Now that my chops are about halfway back and my stamina is getting better, I want to start making music again. Or at least attempting to... lol
Right now, I plug straight into muh Fractal and go directly out to a pair of Kali IN5's. I just got a new iMac and, though it's fast and all that, I don't want to use the headphone output for monitoring. I think it makes more sense to put those Kali's to good use and get an interface. I don't need a mic pre or multiple inputs or anything like that. It will just be for guitar demos and to play along with them. I can use MIDI and whatnot for other instruments. When/if it becomes time to REALLY record, I'll do that at a real place.
Am I wrong in thinking that I don't need much of an interface? Just a volume knob and a headphone out? I'll be going from the Fractal into the computer, so that's another reason I'm thinking that I don't need a high quality interface. Unless latency is a factor? I figure that if this is all I'd be using it for, that I can go this route. Otherwise, I'd just go for something high end, but that seems unnecessary. Unless it's not... Pardon my ignorance. I'm just getting back into the game. I'm not so much asking for interface suggestions. More that I want to know what kind of things I need to consider.
