What does 'latency' mean in the context of a USB audio interface?

Latency is the delay between when a sound is produced (like singing into a microphone) and when it's heard through your headphones or speakers. Lower latency is crucial for comfortable recording and monitoring.

How many inputs do I really need in a USB audio interface?

Consider what you’ll be recording simultaneously. A solo artist might be fine with two inputs (one mic, one instrument), while a band recording drums will need significantly more.

What is the difference between 'phantom power' and why would I need it?

Phantom power provides the necessary voltage to power condenser microphones, which require external power to operate. Dynamic microphones typically don't need phantom power.
