Steinberg UR242 overview:
High quality! Good purchase!!!
Im not a beginner at home audio recording but this is my first usb audio interface. I use it around three weeks and I havent got any problem. It sounds good, looks and feels reliable. It has four inputs, MIDI in/out, line out, and for a small home studio, I think, its more than enough. Moreover it easily connects to iPad:)
