Damn.

It has been times like these where people are continuously searching for the best audio interfaces in the year 2024, and are often getting suggested Behringer products, Behringer being a company I don't trust due to the infamous KIRN CorkSniffer incident. As a matter of fact, Uli Behringer, the man behind his eponymous company, is a total nutjob. But, this is it. The Scarlett 2i2. For singer-songwriters, and weekend warriors (like me), and even the professionals. I cannot tell you how good this thing has done me. Gone are the days of me having to use a cheap USB mic from Razer, for this came with its own XLR condenser microphone. What I love about it is everything. Low latency promise is legit, Auto and Safe modes are fantastic for people who aren't used to fiddling with knobs or don't want to experience digital clipping in their recordings OR don't want to have a too wimpy signal, and the software included. Yes, you get software for free if you register the interface (with the interface's serial number on the bottom). What I don't like about it is the mic. I know, it may not matter since it's a low-noise cardioid condenser mic that's meant for virtually anything (better for vocals and acoustic guitars), but my room isn't treated because no one in my family ever considered buying acoustic panels because of their lack of knowledge for ANYTHING in the sound world. But I'm still rating this 5 stars, because even if it'll pick up noise, it's not gonna be all that heard when my mouth is closer to it. Did I also mention that the review is about the interface and NOT the mic? Threw you off there, didn't I? But, yes, this is a solid interface, and it will do you so much good along the way. Hell, probably better than what Behringer offers.
