[ubuntu-studio-users] Questions about production

[Thijs van severen]

Hi all

maybe a bit off topic, but i'm interested in getting some advice on a
'simple & cheap' USB audio device
any tips?

my requirements are these :
- 1 stereo output (or 2 mono), ideally 2x 6.3mm mono jack (or cinch)
- preferably with cable (so not the 'dongle' type of audio device)
- inputs : dont really care, but 2x 6.3mm jack inputs would be nice
- cost : really low ;-)
- latency : approx 10ms will do
- supported in linux OOTB

maybe something like the behringer ucg 102? (

all tips are welcome

grtz
Thijs
