Superb - A great upgrade on smaller versions.
LocoRoco 29.09.2021
I upgraded from the old Scarlett solo for two reasons - I needed more input and I needed an improved workflow.

This allows me to feel like I've got a little studio at my desk. I have my synths, mic and instrument cables all neatly plugged in and ready to go.

The software for setting up your output mix is a little complicated at first and doesn't seem to fit my screen perfectly, but it allows me to customize the 2 headphone mixes.

It fits on my rollout desk next to my midi keyboard like a dream.

I've had 0 dropouts or failures with it after 6 months of use.

One of the key advantages of the Scarlett 18i8 is its high sound quality.

Impressive
Vic Rose 25.01.2021
A cool confident product with almost analogue appeal. I simply love touching this thing, the knobs are smooth and I get the same from a milimeters shift that I would get from a whole centimeter on other devices. 8 in 8 out with multiple headphone sockets this beast of home studios performs as good as it looks, once you update and register its software, do not attempt to plug and play without adding its digital components, you was warned.

More than enough
Folia Soundstudio 07.10.2022
The 3rd generation of Scarlett interfaces is simply best in its class. Clean sounding, stable working. The mixer is a bit limited, but I'm being spoiled by RME TotalMix, so I expect same functionality everywhere.

The only serious flaw that it sometimes causes issues, when you are working both with ASIO driver in your DAW and Windows driver for your system sounds at the same time. People report it online, I also encountered that.

Amazing interface
Omrikush 04.09.2021
no need to say much about the scarlet interface. had the 2!2 for many years now needed more inputs and that's the perfect choice . if you need more than the typical two input interface that's the one.

Perfect for remote live and studio recordings
lardgraves 11.02.2024
Easy to carry, very nice transformers. Bang for your buck audio interface. Recorded vocals, guitars, synths (through stereo fx pedals) with it so far and i'm really loving it. Can be used for live shows too if you dont have more than 4 sends out to the front of house. One misconception tho, the unit doesnt have 8 outs, it has 4. Other 4 outs are SPDIF and stuff.

the best you can get for this budget line
abarrote 23.02.2021
Definitely recommended. I researched for USB interfaces for a while and didn't want to spend a lot of money while getting good results at the same time. This is definitely an excellent choice for this price line. Couldn't be more happier!
