Hi all! I hope everybody's well.
I'm replacing my good old Tascam US1641 which I was very happy with, but is not supported anymore. Right now I'm using Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen. as a temporary setup, on my iMac OS X Catalina, running Reaper.
I narrowed down my search to these two-three: PreSonus Studio 1810, or Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (2nd Gen), or Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Gen). My main choice for these is that they promise "plug-and-play", no drivers to install (and upgrade).
My first choice out of all of them would be PreSonus Studio 1810 because it has enough outs for monitoring (I need at least two sets of outs: one for the monitors, and another for the PA system through the mixer) as opposed to Focusrite Scarlett 18i8, which has only one pair of outs. 18i20 also has enough outs but it's more expensive, although I may find some good deal on ebay.
My questions is how they perform with Reaper on a system similar to mine? I'm quite used to working with Reaper and don't really want to install and learn something new (which come with those interfaces). Does anybody of you have any of those mentioned above interfaces and can share your experience? Please share and help. Thank you!
