There is some backwards compatibility between older models and newer software, but it’s a bit limited and only works to an extent.
#Focusrite scarlett 2i2 gen 2 drivers
The Interface drivers have also been improved, leading to lower and lower latency with each new generation, especially between 1st gen and 2nd gen. Sample rate’s have also been increased over the generations, with the 1st gen Scarlett Solo at 92 kHz, which gets bumped up to 192 kHz with the 2nd gen and 3rd gen interfaces. With 3rd gen Pre-amps and converters being unmistakably higher quality and better sounding, than 1st gen and 2nd gen pre-amps, if sound quality is your main concern, go for the 3rd gen. The pre-amps that Focusrite are so well-known for, have improved alongside their line of interfaces. With each new generation of the Focusrite Scarlett range of interfaces, they get better and better hardware both on the outside and under-the-hood.
