Trying to put a small rig together for airplane carryon.

Focusrite Clarett 4PRE maybe? Those red boxes work very well with any DAW. Of course the concept of "inexpensive" may vary so better just drop a budget here so people can perhaps find you better solutions.

$500 or less.

i have 2 of these: MOTU 4pre

i paid $516.05 USD, but now can be had for well under $500.

One possiblity within that price range could also be buying a 2-pre interface such as Focusrite Clarett 2PRE which has ADAT and then add 8 more preamps with cheap ADAT box.

The reason I try to "sell" you Focusrite is they seem to work so seamlessly with DAW's.

for airplane carryon ;-)

Oh, missed that part. Surely that ADAT box should go to checked bag

HI, i may be slightly off track here but i am struggling to work out how to post a new thread. I need some advice on the best audio interface to purchase. I am using PT 12.5 , Windows 10 and currently, the M-Audio M-Track plus. It does the job but i get a loud 'Hum' from it. This does not transfer to my recordings but it is annoying when monitoring playback. I am in the market for a replacement and i have been looking at the Focusrite 2i2. Can anyone throw some feedback my please, Cheers, GJM

Generally speaking Focusrites work very well with PT but you would be much more satisfied with Clarett than Scarlett, if you can afford it.

I'm a fan of Presonus interfaces. The Studio USB series are below $500.

Studio-68c

Or the Studio-1810c if you want all the pres on the front of the interface.
