My 2i4 is plug and play with Debian, has lovely low-noise pre-amps, and works well with Audacity (you have to start Audacity after connecting the Scarlett 2i4 for Audacity to recognise it). I have only used Rosegarden with the MIDI interface so far, but it works perfectly. It is even recognised by SpecLab running under Wine (when I have used it with an HF radio receiver). It is top quality hardware IMHO. -- Hilary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
