Best Interface / Mixer for streaming
Gets an XLR mic to the PC and adds mixing, faders, and effects. Skip it if your mic is USB.
Which interface / mixer should you use for streaming?
StreamPartPicker tracks 88 interface / mixer options with enough data to publish, ordered by proven quality per dollar: each part's retailer rating, weighted by how many people rated it, against the square root of its price. Behringer U-PHORIA UMC22 leads that ordering at 4.5 out of 5 and $52.90. The order is the formula's, not a hand-picked list, and nothing here is lab-tested by us.
