![]() The Clarett range is definitely a big step up. Sacrifices have to be made at that price point, for sure, and I'd take one over the little Tascam US-122 I got at a similar price point 15 years ago (which is just a long way of saying that things have come a long way in 15 years for budget recording). The DI also leaves something to be desired. I've used a Scarlett and found the preamp to be a weak point. I'm hoping this gives me much better sound. I think it's the same pre-amp and converters that they used in the Saffire line, though, and I do have a Saffire product at home.Īnd I have never loved the sound of that. It's a nice and well made box, no one uses it much here and I can't say much about how it sounds. I bought a Scarlett for here at work, I don't use it much. I had a Duet for a while and liked it, I didn't like the form factor, though. ![]() Well, if you can stretch the budget a bit and get to the Focusrite Clarett range, you might find yourself with something that is Apogee quality. I'm a total beginner here and have invested in this stuff partly to learn it all, so explain to me like I was 5, please. So, is there anyone here who has used both interfaces and could tell me a bit about the differences about them? I have a feeling the Apogee is the better one, but it's also made to be used primarily with Macs, so how does it do with a PC? Which is more user-friendly? Which sounds better? I'd be running it into a PC that is really on the lower end of what a recording computer ought to be, but which will have to suffice for now, and I got Cakewalk (Platinum SONAR) to play with, plus a bunch of other stuff that came with the Akai MPC Touch. So, I can either get a brand new Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with all the bundled software for about 100€ (I have a close relative who runs a music store and can let things go for more or less what he pays) or a second hand Apogee Duet 2 in good condition. It's all for hobby use, so stuff doesn't have to be top notch, but for the money I have, I obviously want to get the better option. I don't have tons of money and I'm not ALL that serious about making it either as a producer or recording musician. ![]() Apart from a MIDI keyboard and a drum machine/sampler, I want to get an interface for recording vocals, guitar, bass and so on. ![]() I've sold off a few guitars and started investing in a bit of recording equipment. ![]()
