The verdict

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio contains just about everything you need to start recording at home. While the 2i2 (4th Gen) audio interface will provide high-quality results well into your recording career, you will likely want to upgrade from the included microphone and headphones if you become more serious about your production quality.
