Help me pick a new audio interface.

This is through NeuralDSP Omega Granophyre + OwnHammer V30 IRs, but sounds good to me.

As for interfaces, I highly recommend checking out the Motu M2/M4 as well! https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M4--motu-m4-4x4-usb-c-audio-interface

I'll definitely check those out as well. I've had them recommended to me a few times in the past. That actually sounds really good. Is that just straight IR's?

I re did that riff I had, and tamed the said frequencies by a hair comparitively (a 6db cut at 4k and a 10db cut at 4.3k) and I think it sounds better, but I'm unsure.

I just upgraded to an audient id14 from a scarlett 2i4 2nd gen, and honestly for the money (it's about in line with the price of a new 3rd gen 4i4) it's a better product. Built in DI capability, built in headphone amp, and way better sound quality from my preliminary tests (I haven't done any extensive A/B comparisons with the sound yet, so don't quote me on the better sound quality part).

If you're getting hiss/fizz with the NDSP stuff try lowering the input gain on the program a bunch. Or run a DI box into the scarlett (which is what I used to do).

Yep, just put your IR in a project with the NDSP plugin and used a slightly mid-boosted IR (OH 412 TRAD V30-MB1 L FORWARD1 M+)

I've got a few OH's. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Also, found a UAD Arrow for 350 USD. Worth it?

Been debating one of these guys for an interface upgrade, but haven’t heard too much feedback from out in the wild. On paper sounds kick ass for high quality with minimal I/O needs.
