TAE, The Behrry, I confess I only had a week or so with the interface, very happy with my NI KA6 (another reccy btw) then I posted it to son in France.
Now he is terrific musician but struggles with technology and we spent quite some time on Skype sorting out operational issues. Then I treated myself to an M4 and was so impressed I bought one for son as well (it was his 50th bd and his sister sent him SHEDS of stuff, cost them a shit load in import taxes....FUCKING BREXIT!!)
Son plugged it up and I heard little from him since re problems.
So yes, if on a budget the 204/404HD will make superb recordings. I doubt the M4 is audible better, especially used with other budget kit but for both of us it is just a much better 'thing' to use.
Dave.
