Hi! My local store has the following 5 units in a similar price range. All of them have 2 mic/line/instrument ports as well as MIDI in/out.
I was initially favoring Scarlett 2i4 because of its ergonomics and presence of RCA outputs. But many reviewers complained about glitches such as crackling noise and frequent need to power unit off and on to make it working properly. That made me considers other possibilities.
I assume that similarly priced units from reputable brands will have similar quality preamps and sound. However I want to make sure that the unit provides the reliable and stable operation with Windows 7 and Windows 10 computer without pops/clicks/breaks.
Which of the units is more likely to provide the glitch-free operation with Windows 7 and Windows 10? Are you using one of these units with Windows 7 or 10? Please share your good or bad experience.
Thanks.
