Any of the audio interfaces you listed will do just that.
Nobody can really decide that for you though. That's going to come through experience and you determining what gear meets your specific needs. This is why I again suggested just buying stuff used to start. Then you're at less financial risk upfront and can always resell anything you don't gel with.
Don't worry about getting it all perfect from the get-go. What you want/need from gear will potentially change over time with experience.
100%. Asking this question and expecting to get the "right" answer from a group of strangers you've never met, have little-to-no no information about their background, and have absolutely no background about any particular brand bias they may/may not have is completely unrealistic.
In reality if you dedicated a weekend to simply looking at a bunch of posts and crunching numbers you'll find that everyone has some kind of bias. Some of these biases are warranted, but many of them aren't, as no one product will EVER checks all of the boxes you want it to. The few that might are going to be on the expensive side. (RME, well established as excellent for low latency performance. )
Even then... Some brands fetch a high price tag while in reality aren't necessarily leaps and bounds better than brands slightly less expensive, some brands will fetch a high price tag and have been proven time and again to be industry workhorses.
Your budget is realistically the lower to midtier 'prosumer' market. You either need to accept that that's your financial reality right now. Do some research on what products sit in that price range and consistently are well liked...
I'll offer a metaphor most can relate to since it's one that anyone can understand the financial impact of... Lets imagine you were looking at buying a more expensive item, we'll use a car as an example... Would you go onto a forum and ask what is the best car you can buy for $15999-$19999 and blindly buy it based on the word of some strangers on a forum? Would you test drive it if at all possible? (Some of these items will be available in any major music retailer like guitar center)... And/or if that reality were some how an impossibility would you at least do as much research as you can before parting with the cost of that car?
More importantly: You're not going to get a Porsche/Mercedes/
Pick-your-high-end-brand-sports-car for the cost of an economy car.
Basically this question is asked about 15 times a day on this forum alone, let alone any other... All you have to do is substitute the type of product, and insert few different brands that person was already looking at and you have an endlessly recurring question...
- Which headphones do I buy? I like Sennheiser and Audio Technica but I can't afford either.
- Which String library is the best for legato? ... I have Spitfire product xxx and Orchestral Tools product yyy, but I can't afford any of their dedicated string libraries.
- Which are the best "mastering" speakers under $400? (Hint - there's no such thing other than the speakers you can afford and know well...)
I'm not being snarky.. Just emphasizing that this is the best overall answer I've read so far... YOU have to decide. You can either phone that decision in by asking a question and rolling the dice... You can answer it by listening to anything that might be available at a retail location depending on your retail/covid situation... You take the weekend and gather info and decide what averages out to 'seemingly' check enough boxes without being able to try the device in person... And most importantly have realistic expectations about your price point. The music hardware market is competitive... More often than not products are more or less on equal footing if in the same price point... You typically get what you pay for... And you get a whole lot at that price point now than you did 15-20 years ago.
Ultimately you'll probably be a whole lot happier if you do the research yourself and buy something once
you feel confident.. Letting others dictate your purchase is a potential way to end up with buyers remorse. That doesn't mean you will but IME that's the best option if you don't have access to trying something in person...
And at you price point you have a finite amount of options... So choose a well respected retailer and see what's available in your range... Assuming an online purchase is the only option then read reviews from several well respected different places and see what seems to average out as best value for money..
First place I'd suggest comparing items in your range (in the US) are Sweetwater and B&H...
Ironically I'm about to offer some biased advice
Mackie is middle of the road these days. An equal priced Presonus speaker's really no better or no worse.. The same could be said about most 'consumer' priced nearfileds... At the price point you're talking about everything's
generally on equal footing... One may have better bass, another clearer highs, another wider range, but all are consumer nearfields and ultimately aren't necessarily sugnificantly better than anything else in that range... There's always exceptions but competition tends to keep things fairly even in the lower to mid price range.
The point is is that your impression of Mackie could be based on bias, marketing, I don't know... But Mackie monitors now aren't the Mackie monitors they were 15 years ago... They're about the same as anything else in their price range... So do some research and see what you feel averages out as well rated and reliable in the range you're looking at..
