External sound card Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen Review

Has some pros: Good sound, good amps. A convenient card + a lot of software is given on the card website when confirming its serial number. There you can find from pro tools to vst plugins and autotune Got cons: the only negative is the monitoring of the TC there is no dsp, but I think this is not critical

If you are considering this sound card, then you have probably already heard that this is one of the best options in this price segment. So, it's true, feel free to buy :)

Unveiling my objective opinion.After a while, I sold it, because she did not pull out my microphone, and she also behaved strangely with the amplifier

Stands on the table gathering dust) Even if you were in a hurry), but if you suddenly want to write something down again, then everything is at hand.

After reading reviews about problems with firewood, I wanted to buy a second generation, but the seller said that the second one was over, and offered a third one for the same money. Honestly, it was extremely profitable, and I decided to take a chance. SDEK drove two weeks by courier to the door. Dancing with a tambourine around the firewood was small. Did not get up the first time off. site. Compared to the built-in there is a noticeable difference. The sound is more transparent and pure…

Pros below: Easy installation, build quality, style, indication I especially like the Air button, from which the recording quality becomes much more pleasant With its cons: The price is a little expensive, but if you don't want troubles, then take it

Has some pros: Excellent audio interface, measurements showed good input and output parameters (THD, signal/noise, intermode, etc.). I didn't find any problems with the software. With its cons: There is no support for Linux, it will work partially without crutches.

In general, 5-ka, for the money an excellent result! Has some pros: I used the first generation and eventually switched to the third, I’m completely satisfied, finally the headphones sound decent, I was pleasantly surprised because in the first generation the headphones immediately went to dust on the shelf, the microphone also surprised me, in theory I thought it was purely for demos to be written into it, but lightened it up and got a good result, worthy! Cons below: Together with the studio,

Has some pros: Everything generally works as it should. There is some semi-free software. With its cons: No loopback rather meager built-in functionality (only air effect, and direct monitoring)

Excellent universal audio interface, simple and easy to use. I connect it to a computer running Ubuntu. The interface is recognized without problems, no additional drivers are required. Works equally well with various sources (dynamic and condenser microphones, guitar and bass processors, electric and bass guitars with passive and active electronics).

With the quality of these cards, everything is clear, for the amateur level, the de facto standard. Installing the drivers in Windows 10 went smoothly. On Linux Mint it works out of the box. I tried to record an electric guitar through 2 different microphones, also through an instrumental input to the VST plugins of amplifier emulators. Everything is cool, everything is great. Monitoring without delay in stereo mode is a real pleasure. I have not found any complaints yet, it works stably.

The lack of cardboard sound is corrected by setting the sample rate to 44100, as one of the commentators suggested. After that, the sound becomes "more alive/brighter" Perhaps this shortcoming is relevant only for systems based on AMD. Initially I bought an Audient EVO 4, but at the maximum amplification of the inputs, it started to flicker (weakly on one of the channels, noticeably strong on the second), I didn’t notice such a problem here, everything is clean.

In terms of sound recording, it's great. In terms of listening, it's rather weak. In the end, I regretted taking this card. It would be better to pay extra and take the older model (clarett). Be careful when installing drivers: when downloading from the official site, they offer registration, during which they are asked to send them a card serial. If you do this, then the card will already be considered yours. You will not be able to take it back to the store

Many years later, I switched from my old Lexicon Alpha to this wonderful box. Purchase, in general, more than satisfied. I can probably recommend it to everyone, since the card, in my opinion, is universal. Took for writing arrangements and recording electric guitar. Another would be a midi input, and there would be a top for the money, but here it’s already clear why this is the most popular card in the world, among fellows in the price segment. Respect to the Focusrite company, all the…

Very satisfied with the purchase, she works out her money completely (14.999r) Pros: The sound rocked my ATH-M20x, bought 3 years ago, a sub appeared, a stage appeared, I was very surprised. Monitors also began to play more pleasantly, more detail and depth of sound. (I compare with the built-in one, on which I sat for a couple of years) Design, visually and tactilely pleasing Little delay! Independent monitor and headphone volume controls Combined XLR and Jack inputs Thunderbolt (USB-C) - you…

Got pros: There is no point in talking about this interface, everything has already been said. Some cons: Given the price, quality and functionality - there are no shortcomings.
