M-Audio AIR 192|6

I am using this for my home studio and it's okay for my casual use. The clarity of the sound and recording is good and user friendly. Would like it to be more compact or the sound to be crisper but it is okay to what I only need. You can purchase this if you are just using it for a home studio. If you need more for professional use then buy higher specs but it comes with a price.

I was between this one and the Focusrite and 6 months later I am definitely not regretting going with M-Audio. It is sturdy, the knobs are good quality and the sound is crystal clear, the preamps in the balanced inputs are very good as well. Furthermore, the addition of the direct output paired with the ability to mix it with USB is incredibly helpful. The only problem is that after a few months of use, the little rubber legs underneath it started coming off as they are only held to the body with some not so strong glue.

Overall a very good choice!
