    Focusrite Scarlett Solo (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools | First

    • This magical thing somehow lets me set the audio buffer as low as 16 samples long, resulting in latencies around 1-2ms, which is absolutely insane
    • Ok, after a little troubleshooting to discover this wonderful little gem will NOT work in a USB 3.0 slot, this thing works great
    • this thing is durable and quality made gives you that amazing vocal quality
    • This thing is amazing
    • I've always heard good things about Scarlett
    • I also went down to my local Guitar Center after I purchased this unit and all the staff had only good things to say about it.
    • Seems like a funny thing to tag along though, its definitely more of a table top item.
    • Interesting thing I learned from Tech Support is that you CANNOT run the 2i4 in this manner (guitar>iRig
    • I can't recommend this thing for desktop computers at all
    • I was told great things about a previous Saffire product, and when there were issues, I was led to believe it was an outdated computer, and the Firewire connection, that were the likely causes of dissatisfaction
    • The 48v phantom over USB somehow works just as good as adding in an external phantom supply thus eliminating the need for another box (even with a laptop)I have not yet tested the instrument or headphone inputs but for the mic input it's excellent quality with minor software enhancements from a room with minimum ambient noise and no room enhancements (just a regular living environment)I have nothing but good things to say at this point and am happy to have not listened to the negative reviews.
    • One thing to note: your computer and DAW software can affect the recording latency, so consider using the drivers referenced on the Solo owners page
    • When this thing works it works great
    • When this thing works it works great
    • I don't know how loud this thing expects to go though, I have it between 25-30% volume.
    • The good thing is that you can just monitor from your computer so don't even bother connecting your headphones to the unit's headphone jack
    • This thing is great, very clean 24-bit audio in and out
    • this thing is amazing
    • This thing is great for listening and the latency is very quick which is great for producing
    • This thing has caused me many issues
    • I love this thing.
    • (Good thing I use an SSD and 32GB of ram, otherwise that would be frustrating while
    • If Focusright would spend $0.08 and simply add an installation disk, that would be a very good thing
    • I love this thing
    • The top two things I
    • The next thing I did was to check my mic through it and after turning the gain about halfway I could hear it loud and clear
    • The drivers are terrible - plugging this thing into any USB port on my machine will either freeze the machine, or disable other USB devices on the same bridge (e.g. keyboard and mouse just stop working)
    • Most cancerous thing ever
    • and it the most important thing for my home studio
    • This thing is amazing.
    • I have nothing but amazing things to say about that unit
    • This thing is well worth the money
    • Again, this thing is not user friendly.
    • I love this little thing
    • and I LOVE this thing
    • unbalanced RCA's this thing would be great
    • One thing to note: your computer and DAW software can affect the recording latency, so consider using the drivers referenced on the 2i2 owners page
    • I love this thing so much I have all of my audio go through it - input and output
    • I love this thing in and of itself, but if it's made unusable by bad drivers, why waste your money
    • I know everybody loves these things
    • If you buy anything by Focusrite be sure to read the negative reviews first because when this thing works it works great, but a year of headache with it is not something anyone should have to put up with, if I had any sense to me I would have returned the device and bought something else the first time it started giving me issues.
    • This thing looks really nice
    • I love this thing in and of itself, but if it's made unusable by bad drivers, why waste your money
    • The thing about the scarlet is it works when it wants to
    • but this thing improved my sound quality tremendously
    • In that regard, the Scarlett has been a widely recognized piece equipment but with the second gen Focusrite has improved an already good thing by reducing latency
    • And they could care less whether you end the call with a broken product and trying to work things with you and a Level 10 tech God they may have locked up in the back room
    • This thing is awesome, and for $100
    • I bought it based off reviews and of course budget reasons too, but I should have searched for videos first just as I did when things started not to work right
    • This thing delivers what it promises for a great price
    • I have recorded with active guitar pickups and passive and this thing does great with both.
    • n’t had a single issue with it and so glad that it is now part of my recording/mixing rig.

    • Totally clean and quiet I/O. Plus, I love the look of the box
