Best USB audio interface

Haven’t seen any discussion regarding which interface works the best.  I’m only using SD3 for the sounds when out gigging.  No composing.  Tried using a Focusrite Scarlett SiS, 2nd Gen.  However the latency was so bad I couldn’t stand it.  Any suggestions as to the best way to connect laptop to FOH?

Would you mind humouring me and setting your outputs up like this?

I want to see if your channel 3/4 will generate audio on. XR18 channels Left 2 and Right 2.

Thanks Brad!

This did the job!

I don’t see the logics in the SD’s output menu, that was the problem. If it was

Output 1/2 (L)

Output 1/2 (R)

it would make a lot more sense to me and I would have gotten it myself 🙂

Great, thanks again!

Glad that worked. I think in all honesty it should work the way you had setup. All you were doing was skipping output 2left and 2right. But it looks like as long as you set them up contiguously it works. Glad we got it working.? I am sure your FOH likes that even more.?
