Many options available from Presonus, M-Audio, Tascam, Roland, Rational, Sound Devices, RME, Apogee to name a few. Features/gotcha's that you should look for: * 2 or more mic pre's with phantom power, with separate input level controls, separate line inputs with level controls a bonus * At least 1 balanced output to feed into the system under test, and another output for external loopback * You might find some incompatibilities with firewire chipsets and certain laptops, so make sure if you're going this route, you test it first! * Some Avid/Pro Tools interfaces use proprietary drivers which Smaart is not able to access, check to make sure it will work * You'll find that using 4 or more mics with live averaging is a real time saver, and well worth the few extra hundred dollars investment over a 2 channel interface * If you're running Windows 7 64 bit, make sure the manufacturer has drivers that will work with the operating system Hope this helps!
