Just wondering, if there is such a thing as a USB Interface that only serves
Inputs for USB Controllers...
I hope there is something like this... Coz' buying a regular interface that has usb port
over and over agian would be so expensive specially today's modern USB days...
Thanks.

ONE LOVE
GOOD VIBES

 

Here I have a 7 port usb2 hub and a 7 port usb3 hub (all powererd and with individial switch... sometimes computer gets crazy abou this.
I also have individual extentions for the problematic devices, and also the front of desktop.
Hubs are good but the problem is the energy needed and the compatibilities with the 3 or more kinds of usb.
Sometimes is a hell
edit
I only use firewire interfaces, but a lot of usb controllers

 

This. I would definitely use some advices and USB hubs. I have a live act with 4 controllers and sometimes they disconnect themselves even if they are self-powered.
I have a live show in 15 days which will be the first time i'll be headling a show in a very big audience.

 

Really? just a USB hub will do fine?
On a usb audio interface that I had, it was said that
"USB hubs are not recommended."
I was thinking because it would affect the signal...
and I also wondered maybe it would do the same on midi controllers...
I haven't tried any of what I've said though,
coz' I'm afraid I might just waste my money on the hub, though it's cheap...
Or maybe there's a proper hub for it?
I really don't know....

 

There is a budget interface that has an 4 ports yopu can use for controllers if thats what you meant??

And just to mention it it took me under one minuet to google it..

A bit overkill for my needs... I only need the usb inputs...
I already have an interface...
Isn't there like an interface for only usb midi's...

 

USB hubs don't degrade the audio signal of a usb audio interface. They lower the bandwidth that the interface can send data to the pc (by sharing the usb port). They also cause issues with lack of power to devices. But signal loss isn't the reason they are not recommended for hubs. Hope this helps.

 

noone forces you to plug your audio i/o into the hub with the other thingies.
Audio interface goes ideally, directly into the computer while the other crap may be plugged into a hub if desired.
its just an advise to get full bandwith from an dedicated usb port.

as long you dont attach another hi bandwidth i/o devices (audio,video+image processing devices/storage devices) you can use it plugged to a hub too.
generic human user interfaces (mices/keyboards/controllers) are low bandwidth.

BUT : there are some really crappy lowest tech hubs that do not autobalance and evenly distribute power and bandwith on ports that are not used, they are problematic with a/v equipment.

 

I went on another discussion group that's available here locally on our country...
Problem Solved...
Solution was Powered USB Hubs...
Thanks for the help though, everyone.
