Super easy to setup and get ready for regular use
Once this arrived in the mail, it took me about 10 minutes to have it out of the box, plugged in, and working as intended. It is very high quality and is a great buy for someone like me who records music in his room.

Works for Linux out of the box!
This review is specifically for Linux audio use cases. (However, I praise its sound quality and versatility, which is OS-independent.)I had been using MOTU AVB series for quite a while, until their recent BIOS update broke compatibility with Linux (we use pro audio equipment for high quality audio streaming service). After some search, I decided to give Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 a try.The result is very pleasing! Right out of the box, it works in PulseAudio and JACK. The sound quality is excellent (I especially like the air setting for the vocal microphone).There are things I wish it had, but these are really minor things:1. I wish it had a built-in web server with API capability like MOTU AVB so the configuration can be truly cross-platform. For now, I can use their tool under Windows/OSX to configure it once, and then use it in Linux. (By the way, the configuration part is being worked on in the Linux community and it should be ready soon.)2. I wish the one could toggle the monitor meters between input and output. It'll help a lot in troubleshooting.3. I wish the headphone outputs were not hardwired to hardware ports so I can have even more flexibility.I am very happy that I found this unit. Many of my colleagues will get this instead as well.

fantastic value.
great preamps, cables, and software freebies. I was really just after the 8 preamps, but everything included is just great. live input monitoring (without plugins) is really great for avoiding latency. even though you can't really play with any software effects, I am totally enjoying this unit.

Price / performance is out of this world.I use mine to work studio one. I have some outboard gear I can route to and from It’s incredible

Easy to use for a newbie.
I write and record as a solo musician in a home-studio setup. The Scarlett 18i20 is an incredible piece of equipment for someone starting off on a path to recording live drums or lining in vocals and other instruments. The only drawback is Focusrite's software for the equipment blows so I don't feel I've gotten to fully utilize all of the characteristics of the 18i20. All in all work every penny!

As advertised.
