hey, do any of you know audio hardware stuff? i have a keyboard with a 6.35 mm (1⁄4 in) audio output. i believe it's stereo (trs). i want to record it without horrible usb interference noise, so i want something with uhhh some kind of isolation? (what is that called). what do i buy. i would prefer to spend less than 100 €

i probably want an “audio interface”, that's my going assumption so far, but something that is driving me up the wall is not even the good manufacturers seem to specify whether they can record in stereo. the fact the output is stereo means nothing, what about the input!!!

@hikari the problem here is that most audio interfaces are going to have balanced inputs, but I doubt that keyboard has a balanced output; you're right, it's probably stereo

your best options are probably USB mixing boards that might have an aux input, or something like the Scarlett 2i2 (that has multiple balanced inputs) plus a splitter to connect your keyboard to two of the inputs
