Audio Interface – Focusrite
Been having too much fun with Ableton of late (30 day trial ends shortly, but will definitely be purchasing the software). Now looking to add an audio interface and leaning toward the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4, mainly because it has the midi ports – appears this is the best bang for my buck on amazon. Being a noob myself, any apprehensions on this piece of gear? Thanks! Nate

@nits!! So thrilled you’ve fallen deep into the Ableton abyss – you’re in good company here!
The Focusrite interfaces are an amazing bang for the buck. I use a 6i6 for my system sounds (zooms, youtube, etc.) and i’ve had it for years and it never bothers me with software updates and it always works. I regularly recommend the Scarlet interfaces for their ease of use, portability, and great value. And they sound good too!
One additional note re MIDI: if the 4i4 seems like overkill for your audio needs, you could opt for a 2i2 and add a cheap lil’ 1-channel MIDI-USB interface to your Amazon order. Not sure if that’d save money but just offering that as another option.
Can’t wait to hear what kinds of fresh beats you been cookin up!! 🎧
