I’m using it in GarageBand on Mac, with all the correct cables and the Røde NT1-A mic it came with.
It either only sends a very weak signal, even when you sing super close to the mic. Or when you turn up the input volume on the Vocaster, the recording immediately distorts (and is still very weak).
When you do try to record a track it frequently cuts out after a few bars. So you get five to ten seconds with sound and then just silence.

Good for one thing, and one thing only
Akerbos 04.09.2024
I'll compare the unit to the Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen that I've been using for years and was interested to replace with the Vocaster One, especially given its currently discounted price point (<50€). My main use cases is video conferencing, which seems to be closer to the advertised focus of the Vocaster line than the Scarlett line.
Build quality and basic functionality are great. It's a solid device. I basically got it working by plug & play alone, even on Linux. The physical buttons are well designed. I also liked having the XLR input on the back of the device, which allows me to hide one more cable on the desk. I've missed a mute on the Scarlett 2i2, so that one's nice to have.
For firmware updates and software-only settings, I need to connect to a Windows PC or Mac. That's disappointing, but as advertised.
The size of the device is puzzlingly large for the controls it has, but then again it handles well; all user-facing controls are big and clearly separate from each other. I can see operating it while recording yourself, more so than with the Scarlett.
My colleagues reported lower gain than they've become used to from my setup, and lower quality after I increased gain further. I did not spend much time optimizing the setup for reasons to follow, so take that with a grain of salt.
On the other hand, much to my annoyance, some features can not be controlled without their companion software (e.g. switching enhance modes, or muting individual inputs), 3rd-party software (e.g. _not_ mixing computer sound into the microphone audio), or not at all (turning off direct monitor; different gain for headphones and speakers).
Unfortunately, these limitations are deal-breakers for my use case.
Compared to the 2i2 that I have (which has a similar MSRP and _smaller_ physical size), the Vocaster One seems to provide little flexibility. If you do not want to use it solely for its poster use-case -- recording yourself for podcasts or videos -- you should probably stay away. For video conferencing, at least, the device is not suitable, at all.

Works well... mostly
HolyDeathFridge 09.08.2024
Works really well as just an audio interface. I really appreciate having a mute button on it but I wish that the software would work.
From what I've found the interface needs USB 3.1 or higher for the software to work. Others have said that you need to have version 1.3 or lower (which can be hard to get since Focusrite doesn't have any older versions listed).
The headphone output does also have monitoring on by default and it can only be turned off in the software, which doesn't work for me.

Suffers from noise of power supply
Superkartoffel 05.10.2024
I like the simplicity of this device. it does what it says. I also like that it is USB-powered, which means that you do not need a separate power supply. Unfortunately it is poorly isolated from any noise on the USB socket. It is barely acceptable when connected to a Macbook and unusable when connected to my desktop PC or the KVM of my monitor. I had to get a USB hub with a low-noise power-supply.
