  • Great audio interface
Style: Scarlett Solo Configuration: 3rd Gen
My brother had bought this for his bass and he has no complaints. I have it for my e-drum, which doesn't require the inst, air, or 48V buttons, but it works perfectly well for me. It having a microphone output is convenient for my setup since it allows for me to hear my drumset and my computer simultaneously. In addition, having the focusite come with ableton and a whole bunch of paid plug-ins is a steal. I didn't ask for all this, but I'm loving it. ... show more

The preamps are clean and provide clear, high-quality sound with very low latency. Iโ€™ve recorded vocals and guitar, and the clarity is impressive for the price range.

  • Perfect for my needs
Style: Scarlett Solo Configuration: 3rd Gen
I started taking vocal lessons recently and bought a kind of cheapo mic from a store in town. It was working okay until a software update completely screwed up my mic settings. The mic had a voice effects option, but I never used the option, hadn't wanted it, and only bought the mic because it was decently priced and pretty much the only one my store had in stock. I didn't think it would matter. Fast forward two months and following a software update, I started my online lesson and found my instructor was completely thrown because I sounded "weird" to him. After several attempts to figure out what was wrong (I wasn't hearing it on my end), I finally had to do my lesson via cell phone and only got 15 minutes' worth of instruction. When I went back and watched the Skype video recordings of our attempts to fix whatever he was hearing, I was absolutely mortified to hear that the update had very obviously applied a random voice effect and made me sound like a cartoon. I also couldn't get the effect turned OFF. That was the event that led me to buy a much better mic and audio interface. After doing a bit of research, I settled on the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd generation interface. I can only speak to how well this works on Skype for vocal lessons, but would imagine it's just as great with instruments and recording. As this was my first audio interface, I did have to ask the company a few questions. But their customer service is superb and I was able to easily set this up and use it pretty quickly. It's been working great and--best of all--I no longer have to worry about audio issues or having my voice unexpectedly start sounding like Yogi Bear to my instructor. The price was really great as well. ... show more

  • Works perfectly, worth the money
Style: Scarlett Solo Configuration: 3rd Gen
Works AMAZING! Itโ€™s so nice to have a physical volume knob on my desk. They work great for my monitor speakers on my PC. After going through two different 3.5 mm to 1/4 TC cables that didnโ€™t work. I eventually caved in and spent $100 on an audio interface, but it was definitely worth it. Audio sounds great and it worked right out of the box. ... show more
