focusrite scarlet is a good option. I've used focusrite for many years with total satisfaction in the job it does. Very low latency.

Be sure it has phantom power, built in audio preamps, and uses ASIO drivers. (no codecs, and other proprietary software drivers.)

Presonus, M-Audio, Roland, are also good options. The interface is the heart of your studio so be willing to get a good one.

Also... consider a decent condenser mic... not a USB model. Then, a decent pair of studio monitors will get you where you need to be. Total budget can be under $800 for all the parts.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
