after looking, and searching for a better daw that didnt cost a grand - i have presonus one v3 artist....really very, very nice. intuitive GUI & loaded with nice features.
end of story - focusrite 50db of gain is really nice & quiet. tascam has a tad less gain - but more versatile also with quiet & clean preamps for a budget interface.
behringer....not so much.
50% less gain than other two. i cant use it.
its quite possible, since im still learning that im doing something wrong - but if i can get good results from the other two interfaces, i would hope that the fault does not belong to me.
comments / questions / suggestions are truly welcome.
most everyone on here knows a boatload more than me - and has the experience to back it up.
thanks all.
Strangely, I went through almost the same progression, but with different results.
Started with a US 2000 - thought the pre-amps were noisy and didn't sound too good.
Went to a Scarlett 2i2 . Nice mic pre- amps, great latency when used with a single VST instrument, BUT continuous and almost seemingly random clicks and pops when running multi tracks. Even using the biggest possible, buffers made no difference.
Relegated the Scarlett to my laptop for live use, where it works nicely.
Rather gun shy about buying an expensive interface after the Scarlett experience , bought the 404. Mic pre-amp almost as good ( no gain problems for me) , drivers better - handles mixes that would have made the Scarlett click and pop like my knees on a bad day.
Does have a tendency to go into la la land if I'm sharing the device, and switch from a 48K source to a 44K source while both are open.
