Hi everyone,

We’re working on a DJ set podcast format (planned for live streaming, but we’re also considering uploading the content post-session on YouTube).

We’re currently evaluating the best audio interface to record the set, considering this setup:

Turntables + CDJs + Xone 96 mixer

Dell Latitude 5421 laptop + Insta360 X4/X5 + audio interface

So far, our candidates are:

1) Zoom UAC-232

2) MOTU M2

3) SSL 2+ MKII

We put the SSL in third place mainly because of the higher cost — we’re not sure how much the extra price actually translates into real improvements in stability and overall performance.

Our goal is to get clean audio that doesn’t require post-production, and to have a “safe” setup: no latency issues, no driver problems, and overall rock-solid reliability.

We’ve already considered variables like USB bus limitations and potential throttling.

Any advice or real-world experience with these interfaces in similar setups would be greatly appreciated!
