Interfase

[EduUY]

Guys, which is the best interfase for recording Bass lines and soloist work as a bassist? lets say, "marcus miller, victor, etc"

Im owning a focusrite scarlet 2i2 which was good, but im thinking of upgrading to one of this:
*UA Apollo twin mkII dual
*Babyface
*Focusrite clarett
*Apogee Duet 2

What do you think is the best one? or there is another?

thanks in advance!

Ultimately your signal chain prior to the interface will make a bigger difference than the difference in any of these interfaces.

The Focusrite Forte is more in line with the rest than the Clarett. Apogee Duet 2 is Mac only, so I assume you're either using Mac or haven't done any significant research yet. I really hope it is the former, and not because I'm a Mac fan. Regardless, the quality of the mic pres and converters in all of these is very good. It comes down most to workflow. Do you want built in DSP for latency free monitoring with effects? Do you need ADAT optical I/O, S/PDIF? Internal Wordclock? How many ins and outs? Are you working in the box exclusively, or are you analog summing or using external processing?

TL/DR. Babyface (because why not.)

It also depends on if you're recording with a group or individual tracks. If you need to record a group, anyone of those you listed will help get more mics and tracks down at the same time.

If you are recording solo, what you have will do a fine job. It all depends on how you mix, and the quality of your DAW. Also a lot has to do with how good you can mix with the monitors you currently have. A lot of the solo bass tracks can be enhanced in the mix with reverb, and modulation FX for that Wooten and Miller tone. But it all comes down to how you EQ and mix the bass tracks, and how you set them up in the mix. This also applies to if you go with another interface.
