very good product easy to use, the most complicated thing in the story is the use of the software we use.
For my part, I wanted to record myself on the drums, I took Audacity, after some research on the net, I found the solutions to my problems.
Using the Scarlett is not very complicated and quite simple even for a beginner. the product looks quite reliable, to see over timeAutomatically translated

Simple and well designed The only downside is the Ableton Live 10 software, which is very powerful, and therefore almost too (complex) to record voice and guitar. It's a software pro that allows everything and is limitless. Fortunately, there are plenty of tutorials out there.
For the complexity that it manages it is very well made and very ergonomic. You shouldn't think about recording the next day with Ableton Live, I think.Automatically translated

Simplify installation as soon as you plug in.
I made a mistake by installing it 2 times, which causes the caches to generate a break. A change in the caches solved the problem.
The software installation provided is simple and allowed me to plug in my guitar in a short time and play with amp simulators.Automatically translated

This is my first USB sound card I can't compare but it seems to me to be of good quality.
My Win10 computer recognized it directly. As soon as I installed the Focusrite driver the latency was greatly reduced.
Just a shame that the R/L line outputs are jack instead of RCA but there are adapters.Automatically translated

Impeccable sound card with software that is good to download. Used to record the sound of two accordion microphones in stereo using the two inputs. With the button to activate the phantom power required for my all-impec microphones
