[SOLVED] Finding a Good Audio Interface for Mic

[amulsingh01]

I plan on streaming as a hobby when I have time, but I'm on a budget. Currently, I plan to get a Rode Podmic to use but I have no clue what audio interface to get. As a complete audio noob, I've seen so much conflicting information regarding this subject. A lot of what people recommend is extremely expensive for me (like over 150). Can I get a good interface for less than a 100 or will I have to shell money for an expensive one? Thanks for any feedback.

Well if you're on a budget go with a USB interface mic, you won't need a preamp or mixer you can just use the software on a pc "Audacity and Garageband". I know quite a few podcasters that are fine with that route.
