Great input, Great protection, doesn't break just like nokia3310, the design is very nice, the box is smaller than my phone and i can share my awful taste of music now to even 1 more person.
After full day of recording and trying to sound like the bands i listen to, i actually make a good song and go to sleep, happy to progress further tomorrow. Well tomorrow comes and i realize how bad everything sounds. I try to mix everything perfectly only to now sound like from some cave underground homeless guy playing with a flute in my nose.
10/10 would throw this brick at my neighbour's window again

Pros:
1. Affordable
2. Solid Build Quality
3. Great Sound Quality and Control
Con:
1. Fingerprint Magnet
Non-TL;DR Version:
I was debating whether I'd purchase a Solo or a 2i2, but after watching and reading reviews, the 2i2 is definitely more future-proof of the two considering its input capacity.
This is my first time trying out and finally owning an audio interface, so I have no further comments except for its great sound and build quality (especially with the rubber stoppers at the bottom to avoid slippage). While not much of a big deal, the body is sort of like a fingerprint magnet and may require additional effort to clean after use.
Software installation was hassle-free, and works great with Reaper. I bought an Ibanez S521-MOL, and it sounds amazing with it.
To anyone who would want to purchase this product, you would probably want a headphone jack adapter (3.5mm to 1/4) as well.

Would highly recommend.
I only wish that some of the Focusrite options with more balanced outputs also had the direct monitoring switch on the box.

Its ease of use for live stereo recording is fantastic (both of myself with pianist and other singers). For recording guide tracks, direct monitoring is so useful and it gives a clear representation of the sound being recorded. It's simple yet elegant and has worked great with Reaper and GB.
For teaching online I use the direct monitoring to clearly hear myself with headphones on (for less vocal fatigue while teaching for hours a day).
The only con I have is that the USB-C connection socket is on the back of the box and the cable isn't really long enough for some circumstances. But that's being a real nitpick.
Make sure you get the cables you need for mics and a headphone plug adaptor (3.5mm-6.35mm (1/4")).

Pros:
- Simple controls
- Low latency
- USB C
- Good gain control
Cons:
- No monitor controllability (besides on/off)
Works perfectly with Ableton Live (it comes with Lite if you do not have it already) and some extra plugins. This is a great interface!

The interface itself came packaged well, no dents or scratches and the input jacks are all sturdy after much use now.
The signal is very clean and i've managed to get 32 bit out of it for any sound guys out there.
Word of warning to anyone buying this as their first dabble in interfaces however is to research latency and how to handle it and for the love of all thats holy watch the tutorials, it's like free sound tech tuition for those that know a little to intermediate tech guys.
Overall decent bang for yor buck, would buy again if i lost mine rather than look at another

And my first thaught was " why didn't i buy this 10 years ago" such a revelation to be able to record yourself so clearly , helps me a lot for my techniques ( specially avoiding fretbuz and muting in general) . Also great recording tool and great software that comes with it.
I picked ableton and am very satisfied with it.
so if you consider buying this , stop hesitating.
br,
Matthias

the led VU meters are great for setting up the levels and the different monitoring modes also come in handy
there is a reason why the scarlett interfaces has become well known among amateur producers!

Sounds is excellent, however I've compared it with some other interfaces which sounded better. The difference isn't worlds apart (and less noticeable in a mix) however the price differences are dramatic and I would say this is unbeatable value for money. And as always sound is subjective, while I think other more expensive interfaces have better preamps, I still really like the sounds processed through the scarlet preamps.
Very compact, I have travelled with it and recorded using my laptop (instead of my usual desktop) and it has been solid. I normally use it with windows and have had no problems with drivers crashing unlike some of the other interfaces I've tried which are more direct for Mac users.

Slightly concerned about the small usb-c connector in the long run but otherwise this is just going to live on my desk for a long time.
great for seamlessly switching between driving monitors and headphones without unplugging anything . I would advise this over the solo if you might want to control monitor and headphone vol separately

Money for value, not something that you will need to upgrade in the years to come.
Just make sure to get some cables too!
