    • I waited as long as possible to make the review for this to give them a chance to earn a 4-5 star.*It worked great for almost one week, then a loud droning sound started up and I spend hours upon hours trying to trouble shoot.*I was given another cable and even bought two more to no avail.*I borrowed another computer to test it on to find the same issues.
    • The setup is easy, and the recordings sounds great.
    • This works very well, is easy...nice clear sound.
    • This works very well, is easy...nice clear sound.
    • UP to get any sound out of the SHURE mics, which then led to distorted sound
    • Not only was it NOT fixed the sound was louder and now just touching it caused it to skip like there was an issue with the power cable or the jack itself.*I also apparently cannot return it and cannot afford to keep shipping it

    • However, in order to boost the sound of a dynamic microphone without distortion, you will still need a 48 volt powered line booster fed by a preamp
    • Audio sounds great when it worksWorks well with AudacityCons
    • The Focusrite Scarlett is a nice, simple and clean-sounding USB mic interface and I recommend it, as an old standby that's been lightly updated to stay technologically current

    • It gives good quality sound and was just what I was looking for.
    • My guitar signal goes to the iRig to PC to external speakers running off of my Creative sound card
    • The sound to noise ratio is amazing for something so compact
    • fits great with my bedroom studio, great quality sound, must buy
    • But this interface don't work correctly with active pickups, for some reason the sound is weak and to fix this problem I had to buy a DI Box.

    • The complete lack of any audible white noise makes playback of my voice sound totally unreal
    • Not exactly good when all of a sudden in the middle of the night the speakers in the kids' room start suddenly emitting a super loud high pitched sound when the driver decides to crash.

    • As you can tell it is super versatile, taking in either two mics (with great sounding mic preamps I might add), or plugging in directly with a guitar (The unit will take XLR or ¼“ instrument cables).

    • It's the sound that counts, and the Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2nd Gen) shines in that department, and provides plenty of phantom power for guitars and vocals.
    • The preamp is really good very natural sounding, build quality rock solid kinda wish they continue with making all the knobs metal but not a big deal
    • Works great, except after several hours of run time the interface glitches out and either the input and/or output has an unusable glitchy robotic sound that wont go away until I restart the device.
