What will be your suggestions for my bedroom studio?
I record synths and vocals and I use midi ports
I also have sometimes very heavy and messy plugin over use on my projects
Here's is a short info of my PC
Dell optiplex Intel core i56400T
Onboard GPU
16 gb installed ram
That works glitchy for now even with fresh win 11
I stack spires and many of a same plugins
(For final work I stem all)
I could not efford good soundcards for years an Ive been using my m-audio FasTrack from 2009 still to this day again After a bad shaped used lexicon u42 from 2022 until last April that I only buy to use midi with synths I liked its preamps and it's oddshape and nice led bars and stuff...

I was thinking about some budget options like uad volt 2
I want something that could handle plugin loads with midi and solid drivers

I'm between NI Audio 6 and Uad volt 2
What will be your suggestion? Beside of my current choices
Thanks

Buy better computer, talking from experience, not even RME can save you if you are hammering your CPU, I tried to salvage friends HP i5 2500 with everything and it's one of those things, we got him second hand HP ProDesk G4 with i7-8700/32GB DDR4 for 250 bucks, works like a charm.

Other then that, NI one for sure.

 

Plugin processing is done entirely in your CPU, so interface choice doesn't matter in that regard. If you need midi in and out, the Arturia Minifuse 2 is a very decent interface.

 

The Motu proposes both, NI has little dynamic sound & Uad volt 2 is not the first choice
