I couldn't find a first generation Focusrite, I only found the second generation for sale. For recording I neither need card hardware, nor software monitoring, I could do this using my analog mixing console. >Of course if you use virtual instruments latency is important, but I >always used the Scarlett as a simple recorder, so I cannot tell if it >works, I usually use a PCIe RME card when using virtual instruments >and it works well even with vanilla kernels and threadirqs, I get some >xruns when I use some heavy cpu virtual instrument sometimes. You seem to have better luck than I've got. My PCIe RME card doesn't work correctly with Linux, so I want to replace it by an USB audio interface, apart from this the USB interface must work with iOS, too. A few minutes ago I ordered a PreSonus 1818VSL. Which RME PCIe card do you use? Mine is a HDSPe AIO.
