Audio Interface, what to choose?

Right,

So, I've ditched the CDJs, and fancy having a crack with Ableton.

I still have my Xone92 and by KRK RP8s, as well as a killer laptop which is more than capable of handling any current piece of software. I've also got a copy of Ableton Live 8.

I was going to grab a Traktor X1 as a controller, but am open to guidance on this. I happen to have just picked up an iPad2 as well, and understand you can use this as a bolt on to Ableton - anyone have any experience with this?

I currently only need 2 channels from laptop to mixer, so an audio interface is the only other thing I need, what makes an audio interface good or bad? It just sits there and passes through the sound, right. So somethin matched to the quality of my Xone and my RP8s is what I need. Has anyone got any suggestions on this whole thing?

Cheers

Jarv

If you already have an iPad, get touchOSC or Touchable. really awesome apps. Cant recommend a controller cos with ableton, everyone kinda works out their own way to use it so I would recommend routing ableton through an soundcard to your xone92. I use the native instruments audio 4, good sound and great latency.

Sad but true.

Should have at least gone for an ECHO. Motu are fine and reliable but honestly, they're a little overpriced for the sonic quality they output.

Mbox Mini IMO is a great budget-minded interface.

Love the way I post and only one person replies in more than 24 hours.

The minute I commit to buying the whole world chimes in and gives their negative opinions!

Not the end of the world, it hasn't even arrived yet, I'll just send it straight back.

I looked at that, however, it seems that the unit only has ONE output.

How would I use two channels in Ableton to output to two channels on my mixer - have I missed something?

Look at the blow up rear picture in this review: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb...s/mbox2mini.htm
