Looks good to me - what sort of price you looking at?

[Hexodus]

For what I'd like to do, I don't think I would mind paying the price. $250 sounds reasonable

I know alot of people have recommended the Saffire6 which records at 44kHz so is that considered the general sample rate or do many of you ever record at 96kHz?

[FSTZ]

yes

[Hexodus]

Yes, you record at 96?

I've had a Scarlett since the first week of June. I love it. I was about to get the saffire 6 when I saw the scarlett was coming out, glad I waited.

Edit:

I guess I should let you know how I use it.....

I have a 2.4ghz core2duo laptop with 4 gigs of RAM. 7200RPM HD

I run ableton suite with
4-5 audio clip tracks. (loops and bounced audio files)
4 midi tracks (3 channels of my Nord Lead 2x and one channel for my Mopho)
VSTs that play parts when triggered (AAS Lounge Lizard / z3Ta)
VSTs that I play live (MiniMogue VA, A rack of a few instances of Operator, A rack of a few instances of Zebra)
One Audio in Track (For a keyboard I run into the front input and will loop inside ableton)

I think I have about 6.0 ms buffer size and no problem running all of this on my machine.

I experienced a little bit of weirdness using the MIDI ports, but it makes more sense to use my oxygen's midi outs since I also use that to control the Mopho...
