What kind of interface do you have?

[T.G.C.A.E.]

Focusrite Saffire pro 24...Nothing special about it, good price, does the job. I remember choosing it because of the loopback feature.

Focusrite 18i20 (2nd Gen)

!!!Damn!!! I bought it like 2 years ago and now there's a 3d Gen version.

Alesis iO26 that i got like 10 years ago for $450. 8 audio inputs all with phaNtom power. Midi in/out, RCA in, input/output volume balance (im too tired caNt think of the right word). Its been solid. It does restart itself and set the volume to max occasionally. There are newer versions im sure but its a solid product for a reasonable price.

NI Komplete Audio 6 mk2. Very good interface for what I need. For example:
- I can have my SP-404 connected to it for recording effects + at the same time have the main output to the monitors;
- Connect 2 headhphones (when the kid is sleeping and my wife wants to check what I am doing =))
- Phantom power
- Headphone amp powerful enough to get decent output in 250ohm headphones

It also ships with plenty of software from NI like Monark and Guitar Rig 5 Pro.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 here

I have a UA apollo twin but that's 2 inputs. Larger ones are expensive and they get cool when buying the also expensive UA plugins.
I recently got me a SSL2+ for the road. I am happy with it so far. Great preamps for the bucks, but again only 2 inputs.

MOTU 828 mk3 Hybrid and 828 mk3 Firewire

Steinberg UR242 as well. I like it, pretty solid, enough for a bedroom producer

 

[Vossi Beats]

Native Instruments komplete audio 2, and as always NI delivers to the spot!

We just got a Soundcraft Signature 16 for the studio and a Focusrite 4i4.
Im still rocking my Roland Duo capture ex, just 2 channels in and 2 out, but I dont need anymore at home. It works for me.

Nice! Soundcraft is a good make.

 

[LiveLargeBeats]

Presonus Studio 24c

 

[2GooD Productions]

Nice! Soundcraft is a good make.

To be honest I run the Focusrite Scarlett through it and dont use it for recording, have too many artifacts, its basically just a speaker controller and allows us to quickly plug in a phone for playback. Dont use it for recording at all. Have no issues with the scarlett 4i4 so use that. The only reason they bought a mixing board, against my advice, was just for the "look"

@2GooD Productions i started off with the focusrite aswell, but somehow it gave me weird cracks and clipping sound real fast,..somehow it doesnt work well with macbooks i think. swapped it for the Presonus and works perfect. I dont record anything tho (xcept midi ofcourse), just purely for better sound trough studio speakers and headphones

thats the same problem I have with the Soundcraft. So gave up on it, probably just driver settings, but I tried a few different settings but still had the problems. So just went back to what works with no issues.

yuppp..from what i read apple has got power isseus with the usb2 hubs..doenst give a full signal of power all the times. So best to get a powered hub and use that for all your stuff. That worked wonders for me. I think the usb-c's should be solid now tho

 

[2GooD Productions]

I have usb c on my laptop, I meant to get a hub for it, but then forgot all about it. I just want to see how well it performs

I had a Scarlet 2i2 but upgraded to the 18i8 2nd gen when they were selling them off. It might be a good fit for you as you can use the software to set it up as a mixer.
