Focusrite on Linux

I’m using my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 2nd generation audio interface under Linux since years, it was and is USB class compliant, so no worries there.

In case you want to know how to set up a newer 3rd generation interface, look at Unfa’s video review of the Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen:

And on LinuxMusicians, Geoffrey Bennett just announced his new control panel gui for these interfaces, see also his github pages.

Cool stuff. I’m using his drivers already, but the gui needs gtk4 and a kernel 5.14 or newer, so this should work on my Arch but not yet on my Debian partition. Doesn’t matter since I can also change the interface settings using qasmixer, even if that isn’t as nice as his one.

Cool stuff! Thanks Geoffrey and Unfa and the kernel team and everyone 🙂 Did I say that free software rocks?
