80$ vs 300$ Audio Interface: Recording Drum Machines + Synths - CHEAP vs EXPENSIVE

► Support us and get access to lots of drum patterns, cheat sheets and more! Patreon: ​

In this video we take a look at three popular mid to entry level audio interfaces for bedroom producers. Will they give you different results when recording drum machines and synthesizers? The answer might shock you ;) As always none of our gear is sponsored, we bought everything with our own money.

Featured drum patterns - transcriptions available on Patreon:
Childish Gambino - Sweatpants
Skinny Puppy - Dig It
Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force - Planet Rock
The Winstons - Amen Brother (The Amen Break)

Gear used:
Audient iD14 MKII
MOTU M2
Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD (We accidentally called it UMC202HD in the video. The verdict is still the same though - the only difference between the two is MIDI and additional connectivity on the 204HD, which we paid 80€ for at the time)
acidlab Drumatix
Behringer TD-3
Behringer RD-8
