Anybody here using a Focusrite Scarlett USB audio interface with Tracktion and Windows 10?
Just wondering if that combo works well. I'm particularly interested in the Scarlett 6i6.

I've used a 2i2 (1st gen) for many years with Tracktion and then Waveform with no issues. I tend to use an Audient iD14 now because the audio quality is superior (despite worse but acceptable latency).

Not much to add to the previous post, except I currently use a 2nd edition Focusrite Scarlett 212, and it works great.
Previously used things like an M-Audio Firewire 410, Mackie Onyx Satellite, err, some creative audigy thing with a breakout box, years back, and various others i've forgotten, and always had weird noise issues. Like, ground loop type issues, and clicks, and dropouts, that might have been DPC related, that I could never quite cure. Haven't had anything like that, with the focusrite interface. Using it on a couple of different laptops.
Can't definitely say getting the 212 definitely "cured" those problems, because i'm using newer laptops these days, and SSD drives, but I just don't have the same hassles I used to. So i'm pretty happy with it ...
The plugin collective thing they do, where they give you a new plugin every month, has been a nice wee bonus too ... https://uk.focusrite.com/plugin-collective

Thanks for your replies! I'll probably get one of those then.

I recently updated from an 8i6 to a 6i6 gen 2. Works great.
