Hello,
I only have an IPhone, so would probably record using the headphone jack as a line out to the IPhone for quick recordings. Do you need to have the USB Cable connected in order for sound to come through it? What is the advantage of using batteries vs USB power?
thanks,

Yes, it has 2 very good mic preamps.  You need the camera kit to  connect it to 
the iPad.  I haven’t tried it with the iPhone because I can’t seem to locate my 
lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and frankly having the adapter and the camera kit 
dangling off of the iphone’s docking port doesn’t sound very secure to me.  I 
even have trouble keeping the camera kit from popping off of the iPad’s port 
when I connect a usb cable to it, I’m not sure if I could trust it in a 
critical performance situation.   I’ve been wondering if there is such a thing 
as a male to male docking cable that could connect to the iPad on one end and 
the camera kit on the other, rather than having the kit connected directly.   
It might make a sturdier connectiong.

Hello,
does it have any built in preamps?
Also, how do you connect it to the IPhone? being able to record onto my IPhone 
without any kind of filter is kind of nice sometimes...
thanks,

Hi:
the roland dual capture x is very good.  It does have two combo xlr/quarter 
inch inputs with phantom power, can run off the usb bus or 3 AA batteries  or 
an optional dc supply, and works with windows, mac, or iOS  if you switch it to 
that mode and use the camera kit.  I was able to run it down to 96 samples 
which is around 2.8ms latency quite well, and it is solidly built and yes it 
does have midi in and out and you can do direct input monitoring with it.

Hello,
I am looking for a small USB audio interface.
It needs to have:
1. at least 2 mic jacks for stereo
2. The ability to give my mics juice
3. The jacks that connect to a mixer
4. Fantastic drivers for Windows 7 and 8 64 bit.

Some really nice features would be:
1. I once saw an audio interface that had a built-in mic and that would be cool 
as if I wanted to get a quick and dirty recording I wouldn't need to get out my 
nice mics.
2. Midi jacks, I have a midispot, but being able to connect my piano to 
something that I already have out would be very handy.


The Roland audio interfaces on the Dancing Dot's website look like they may be 
what I want, but I think they only fit the need list, not the want list. I 
would like to know if there is any audio interface that fits most if not all of 
both lists.
If anyone has any audio interfaces for sale that fit, please let me know as 
well!
thanks,
