I haven’t had the chance to run an external audio interface through Linux so not sure how smooth the transitions work with multiple recording sources. According to Focusrite, Linux is supported so hopefully it won’t be too rough.
I have the 2i2 and this is what I was hoping to hear. I’ve always had it hooked up to Windows and it drops off daily to where I need to reset the sample rate to get it working again. Apparently it happens on Windows relatively often so looking forward to that not happening on Linux. I also hear that Reaper works in Linux so those are the last of my concerns.
I appreciate the recommendation! I’ll check out FlexASIO and QJackCtl.
Focusrite is so well supported in the Linux kernel the arm builds work out of box.
LOL after typing my last comment I checked the Reaper site and they have arm builds. I may just try it out on the rpi for the fun of it.
I use my 2i4 with an OrangePi 5 as a htpc
That is amazing. I would try it on my spare rpi4 but I doubt Reaper has an arm build.

Linux usually agreed pretty well with my Oppo HA2-SE. I'm guessing you're an audiophile. I think you'll have an ok time.
I thought so too, but it skips in wine for me so I went back to pulse. Surprisingly, never issues in pulse anymore
