Overall: After struggling with two other similarly priced USB audio adapters, I decided to give the Scarlett 18i6 a try since zZounds has such a great return policy. The installation was extremely easy and with large number of inputs available to me, I was able to get rid of the mixer sitting on of my desk to free up some valuable real estate. The drivers work flawlessly on my Windows 64-bit Pro i7 PC. I have not experienced any of the clicking, popping, or latency while using this device that I experienced with the other interfaces. Unfortunately, this interface does not have the internal routing feature that its little brother, the Scarlett 8i6, has but I think the included Mix Control software is fantastic and very easy to use. On the hardware front, the device feels solid and I get the impression that it'll last me a pretty long time. The LEDs are easy to read but the knobs are a little smallish for my giant hands but they aren't any different from other interfaces I have used. In terms of manufacturer support, prior to the purchase I called Focusrite to inquire about the internal routing feature. I was on the phone with support in less than 5 minutes and the rep gave me a solid, no BS answer to my question. In terms of post sales support, I have not had to call them. However, I did have to call their support group for my Novation synth recently and was given a solid solution to my problem in a relatively short timeframe. Based on that experience I feel confident that tech support has my back on this device should I ever need it. In all, I am very happy with my purchase. Should anything happen to it, I would happily go out and purchase another.

Sound: Very happy with the sound. Feature: Love the adat port. Performs flawlessly for me. Wish there was more TRS outputs so I could have more headphone mixes. I get three using the monitor outs and headphone out. Ease of Use: Had no problem connecting my 01v96vcm to the interface and the interface to my laptop/cubase 5. Was able to record upto 12 tracks at 44/16 with cubase without a single problem for the past month. Looking forward to maxing it out and seeing how it does. Have yet to do that. Quality: Not bad! Value: Its a great value in my eyes. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed it Overall: Expect to get a year or so out of it before I pop down some cash for a RME unit with more adats.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
