Not me, but I'm curious. I've a loyal Cubase user since the 5th edition, now we are on 10.5!
My interface is RME babyface pro, it's killer! -------------------- My lessons

RME makes great gear to be sure! That one only has 2 inputs though right? Ben is wanting to upgrade as he wants more ins/outs than his current unit has. The BEHRINGER has a lot of ins/outs and it's nice and cheap! However, the FOCUSRITE is just a superior unit in terms of hardware/preamps/features/build/etc. It's just a better all around unit from a higher end builder. If you want to order one sooner than a few weeks out, can't you just go online and get one? So that you don't have to wait for your local retailer? The one I'm looking at is a Steinberg though, not a Behringer, though I know Behringer makes a cheap one with quite a few ins/outs as well. The Steinberg is actually more expensive than the Focusrite. It's about 650 USD vs 550 USD for the Focusrite. https://www.amazon.com/Steinberg-UR816C-Int...s/dp/B07YFGPN2J Unfortunately it seems most places in Denmark are out of stock for the Focusrite, and I had to go for a payment plan (with little to no interest), which meant it had to be from Denmark, which is not ideal, but it's okay. |

I've been checking reviews and some forums and it seems that Steinberg has better quality. I would go for that one unless you decide to for Focusrite Clarett which is much superior compared to Scarlets.
One question? Why do you need as many mic inputs? Are you going to record drums? -------------------- My lessons

Ah, I see. Ok, one important feature that I don't know if all interfaces have... my RME has a function called "Loopback" which allows you to make a mix of everything you want to stream or record on a daw. This function is fantastic for live streams and things like that. I recommend you to go for a sound card that includes it.
This one has 2 mic and 2 line inputs. You can assign this virtual output to any service like skype, youtube, zoom and twitch. https://tinyurl.com/yy56sh3c -------------------- My lessons

My bad! That is a very nice unit. Steinberg makes some great gear.The STEINBERG unit looks like it supports the LOOPBACK feature that gabe was talking about!! That would be pretty handy for streaming.
