Scarlett 2nd/3rd Gen Conflict Question |

Hello folks,
I'm running a 2nd gen Scarlett 18i8 at home. I want to take my laptop away with me but don't want to take the 18i8. If I buy a 3rd gen Scarlett Solo will there be any driver or other software conflicts? Will each one just work when I plug it it?

Thanks Mertay,
A few years ago I would have been able to install a second WIN10 but now I'm not so sure. Maybe buying a used 2nd Gen solo would be better?

sorry for the lag the new driver works on both second and third gen.

Thanks buddy,
I'll order one, I was thinking that if there's a conflict I'd just use the Solo at home and away and keep the 18i8 for the times I need more than one input at once, as I'm using TH-U that will be very rare. UPDATE: I've installed the latest driver, had ten minutes on my Ibby to test, working fine and I reckon one more week and I will be 95% plus repaired on the neurological front, let's hope there's room for a guitar in the car Cheers sorry for the lag the new driver works on both second and third gen.

It worked straight out of the box, incredible little unit, I didn't realise it is USB powered too, awesome.
