  • The Best Audio Interface on the Market
Style: Scarlett 2i2 Configuration: 4th Gen
I have yet to truly outgrow the 2i2, as I keep my recording process small, but I have also used this in gigs to run through my Mac with no problems at all. The process of setting up is extremely easy, the product itself is sleek and durable, while maintaining an extremely high quality sound. The price is shockingly low for how good this product is. There is zero noticeable latency, it requires only the power from my laptop or mac, and has functioned as my sole audio interface for my personal music use. When I eventually need to upgrade, I will get another Scarlett, most likely a 4i4 or invest a little more in one of their larger models. ... show more

Game changing for bedroom guitarists, run your physical pedals in stereo or mono through this into a decent amp sim on your daw and you’ll be extremely satisfied. Great quality and easy to use

  • I am very impressed
Style: Scarlett 2i2 Configuration: 4th Gen
The preamps in this have almost 70 decibels a gain, which means this will not struggle to power the most demanding of dynamic microphones, the first air mode adds a little bit of EQ which can make a darker microphone sound amazing the second air mode I don't particularly like as it really cuts out the mid-range and boost the highest and the lows and kind of makes it sound hollow on my voice The software is very handy so you can control the gain from the knobs on the interface or right off the computer software which I think is awesome The preamps give me a much more transparent sound and other preamps for example other interfaces I own seem to color the sound a little bit but they add a little something they alter the Sun that would say the word this one just sounds very neutral and transparent like it's not changing the sound at all If you check out the Danny lightning audio tech channel on YouTube you can see this compared to a couple of other units I also did a review video and something about the software so you might want to check that out as well but I'll tell you what can I so far I'm very happy with this I just wish they would add a monitor mix and it'd be nice if the software gave you a little number so you can see if you're at like zero 50 80 100 and so on on the game if you know what I'm saying those are the only two complaints but besides those two things and not really liking the second air mode the overall sound quality is very good and I'm very happy with the unit I mainly use a sure sm7b most of the time but I have quite a few different microphones, I used to always EQ my Acura estimate 7B but with this unit I just turn on the first air know that I don't feel like I need to do any further EQ adjustments which is awesome so yeah I really like this thing ... show more

  • Excellent product but shipped like a brick
Style: Scarlett 2i2 Configuration: 4th Gen
Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB - I love it. I am using a long line of multiple 2i2 devices from Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3 for years. I am happy with all of them. Very good built quality, plain, low noise, low distortion. They all meet manufacturer specifications. No inflated claims like some manufacturers do. Each model had some tiny glitches that did not affect my experience. So my expectations are high on 4th Gen. A box arrived quickly. I opened it and realized a box has no protecting layer to soften shocks, blows during transportation. Just over box inside of almost identical, only slightly larger box! This experience was not a good welcome to me. I believe such packaging of any electronics reduces product reliability. Didn't you see how sometimes drivers drop packages on concrete floor? So I almost feel like getting used product, am I too sensitive about it? Alone in my opinion such product should have some shock absorbing layer of foam material or air bubbles sheet? After opening a box I see a piece of paper printed with miniature characters. Microscope could help... But no guidance here how to get the first steps. Only warnings in very many languages. As I would need all this, very high priority to manufacturer but not to me! I think this excellent product has new functions that a purchaser is not familiar with. It would be highly beneficial if a a small hard card size like 2-3 business cards shows briefly what happens when each of new controls used. OK, I can find it in pdf user manual, but I don't want to print user manual for one of 15 models audio interfaces I have. So I will work with audio recordings while scrolling through pdf file, at least till I am familiar with all this product offers. After such observations I wish to get to recording... And pdf file does not tell clearly up front that utility program is actually a driver. I have to spend time to learn it. This is the very first item to perform after purchase, but info is written among other content, not up front. I want to install utility program but no info provided if 2i2 Gen 4 should be connected or not, during installation. I learn here I should go to the internet, manufacturer' webpage and get information how to proceed. A suggestion is strong - identify yourself first! So you can get audio recording software. But I don't use the internet on sacred computers. I don't wish to be exposed to Spyware and threats from Microsoft like this one: You paid for our Office Suite, but we make it stop at our convenience under pretense we check if you are the correct user???? So I will to install a driver only, no suspicious activities and forced "updates", no spyware on my precious computer. How do I proceed considering above? I loaded needed file on another computer, copied it to one working with 2i2 Gen 4. It works fine that way. The utility is just sampling rate changing program combined with a driver, at least on my computer. Nothing else. A device works well, nothing wrong. I enjoy it from that moment. I don't need extra programs for musicians. Now most enjoyable part - distortion and noise testing. Both are excellent low, exactly as shown on specifications. I really enjoy low noise that is closer now to that of higher grade Clarett+ noise. Regarding distortion, Clarett+ has specs about 0.0003% while Scarlett 2i2 spec is around 0.001% for all generations 1, 2, 3, 4. Truly excellent product here, amazing performance for $200 and this product is far ahead of other USB audio interfaces I used before. Important to me is the fact it can work with no AC/DC power adapter. Through my career I experienced scenarios that noise reading was lowest if USB audio device was powered through USB cable. Then noise reading was even slightly better if power supply disconnected from laptop. The noise reading was consistently worse if given USB audio interface AND laptop used both AC/DC adapters. The difference could be a few dB but sometimes noise spikes were 10dB and more above noise floor, depending how clean was power line, individual wall outlets. I will check later 2i2 Gen 4 on that noise immunity and will update my review. In terms of reliability, all earlier Scarlett 2i2 I used full time worked a minimum of 5 years. If something wrong happened, it would be in the "abuse" category like frequent plugging, unplugging in, out cables with ESD damage maybe. Or connecting to multiple other devices powered with AC/DC adapters and no isolating transformers between. I am a laboratory user, not a musician, so different considerations, scenarios. Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 is a great tool now for my audio experiments, audio test fixtures, audio signal measuring / analyzing setups. 5 stars, but no 5+ due to less perfect packaging with less perfect protection against abuse in transit. ... show more

  • A nice upgrade
Style: Scarlett 2i2 Configuration: 4th Gen
In a perfect world, you would plug whatever you have into a jack in your computer. A big red Record button would appear, you'd hit the return key, and A.I. would adjust the sound to match your favorite artist. I won't live to see this, but you might. For now, we have to tweak and adapt. I have a lot of respect for the people who design Focusrite interfaces. They make them easy to use yet suitable for many different applications. This little box has to work live, in the studio, with mics and amps, with guitars direct, with keyboards, singers, podcasters and so on. These are very different sources, so a person's impresson of a Scarlett may be great or not so great, depending on what they need it for. For me, playing a guitar into pedalboard, then into my older Scarlett 2i2 v.1, any attempt to play naturally, even with low output pickups and multiple compressors, sent the indicators into the red. Focusrite has fixed this with a new feature, "Safe" that works like a charm and without any obvious unwanted effects. Well done! (There is also an auto-level option, but this seems to work the old-fashioned way; it sets your levels so low that of course there's no clipping because even the loudest thing you play is just barely audible.) As for headpone volume, this seems to be a problem with all kinds of audio devices, no idea why. I thought they solved it with the Walkman. If you run into inadequate headphone volume, the only fix I know of is to use lower impedence headphones. I replaced my Beyerdynamic 80 ohm headphones with the 32 ohm version just to squeeze out a bit more volume. The other volume thing is that when you plug your Scarlett into your Mac, GarageBand disables the computer's volume control, so if you want to play along with music on your computer, you have a 3-way loudness balancing act but only 2 volume controls. The audio quality of v.4 is terrific and on a Mac, the Scarlett is plug and play. My new 2i2 v.4 came with an app, but it seems redundant except perhaps to check for updates. The manual is superb--they actually show you what to do with various DAWs, all of which, of course, look different. A very thoughtful bit of work. Finally, the Scarletts have very attractive British(?) designs, reminiscent of the old pre amps made by Quad. I haven't tried every audio interface but if you read the reviews It's obvious that none is perfect and none are easier to use than Focusrite. No wonder they sell so many. ... show more

  • Great Upgrade
Style: Scarlett 2i2 Configuration: 4th Gen
I upgraded this from an old image-line interface and its made a world of a difference. Way better quality, and now I use it for gaming as well as recording. Its nice to be able to shut off the pre-amp for a quick mute, and adjusting the input is easy.

  • Upgraded From Gen3 for headphone amp upgrade, to power HD650.
Style: Scarlett 2i2 Configuration: 4th Gen
I have the Gen3 and have been loving it paired with a blue bird mic and presonus E5, output sound is crisp and clear albeit 24bit vs 32bit, and the mic is warm and clear. I on a whim bought HD-650 headphones and started to look for a 300ohm stable amp, in comes the Gen4. I could have bought a dedicated headphone amp and likely been slightly happier, but for around the same price I can swap out audio interface to do it all with one. This does power the headphones up as loud as I care to listen, so pretty happy about the headphone output. I have not done much testing of the speaker output or mic yet, but I will point out a few things I do feel are upgrades. #1 They finally moved the mic input into the back where it belonged all along. As result though now XLR and instrument input are now separated, with instrument on the front and sadly not the back. #2 The auto gain actually works pretty quick and well from my limited testing. #3 I just feel it looks cleaner. Also this works perfect with a usb switcher, I have this hooked up to my personal and work computers through a cheap usb switcher works perfectly. ... show more
