Dreaming of a new & affordable multichannel audio interface?
Using a loopback test (DA to AD recording trusted/high end mastered reference audio) on a Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 doesn't reveal much glory. In direct comparison to a Lavry Blue DA and a Macbook Pro 2024 output we hear a narrow stage, resolution losses, a general unopen and intransparent sound with unnecessary emphasis on bass and presence bands. Little orientation and transparency all over the mids. Control software lacks central features (channel separation, phase reverse, routing flexibility).
Sadly such equipment will misguide your ears into making severe mixing mistakes. Mastering is simply impossible.
My tip: Do NOT use. Cheap and good? Doesn't work again, I'll get my money back.
Will return to a used RME for a while, at least ensuring an OK-neutral decision base for audio work.
