One nice side benefit is that this package does include some great software tools:*Pro Tools*First Focusrite Creative Pack*Ableton Live Lite*Focusrite Control*Softube Time and Tone Bundle*Focusrite’s Red Plug-in Suite*2GB of Loopmasters samplesBetween the quality of the interface and the accompanying downloads, this is a spectacular audio interface at an amazing price
The Scarlett 2i4 did all of those with great quality and an affordable price.
The price was very reasonable, and the quality is top of the line
Great price, and an amazing audio interface for starting out recording
And the price is incredibly affordable for what you get.
All of the knobs and buttons feel well built and the labels are big enough to read from 1 foot away
The unit itself is very well built and has some heft to it
It seems well built but after over 20 hours struggling with the software I gave up and sent it back
Overall though, this has a really nice heavy and well built feel to it
The hardware gain and headphone volume knobs don't generate a lot of volume (weak built-in headphone amp), but you can adjust the instrument volume and accompanying track volume in your DAW software to bring the volume up more effectively.
I spent a few days testing other devices without ever experiencing the crackling and popping I experienced with the Focusrite, and sadly concluded I had received a defective unit
This unit would be great for podcasters, solo recording, or as I do, just as a high quality audio interface for general use
A friend of mine who knows everything about guitars and audio equipment recommended this unit to me
This is a good little unit and everything i ever wanted to speak audio online
Sure... you can buy more expensive units that have more bells & whistles.
Sound through it is very clean, and there is no hum or hiss to be heard
These were my criteria while searching:- at least 2 inputs for stereo recording- low-latency- as low of a noise floor as possible (I hate additional "hum" that can get introduced in a lot of cheaper all-in-
The odd humming hasn't gone away since I purchased it
I have been using an M-Audio Fast track for years, and figured an interface is an interface
The case does still show scratches very easily, though.
the headphone amp on the unit I received simply does not work properly.
Drivers do not work when trying to install, the focusrite does not show up in the recording or playback selections, and overall is a pain in the ass to install.
Small, smooth knobs for I/O volumes, crisp and clear sound, good choice.
when the input and output is the interface, and also robotic sounds randomly, forcing me to unplug it and plug it back in and the redownloading of drivers, it is very inconsistent... when it does work my vioce overs are crisp and clear, but the troubleshooting is so constant that i feel like i should have gotten something else
I contacted their tech support team which told me it was a "known issue" and that I needed to download a different driver, but then repeatedly told me to download the exact same version that I had tried initially
Small, smooth knobs for I/O volumes, crisp and clear sound, good choice.
It is also apparently a known issue and a hold over from gen 1 that was not solved
You go to website, you download their driver there, no good, come back to find out it's a known issue, you're told to jump though a bunch of hoops
This product has a known issue to not work well with the at2035
but I'd occasionally run into latency issues with them.
It's a good interface, and I haven't had any latency issues thus far
Perfect for simple people like my self as well as for professionals too
n’t had a single issue with it and so glad that it is now part of my recording/mixing rig.
Where I work, the 2 year older and more expensive Focusrite boxes have latency issues with the $$ version of Protool on 2 year old iMacs with 16gigs ram
