Focusrite Scarlett 4th Gen
Even with more budget-friendly interfaces, the same rule applies: check compatibility before you upgrade your Mac. A new Apple Silicon machine with the latest macOS can force your hand if drivers aren’t updated, so don’t assume it’ll just work.
Pros
- +Common, accessible interface tier for many home studios
- +Good reminder to verify driver and OS support
Cons
- -Compatibility can vary depending on macOS version and drivers
