Superb audio quality when you have the analog input coming in to the Focusrite and take it as a midi output specially for digital streaming. The color coded control knobs are superb to know the audio threshold.

I'm just starting to get into recording audio for a animated film I'm making and this setup was exactly what I needed. I looked around for all the elements and this was the best priced kit offered anywhere. Glad I found it. I haven't had that much time to play with it but so far so good.

Clear sound, crisp and very low noise, we used this one to replace an old M-Audio and the difference is quite noticeable, the pre-amps work great, very intuitive to use, I just connected it to my Mac and it was ready to go, Logic Prod detected it with no issues, I am loving it.

Used for home recording with a macbook pro. Very easy to use, and it sounds fantastic - especially for the price. It would be nice if the box itself had an off switch.

I use this unit to Record BackUp Audio to my Mac when using my Nikon D750 to record Video. Its a great piece of equipment and does a great job! I'm not thrilled with the software but probably because its way more then I need. Overall, I'm very please with the Scarlet 2i2.

It's great for what it is, works well and is easy to set up (just downloading drivers). I like the dual-purpose xlr/amp ports at the front, meaning I can plug a microphone into one input and a guitar directly into the other without much hassle.
Love it, love it, love it!

Bought this unit to accept multiple audio inputs into a laptop in support of video conferencing. It works like a charm. The attached photo shows a condenser boundary mic to pick-up conference table audio and a single channel Wireless GO II input for the presenter.

Couldn't be easier to set up on my iMac. Plug and Play. Hooked up my JBL LSR305's and i was off to the races. Sounds great, easy set up, separate headphone volume, phantom power... what more could you want?
Software crashed my computer

Reviewed by DOLORES on B&H Photo Video
I ended up spending $300 and a couple of weeks to diagnose and repair my windows PC after installing the scarlett software and having a fatal crash. It created a BSOD/start up loop that was not self repairing after the interface was removed from the computer. Upon research, this is a known problem with the software for this interface. I returned the unit and will purchase something else.
Great Sound card!

We are using this card to get audio directly from a sound board to a PC that encodes sound and video for streaming. The setup eliminated an interference that was driving us crazy. Very easy to use and configure!

I am totally new to audio recording and this kit helped me get started pretty easily. Downloading some of the provided software that came with the Focusrite onto my PC was very time consuming and took some help, but other than that it's a great kit.

When the Avid device was classified legacy and there were no drivers for OSX, I replaced it with this Scarlett 2/2. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the performance, B&H price, and the ease of getting it here. I've used it mainly to get cassette tape and reel-to-reel tapes into my iMac.
