I’m so happy with this find, which is essentially a budget alternative to a similar, well-known branded device. The TC Helicon GO TWIN’s preamps have ample gain and are quiet; two channels lets you record stereo signals or two separate sources simultaneously, like vocals and a guitar; although of course, you’ll need to mic acoustic instruments and vocals. Onboard, dual LED strips give instant feedback on recording levels. The mobile audio interface records at industry-standard 44.1 or 48 kHz sample-rates, which if you do your research is what the pros use and is plenty good enough for high-quality recording as the GO TWIN records everything at 24-bit resolution, giving you ample headroom and accuracy. This device is also very adaptable, with phantom power available for condenser mics, and cables provided for connecting to Apple's iPhones and iPads via lightning or USB-C, as well as just about any desktop or laptop computer via USB. It even has MIDI I/O for connecting a synth or drum machine! The device is battery or USB-powered and two AA batteries are actually provided in the box! The TC Helicon GO TWIN outputs to a headphone mini-jack and/or dual-channel, balanced TRS jacks (you need to get the tip/ring/sleeve "stereo-plugged" cables—not the mono, TS guitar cables—to carry the balanced signals to suitably balanced-input monitors). Everything you need to get going is right here, including some basic, fun recording software (downloadable from the TC Helicon website) but if you need a more capable DAW, Apple users can get going immediately with GarageBand. Windows people can choose from several free and very capable programs like Cakewalk by BandLab, or the trial version of Reaper. I don't know Android but I can report that this device is recognised by the FL Studio Mobile app in Windows RT on an ARM-powered Surface 2, which is truly astounding! Although it's geared more for EDM production, FL Studio Mobile is most definitely available for Android (as well as iOS, Chrome OS and Windows Mobile) and it's dirt cheap too. An audio interface with this level of performance, features and flexibility for only around 150 Aussie-bucks is truly amazing value for money, and I cannot recommend the TC Helicon GO TWIN highly enough. It is ideal for beginners in home or mobile audio recording and good enough for anyone short of professional studio audio engineers. Even they might appreciate this cheap and cheerful solution for recording on the go, and I expect this device will surprise many people. Well done TC Helicon.Read full review
