I haven't even gotten to downloading the software yet, I think I finally was able to register my product though. I think I messed up a "one time" password change to access the software page so I'm going to have to wait on that getting fixed so I can try again.
I could open Audacity when plugged into the back of my computer and that had a simple, "just go" feel to it but I can tell the quality of sound using the Focusrite interface is much better. What model do you have? I just need to get to the point where I have the software loaded, then I can take my time with learning the software. I'm not in a big hurry, I need new frets on my Gibson anyway, they are fried. To do a good job, which I want to do, I should go ahead and get new frets. Somebody flattened them before I bought it back in the 80s, for speed I suppose, but there wasn't much left to wear down.
I use one of the larger Focusrite's weekly. As PureQuill says it is so much more than just an adapter and also does a great job if you want to transfer vinyl to your computer to make digital copies / backups. This is a quality piece of gear and once you get a handle on what it can do and how to best use it and your software you'll be very pleased. That said, I can understand the desire for simplicity and "one-button" recording.
