Hi Sam,
I have the Behringer unit. It’s pretty nice. Midas preamps, which sound
very good. The one I have has the weird characteristic that it only sends
the first two channels out the Main Outs. I have to believe that’s a defect,
but I haven’t pursued it yet.
I can’t really speak to the other units, although I have a Presonus
Studiolive 32SX I’m still getting used to. I love everything about it,
except that I can’t change scenes via MIDI.
Good to hear from you. Hope you and yours are well and staying safe.

Finally moved on getting a new desktop. Bought one from Jim Roseberry @
Purrrfect Audio (thanks for the suggestions!). Now, I need an audio interface.
Don't want to spend a ton, don't need a ton.
Current needs: 2 audio ins for instruments/mic. Phantom power. Midi I/O. Low
latency. Nice sound quality (should be first on this list).
I was going to go with the Focusrite 2i2, but no Midi.
So here's the list:
· Focusrite 4i4 gen3
· MOTU M2 or M4
· SSL 2+
· Presonus Studio 24c
· Behringer U-Phoria UMC404HD
Jim is suggesting the Behringer, which kind of surprises me. Granted, I've
been out of the game for a while, but I remember Behringer being not very
highly regarded. I have an old Presonus Compression unit I liked, but the
knobs got really scratchy after a while. Could just need a cleaning.
Anyway, any thoughts on these? What would be your choice?
Sam
