I have a solo 3rd gen, so I was familiar with the product. I use a 2i2 3rd at church. So, I tend more towards my Linux OS because I hate windows. The Scarlett worked right out of the box on linux, the Focus Control 2 app doesn’t work on linux, but so far that hasn’t been an issue. It might become an issue when I connect to a DAW. But, everything works on windows, so I can just suck it up

It works well with all my instruments. I was easily able to hook up my guitar, bass, piano, midi, and saxophone (through a mic)

I just upgraded office PC to act as a DAW, the Scarlett 212 was part of the upgrade along with a pair of iLoud MTM MKII speakers. Great setup, great sound, small foot print. What’s not to love. Thank you Sweetwater for the fast delivery!

Pros: Great interface, easy to use, so far reliable.
Cons: hard to switch in / out of input / output modes on your laptop. When you use the interface and unplug from laptop, you have to switch the input / output on your MacBook settings each time or you’ll get the annoying echo.

I love this! This device was recommended to me by my Sweetwater sales engineer and it is exactly what I was looking for! It also came with access to some sick plugins which way topped my expectations. The interface works well, provides clarity, and does everything I would expect from an interface like this. I also love that you can save presets in the app. It makes it much easier to record multiple days and not lose my original sound. Also the Sweetwater service was amazing as always! When it comes to music gear and customer service, Sweetwater is the best!
