Sometimes one XLR port isn't enough, if you're podcasting with two microphones, or recording vocals and an instrument in the same swoop, and for that reason, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 has been recognised as an excellent audio interface. Currently, this marvellous bit of kit is down to £104 from Amazon, saving you a solid amount on its usual £180 list price.
As well as providing the benefit of a jumping-off point for more advanced setups, the Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen also offers you direct monitoring capabilities for your audio with a headphone jack on the front. This allows you to hear what you're recording in a take, and if anything needs adjusting or doesn't sound right, then you'll know right away. Some USB microphones have this built-in with a headphone jack on them, but for some setups, having it on your interface makes more sense.
The 2i2 also has the benefit of offering Focusrite's 'Air' mode, which is more suited to music production than streaming use cases. Focusrite says it can breathe more life into your recordings, through boosting the mids and top end to offer a sparklier, brighter sound. With the 2i2, you have the bandwidth to plug in both an XLR for your vocals and for your guitar, for instance.
