Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB-C Audio Interface

Easy to set up, comprehensive list instructions online, including loads of videos. The sound quality is good. Keeps the tone with no unwanted distortion or clipping. Well worth £109. Only gripe is the connecting cable supplied isn’t only USBC on one end so you’ll need an adapter for your MacBook. If you go to my website at simoneyre.uk then go to Bonus Content and play song 9 (Renegade) or 10 (Hold my Beer) which were recorded using this kit. Would buy again.

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen has been great to use for both recording and music production. It's truly plug and play-setup was quick and painless, and it worked immediately with my system without any issues. Audio quality is solid, with clean input and low noise, making it easy to get good recordings without a lot of extra tweaking. Another nice bonus is the bundle of free plugins and music tools that come with the interface, which adds real value, especially if you're just getting started. It's compact, portable, and well-built, making it easy to take on the go. For the price, it's definitely worth it if you need a reliable, decent-quality audio interface without spending a lot.

My first ever audio interface. I've started to dabble with music and was using a RCA 3.5 mm straight out of my Mac into my Audioengine speakers. I have a piano, a guitar and a microphone and wanted to start to take sound more seriously and get these instruments and mic connected to my computer in a "proper" way. So an audio interface is needed. I bought the Scarlett Solo 4th gen. I do not think at my stage I need any more inputs. I was initially looking at much more expensive audio interfaces such as the Antelope models that are upwards of £700. But so many people recommend the Scarlet for beginners for the superb build and sound quality. I picked this up in Dec 2023 when it was on offer for £81. It is absolutely superb and easy to use. The sound quality now that I connect my amplifier directly to the Scarlett is amazing. I can also play my guitar and piano through this either through the speakers or via my headphones to save annoying everyone in the house! I really do not know what spending much more money would deliver. Maybe more features but for someone with modest needs like me the Scarlett is more than capable. Build quality is very good and it is a very attractive in a red metal and is built to last. It is small and discrete. Some of these audio interfaces are big and bulky, but not the Scarlett. Simplicity itself to connect it up on my Mac. Just go to Settings>Sounds and then select the Scarlet which automatically gets added to the list of devices. No need for messing about with drivers etc. I was a bit surprised that upon delivery it was quite lightly packaged. But it arrived perfectly sound. Delighted with it!

It's okay. I use this Solo 4th gen to run my Electro Voice RE320 microphone (which more sensitive than the RE20 and SM7B), and I did need some extra pre-amp gain (which can be found using devices like a Fethead, Cloudlifter, or what I got a SubZero MB1). After solving this issue however I can now comfortably run with the interface at about 50% volume for the microphone and it sounds great/hits the 6-12db range for speech without being too noisy. Where my complaint comes from is that I tried to run 80 Ohm (DT770) headphones via the interface at the same time as the microphone, and it lead to a couple of issues. At first, I heard some popping in the headphones audio which I resolved by making the buffer larger for the interface and disabling a driver that was causing latency (Elgato Camera Hub driver). This worked, but then I had people tell me that my microphone output sometimes had a robotic sound to it for short periods of time. It didn't matter what buffer size I used, it kept happening. I ended up having to use my prior headphone amp separately to avoid this issue. I tried different USB ports, power cycling, safe mode for the buffer on and off, nothing worked. I looked up solutions online and couldn't find anything which is unfortunate. Not a problem for me, but if you're planning on having this as a mic in audio out then keep this in mind!

I’m a gaming streamer, and this sound card has been amazing. It’s affordable, easy to use, and the audio quality is surprisingly good for the price. My voice sounds clearer and more pleasant on stream, and the simple controls make everything quick to adjust. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, low-cost upgrade!

Great audio interface

A great audio interface! It's super easy to set up and offers some customisation through its various modes. There is next to no audio latency, and it's super easy to move around - making it perfect for a home studio! It's definitely worth it for anyone looking to get serious about voice-over and recordings in general!

Had a 2nd Gen and decided to go.for an upgrade. Amazing sound quality, almost instant setup and the bundled soft tools are very good too. Perfect for travelling.

my life quality has increased

neyse o geldi hic bir sorun yok.

録音はしていません。ヘッドフォンアウトだけの話ですが、思っていた以上に良いです。 オーディオインターフェースは他にSteinbergのCl1、URX22C等を試しましたが、Scarlettが一番クリアに感じます。 URX22Cの方が若干空間の奥行は感じやすいような気もしましたが、もう手放しているので試せない＆印象としてこちらの方がクリアさみたいなものは感じていました。 しっかりクリアでノイズは一切なく、余計な色付けや主張もしていないように感じます。 これを買ってから、「もっと良い音を」と思ってFiioのk13R2R（5万円）を購入しましたが、違いこそあれど「あれ？Scarlettの方がいいんじゃ…」って事がちょいちょいあります。 DT990PRO(250Ω)、K240Mk2、T3-01、MDR-MV1を使って、k13R2R側の設定をGAINを変えてみたり、OSモードとNOSモードを切り替えてみたり色々やってみましたが、自分の好みとしては正直Scarlettの方が気持ちいいシーンが多かったです。 ■k13R2Rの個人的感想（ScarlettSolo4thと比較した場合） ・左右の空間の広がりが微増 ・どのヘッドホンを使っても、高域の解像度と音量が微増 ・20hz～40hzくらいの超低域に微妙な、若干の広がり感 どれもプラシーボか？？ってくらいの差ですが、明確にその微妙な差を感じます。 その上で、ScarlettSoloの方が大体何を聴いても聴きやすいというか、耳心地が良い気がします。 超低域をしっかり含むバスドラムの、タイト目に鼓膜の振動を感じるキレなんかが、Scarlettは気持ちいい。 k13R2Rでもそれは感じるけど、Scarlettの方が良くも悪くもその超低域が左右に揺れずど真ん中に居て感じやすいのかも。かつ、超高域も私の耳には適度で、分離感や粒感、明瞭さや定位の良さみたいなものは維持しつつも、ドライになりすぎず、音楽的でノリが良い感じがします。（主にMV1が好きで使っています） 結局自分の耳や好みとの相性だと思いますが、とりあえずめちゃくちゃ良い物だと思います。 DT990PROは250Ωですが、私の耳で感じる範囲では十分鳴らせてます。 性能を100%活かせているかはわかりませんが。もっとインピーダンスの高いヘッドホンを鳴らしたい方はヘッドホンアンプを買った方が良いかもしれません。

Muy buena opción para quienes quieren empezar con la edición de audio, puedes adquirir todo el software necesario para comenzar a grabar desde tu computadora, muy satisfecho con mi compra

This item is everything it says it is!!!!! I have already started making PROFESSIONAL SOUNDING MUSIC using this HUB and its now my favorite thing to use while making music......im going to upgrade in the future and get the APOLLO TWIN X but for now THIS IS PLENTY PROFESSIONAL POWER AND SOUND FOR THE MONEY!!!! my favorite feature so far is the AIR FEATURE which brings your voice more to the front and makes you sound really professional. I also love the fact that it it has HALO LIGHTS cause thats the only way I know how to MEASURE SOUND. Don't get me started on the volume. THIS HUB CAN GET SERIOUSLY LOUD so ensure that you are listening or mixing at a SAFE LEVEL FOR YOUR EARS. Last but not least the BUILD. I love the quality of it the way it feels when you take it out the box. To me it feels KINDA PREMIUM the only issue I didnt like is that the box comes with a USB A TO TYPE C cord. I think they should of given us a TYPE C TO TYPE C but thats a small gripe. Other then that if you invest in this HUB your going to love it. Just so you know this HUB also comes with PRO TOOLS AND FL STUDIO PRE INSTALLED all you have to do is finish setting up whichever of those DAW'S YOU WANT TO USE and it can also run ALBLETON. so with all that being said. ENJOY YOUR NEW ITEM.
