Don't you want to adjust gain, change routing etc? I do that often.
There is a problem with my Scarlett where
sometimes I get horrible
crackling noise. Restarting JACK fixes this. Could this be your issue
as well?
No, I had this with the Presonus, but choosing another USB slot fixed
the issue.
Missing alsamixer controls aren't a problem for me. On Sun, 8 Jan 2017 18:45:45 +0100, Robin Gareus

I agree the inputs aren't great. They are pretty noisy. Probably a
company-internal award - have 3 people design a preamp and "award"
the one with the best price-performance ration, or something like
that. ;) Pure marketing. I didn't have quite as bad an impression as you
describe though.
The Scarlett series however is pretty much crap.
Just terminate the input with 200 Ohm, start jnoisemeter and start
wondering which award those "award winning preamps" won.
I read an old thread about this. Fons replied ironical "a marketing
award" or something like this. The outputs have less gain, but aren't
noisy. I didn't test the inputs. This btw. would be the only thing close to a
measurement I could do:
In regards to subjective audio quality I could record a WAV from the
analog outputs to the analog inputs of the Focusrite and for comparison
do the same with the RME card and the ADA8000. Then it would be possible
to listen to the original WAV and the recorded WAVs or to take a look
at a spectral analysis.
So you would mix the input & output results together... But it would be
possible to upload the files somewhere. I would be interested to see
this, as I don't have another interface comparable to the Focusrite.
