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

Bought this about ten years ago and it's still going strong. I use it with Linux (Fender Studio and Guitarix) and haven't run into any issues. The volume control is tactile and satisfying.

So I bought this and I'm pairing it with my Audio Technica AT2020. It provides the 48v phantom power needed to run the microphone and works very well. I plug in audio from my gaming PC using a 3.5mm(sound card side) to 1/4' (Scarlett side) cable and it works great. Then I plug the unit into my streaming laptop via USB and plug in my Sennheiser HD579 headset with 1/4 connection to the monitor output on the Solo. It's a great setup and the mic sounds great using this "preamp". Before I had a Pyle Mixer and it sucked compared to this. All I wanted was a way to have my game audio and mic audio piped into one unit, and then be able to control the volume of my headset without having to minimize my game. This provided just that. I highly recommend this if you stream on Twitch or Youtube. Also, I dabble in music creation with Reason 10 and this gets recognized by the software and my mic sounds great when recording vocal tracks for music. 5 stars all the way!! Update 1/5/2020: This Audio Interface is still going strong and working very well for me. I mainly use it to get audio from my Pioneer DDJ-SX2 DJ controller into my computer to stream on Twitch or Cue.dj and it gets that job done flawlessly. I can connect turntables to my SX2 and record vinyl to MP3 using Audacity or Reason 11 Intro and it works perfectly fine and sounds great. Still recommend this Audio Interface.

We purchased this for church to get audio in from our Dayton reference mic. Dayton Audio EMM-6 Electret Measurement Microphone and it does the job just fine. I chose the Focusrite because I have the 2i2 Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools | First at home as my main computer sound card and love it. This unit would be great for podcasters, solo recording, or as I do, just as a high quality audio interface for general use. I also love the fact that it doesn't require an additional power supply so it's easy to pack up and take places. The only problem I've found (and this is actually with my 2i2) is that as my computer goes to sleep and wakes up, about once every two weeks the unit will lock up. I simply pull the USB, plug it back in and we're off and running again.

This thing is great, very clean 24-bit audio in and out. Flawless plug-and-play setup, easy, nice form factor, etc. HOWEVER. I bought it in summer and later in winter realized this: if you live somewhere cold and dry with lots of static electricity in the air in winter, every time you touch it, it's going to disconnect your audio and need re-connecting. Meaning you're going to have to feakin' unplug the USB from the back of the unit, reconnect it, and wait a couple seconds until it recognizes it again. And with some programs, this will require re-starting the program. The reason for this is that it's metal and the volume knob is metal. (And possibly there might be a design issue with the schematic.) This problem occurs in a well-designed studio with properly grounded equipment set up correctly. And it's the only piece of gear doing this. Even other metal gear doesn't do this....Which makes me wonder if this unit is designed with a grounding issue? That's not as uncommon as you'd think. Sure, the red brushed aluminum looks AWESOME, but usability is much more important that looks to anyone serious about music. THERE IS AN EASY FIX, HOWEVER....I covered the whole thing with one layer of clear plastic packing tape and now it doesn't disconnect the audio connection when I touch it. I also put that same tape on the volume knob, until I could get a plastic knob to replace the metal knob with. SUGGESTION FOR SCARLETT: Admit this is a problem. Then fffer the unit in plastic (would probably shave a couple bucks off the price too.) If you must keep it "looking sexy", offer it in plastic, but also offer it in WOOD for a few dollars more. Also have an outside electrical engineer look at the schematics, and do some bench testing to see if there's a ground issue in the actual design. If there is, it's also probably a lawsuit waiting to happen when someone gets electrocuted using this in a house or studio with poor grounding. All in all a good unit, but is going to frustrate the heck out of anyone living anywhere cold who doesn't think to cover it with tape.

Idk it works and it's cheap. If there's something better let me know. But tbh with a midi keyboard a mic and a arturia microphone freak this is pretty much all I need. Im not an audio expert but. It works and I've NEVER had an issue with it not once ever. Its also red. Thank you.

This product works really nicely. I am a newb in the recording world so even though there aren't a lot of inputs or outputs on this unit (just guitar and microphone) that helps me because I am learning. I could see a person in a quick fashion outgrowing this unit and needing a larger audio interface that can do more but for now it works well. The software that comes with it, works easily enough, takes some tweaking to work with my 4k monitor resolution and Windows 10 but it DOES work! It again just takes some patience to set it all up. I use this with some 4 inch studio monitors that I purchased and the sound is incredible! I use them for all sound not just for recording. YouTube clips, games, movies all sound amazing through this interface. I love its blissful simplicity. For intermediate or advance recording individuals I would probably not recommend this unless you wanted something small you could take with you on the go? Seems like a funny thing to tag along though, its definitely more of a table top item. But for us beginners its a great way to get your feet wet with some simple recording. I play Guitar and Sing for fun and it has proven effective and simple.

I have been playing guitar for over 50 years. I started doing home recording back when the only thing you could use was a 4 track. I was one of the first purchasers of Fostex's 4 track cassette decks. I work with Logic Pro X now on my MacBook Pro. I have been using an M-Audio Fast track for years, and figured an interface is an interface. When using the M-Audio, I had to run the mic and bass, etc, through a Tube pre-amp. I purchased this on a whim, thinking that it would be nice not to have to use the Tube. To be frank, I am pleased and amazed. No latency issues at all. Crystal clear sound. Plug and play, no hassles and an unbeatable price. The unit is very sturdy, and looks good as others have noted, but who cares about that, the sound and ease of use for Mac is all I care about. I don't need multiple inputs, since I do one track at a time, and like it that way. If you are like me, and use Logic, this is a great buy. I express no opinion about using this with a PC, since you have to download drivers and stuff like that. Avoiding all of that is why I have a Mac.

Good build and overall great performance

Venía de una mesa de mezclas y lo primero que he notado al usar esta interfaz de audio es la calidad y la limpieza del sonido tanto al grabar con el micrófono como al escuchar con los auriculares. Evidentemente este tipo de producto hay que usarlo con accesorios de cierta calidad si estás realizando algún tipo de trabajo de audio. Se alimenta mediante conexión USB, (cable incluido). Las clavijas son, excepto la del micrófono (XLR), jack de 6mm, por lo que hay que cerciorarse de que disponemos de accesorios que usen este tipo de conexión o al menos de adaptadores. Tiene salida por USB y RCA para canales L/R si quieres trasmitir en analógico. Los controles son sencillos e intuitivos, y la monitorización directa hay que tenerla muy en cuenta. Admite un micrófono XLR dinámico o de condensador, además de una segunda fuente de audio (línea o instrumento), y cuenta con una función muy importante: desconectar la alimentación Phantom. Normalmente, en una mesa como la Xenyx 302USB obtenemos ruido blanco al grabar con un micro dinámico por no poder desconectar la alimentación necesaria para los micros de condensador. Aquí se puede hacer con sólo pulsar un botón, y asunto resuelto. Viene acompañada de diversas licencias para programas de edición, muy conveniente si aún no tienes una opción definida.

MOTIVO DELL'ACQUISTO: Stavo cercando un dispositivo che fosse piccolo, portatile e sufficentemente potente da essere scheda audio/pre-amplificatore/alimentatore (48V Phantom) al mio microfono Rode NT-1A. Durante la ricerca, mi sono imbattuto in innumerevoli recensioni positive sullo Scarlett Solo. Posso dire di essere completamente soddisfatto del mio acquisto. PREGI: - Due input: un input XLR adatto per collegare microfoni e un altro input jack 6.3mm per utilizzare lo Scarlett come amplificatore per chitarra acustica. Gli output invece sono due: l'uscita USB tipo B e una uscita RCA audio stereo. - La funzione Direct Monitor che, se attiva, trasmette il segnale registrato anche alle cuffie collegate tramite jack 3.5mm allo Scarlett. -Include gratuitamente una serie di programmi che rendono lo Scarlett Solo, un dispositivo completo: Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools First e altri programmi (tra cui una serie di programmi della Addictive Keys). - L'alimentazione è attraverso USB 2.0 di tipo B. - Le dimensioni minimali: 14cm di larghezza, 4cm di altezza e 10cm di profondità. DIFETTI: -Per scaricare suddetti programmi, ci vorrà un po' di tempo, visto che bisogna registrarsi ad ogni sito del produttore. Avrei preferito, un pacchetto completo ".rar" con tutti i file pronti per essere installati. Altri difetti non ce ne sono per adesso. Personalmente, lo ritengo un prodotto validissimo per quanto costa. Per chi è all'inizio è un prodotto perfetto. Compatto, completo e conveniente.

Toute la série des scarlett est bonne, je pense. Son look est vraiment beau avec son rouge vif. J'ai choisi cette Scarlett Solo pour son petit format. Juste deux entrées : XLR et ligne. Les sorties sont du RCA. Je l'utilise pour la guitare et le clavier avec des VSTI. L'entrée s'allume verte quand il y a un signal et passe en orange/rouge lorsque celui-ci est trop fort. Pas de latence, la qualité du son est vraiment bonne. J'ai été bluffé par le rapport qualité/prix. N'hésitez pas à cliquer sur utile si vous avez trouvé mon commentaire utile.

Excellent product. Delivered in time. Very good performance. Using it for recording guitar with DAW. Crystal clear recording quality with 44.1 Hz sampling. Few pick up drops and glitches with Ableton live but that could be attributed to the CPU performance. Smoother performance with a little higher buffer size. almost Nil latency with even 512 buffer size which is pretty amazing I guess. Comes with bundled software package which is absolutely amazing for a beginner. Yet to check for vocals but I'm sure it'll not disappoint a bit. Worth every penny spent.
