Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for a new audio interface for my studio and would really appreciate some recommendations.

I’m using a MacBook Pro (Apple M4 Pro, 24 GB RAM) running macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 so compatibility with the latest Apple Silicon Macs and macOS versions is very important to me.

At the moment I’m using the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (4th Gen) because I want enough I/O to integrate analog hardware into my workflow.

My budget is around the price of the Scarlett 18i20, but I’m open to spending a bit more if there’s a noticeable improvement in audio quality, driver stability, or expandability.

What would you recommend?
