I've used Steinberg interfaces for years, and I like them pretty well. But, I wanted to branch out and trying something different. I also have an SSL 2+ which is a nice interface, but more expensive. I needed something a little less expensive, that was quick to set up and portable. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen hit the spot. They set up quick and easy, have decent sound, the software is flexible enough for me, overall very happy, I have three of them now.
