Otherwise, it appears to be functionally identical to its predecessor. Regarding the card, I must say that my first impression when unpacking it is that its design is beautiful, the metal coating and the feel are very successful. Great, I tested it for 6 months, it works very well with Ableton Live 10. It integrates easily with both Windows and Mac, personally tested on Windows 10 with the FL Studio software and I haven't found any problems.

You can set up your Mac to process the two units as one input, but I've found that a little tricky and a little less reliable. Super fast Amazon Prime shipping! Excellent service and product. I do wish there were an easier way to daisy-chain the two Scarlett devices into a single device input, but it seems there's not a plug-and-play way to do that.

Value for money It's easy to use, with everything the home recordist needs on the front panel, such as input pad push-buttons, a phantom power switch and the option to monitor in mono or stereo and listen to outputs 1&2 or 3&4 via headphones (which have plenty of drive). It's possible to blend direct monitoring with low-latency digital monitoring via a front-panel control. As for the microphone inputs, they are clean and quiet with plenty of spare gain for condenser mics like my Rode NT1A and just about enough for low-output dynamic mics like my vintage Shure SM59.

I usually run a 3- or 4-mic drum recording setup—dedicated kick and snare mics, an omnidirectional dynamic mic as an overhead, and occasionally an SDC on the hi-hat—and the 4 mic preamps make the 18i8 perfect for this arrangement. The Pre-Amps are good sounding and do not have latency issues.

Thank you. Secondly, the level halos around the input gain controls give you no warning when they're about to go from green (OK) to red (clipping).

Not only was it able to fix my computer's sound card problem. I've only got a few gripes. The software bundle includes Ableton lite, some EQ and compressor plugins and a virtual Novation Bass Station (which sounds great).

Does not going crazy with volumes. It also includes an infinite number of software and libraries, some valued at 80 euros.
