Decades of experience really do speak for quality in this case, and the AD/DA converters provide optimum clarity and detail with a maximum bit depth of 24 bits and frequency rates of up to 192kHz.

Thanks again While most interfaces have defaults for some of their outputs, like 1 and 2 are often the main outs, what actually goes to each output is selectable in the interface software.

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. i would go to uninstall the program, windows would take me to “programs and features” and it wouldn’t even be listed. With super low latency and class-leading drivers, you will have no problems capturing audio in the moment that is well-polished and true to the original source. Having the pads and midi inputs are a bonus on the 2i4 and the input/output blend control is an improvement on the old switch.

Additionally, an EQ and compressor are offered with the Focusrite Red Plug-in Suite, a full channel strip offering an EQ, de-esser, compressor, limiter, gate, and expander with Bx_console Focusrite SC, and finally, two months with the Landr Studio mastering tools with five free masters to add the finishing touch to your projects. I use it for voice over work and mastering and its given very high quality recordings that I have used professionally.

What's special is that an optional Air mode can be added to reproduce the Air effect of the original ISA mic preamp, if required. As in previous generations, every Scarlett product comes with a software package to get you started right away.

As a side note I have tested a Focusrite 18i20 2nd gen and it works well with USB input but I always got crackling when I tried to use the SPDIF input with CamillaDSP regardless of clock source. To make things simpler still, Focusrite has included a “Quick Start Tool” and put together an impressive and comprehensive package of free software, some in the box and some available for download, which includes Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Artist, Focusrite Red Plugin Suite, Focusrite Control, Softube Time and Tone Bundle, a three-month subscription to Splice Sounds, and a software tool of four XLN Audio Addictive Keys of your choice.I'm guessing this review is way off base and the reviewer didn't understand how to use the interface software.

I can clearly see that the Focusrite is getting signal when I play my Summit, the green lights flash up.I personally have all monitoring (speaker monitors and a headphone amplifier) coming through a PreSonus Monitor Station that is being fed via SPDIF. Also, the industry-leading 24-bit/192 kHz AD-DA converters take performance to a new level, guaranteeing clearer sound with more punch across all frequencies. It almost feels like although I set the clock source to SPDIF when setting up the interface on another computer that is not respected once I move the Linux and it defaults to the internal clock source. Following on from Focusrite Clarett’s autumn 2020 offer, Hitmaker Expansion is back and bigger than ever. A splendid device with a low noise floor, decent 48V phantom power for XLR microphones, competent instrument pre amps, zero latency (or as good as) midi.
