Hello!
I hope I’m in the right thread. I’m new here and would love some help on understanding/choosing audio interface for my needs, this will be my first one so it’s rather exciting but also difficult for a neewbie!
My set up at the moment is an osmose expressive, microfreak and microcosm pedal. I’m also looking to get a condenser microfone for vocals. I would prefer to have everything connected at once and also use an output for software instruments to go through the pedal and back in again. But at least have most of it plugged in. Oh and important to note that sounds I create often have low volume, very soft and ambient. So decent gain would be prefered and low noice floor since I may have to turn up both gain and volume quiet a lot sometimes
I’m also a fan of subtle sounds and soft silent music 
I’m currently considering a pretty good offer on a focusrite clarett+ 4pre, but I have read much about the gain issue. I’m still rather new (this will be my first interface) so I would like the controls to be as simple as possible (unless audio quality is really amazing then I’d def learn how to use it somehow). I borrowed this from a friend to try and with the low volume pads through the pedal I did have to turn up the gain a lot and also add a decent amount in my dav. So I’m unsure about this one.
I also saw a pretty good offer for a Motu 624 AVB but I know nothing about it.
And am considering motu ultralite mk5. It seems to have all the ins and outs needed for a really good price too!
Prefered price would be under $800, but if it’s the right one I can be flexible!
I have a mac computer that can handle thunderbolt.
I have not looked att all the interfaces so there might be many good one I’ve missed
so do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
I hope someone can help. I would be deeply greatful! Thank you so much
