current to condenser microphones that require it to function)
• 24-bit/192kHz recording quality

There are some obvious downsides to this USB audio interface like the older USB ports, but at the price point, it remains one of the best options.

2. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Third Gen

There are several Focusrite audio interfaces, many of which are highly regarded by producers. On a budget (or for beginners), the best option is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Third Gen which is suited to solo or duo recording.
