Unless you are running some really bizarre hardware, I don't really see how you'll have to worry about any of that with a modern pipewire stack

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 gen2 2i2, and a Solo. Both work flawlessly out of the box

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.

For Windows, my recommendation is that you remove the default Focusrite driver all together, and install FlexASIO. Their proprietary ASIO has been nothing but problems.

Reaper does work great too. Since you’ve brought up Fedora, most of what you need is already there. I would recommend you also install QJackCtl, and the pipewire-jack bridge. Much easier to control your inputs through the graph, especially if you have many mics or instruments

I appreciate the recommendation! I’ll check out FlexASIO and QJackCtl.

I thought so too, but it skips in wine for me so I went back to pulse. Surprisingly, never issues in pulse anymore
