Recommended USB Hub for MacBook Pro M1 (Music related)

Hi all, I purchased a USB Hub c/o Ozbargain from Amazon back in early July. It has 3 x USB-A + 1 x USB-C port, and has 1 x USB-C out
I have 2 x Midi Keyboard Controllers. a Focusrite Audio Interface, and an iPad I have connected up, however, I've not found that I have been able to have all 4 devices running at the same time.
I assume it's not drawing enough power perhaps, that all 4 devices require, as I noticed that the Komplete Keyboard, does not fully light up.
I've seen the small A-Logic Nano ones, that plug into both USB-C ports, and I assume I can plug another hub into that, if the PSU is plugged into the Nano. I do however have a plastic clamshell on the base, to protect the unit (I have had a near miss with my previous MB Air.)

Any advice from anyone in regards to affordable units (The Alogic Nano is $100+). I thought about trying a cheap 7 port hub, that can be powered (i have a spare one somewhere?)
