Using Maschine without an Audio Interface?

Is it alright? right now I have some standard soundcard and using Asio4All... Don't have much money right now, so if I buy Maschine will it still be usable, latency and **** wise?
Thanks

 

probably be fine but what is your computer? for instance I actually get lower latency when using my macbook pro's internal sound card then when using my expensive projectmix I/O

 

i think Macs are fine without an Audio Interface.... not sure about PCs though.

On my XP desktop I use a Delta 66, but I wouldnt use it on windows without an interface. On my Macbook I don't use an interface and sample from the internal sound card using Soundflower, and sounds great, no stutters, hicups or the like. On my vista notebook, which is "faster" than the macbook, I notice all kinds of issues, and as such its almost unusable without an interface. Thats my experience, YMMV.

 

ASIO4All works surprisingly well in this case. Give it a shot...

i have a macbook (white) and a dell laptop (for my work)
The dell laptop is very good but doesn't have a good soundcard
It irritates me a lot when I use maschine on this laptop (latency)

the macbook works very good.

 

I'm using an internal sound card and ASIO4All - works pretty well. Not perfect, but it's usable.

I think I want to upgrade to a proper audio interface sometime soon, but more as a "nice to have", not "must have"

 

Windows, no. Mac Yes

I would say no to windoes and mac will be fine.

 

I have tried this with ASIO4ALL on my Dell laptop and the results were barely useable. My main audio interface is a MOTU rackmounted firewire one but it is not very portable. Does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive USB interface that will work well with the Maschine when traveling?

Thanks!

 

I use it on my WinXP Toshiba laptop, no latency issues on a small project, but I cant really build anything complete. I also have a desktop Win7 computer thats where Ill do most my work. Works fine with or without my external soundcard.

 

Ok thanks for the replies guys, anyone know if this will be ok?

i use it on my compaq laptop, no interface, asio4all, works fine no latency issues at all.

I also have a soundblaster xfi go that I use for recording streaming audio, since vista killed that option, I use it for my videos or if I want to record something playing on my machine into maschine

it really depends on your pc and it's interface. I have no problem at all, internal card out into my mixer works fine.

I also had a tascam interface for a while but it sucked...latency was horrible.

until I find the interface/pc setup I want for my dedicated audio setup, the internal works just fine. If I have any issues I can switch to the 40 dollar soundblaster which works fine as well.

this also let's me use multiple programs at once since I basically have two interfaces that can use the asio4all driver at the same time.

 

I have that one and its crap, i generally like behringer but this thing has way to much latency. Even on my mac its barely working.

If you have a express card slot then get a indigo I/O.
I always used that until i switched to a mac.
As a matter of fact its for sale, was going to put it ebay this weekend.
The Indigo has barely any latency and is really dependable. Unlike my tascam fw1804 that gives my new imac kernel panics)

 

See the thing is I don't have much money, max I can spend is like £50... I think I'll just wait till my Maschine arrives and see how it goes before buying one.

 

sounds like a good idea , try asio for all and double your cash....
