Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface, The Guitarist, Vocalist, Podcaster Or Producer, Studio Quality Sound, Red

I bought this for one main reason: To get electric guitar in to my PC, and get it recorded into a DAW. If you're looking to do similar, then I can't recommend it highly enough! For that purpose it is perfect. The dedicated ASIO drivers work perfectly with numerous bits of software (Cubase, AmpliTube, BIAS FX2, and other amp sims), meaning I have no noticeable latency whilst playing/recording (which is of course essential). Does all the things my sound card can't! Monitoring is easy via speakers or headphones, and it's powered via USB so no additional power cable is required. Set up was really easy, I read a tip from another review to download all drivers before you plug it in to avoid letting the PC start searching for drivers (as apparently it can cause issues). I followed this advice and had an issue-free installation via the Focusrite 'getting started' page. Thanks, other reviewer! There's a decent bundle of software that comes with it to help get you started with recording: Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools First starter DAWs (I'm using Cubase so didn't try these), Ampify Studio (not really one for me either), a handful of decent VST effects, and a good quality VST piano (a choice of one instrument from Addictive Keys), some drum samples/loops etc. An interesting aspect is the 'Plug-in Collective' which by virtue of purchasing the Scarlett gives you access to a free plug-in every month-or-so from various providers/developers, which is a great benefit. All-in-all I chose this device for its functionality, if you need an audio interface don't hesitate: this one is superb. If you also can make use of the bundled software, then that's a great bonus (I enjoy the VSTs). As mentioned above, I got this for electric guitar, but I got the 2i2 so I have an additional input if I need one, and there's also a mic input which will send power to the mic if required. Build quality feels totally solid with a sturdy metal case. Pic attached so you can see how compact it is. Very happy with this device.

Two initial disclaimers before I go onto my review: Firstly, that I have nothing added additionally to the interface (such as a cloud lifter) other than the XLR cables which connect my Shure SM7B, to my interface and into my computer. Secondly, it should be know that although I do like to consider myself to be relatively 'tech savvy', this won't be the most technical review but more so my experience with the affordable interface and the little bits and bobs that could be beneficial to you having understood. Hardware: As expected, there is a rather niche amount of hardware within this product, especially when you're comparing it to the later editions such as the 4th gen. With this said, it still consists of everything that you need and expect to get started as a beginner using an XLR microphone! -XLR input (corresponding gain dial besides it) -phantom power and air mode on the XLR input -TRS input (corresponding gain dial besides it) -0.25 inch headphone jack (large corresponding gain dial besides it) -direct monitoring button Audio Quality: The headphone output within the Solo delivers a quite significant amount of power and allows for good recording capabilities; offering a flat frequency response and having an ultra-low noise from the mic preamp, along with the 'air mode' allowing for an easier high-frequency boost that could be beneficial to some people. Overall, the product is definitely on the more affordable side and although it does slightly show, the demographic being on the beginner end, the product is wonderfully fitting. The product offers a wide array of different technical features that are greatly beneficial to you as a user and, once used, it becomes really self-explanatory why this is used amongst many independent musicians and YouTube/Twitch live streamers to get the most out of their microphones. I hope this helps!

Hay esfuerzos encomiables en las tarjetas de sonido e interfaces USB, pero en cuanto te pones un poco en serio no hay otro modelo al que acudir: durante tres generaciones las interfaces Scarlett de Focusrite son recomendaciones de referencia para músicos en un estudio casero o hacer un podcast serio. Este modelo 2i2 cuenta, como su nombre indica, con 2 entradas XLR y soporta alimentación Phantom P48 de 48 V. Normalmente los micrófonos de calidad como el Rode Procaster (enlace) funcionan sin averiarse si conectas la alimentación, pero en lo posible mejor quítala si no la vas a usar. La preamplificación de esta interfaz es legendaria, como lo es la confianza que ofrece: es uno de esos productos que, sencillamente, hacen lo que dicen y no dan problemas. Que se conecte con un solo USB y su reducido tamaño la hacen ideal para meter interfaz y cables en una mochila e ir a grabar a cualquier sitio, además de la extrema sencillez de uso del panel de control de Focusrite y el valor añadido del software que obtienes con la compra. Para los que ya conozcan las Scarlett, en esta 3ª generación Focusrite ha ampliado las ya excelentes cualidades técnicas de la interfaz, pero la mayor novedad reside en que ahora se conecta con un puerto USB tipo C, más opciones de configuración de E/S y un "Air Mode" que potencia las pistas de voz emulando la amplificación de un amplificador analógico. Además, las ruedas de ajuste de ganancia se iluminan con un código semáforo: verde cuando la ganancia está bien configurada, ámbar cuando nos estamos pasando y roja si la estamos saturando. Todas estas características más la sencillez de uso la hacen ideal para auténticos principiantes pero con la posibilidad de obtener un resultado profesional con poco tiempo de aprendizaje. Instalar la interfaz es trivialmente sencillo: la conectas por primera vez y ya arranca la instalación, que te guía para registrar el número de serie en la web de Focusrite y obtener el software añadido. Este software permite hacer de todo y tiene la ventaja de que te ayuda a familiarizarte con herramientas que son estándar de la industria incluyendo una versión personalizada de Avid ProTools First. Si ves que estás un poco perdido con tu nueva interfaz, échale un vistazo a los vídeos de la guía rápida, que explican todo muy detalladamente con guías paso a paso que imprimir - eso sí, en inglés. Sin ninguna duda, la 3ª generación de interfaces Scarlett es la mejor que haya producido Focusrite y, a su vez, son posiblemente las mejores interfaces que pueda comprar un usuario doméstico que se ponga en serio. Tal vez si ya tienes una el cambio no merezca la pena salvo para pasar a un modelo con más E/S pero es un producto intachable, con cambios que mejoran la vida al usuario y que no estropean ninguna de las características a las que deben su éxito. Recomendadísimo.

Kayıt teknolojilerinde orta segment sayılan bir model. Benzerleri arasında en sıcak ses kalitesine sahiptir. Yıllardır kullanıyorum. Bunu da arkadaşıma aldım. Çok uzun zamandır sorun olmadan kullanıyoruz.

I’m using this to record mediations using an audiotechnica mic with FL studio, it works well and I’ve had no problems , although sometimes it needs to be restarted but I’m not sure if that’s fl studio glitching or the device

Fidèle à la réputation

Ok
