Incl. USB cable (type C to A) and Hitmaker Expansion Software Bundle (Ableton Live Lite, 3 months Splice Sounds membership and plug-in bundle for songwriting, mixing and mastering, Pro Tools Artist (three-month subscription) and Avid Complete Plugin Bundle). UK manufacturer Focusrite has made world-class mic preamps for decades. The 3 rd Generation’s mic pre is the best to ever feature in the Scarlett range. Expect a warm, dynamic response that’ll take care of any instrument with ease. If you don't already have music-making software installed, follow the link below for info on how to choose and install your software: The original studio-quality 2-in, 2-out interface, has been remastered for the artist. Two of our most detailed ultra-low-noise mic pres. Hi-Z and super-high-quality line inputs for guitars, keys and synths. Studio-grade converters, with a huge 120dB dynamic range that matches what you'd find in a pro studio. Neutrik combo inputs. For those who don't know what these are, they're combined inputs. They accept both XLR and 6.35 mm Line inputs. So this means you can record multiple combinations of instruments. Vocals and acoustic guitar. Or bass and guitar. Or a stereo Keyboard.

Both interfaces are near-identical in the manner in which they are constructed. The aluminum casing gives you an instant sense of reliability. The buttons and ports are meticulously assembled. All cables feel secure when connected, and overall the interfaces feel really good to handle. Added the ability to change the colour of the good, pre clipping and clipping stages of the Gain Halos on Scarlett 3rd Generation interfaces.Two inputs and two outputs; one 3rd Generation mic pre, one switchable line/inst input and balanced outputs.

As well as the new Scarlett features, you’ll also get a selection of excellent software, so you can get creative right out the box: Direct monitoring allows you to listen to the input signal of the interface with near-zero latency.Focusrite’s best-selling Scarlett range has enabled millions of musicians worldwide to record their creativity for almost a decade. World-class sound, compact intuitive design, crystal-clear conversion. In layman’s terms, this is the delay between the signal being sent into the interface and the moment you actually hear it over your headphones or speakers. The delay occurs because when you sing or play guitar into your interface, the audio is being processed in the digital realm before it reaches your ears. So the processing power of both your computer and the interface plays a big role in this. Added the ability to choose whether 48V is retained after restarting Scarlett 3rd Generation interfaces.

Create studio-quality vocals, powerful guitars, dramatic synths, and huge drums, then mix and master with iconic Focusrite studio hardware — all in the box. Every new Focusrite Scarlett, Clarett+, and Red interface comes with an unbeatable range of tried-and-tested studio tools from some of the biggest names in the business. It takes the input signal on the interface and sends it straight to the headphones and line outputs on the device. The signal is still sent to your DAW software, allowing the input to be recorded at the same time.One of the key upgrades for the 3 rd Generation is the addition of USB-C connectivity. This reversible connection allows faster data transfer, easier connection and can be flipped – no more plugging in upside-down. And thanks to the USB-C’s inherent low latency, you can easily record and monitor everything in real time with many of your favourite plug-ins in place. The 3 rd Gen’s inputs offer impressive headroom, making recording line-level instruments cleaner and easier than ever before. Balanced TRS outputs also eliminate speaker hum, while Focusrite’s iconic gain halos light up to indicate input levels, making it easy to get distortion-free recordings. Included Software It’s tiny details like these that go a long way in enhancing the music-making process. Anyone who's had to deal with flimsy knobs and loose cables will relate! So kudos to Focusrite for having been thoughtful enough to consider them. If you’re looking for a second or third interface just to add to an arsenal of studio gear, the Solo gives you almost unbeatable portability.

This means that even though latency is actually measured, it is so minuscule that the human ear doesn’t detect it.It adds massively to portability and convenience. All you need is your laptop and one of these, and you're good to go! Cons: Fixed an issue that could cause glitching on systems with some older AMD processors (Phenom-II, FX and Athlon series).
