INTRODUCING SCARLETT 3RD GEN
The new generation of our best-selling range of USB audio interface
Jun 20, 2019 Apogee One V Scarlett 2i2. Hi folks, I currently use a Scarlett 2i2 with my Mac. Was tempted to pull the trigger on an Apogee One. I owned the One for ipad - it did not sound better than my saffire 56, which would sound similar to the scarlett I think as they used the same preamps and converters. Welcome to the Gearslutz Pro Audio. Please launch GarageBand, create new project, select voice, and click choose. Please name project, click create, mouse click garage band (next to apple logo), and navigate to preferences. Once in the preferences menu, click the audio/midi tab option, set audio output and audio input to Scarlett 2i2 USB. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, but I don’t know if it works on my iPad, plugged in with a USB-A - USB-C converter. We play music with two guitars, bass, drums and vocals. Which software is good for recording? I have Garageband, but probably there is something more “professional” on the App Store. Marketed for ‘musicians on the go’, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a premium audio interface. The 2i2 refers to the number of inputs and outputs the device has – 2 Hybrid XLR/1/4″ TRS jack inputs on the front of it and 2 balanced monitor outputs on the back. Some XLR mics require Phantom power to work properly and it’s included here.
Playing a part in the production of more tracks than any other audio interface in history, Scarlett makes turning your musical vision into sonically pristine reality totally hassle-free. For Scarlett 3rd Gen, we’ve added our best-ever Scarlett mic preamps, additional fixed line inputs, refined monitoring features and enhanced performance, ensuring professional-quality recording results every time.
Mar 19, 2014 I purchased Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (i heard it was the best). So i decided to give it a try it; I used GarageBand to record and while i'm recording i hear clicking sounds and sounds goes in and out. So, i restart the program and it will work for a couple a mins, then Garageband will crashes. Showing a list of reasons why it did.
The Scarlett 3rd Gen line-up comprises six interfaces: Solo, 2i2, 4i4, 8i6, 18i8 and 18i20, plus two Studio bundles – Solo Studio and 2i2 Studio. Whether you’re looking to perfectly capture every nuance of your guitar and vocals, or bring together your studio’s ever-expanding array of synths, drum machines, outboard and effects, there’s a model in the Scarlett 3rd Gen range for you.
With its exceptional design and rock-solid build quality, Scarlett is already loved by guitarists, singer-songwriters, electronic musicians and engineers as a truly versatile and reliable recording solution – but Scarlett 3rd Gen takes every element of it a step further…
OUR BEST SCARLETT PREAMPS EVER
Focus on your music without worrying about your recordings. Feeding into class-leading 24-bit/192kHz converters, the Scarlett 3rd Gen mic preamp is high in gain, low in noise and supremely transparent. We’ve been making preamps for 30 years, and our decades of experience mean Scarlett sounds just like you.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR
Activate the Air circuit on Scarlett 3rd Gen’s upgraded mic preamps to make your guitars and vocals sound instantly brighter and more spacious, giving them a lustrous sheen that can make all the difference in the mix. Air emulates the technology of the same name from our legendary ISA preamp – just ask your local hit record producer how big a deal that is.
I/OS AND HALOS
From the compact 2i2’s two inputs and two outputs, to the rack-mount 18i20’s immense 18 analogue and ADAT digital inputs, and 20 outputs, Scarlett 3rd Gen caters to all I/O requirements, no matter how simple or expansive. You get instrument inputs with sky-high headroom, ultra-clean balanced line level inputs, balanced TRS outputs for doing away with speaker hum, headphone outputs (two of them with the 8i6, 18i8 and 18i20), and MIDI I/O for hooking up external synths. Focusrite’s signature Gain Halos, meanwhile, light up around gain knobs to indicate input levels, making monitoring visually intuitive and guaranteeing distortion-free recordings.
FAST AND EASY
No audio interface is easier to get up and running with than Scarlett 3rd Gen. The QuickStart tool speeds you through registration and setup, while USB-C connectivity lets you plug into your laptop whenever and wherever the recording muse takes you, with latency so low you won't even notice it.
