I just got one-superb, couldn't be happier. Only had it a few days, but have been tracking drums, and recording 7 tracks simultaneously at a buffer of 32!
The only thing is, that when you register, the characters
are case sensitive. And if you are instructed to update the firmware; well the Scarlett didn't work correctly until after I
reinstalled the drivers as well. Smooth sailing ever since.
Oh, and one more thing. After start up, in mac's audio/midi app, the Scarlett defaults to a 14in/16 out device. I change it with the pulldown to 18i20. Minor hassle, but haven't figured out why this happens.
Good luck!
