Anyone using FMB with Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface? Can you please share your experiences, especially with regard to latency? The FMB page on “tested audio interfaces” rates 4 other Scarlett models but not that one. Also, I wonder if there is an issue with powering the 8i8 via USB though the FMB. Thanks

Actually, please ignore the question about power; I see that it come with a 12V DC power supply included.

Hi, I have been using one for a few months and it works fine with soundjack.

As far as I know the 4i4 is the “biggest” Focusrite Scarlett interface that can work with USB power only (my 2i4 works that way).
Any larger interface needs more power than USB can deliver, so a power supply is needed (for the 8i6 as well as the 18i8, the 8i8 in the title does not exist, but thiat might be a typing error).
