I sincerely appreciate ALL the feedback from you guys. I get easily frustrated with lots of buying decisions, and musical gear is always a tricky compromise when you have a budget.

So I took some time off to get my head gear-clear and consider what I really want to do in my unique situation. (I live full-time a good hour to hour-and-a-half from the so-called Central Business District of Bangkok where shopping is plentiful IF you know where to go, but some items are more expensive IF you can even find them at all.)

So for reasons related to the future, I'm going to be returning the Scarlett Solo. I'm going to stay within their family of products and get a unit with two matched inputs for stereo. Also going for midi I/O for the future when I might want a keyboard/controller. I can't "play", but I can noodle, keep pretty good time, and edit.

Here's the unit.

I've already had to call the missus to let her know the account has taken some unexpected hits. I'm going to wait till I see her to tell her about the raise, however. LOL. She might call off the hit-man and I might get extra-lucky. I sure hope so.

Thanks again, all. I really, really appreciate it.
