Never heard of Scarlett before

Never heard of Scarlett before. Being a sound hound did not expose me to artisanal audio. ChatGPT clued me in. Now I have my podcasting needs covered with the 2i2. Who needs mass media advertising?

Look, it's Time You Put USB-B inputs on your Audio Interfacess

Look, I love these Focusrite Scarlet Solo 3rd and 4th Gen Audio Interfaces. I have 6 sitting in a drawer, and this lovely new one. I am famous as an old school Goth of 45 years, being the bassist in Sex Gang Children. 40 albums and singles we have released. Please, put better inputs, those C-cables destroy them in 6 months. I need the more durable USB-B inputs I have seen on the very expensive Focusrite's. As a company you make a great product, and we get the best near zero latency interfaces, as customers we are all happy as drunks in an English pub. You have engineers, you can do this, we have complete faith in your capabilities. BUT, those C-cable inputs have to go. Or put both. They can be used with my keyboard controller and they are way more durable. And you are quick sending them out, WITH A HAND WRITTEN THANK YOU NOTE FROM YOUR PACKING STAFF. If you put a USB-B input on your Solo's 5th Generation I will write Thank You Note's To All Your Engineers. Thank you.

Very frustrating

The item shipped without a USB C connector but support says I need one to make the unit reliable. But even with one the thing doesn't talk to my computer properly. I get input but no sound. Just two weeks of frustration and still not working.

Refurbished product wasn’t apparently…

Refurbished product wasn’t apparently tested thoroughly enough before being resold, and was faulty. Bonus, you made me print out a label for mailing back the product instead of actually physically sending one. The 50 cents I spent to print at the library is peanuts in the grand scheme of things, but on principle it feels like you’re nickel-and-diming a paying customer to get recompensed for your faulty product.
