Options for good quality audio including basic DSP/FX like Compressor and ideally clipguard?
I am looking at my options for a good quality audio setup for recording voice and doing conference-calls (and a bit of gaming coms), but I am specifically looking for options that include some basic voice DSP in the hardware, with DSP settings also stored in hardware! So, basically something like all-in-one packages like the rode podmic USB, shure mv6/7/7+, or an XLR mic like the sE DCM8 (I loved the sound in podcastage review!) and a lewitt connect 2 interface which includes clipguard, compressor and some other basic processing..
I know the focusrite interfaces are popular interface options, but afaik they dont have any DSP built-in, so I was wondering are there any other good alternatives in that rough price-range? Since I will be connecting the setup to different devices and operatingsystems, and some simply cant run audio-plugins, I want the basic voice-related processing already built-in to either the mic or the interface! (But not looking for a full-blown recording device like the rodecaster)
I have a pretty deep, calming voice and want that to shine. Ideally, I wish sE would offer a DCM8 with DSP and USB-C :)
