Product Information

Focusrite Control iOS cannot be used to control a Scarlett connected to your iPad, this app is a remote for the desktop version of the software. Three Month Splice Sounds Subscription: spark inspiration instantly with Splice’s huge Sounds library. This gives it extra head-room, helping it to handle high-output instruments and hot pick-ups, switching from a regular line-in to a more guitar/bass focused channel. Today, the company markets audio interfaces, mic preamps, consoles, analogue EQs, and channel strips as well as hardware and software for digital audio processing. The high-impedance, high-headroom instrument input is great for recording guitar or bass without clipping, while our iconic Gain Halos make it easy to set input levels fast.

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen review | GuitarPlayer

The black front and back is some kind of glass imitation, does not hold well against scratches so I would recommend leaving the protective plastic on it.Two powerful headphone outputs with individual level controls let you monitor, mix and master however you want. For computers with USB Type-C ports, you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable (not supplied) to connect to these devices. If you're starting in the world of home-recording, then you can't go wrong with a Scarlett AI from Focusrite.
