I'm in a vocal quartet, and we'd like to purchase 4 audio interfaces, preferably all the same, to use with JamKazam. Two of us have Macs and 2 have Windows PCs. We'd like to keep it under $200 each if possible. Any recommendations? We're considering the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, but are looking for any recommendations.
Thanks!

Most easy - for us all - is to use the search function
Search for example - audio interface - list - and similar
or just look around
The scarlett is a good choice but also look into the Motu M2. A couple of my band mates use them and they sound and work great.

it is not easy to say something precise about that Scarlett 2i2
We dont know if it is generation 2 or 3.
Or 1 - if there is such a thing

Yes, of course.
But good to know precisely.
And that we do now
Well - I was sort of hoping it was 2th Gen.
Then I could recommend it.
But I know nothing about 3th Gen
Going forward, I will only recommend Mark of the Unicorn for a cross-platform interface. I have not been thrilled with Focusrite at the lower end of their line (I have 2 Saffire units that work well, but they are Firewire, dead technology).
I have a friend with a MS Surface/Win 10 using a Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen; her latency is 5x higher than mine (she has to use a USB hub)
I recently bought a MOTU Audio Express that is outperforming everything I have ever used before, except for M-Audio Delta 1010 in a custom-built PC (that rig was a lot of work to configure!). The MOTU has only 1ms higher latency, using a USB connection to my MacBook Air
As long as you're not trying to run more than say 6 channels in/out, then USB 2 is fast enough, and almost everything in use today has USB 2 support
