Yeah, I like Focusrite, for sure. The Scarlett 2i4 I have, I bought used. Come to find, it had a worn out USB jack, so I bought just a jack and soldered it in. Not a difficult thing to do. However, after I soldered it in, the Scarlett no longer works at all. I dunno what I did to cause this, but apparently I broke it somehow. I'm figuring the cost to get it repaired will probably be at least what it's worth. So it's been indefinitely retired.

I've just been browsing interfaces, and I think that, rather than go for the M-Audio or Tascams I mentioned, which may or may not even work, I'm gonna buy a new one instead -- a Behringer U-PHORIA UMC404HD. 4 in, 4 out, 24/192k. Solid pre's. It's priced reasonably for what it is and, perhaps most important for me, it has gotten consistent great reviews.
