Title says it all, any advice? I always see the Focusrite Scarlet's showing up on the list but when I dig into the reviews, it doesn't seem as "pro" in that range and it could be.
Anyone use the Audient at all?
Finally, if I wanted to get an interface that could be used in a live setting (bringing the keyboard to a mixer/pa speakers), would there be a nice all around option?
Thanks for all your help fellow forumers, this new Nord journey has been so fun!

Re: Best Audio Interface for Keyboard to Mac Recording?
I’m partial to Universal Audio and they just came out with a lower cost interface that has received good reviews.
I’ve also used Roland’s Octacapture.
For dual use check out the Radial Key Largo

I just bought a Yamaha AG06 for the same purpose(s), and while I am a total noob and still figuring out how to use it properly, I like it very much.

I Use Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and i1820. The 2i2 has a problem with the USB cable falling out, the i18/20 doesn't
I use Keylargo by Radial for live performance

MOTU UltraLite Mk 5. Incredibly flexible. I also looked into the Presonus Studio 1810c and Focusrite 18i8. Felt that the UltraLite had the best features for the price, despite being just a bit more expensive than the other two.
