It worked. I can't believe that you literally had me do the equivalent of turning it on and off again. Well I feel dumb now. But I guess people who have the same issue will find this thread in the future so.
Thanks 😄

@gal-m Noted, I will tag people now. And I acknowledge what you are saying, I noticed that everything has a chance to arrive defective, even the high end stuff so I'll remove that from my search criteria.
The more I read about the Focusrite Clarett 4PRE USB the more I like it. Even if it is entry level, it feels like it's at the latter end of the level. Has an external power supply, no unnecessary fluff that can go wrong, it feels like a great straight forward thing. It does one thing and it does it well, or so I get the feeling. Most other interfaces in the price range I want to start with, generally seem to bang on Features. I already fell for that 😄 My 7:1 AV Receiver is a feature rich box of sci-fi ((Sony STR-DN1080)) and it arrived defective. And I don't even use the features.
I'll sleep on it for a few days. And then start looking for mics that will cooperate well with the Clarett. I want to start with a matched stereo pair of some sort. My ultimate goal is to record thunder strikes. But do it well. Real life thunder sounds so expansive and spacious and I love it. Thunder in video-games sounds pretty bad in comparison, narrow and weak. I imagine a ORTF setup with a matched set will do the trick. Just need to find Mics that can handle the pressure level that arrives here after a good thunder strike.
((I realize I am using an externally powered interface for something that could be technically considered field recording but I'll manage.))
@Orbital_Aurora I will remember those names for future reference. I did stumble upon the Antelope yesterday. It's odd that it took me about four days to get google to show me something other than Focusrite or Steinbergs.
Edit:
Someone please convince me that I don't need the Antelope Audio Discrete 4 Synergy Core because it's perfect in every way imaginable. Just expensive as hell 😄
Again in general I am immensely thankful to you all for helping me enter this realm and showing such patience with my questions I could easily google, and I do, but I never seem to understand something unless I waste someone's time to have them explain it to me like a child. Again I thank you all.
