    Do I need to record beats machines in MIDI?

    Hi guys/gals, I have to buy a new audio interface and I'm thinkin to get the Focusrite but I'm undecided between the 2i2 and the 4i4, the difference is that the 4i4 has a MIDI in/out. Since I'm also thinking to experiment with some beats machines like Korg ones, in order to record with that...

    SPOTIFY normalization, anyone has experience with that?
