Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Generation 5-stars Reviews

Works well

Switched from 6i6 1st gen, the quality improvement is noticeable. More headroom for dynamic mics (eg sm57) and guitart with active pups (EMG 81/85) are cleaner. Also plays nice with a condenser (AKG P120+)

Nice to have the interface

It's light, easy to use, very good looking interface with sharp rich sound and low recording latency.

Very easy to use, and very good quality for the price

This one can make others of the same price seem inferior

This is a really good Interface, tried quite a few before, but I'm very happy with the purchase of this one, really liked that I can sync both inputs into one knob for a awesome stereo setup recording, and the shell is VERY sturdy, perfect for recording my instrument on the go in church and live streaming, and not worry about breaking. And the plugins that come for free with the interface are also a very good treat which makes the overall price of the item really a bang for the buck and affordable for such a high quality and nice sounding plugins. The only that can compete with this one in the same price range in my opinion is the SSL 2.

Very happy with it

It's a very good product. I've never used audio interfaces before, so at first it took me a while to use it with Ableton Live (which btw it's included with the purchase of this product with a tons of other plugins). But after less than a week of use, I can use it perfectly, the sound is amazing and I could record my first songs even though I haven't tried recording voice. I recommend it 100%!

Perfect

Mega equipment Advantages quality durability appearance

More gain for the mic but some problems with Windows 11

If you get problems with Windows 11 make sure to optimize it like I had to do. I thought it was hardware problem but its probably windows updates... now it works like it should.
