                In general, Scarlett Solo can record only 1 mic and only 1 audio input, so it is only good for one person to record. Scarlett 2i2 will allow you to record 2 mics on separate audio tracks allowing for easy editing. 2i2 also has the headphone volume knob which is extremely convenient.

                The main difference between the Solo and 2i2 is that the 2i2 can handle either two instrument or microphone inputs, while the Solo just has one of each. For a modest price increase, the 2i2 offers a lot more flexibility, which can be helpful even for small recording setups and simple home studios.Apr 28, 2022
