The Steinberg IXO12 Black is a great sounding interface that really impressed me. It's compact, looks stylish and doesn't take up a lot of space, which is important if you have limited space. The sound is clean and transparent, which is immediately noticeable when recording - there's no muddiness or distortion. It's easy to set up, too, and the low latency helps you work smoothly even with virtual instruments. I especially like its versatility: you can record both vocals and instruments with this interface, and everything will sound professional. All in all, Steinberg IXO12 is a great choice for those who are looking for a quality interface with good features and don't want to overpay.
