So, as mentioned in the title, I cant really afford to buy an amp right now, and the used-guitar-gear maket in my county isnt huge. I was thinking of getting an amp interface (cost<$55) and plugging it into my PC and making do with it for a while.
Is this a decent approach and would you guys recommend it?
Thanks in advance

What interface can you get with 55 bucks?

55 Dollars (assuming you mean US) is not a lot. The only thing that comes to mind which is even remotely close to that is the Sonicake Pocketmaster, which does act as an interface as well.
It's a tiny multiFX/modeler unit you can get for around 60 US Dollars.
For the price is not, bad, but if I were you, I'd save up some money and get something a bit better in terms of sound/features/usability.
But for about 60 bucks, it's not a bad unit and will do just about everything you'd want for that price range.

yes for 55$ you will get an infinitely better experience with the cheapest behringer and an amp simp
lofty lark
Don't know much about behringer but yeah sure it will be better
Dolphin is also on that price range apparently
But if you save like another 30-40 bucks you can get a uses focusrite

Add 15$ for cheap IEMs if you don't have headphones yet

you have to use asio4all but thats about it
works perfectly fine for the price
lofty lark

Why wouldn't you use asio4all?
paper elm

This is just controls?
timber shale
It should be a whole custom ASIO driver
paper elm
This is just controls?
different asio driver and controls for sample rate, bit rate
paper elm
wdym you just uninstall asio4all and click download
timber shale
I don't have a focusrite but usually you install the drivers and then you can select their ASIO driver whereever you're asked to select a driver
lofty lark
Do i download the legacy or just the focusrite control @paper elm
paper elm
which one do you have
lofty lark
which one do you have
Focusrite 3rd gen solo
paper elm
the control one
timber shale
"Legacy" is normally a synonym for "old/outdated version"
paper elm
wdym
paper elm
i mean do you have it plugged into thunderbolt or usb lol
lofty lark
I swear it was 5ms before idk why it's so high now that i checked it
My focusrite control Legit just stopped working and not detecting device anymore @paper elm
paper elm
broo wdym stopped working what am i supposed to do about that
clearly you did something cause tech doesnt stop out of the blue
paper elm
how old is your pc
paper elm
The app doesn't detect my focusrite anymore
so then just replug the focusrite
lofty lark
Ain't working
paper elm
restart the app
lofty lark
Not working still but thanks anyway, i did lower my buffer size to 160 tho @paper elm
Jeez
You're telling me I've been using asio4all for absolutely no fucking reason...
paper elm

mine works to 64 with no crackling
lofty lark
mine works to 64 with no crackling
I'll try to push it and see how it'll sound
If i can get to 64 without crackling that'll be great
Tho tbh latency isn't a problem that I've noticed, apparently

I have i3 11th
And i have a laptop so that's not an option
paper elm

5600x
grand oyster
recommend him an amp for 50$ otherwise
You can get interfaces for a bit more like the m-audio that are just better
lofty lark
5600x
Only slightly higher in rating than my cpu, apparently
So i should be able to push it to 64 without problems
As long as I don't stack too much plugins

Is the scarlet solo a better option or Boss Katana Mini?

Those are two different things
Scarlett is an interface ...katana mini is an amp
In terms of versatility a Scarlett is way better

no it's definitely not the same thing
lofty lark
no it's definitely not the same thing
I never said it was

slightly higher
it's like a 3x difference
2 core cpu with 15 watts vs 6 core 65 watts

naw
urs is an i3
he proly has a ryzen 5
which is equivalent to something like an i5
specifically like 13th gen i5
i3 is dogshit
paper elm
its not about the cpu family, the generation matters more
an i3 14100 will destroy an i5 9600
same goes if you have an i7 4790
doesnt help that its a laptop for an already entry line cpu
viral hearth
its not about the cpu family, the generation matters more
thats true but like if we were talking in the same generation
i3 is not great for music recording from experience
i used to have a 13th gen i3
horrendous
it was okay for gaming but producing no
with i5 - i9 you can run more plugins at the same time sooo much bnetter
