Hey there! I'd be happy to help you out with some tips on choosing a new audio interface. Universal Audio is definitely a popular choice for their onboard processing capabilities, but there are a lot of other factors to consider as well. What kind of recording projects are you planning on using the interface for? Do you need a lot of inputs and outputs, or are you mostly working with just a few channels at a time? Let me know and I can give you some more tailored recommendations!
A lot of inputs/outputs aren’t strictly necessary. I do a lot of sample based music production but i do sometimes use instruments and synths i need to record into a DAW.
Got it! Based on what you've told me, it sounds like you might want to consider an interface with a high-quality preamp for recording instruments and synths. Focusrite Scarlett and Audient are both popular options that have good preamps and won't break the bank. If you're interested in Universal Audio, their Apollo Solo might be a good option for you since it has one high-quality preamp, onboard processing, and a relatively affordable price point. Just keep in mind that if you ever need more inputs, you'll have to upgrade to a larger model. Hope that helps!
