Would you recommend a 4th Gen 2i2 over a Vocaster Two?
Hi Eric! Looks like they’re very similar overall, but it seems like the Vocaster Two is primarily made for podcasting/streaming and the 2i2 gen 4 is made for anything (music, instruments, podcasting, streaming).
A few significant differences I spotted:
— 2i2 has Air mode, Vocaster Two has “Enhance” (4 different voice presets)
— 2i2 has 1 headphone output, Vocaster Two has 2
— 2i2 is 24 bit/192 kHz, and Vocaster Two is 24 bit/48kHz
Hope this helps!
