    Good on paper, rubbish in practice.

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the 2i4. On Mac OS, everything runs well so far, even though the driver basically provides no setting options. On Windows 10 (via Bootcamp) it is a disaster. Sometimes it is not recognised at all. I reinstalled the driver and the Windows audio service now runs constantly on 80% CPU. The worst thing, however, is a loud whistling and cracking noise in the speakers while Windows starts up - response from Focusrite support: "The problem is known, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do. The suggested solution was that I should always switch off my speakers while I start the computer, as if this were normal. I have never experienced this with any audio interface.

    It's a shame, because the sound and features are actually top-notch.

    After the Presonus Audiobox iTwo and an Avid FastTrack C400, I still haven't found an audio interface that runs perfectly on Mac and Windows.
