Has anyone tried this? I don't want to be a guinea pig.

Jon, can you let me/us know the outcome? I use a 2i2 for some stuff. If the difference is negligible/negative, I'll stick with what I have. Thanks!

In addition to Attenuation's endorsement, I had also peviously written Focusrite support. They replied yesterday saying, "yes, it will work fine."

Sorry. I'm already married.

I stopped using the 2i2 some time ago because the driver would occasionally blue screen my machine (win 7 at the time).

But now I wish to set it up on another computer running Win 10. If nothing else, this 2nd generation driver is a few years newer, and one would hope, more "compatible."

It will be a week, or so, before I have a chance to set it up.

I've installed yesterday and use it now for few hours on Reason 9.5.1d19
If I load old RNS Songfile...and got pops & cracks. G Data Today's Message

Datei: C:\Program Files\FocusriteUSB\ASIO Control Panel.exe
Virus: Gen:Variant.Razy.211752 (Engine A)
Engines: Engine A: AVA 25.13561, Engine B: GD 25.10085

Oh La La! - It's a little bit like Franglais.

A virus detected in the driver????

There is a thread on Gearsluts also on the matter!

I haven't noticed warning during install the drivers. It says "Access is denied" when re-open the Control panel button in Reason/ Preferences/Audio
- this doesn't seem like it should happen, then again I'm not sure. A runtimebroker.exe windows 10 error?

Thanks Jon, might give it a whirl; luckily I have backup - and I can always roll it back if there's a problem. Thanks again.
