I'm looking to switch from USB 2.0 (Scarlett 2i2) to Firewire audio device on my Macbook Pro strictly because I have too many USB devices connected (2 daisy-chained powered hubs and an external USB monitor).
I'm on a budget so I was wondering if such a thing as a Firewire equivalent of the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 exists.
By equivalent I don't mean a Focusrite product, but rather something that has the same reputation as the Scarlett (value for money, decent hardware, good reviews, good for beginners etc.).
I'm having a hard time finding anything in the $150-300 range - is it not possible to get a decent beginner's Firewire device in that price range?
I have been looking at Behringer FCA610 which has some quite mixed reviews and Focusrite Saffire (above my budget) so I would love some suggestions.
PS. I don't mind buying used if anyone has any suggestions for some discontinued products that would fit the price range.
