Transparent sound, super low latency, Decent monitoring effects, sturdy construction
When my 7yo 1st Gen Scarlett 2i2 broke, I was torn between this and the similarly priced Scarlett 8i6. Here is a comparison between the 2, because if you're looking for anything with over 2in/2out under $300, IMO these are the only 2 contenders worth looking at.- ONBOARD DSP gives you Zero-latency monitoring effects, including a usable guitar amp. These aren't UAD caliber, but monitoring an amp sim on the guitar and reverb/compression on your vocal will bring out extra feel and nuance in your singing/playing. I think this is what sold this product for me. I haven't seen DSP on anything else in this price range. Make sure to set the Effects from "Send" to "Monitor".- 4 preamps. The UR44 has 4 mic/inst, whereas the Scarlett 8i6 has 2 mic/instrument w/pres (the rest are line in and an SPDIF). The pres are super transparent, but the Scarlett's are fine too. There's no "Air" type of effect like the Scarlett has, which would have been nice to have, but NBD.- Low latency - My computer is over 5yo (Mid2014 MBP) and I ran a pretty big project at 6.3ms roundtrip w/ zero issues (playback and recording). I didn't see an option in Logic Pro to make it go any lower or I would have tried. I didn't try any monitoring effects because I'm using the DSP effects. I heard the 3rd gen Scarlett is good w latency as well, so this is probably a toss-up.Construction - I'd give the Scarlett a little extra points here because the scarlett is more of a Unibody design, but this isn't flimsy by any means. I feel comfy tossing it in my DJ bag.MIDI in/out - They both have it.2 Headphone out - Both have it, you can have a click track in one submix but not the one that goes to FOH, so that's nice if you're using this for a live performance. These headphone outs are louder than my old Scarlett (I'm using ATH-m50x)Loopback, which is great if you're taking a screen capture of your DAW to tease on insta. They both have it.Erm I think that's it. I have my display scaled all the way to the max, and the SW is tiny, but w/e.
