The Babyface Pro FS first appeared on our recommended list for USB Audio Interfaces With 4 Analog Inputs + Extended Channels in October 2021 and it remains on that list today.

It also appeared on our list for iPad Compatible USB Audio Interfaces from September 2021 until August 2022 when we placed a $200 price cap on that category making the Babyface Pro FS ineligible.
