Hey guys!

So I figured it's time I started recording the stuff I play during my gigs. and I needed an audio interface for that.

Will this one work?

M-Audio, M Track II. I really didn't want to spend much because I have a lot of other things to buy.

I should add I'm looking for stereo recording. Now I'm a total noob when it comes to this sort of stuff, so I guess all I'm looking for is my Krome to sound as amazing as it does on headphones when I record it. If a mono can help me do that, fine by me.

Maybe I could connect the L-jack(From the Krome) to one of the channels(on the M audio) and the R-jack to the other one. But only one of the channels has an instrument switch!

Does that mean mono-recording then?

The M-Audio M-Track II specification mentions Mic inputs 1-2, and Line inputs 1-2, so it should be fine for recording the Krome's output in stereo.

I've had great luck with the Lexicon Alpha.

So is it safe to connect the Krome to the line input without a DI box then? I hope it won't damage the keyboard? :/

That's what the line input is meant for. The "instrument" input means that input is compatible with low output signals like electric guitars. A keyboard is way hotter than that.

Line input has nothing to do with line or mains voltage so if that's the link being drawn, a measure of concern is perfectly understandable. Hopefully the contents of this link should help allay any fears:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level

Line level signals won't exceed about 3.5volts peak to peak in professional audio line level signals and around 0.9volts peak to peak in consumer audio. These are pretty universal standards. Microphone and guitar levels are typically much lower than this; a few tens of millivolts max.
