I've been using a 1st gen Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 for the past 5 months. It has turned out to be very reliable and it works great but the only thing I don't like is the latency. I wanted to try out the 2nd gen 2i2 since Focusrite managed to lower the overall latency considerably.
PROS: • Easy to use. • Excellent sound quality. • Friendly interface. CONS: • No pad on the mic preamp input. • App settings can't be saved. Originally introduced in 2011, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 has undergone several revisions, first in 2016 (2nd Gen), then in 2019 (3rd Gen) and now a revision to 4th Gen.
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a simple stereo input box that's ideal for recording and mixing both music and podcasts. MSRP $169.99. $169.99 at Guitar Center. PCMag editors select and
