    I'm moving from a 2012 Mac Mini to either a new Mini or maybe a Studio but my trusty old Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 will have to go.

    Haven't got the funds for a Clarett 8 so looking at Scarlett 18i20 3rd gen also considering Audient Evo 16 maybe Presonus Quantum 2626. 

    The hardware side is all fine but the drivers are the big concern. I don't need hundreds of tracks but want to be able to do moderate orchestration without nightmares.

    I'd appreciate any thoughts about experience with these.

    Happy New Year to all

    Hi,

    From personal experience, I stay away from Focusrite - there are other manufacturers with much more stable drivers (especially for Windows users).

    Best,

    Thanks Andreas,

    Good advice. That's how I ended up in OSX after years of Bootcamp Windows.  A windows "update" sent my Saffire into snap crackle pop land. Had to leave Samplitude behind. I just sprung for the Quantum 2626. We'll see
