If the CPU starts spiking randomly and causing crackling noises, toggle the buffer size setting to fix it (for some reason I have to do this with Pro Tools sometimes but not with Ableton Live).ģ. Make sure to close all audio applications before unplugging the interface from your computer, even if they aren’t running, or it may cause a bluescreen.Ģ. Here are three tips that may help you avoid the same issues:ġ.

They support up to 96kHz only, but the 2i4 handled the new lower buffer size of 32 samples just fine.Īs noted in my 2nd gen Scarlett 2i2 review, the 2nd gen drivers are buggier than the 1st gen drivers (at least on my system). I tested the 1st gen 2i4 using the 4.11.0 driver specifically and it was working just as well as with the 2nd gen 2i2, with a few exceptions…ĭon’t try to use the higher sample rates from the ASIO control panel with 1st gen interfaces because that causes bluescreens. To begin, you have to unplug the Scarlett interface from your computer and uninstall the 1st gen driver or it will just revert to using it instead of the 2nd gen driver (the 2nd driver doesn’t overwrite the 1st gen driver they can both be installed at the same time). I’m not sure how or if it will work with the higher up Scarletts that use the Focusrite Control software. This is reported to work on 1st gen 2i4 and 2i2 models. You can download the 2nd gen drivers from Focusrite’s website. In the meantime there’s a workaround if you really want the lower latency option on your 1st gen Scarlett interface.

I’m sure Focusrite doesn’t want people to use them that way but it works nonetheless.įocusrite has said on their Facebook page that they plan to update the drivers for the 1st gen Scarlett interfaces to improve latency, but that was a couple of months ago so who knows when that’s going to happen officially. To me it’s totally surprising that the 1st gen interfaces would work with the 2nd gen drivers. Using the 2nd gen driver, the lowest buffer size setting for 48kHz gives just 5.1 ms of overall latency. With the 1st gen driver, the lowest latency setting for 48kHz is 12.4 ms on my Windows 7 PC. Last month I posted a comparison review between the 1st and 2nd gen Scarlett interfaces, and by far the biggest difference with the 2nd gen is the lower latency.īeing able to take advantage of that improvement on the 1st gen is a major bonus.
Update: The 2nd gen drivers work with the 1st gen 2i2, 2i4, and Solo models, not the higher up Scarletts apparently… The best part is the overall latency is just as low for the 1st gen as the 2nd gen (apparently the numbers aren’t accurate for the 1st gen, however-see comments).
