best multi-input/output interface for ios/ipad

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had wisdom to share on the best affordable multi-in/out (4+) audio interface for ipad/ios?

I have my eye on the focusrite Scarlett 18i8, even though it requires being set-up on a mac, I'm hoping it works fine after that (without having to go back to reprogram on the mac), so any direct experience with this would be appreciated...

However, anything with at least 6 inputs and 4 outputs would also work.

thanks!

I have a 2018 ipad pro (3rd gen)

    I have a Scarlett 4i4. Works well for guitar and vocal. Their is a iOS app for Focusrite but I have no tried it.

    Before I had a Steinberg UR24C. It worked also well.

    Hi, my Behringer UMC1820 has been reliable and versatile - it brought my various kit to life - all connected and easily routed (in and out) via AUM - its been around since 2016! Today it's a bit more expensive, about £220 but I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again. Check it out.

    Using Motu 8A here.

    Previously had the 16A, great interfaces.

    If you think you might ever want to route audio between devices, the iConnectivity Audio 4c is a good choice. It's the only one I'd buy at this point so as to leave that door open.

    oh great, thanks all, I'll check these out. UMC1820 seems like a very affordable options still.

    I own it and it's absolutely bonkers

    As a side question, which app could do a simple mutichannel recording which shows the waveforms as an audio editor? I have been able to do this using AUM but a way to edit them as well would be awesome
