    • Plays my speakers way better than my old onboard sound
I have an x370 asus crosshair vi hero motherboard with onboard sound and its supposed to have upgraded sound. I got new creative gigaworks t20 series II speakers and i could never turn my bass up near halfway because it would sound awful. I thought the speakers just couldn't handle the bass, i tried movies, games, many different songs, cds, the speakers just seemed like they couldn't handle the bass. with the new focusrite sound mixer, i plugged these up and the sound was 100% better. I could max out the bass if i wanted to, and it was clear and smooth. It sounded great at any settings i changed on the speakers, just like if you liked that setting. it sounded like it was working. there is no lag or any problems with this compared to a regular like pci card soundcard. its awesome and i plugged up a microphone and it sounds 100x better than my old onboard made my mic sound. people said it sounded basically before like a robot, very low quality with no real lifelike sounding to it. it made it sound way better. i got a new mic and it sounds very good for the quality of the cheap microphone that i did get. this is the best sound mixer/card ive ever got. great price to performance ratio. Update 4yrs later: The mixer has started to have audio crackles and starts to fritz out on me occassionally now after having it about 4 years. I have to unplug and plug it back up to get it to work again. Beyond any warranty period and a bit high for this length of working time. I've heard other comments but I can't confirm anything but have found a few other same results on focusrite. I dont know what else to pick, maybe should have picked something else. Should have done some research before I picked this up. I dont know if the newer versions would be any better. The sound was much better than my other motherboards "upgraded" sound compared to it, though. ... show more

    • I have the 3rd and 4th Gen now
Updating my review as I now own both the 3rd and 4th Gen versions of the 2i2. I've been using the 3rd Gen for months and recently acquired the 4th Gen. 3rd Gen: The device is great. I prefer the analog knobs for gain adjustment, unlike the new system where you rely on software to fine-tune the precise dB you want. Occasionally, on my Windows 10 machine, I experienced hiccups requiring a reboot or device refresh to resolve scrambled and choppy audio during gameplay while recording. However, I didn't encounter this issue with my Apple Mac Studio. I use a straight USB-C to USB-C cable with the Mac Studio, and it has been flawless. The AIR mode enhances the sound of my Shure SM7B mic. PROS: --Volume knobs don't require software. CONS: --XLR input in front. 4th Gen: I was initially confused about how auto-gain and clip-safe functioned, so I decided to test them out. Autogain analyzes your voice briefly and recommends a dB level, in my case, 22dB with a Shure SM7B with an inline booster. I also tested the new AIR+Drive mode. While I appreciate AIR, I found the drive mode less favorable, especially with vocals, as it resulted in over-processed distortion. Adjusting the notices on my SM7B mic for different frequencies, combined with AIR mode, yields optimal results. The recording quality of my voice sounds slightly better with the 4th Gen over the 3rd, likely because I can keep the volume knob lower, minimizing background noise. PROS: --XLR input in the back. --Auto-gain assists in setting the ideal dB level. --Better gain, allowing for lower volume knobs and reduced background noise. CONS: --Digital volume knobs require software for precise dB adjustments. ... show more
