Graham Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'm in the market for a simple stereo USB interface, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen seems like the obvious one, but is there anything else in the same price bracket I should consider?

Reggaebass Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I’m no techie and I got the solo 3rd gen, and it’s pretty much just plug in and play, before that I used an irig 2 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I really like this guy's very technical reviews of all the favourite interfaces out there: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0HrD4cTsQpAZ8KK9jPzzGg Julian Krause gets to grips with the figures and after a few different reviews, you can see some of his graphs comparing the benefits of each. I bought my Focusrite Clarett 2Pre before knowing about his reviews, so, I'm pretty pleased to see its a very solid contender, as is the Scarlett Gen 3 models. @Focusrite | Novation gets my thumbs up.

NancyJohnson Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I went to the Focusrite Scarlet after a change of DAW rendered my old interface incompatible. Worked great straight out of the box, I use it for audio in and have a couple of powered monitors plugged into it. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Have a look at the Audient iD4 as well, built like a tank, good preamps, same kind of price range. https://audient.com/products/audio-interfaces/id4/overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
