MOTU
If you want a compact USB-C interface with two solid mic preamps, extra line I/O, loopback, and unusually useful metering, the MOTU M4 remains one of the stronger choices in its class. Its biggest limitation is that the 4x4 layout does not mean four mic inputs, so buyers tracking multiple microphones at once may be better served by a larger interface.
A confident pick for the right buyer, with trade-offs that are easy to understand.
