Motu Traveler mk2
There are a lot of multichannel audio interfaces on the market, and many of them have similar specs. I haven’t tried that many, but my impression is that they ARE very similar both in design and sound quality.
I initially bought a Motu UltraLite and was very happy with it. I have never experienced any problem with Motu interfaces, and I really liked the smallness (it fit in my laptop bag) and rugged design of the UltraLite. But when a coworker said he wanted to “downgrade” his Motu Traveler for a UltraLite, I suggested a trade which he accepted. The only reason for me doing this was that the Traveler has 4 mic preamps where the UltraLite only has 2. For me this means that I can take the laptop, the Traveler, and some mics, go to our rehearsal space and record 4 channels of drums. With my TLA 5001 4-channel mic preamp I can record 8 channels.
