    I replaced a flaky Focusrite Scarlett 3 with this Elgato audio device. The elgato software is significantly more stable, the hardware has fewer issues with audio cut-outs under load and is generally more reliable.

    Very good if you are trying to use an XLR mic and want some cool features. Also has a nice 3.5mm port on the back.

    Not quite what I was looking for if you are on budget and don't mind not having actual physical buttons this is for u. Everything is pretty much setup via software (ELGATO)

    Absolutely wonderful for the price you cannot beat it. It’s practically a goxlr for less than half the price and it’s integration in the Elgato ecosystem is wonderful

    Pros - Device makes everything simplified through software only. -Great routing through easy User Interface Cons - Software will crash randomly and all of your audio will stop - Bad Support, the company doesn't have solutions for the many bugs of the device and software. - You cannot get a best buy warranty for this device and it really needs it Overall while it does what it advertises, it does not do it consistently. There will be issues at random times. If you are using this for recording, content, or even basic calls. Then this will be a major inconvenience.
