Hello Chi, I've also found this interface to work very well and with
sonar, you have access to more adjustments. However, I am experiencing a
problem as of late and wonder if you or anyone else has ideas what it
could be. This is ran through usb and when listening to the monitor and
using a mic with fantom power, I am hearing a low frequency motor boat
type sound on occasion. Not sure if its the computer, the Scarlet or
what. Doesn't always happen when fresh reboot and most of the time its
in there. Decided to try different usb ports yesterday and didn't notice
any real difference. suppose it could be in the power supply of the
computer. Any experience with this. otherwise, a great little product
and like it much better than the M-audio that I used and was totally
inaccessible. Like the knobs and switches. Dave

Hi All,
Sorry for the cross posting, but I'm sure it'd be useful information for
people looking for a new audio interface.
I just bought a Scarlett 2i2 second generation, and played for a day. I
wanted to let you know what to expect in terms of accessibility. Let's
go from good news to bad news.
The hardware is 100% accessible. Everything is switches, knobs, and a
button.
On Mac side, there's nothing to install, it works out of the box.
There's an optional low latency driver. Even if you install the optional
driver, there's no software for control panel.
You set latency and sampling rate in your DAW. This is no problem if you
use Pro Tools and Logic, but if you use software that doesn't let you
adjust latency, this might be a problem. One example would be the latest
Garageband.
I might have missed, but I couldn't find where you can adjust the
latency outside DAW. I didn't see anything about it in the manual
either. This should be a problem for everyone, not just VI users.
On Windows, you have to install their driver, and unfortunately the Asio
panel is not accessible. Screen reader reads only minimize and maximize,
not even the title. I haven't tested, but this might not be a problem if
you use wdm or Asio4All.
If you need an affordable, simple, secondary audio interface, it fits
the bill. There you go.
