Brilliant investment into my VO journey. Easy to set up and use and the focus rite tech guys are awesome
It is very good and you can connect it to any Apple device with an adapter that has an extra port to connect it to a charge
I’m VERY new to the world of music making and I needed a way to get a good mic connected to my computer as well as my instruments like my guitars and whatnot. did plenty of research and this seemed to be the best move for a beginner. FIRST OFF: the interface is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, holding that thing within my hands made me feel like a music wizard, funny how expensive equipment can do that. I also was in desperate need of a brand new mic and the one that came with this seemed good, and I wasn’t in the mood to drop another hundred or more finding a good mic. gave this mic a great test when i finally got it and for what it was it was AWESOME. one day ill get one even better but this is definitely a good mic. the headphones I didn’t really have a need for until i need to plug them into the interface so their just chilling nearby, but even then ill probably just get a new card for my current headphones to use. I ain’t no expert but you can take my word at a learning student that this is the best thing you can get for yourself if your a beginner, I plan to use the heck of this thing.
Awesome kit for Mac mini and music production. The headphones provide a wide sound making it more studio quality compared to regular BT Beats studio headphones
Amazing starter pack. Looks great, everything needed in the box. Setting up the focusrite itself is easy thanks to the really excellent walkthrough video guides. Pro tools software is quite advanced, but again follow the videos provided. Very happy so far.
What do you want to know? For that price you have a good product It can work to record vocals and instruments Or you can use it as an amazing sound card via usb Toy choose Will buy again if needed 5 stars
Works very well.dont know about other products hence can’t compare but does the job.microphone is very good quality
Awesome for Beginners. Focusrite Excellent Customer Service. These guys will get you started.
Still learning and playing around but I’m happy so far.
It’s perfect for a beginner and very ready to use, good sound quality, nice headphones
Questo veramente un ottimo kit che ti permette di iniziare avendo in mano tutto quello che serve per lavorare. Chiaramente si pu sempre migliorare ma partire con una buona base di strumentazione sicuramente utile.
Easy setup watch YouTube vids. Levels up my audio from a Samson c010 mic. The clarity of sound in my online lesson for my students has greatly improved.
I got it as a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. It was a bit tricky to figure out but in all is a good starter kit.
What an amazing little beauty this is. Records perfectly. Works really well with my DAW. It is without a doubt the best home recording interface you can get for less than 300. It’s easy to set up and easy to use. Simply plug it into your laptop or PC and follow the instructions. The only thing I would recommend though is that in order to prevent things like latency or drop outs, you’ll need to have 8gb of ram in your computer. This ensures crystal clear click free recordings.
I’m happy with this purchase. Whether to use to record sets of your musical talents but if you’re a DJ and utilizing an app showcasing your DJ skills, this will weed out feedback and background noises. In addition, my comments of this bundle package:
– High performing interfaces at a very reasonable price
– Low noise, great sound
– There’s a model for many a studio task
– Love that metering
– Great build and software bundle
Just a tip – If you have an older mic stand (like about 5 years old ones or more), the holder provided might not fit your existing stand. You may have to take a new age mic stand (the ones with slimmer rods) for the perfect fit.
Not bad for a beginners set. I do wish there was a way to hear the direct monitoring louder without turning up the mic, but it’s still really good.
I bought a new cord to see if that fixed the problem. It did not. It is either the mic or the interface that is the issue.
I called the extended warranty from Asurion and it doesn’t kick in until after the first year. They gave me a number fo Focusrite (turns out to be American and long distance, not toll free) and told me there was a live chat option on their website, I haven’t been able to find it.
Paid over $300 for a bunch of frustration…..I use the setup at least weekly and it is becoming more of a hassle than anything.
J’ai achet ce produit pour pouvoir enregistrer des audios pour des covers. Franchement, j’aime trop ce produit. Le micro minimise le bruit, la carte son est juste magnifique puis le casque, ouf, il est gnial: on arrive en entendre le son comme il se doit. Je le recommande vivement, vous ne serez pas du
Aussi, c’est arriv plus tt que prvu.
Great bit of kit to get my home studio up and running until I get the space for a rack mount mixing desk. Everything in the box that you need to get started. The mic quality is surprisingly good and I was shocked for only being a cheap mic! Even the headphones are good quality compared to my expectations. Can say anything for the free software as I already had protools on my mac, but it worked great on that, and easy to set up. Would highly recommend for any beginner or someone starting ou
Everything about it is simple. Plug the interface into your computer, and within seconds you have a pop up that takes you to Focusrite’s website with excellent quality, well produced video tutorials that walk you step by step through the setup process. You’ll be playing/recording almost immediately. The recording software downloads are pretty big so they may take a while to download depending on your internet connection speed, but the process itself is extremely easy.
For a total novice, this was a piece of cake to use – and I can play my bass right through the headphones with no amp. Jump on YouTube and queue up your favorite tunes and jam right along with them, all through the headphones. The condenser mic in the kit is surprisingly well built with great sound quality, and combined with an inexpensive Pyle boom mic, it’s a nice little rig (other’s may disagree, I’m certainly no mic expert and have very little experience with recording gear…I’m just going off of the testing I’ve personally done). Plus, the combination quarter inch/SLR inputs are about the slickest little things I’ve ever seen. This setup is great for practice and lessons as well as recording your own music, if that’s your thing.
Two very enthusiastic thumbs up from this noob. Thanks Focusrite. What a cool product…I can see why so many pros use these things.
Fcil de usar, excelente calidad de sonido, muy buenos audifonos
Only issues where the additional downloads, some didnt work for me to install
Das Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 erfllt diese Zwecke in ersten Praxistests zu meiner vollsten Zufriedenheit. Zwischen Auspacken, anschlieen an ein Macbook und ersten Aufnahmen vergingen zehn Minuten und die Qualitt empfand ich als herausragend.
Eine womglich wichtige Information, die mir vorher fehlte: Da ich nicht vollends sicher war, wie die Qualitt des mitgelieferten Mikrofons (ein CM25 Kondensatormikro) des Bundles war und ich ohnehin ein zweites Mikro brauchte, habe ich mir nach einiger Recherche fr Podcasts das Rode Procaster dazu gekauft.
Diese Kombination aus dem Scarlett 2i2 und dem Rode Procaster hat (fr mich) berhaupt nicht funktioniert. Halbwegs ertrglich sind die Aufnahmen in Punkte Lautstrke nur mit voll aufgedrehtem Gain und wenn man wirklich absolut verlsslich und ohne Vernderung 3-5 Zentimeter dicht in den Procaster reinspricht. Das ist vielleicht praktikabel fr Leute, die Texte lesen, aber fr einstndige Gesprchssituationen doch serh herausfordernd. Ich habe nun im Nachhinein gelesen, dass die Kombi vielen Probleme bereitet und das Scarlett wohl fr den Procaster zu schwachbrstig ist und man da technisch noch mal nachrsten muss, damit die Kombi luft.
Ich habe mit dem mitgelieferten Scarlett-Mikro absolut ausreichende Ergebnisse erzielt und bin auch mit dem Kopfhrer (Qualitt, Tragbarkeit) sehr zufrieden. Als Zweitmikro habe ich ein simples Marantz MPM 1000 dazugekauft, und diese Kombi mit dem Scarlett funktioniert auch sehr gut.
Noch ein kleiner Tipp fr Leute, die das Scarlett 2i2 mobil einsetzen oder wegpacken wollen: Das Bundle kommt in einer sehr wuchtigen Verpackung, die aber kaum zur dauerhaften Aufbewahrung/Transport geeignet ist. Am besten gleich einige simple Utensilien (gibt spezielle Boxen) fr Kabel, Mikro, ggf. Kopfhrer und das Interface selbst dazukaufen. Ich habe mir bei Amazon alle entsprechenden Behltnisse, noch eine Spinne samt Transportrucksack fr 70 zusammenkaufen knnen.
I’m a complete noob. So setting things up took a while since I use a basic PC and I had issues because not all the softwares that come with this set are compatible with my system. So setting up took a while. And then it was noisy I realised. A friend of mine checked everything and told me the issue was the mic’s. So I got a replacement.
And since the softwares were already set up when I bought it the first time, all I needed to do the second time around was hook everything up to the PC and I was good to go. There is no defect in this one, and it records such clean sound.
Again, I’m a noob, and I’m unaware of all the cooler stuff out there. But I do know that this is a great studio set for this deal, and I’d 100% recommend.
This thing is great. I got it to work out of the box even on a Debian machine!
Esta en excelentes condiciones sin ningun golpe o resguo, y se ve hermoso por cierto!!
Por otro lado, poda traer (como otras tarjetas de esta gama) un cable de USB-C a USB-C (trae solo el de USB-C a USB normal). Y ya que se trata de de un “todo en uno”, le falta algo muy importante: Un pie para el micro. Es imposible usarlo sin pie, ya que se trata de un micro de condensador, o sea, que toca comprar uno.
Pero en general, es muy buena compra.
This is a great package by Focusrite which comes only in the iconic focusrite red colour.
-Large diagrphram mic – gives a good natural sound on vocals and instruments. Includes a goo quality (red) XLR cable
-Headphones suppied with a screw on 3.5mm to 1/4″ stereo jack adapter. These have a great sound but can distort easily. Annoying when you spend ages on your mix thinking it is that only to find out it’s the headphones!
-Dual input audio interface. Well built aduio interface with two combo jacks, phantom power, monitor and line outputs. Includes USB cable to connect to computer and comes with a variety of great software packages including Protools (if you and your computer can handle it) and Ableton Live.
Great package for any home recording to PC or MAC
I bought this product from Amazon and I’m so happy. 5 stars
Il pezzo forte del pacchetto chiaramente la scheda audio, ma anche le cuffie sono davvero belle e pratiche.
Adatto sia per professionisti che per principianti che vogliono pulizia e qualit dalle loro registrazioni. Io lo uso per cantare e per doppiare, ma anche per chi suona fa la sua porca figura (c’ l’ingresso apposito per gli strumenti elettrificati).
Il marchio palesemente serio e professionale: l’intero procedimento di installazione avviene tramite dei video davvero ben fatti che, con le credenziali fornite, si possono consultare online in qualunque momento. La confezione in cui arriva tutto top.
Solo due pecche.
1: l’assenza di un sostegno (treppiede da tavolo o gomito fissabile) per il microfono, per lo si trova senza problemi anche su Amazon a pochi euro.
2: come gi riscontrato da altri commenti su questo prodotto e questo venditore (e prima dell’acquisto ero, infatti, un po’ titubante), c’ la possibilit di ricevere un prodotto leggermente difettato in qualcosa. Nel mio caso, purtroppo, il cavo faceva cortocircuito. C’ chi metterebbe 4 stelle, ma il venditore, come per tutti gli altri casi che si sono verificati, ha risposto prontamente alla mia segnalazione e mi ha mandato un cavo nuovo di zecca che ha risolto il problema.
Per cui, di nuovo, se il prezzo attuale conveniente per voi e cercate un set di qualit – non esitate!
The instrument sound quality is superb. Excellent online help and support with the set-up on the computer.
Is the best for the money. Easy to install and great quality of the sound. Scarlet 4 life
Very easy plug and play, comes with a wealth of quality DAW programs and VSTs, EQs, and so on. Can easily make studio quality music with proper DAW knowledge, and high quality home recordings even without.
Muito boa a placa e o microfone. O fone tambm bom, porm aperta um pouco mais as orelhas devido a presso das espumas.
The mic works well plus I mean for the price its a pretty solid buy. Im very inexperienced with microphones so for a first time buyer for a mic its a good deal in my opinion.
I’ll be a little lazy here and say “ditto” to the other positive reviewers. This is an easy-to-setup product that works pretty much right out of the box. I am no musician, producer, or sound engineer, but the included mic and headset seem to be pretty decent. The only gripe would be about the included XLR cable. It comes to you folded instead of rolled in a coil and therefore is reluctant to let go of the kinks. I replaced the cable with an AmazonBasics one, which rolls up nicely. (I know… OCD… but I still give it a 5-star rating because it does what it is supposed to do).
I love it sound good easy to use once you have downloaded all the software.
Perfect for what I need what more can I ask fo
The sound sound quality is impressive
The best equipment iv brought to date
Mic is top notch
The headset is crisp
Everything what you need for vocals is here.
Recommend 10/10
It came on time and had lots of usable software that came with it. Its exactly what i needed.
This product worked as advertised. Sounds great and mic and headphones are top quality.
Very easy to use on Windows 10, connect up, power on, find the install file once connected, job done! Don’t forget though if using daw like audacity, one microphone = one mono channel – it confused me, thought it wasn’t working but I’m stupid so, thats that.
Per quanto riguarda il rapporto qualit prezzo questo un ottimo prodotto. Principalmente utilizzo questa scheda audio per produrre musica amatorialmente a casa, ed molto adatta al mio utilizzo. Ho acquistato il pack in cui sono inclusi cuffie e microfono e anche loro sono davvero ottimi prodotti. Per il momento non ho avuto alcun problema.
I have had my older scarlets for years and I accidently dodged up the xlr input so needed a new one. I loved that this one came with a decent mic and headphones. I use it all the time for work – works well with zoom and protools if you work with either of these programs. Brilliant product.
Purchased to use to record guitar playing. Easy to use and clean, clear sound.
This is a fantastic piece of kit. A friend told me about it. I looked it up online. There are so many youtube videos showing you how to set it up and use it. It is so easy to use. I use it with Garageband. I use it at the moment to zoom music to other people and the quality of the performance outstrips most of the other zoomers.
Got this as it has everything one needs to start with. Pleased with the set. Easy to set up and use. Good sound quality. Only downer is the cable for the mic which is flimsy and poor quality. Overall good beginners item.
Had to have a professional set it up for me at a substantial cost. Not happy about that.
Very impressed with this system. Simple to set up and amazing quality for the money. Thanks for a great product.
Premetto che sono un appassionato di musica e home recording ed aver integrato questo Bundle SCARLETT stato veramente il massimo che potessi avere. Il rapporto qualit-prezzo credo che sia il pi economico che si possa trovare in rete. Ho applicato la scheda direttamente sul mio PC WINDOWS core i3 con grande successo. La registrazione risulta completamente pulita e priva di rumori, mentre la qualit del microfono equivalente a quelli dal costo di alta gamma regalando tracce audio come in un vero Studio di registrazione. Le cuffie a corredo danno quel tocco di eleganza che fanno di questo pacchetto un vero gioiello.
L’imballaggio risulta essere curato e protetto.
Great value. Haven’t tried the mic yet but it feels solid.
Headphones are fine.
Downside is that there’s no separate volume for the headphone versus studio monitors
I’ve been noticing that if my Mac is asleep, when “wake it” my speakers (attached to the Focusrite” pop every time. This never has happened before with any other audio interface I’ve had attached to my system.
Aussi bien sur Macbook pro que sur iMac2020, fonctionne trs bien en USB-C . Pas ou peu de configuration, reconnue directement la carte joue bien son role. Micro correct dans le package surtout pour faire du stream ou des petites activits multimdia. Ne pas hsiter parler a 10-15 cm du micro pour obtenir le meilleur rendu. casque de faible qualit mais ce prix …
Latency was challenge but with Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface my problems were solved. Now I can get on and learn properly
Prodotto consigliatissimo! Arrivato in tempo e perfettamente funzionante, io registro sia cover che inediti e l’ho trovato utilissimo, come anche i tutorial e i software che sono scaricabili subito appena ci si connette al sito della focusrite scarlett! Funziona anche con GarageBand! Devo ancora imparare bene come sfruttarlo al massimo, ed utilizzarlo in sinergia con altri prodotti (ed. Pannelli fonoassorbenti) ma gi cos ha un’ottima qualit! Lo consiglio a chi vuole un prodotto professionale senza spendere miliardi!!
Excelente producto y el servicio por parte del proveedor excelente
Almost a perfect deal for beginners and I cannot recommend it enough.
The interface itself is aesthetically very pleasing with a very premium feel and build quality. The output is very good quality and I was especially pleased with the clipping LEDs. The only real negative I have with the interface is the usage of a glossy finish on the front and back, whilst it looks nice, glossy finishes should be nowhere near where you expect hands and fingers to be.
The included condensir really shocked me. On initial unpacking, I was a little worried as it seemed to lack any sort of weight, but as soon as the plastic came off, those worries went away. The feel in the hand is superb and once again very stylish to the eyes. Upon playing back the test I recorded, I was shocked at how clear the audio was, even without any processing. Are there better microphones on the market? Of course, but this is aimed at the beginner and at its price, easily takes on the competition. My only issues are very minor, but personally I’d like a little bit of weight to be added. Additionally, as this is aimed at the starter, a small table stand solution would be nice, but if this isn’t done right, it could actually cheapen the feel of the product. I genuinely don’t understand why Focusrite don’t sell this microphone as a standalone.
Unfortunately, the headphones were a huge disappointment after experiencing the interface and microphone. The headphones were not very accommodating for my slightly larger-than-average head resulting in them feeling like they were squeezing my head. Moreover, they use an on-ear cup design, which I personally don’t like. So far, my issues have been subjective, so if you have a smaller head and like on-ear cups, then neither of these will be issues. However, what will be an issue is the lackluster audio. I really was not able to use these for a full session as the audio was just really tinny. Focus rite clearly focused on the interface and microphone for this bundle and the pros of those vastly outweigh the cons of the headphones. I’d highly recommend using a separate pair of headphones with this bundle.
The included XLR cable is fantastic. It is high quality and of good length, if anything, its probably too long considering its target audience, but its definitely one I’m keeping in my kit bag. In contrast, the included Type-C cable is much too short and just feels cheap. Easily replaced though and rather have it than not.
Overall, grab yourself this and another pair of headphones and you are sorted for the early days. For a beginner, I cannot recommend this enough and potentially the only other product I’d suggest is the 2i2 from the same Scarlett range.
So easy to install neat compact and really clear sound into the PC. Ideal for recording music or for your youtube video voice overs. I’m sure other brands are just as good, but I am more than happy with the microphone headphones and box of tricks.
Works like a dream, perfect for a first home studio set up!
One of the best items I e bought from Amazon arrived quick and packaged well .and an amazingly easy to use quality bit of equipme
Gran combo y calidad por el precio. El micrfono y las grabaciones son sper ntidas.
I literally plugged it in, used Reaper to record on a MacBook Pro. Didn’t even have to install any software to get started. Not sure what some previous reviewer was complaining about.
I have recorded vocals, guitars. It is pretty decent. The headphone are good. There is some spill onto the microphones, but at this price range it can be forgiven .
In the past I have had to buy each separately, but having all there in a neat affordable package is awesome. Perfect for Youtubers, singer songwriters, Podcasts, Voice over artists – Highly recommended.
Hubby absolutely over the moon all as described on line thank you
I was debating between getting this bundle or the HyperX Quadcast mic and I’m glad I went with this.
The whole thing was nice and easy to set up, the Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen has a nice solid feel to it with easy to understand knobs with light rings to show audio clipping, the mic has some nice weight to it and sound from it is nice and clear.
The only downside with this bundle for me is the headphones, the ear cups are to small my ears and end up with earache after an hour or two of wearing them but the sound from them are pretty good.
If your looking to move away from USB to XLR mic this is a good bundle to start with.
Al ser nuestro primer micro, la verdad poca idea. Pero por ahora todo funciona perfectamente con una sensacin de calidad tanto a nivel de sonido como de materiales importante. El plazo de entrega el indicado.
Hemos apostado por este equipo y la verdad, estamos de momento bastante satisfechos. Dentro de nuestro desconocimiento por que no podemos comparar. Pero escuchas lo grabado y dices.. wau. Siempre desde nuestra posicin
La instalacin una vez pillas de que se trata no es un problema. Como una camara web por USB con la tarjeta de sonido. Estoy trabando con Lunix Mint sin problemas.
Ahora viene la parte dificil. La gestin de los archivos y la edicin. Poer eso solo se arregla viendo los tutoriales de you tube del pragrama que cada uno use.
Te viene con infinidad de herramientas y mas que se van actualizando en la cuenta de focusrite .. una pasada!
Ademas es de facil instalacin , conectar usb y listo.
Para nombrar algo malo , para la siguiente cersion aadiria un boton de on/off , de hecho puedes desconectarla en cualquier momento tirando del conector sin darle a expulsar dispositivo , pero debes bajar todos los diales a 0 si no quieres cargartela .
Davvero un ottimo acquisto! Ho pr so questo “kit” per iniziare a registrare delle canzoni… che bomba ragazzi! Per il prezzo non posso chiedere di meglio! Scheda audio ottima, installazione pressoch istantanea nel momento in cui collegi il cavo USB-C al Computer. Latenza del segnale pressoch pari a 0 (anche registrando dal mio piano elettrico.). Qualit delle cuffie davvero ottima, suoni ben bilanciati (bassi, medi e alti sono tutti ben equalizzati. Ho apprezzato molto il fatto che i bassi si sentono molto bene e molto profondi, ma nonostante ci risultano perfettamente regolati – non sono troppo pompati.) Il microfono risulta anch’esso di ottima fattura. Tutor in metallo e bello solido. Qualit di registrazione molto elevata (con il filtro Anti-pop il massimo).
Vale davvero l’acquisto! (Ovviamente non dovete paragonare ogni singolo componente ad altre marche magari da 1000. Ricordate che sono 250 per microfono, scheda audio e cuffie. Ottimo!!
An amazing product…quality is wonderful! Gen 3 has a compact audio inerface which also suits portability. The Mic is also works pretty well…captures the minutest of sounds..the audio interface has air functionality which enables a clearer recording. The headphones are exquisite…high mids and low are perfect for mixing. The studio does not offer effects in monitor while recording…also comes with a free Pro Tools First. In all in an afordable price it is great for use at home especially for beginners.
Great for music as a hobby, or as a starter kit. Perfect to sta
I wanted to start recording some music at home – basic vocal and acoustic guitar, and this product was the perfect buy for me. This is great bang for the buck, and especially for beginners like me, I didn’t have to think about what gear to get. This is an all in one package – mic, mic cable, interface, software (comes with Ableton Live lite and Pro Tools first). If you have a guitar and a laptop you are good to go. You might want to buy a mic stand, a pop filter and a guitar lead cable in addition too.
If you want to record acoustic guitar through a different mic, the Scarlett 2i2 bundle is the product you should go for, and you’ll also need to buy an additional mic.
Overall, very adequate sound quality at the cheapest price for beginners. Got me to play, song and record regularly – 10/10
daughter was pleased with product, she is only 15 and managed to set it up all by herself. Uses both piano and MIC to record
Fantastic product. Really improves the quality of signal for home studio recording. Very easy to install and set-up, although does take some time to do all the on-line registrations. Includes home studio software if you don’t already have it. Very happy!
Really happy with the Solo Studio. Easy to use and sounds great.
I had problems with the Pro Tools software and on research, so did quite a few others, but that’s nothing to do with the hardware, just some issues with Pro tools itself. I’d therefore recommend going for the other option in the software package that comes with it or using existing software you already have. That’s just my personal experience.
Overall, extremely happy with this product.
Ottimo prodotto in rapporto qualit-prezzo.
A mio giudizio, ideale per voice over ma fa un ottima figura anche sul cantato.
Microfono all’apparenza solido e di qualit pi che buona.
Le cuffie fanno il loro lavoro.
Mi riservo di ampliare la recensione dopo un periodo di utilizzo pi approfondito.
The other thing I like about this, as well as my orchestra friends, is that if you don’t mind having your laptop around (which most of them do already) you can easily port this unit and its accessories around without fear. The durability for travel is wonderful.
Scarlett nunca falla. Ya haba odo hablar de este pack, pero lo vea algo excesivo por el precio. Pero ahora por 200 es un precio muy muy bueno. Los cascos son hasta ahora los mejores que he tenido, super cmodos y tienen un soido espectacular. El micro muy bueno, responde muy bien a las frecuencias altas para las voces, y ya ni hablar de la interfaz, tiene muchas funciones, entre otras la de intensificar la frecuencia media alta, para que responda mejor a la hora de grabar voces. Muy recomendable para home studio.
Que ce soit pour faire du chant, effectuer des prises de son de vos instruments (piano, guitare, …) ou mme capturer votre voix pour des vidos, podcasts et diffusions en direct/plateformes de messagerie vocale, vous aurez ce qu’il vous faut.
====================
DESCRIPTION EN DTAILS
====================
INTERFACE > design et finitions soignes, y compris sur la qualit des potards. Les indicateurs visuels sont assez voyants pour surveiller vos prises son. Les branchements sont simples et rapides sans devoir forcer sur les connectiques. Pour la reconnaissance sur le systme, aucun soucis rencontr. Au mieux si vous galrez en informatique : passez directement par le site officiel de Focusrite, et suivez le guide pas pas pour tlcharger les bons logiciels (et enregistrer au passage votre produit pour profiter de nombreuses ressources, logiciels de MAO et plugins). Dans tous les cas, une fois l’interface branche en USB sur le PC, elle est directement reconnue (dans le cas contraire, redmarrez votre systme et c’est tout bon).
MICRO > suffit bon nombre d’activits diffrentes, mais n’hsitez pas utiliser un autre micro de meilleure qualit encore si vous voulez exploiter au mieux l’interface audio.
CASQUE > bon systme de rglage et cble de bonne qualit. Attention toutefois la taille des bonnets qui ne conviendra peut-tre pas tout le monde, puisqu’ils reposent sur les oreilles plutt que de les englober. Question confort, c’est correct, mme s’il existe mieux.
===========
CONCLUSION
===========
Interface de trs bonne qualit, qui ne ternit pas l’image de la marque Focusrite reconnue dans le milieu de l’audio pour son expertise et les atouts de ses produits. Pour le casque et le micro fournis, ils sont l pour proposer un pack tout-en-un un prix accessible, sans tre exceptionnels.
Les plus exigeants d’entre vous investiront certainement (si ce n’est pas dj fait) dans un micro et un casque (ou des enceintes de monitoring) de meilleure qualit, si vous avez le budget qui va avec (comptez environ ~300)
Je recommande ce produit dans l’ensemble, dont le prix est totalement justifi
Plug it in, download the drivers, and you’re good to go. Maybe 5 minutes of setup time. It’s important to uninstall ASIO4ALL beforehand, though.
Unlike using ASIO4ALL, this thing doesn’t keep you from using other audio devices. My DAW picked it up and you can select it like normal, but other audio devices work normally at the same time. I can switch from recording to listening to something else seamlessly.
The sound quality is good and the noise floor seems pretty low. It’s so much better that I’m seriously considering re-recording some of the stuff I did previously, where the audio went straight into my sound card, despite the fact it would mean hours more recording.
The headphones are cheap, but they get the job done. I’d recommend getting a replacement or using what you already have, since that would probably be better.
what’s not to like about Focusrite? The unit is solid, REALLY quiet and is well made and this is a killer beginner kit for voice over or even writing your own music. This is the only unit I recommend to song writers, singers and voice over artists because of it’s superb pre amps and quality made products overall. Do not hesitate to pick one of these kits up, you won’t disappointed.
Just a heads up, if you buy this product and buy a mic stand with a male end, you can remove the chrome insert on the mic clip so it will fit your mic stand. (See pics)
Perfect little piece of kit. Very well made & robust. You basically get what you pay for. Quality
Really great and great service, though I’d recommend only buying this if you already have a daw you can’t get buy on what the give you.
This works superbly well. The sound quality is high and the condenser microphone that comes with it is great for vocals or instruments. Some handy plugins and access to software too. Was really pleased overall.
I like the fact that they included a 3.5mm to quarter inch adapter for the included headset and am also glad to see that the interface now uses a USB-C port. However, the USB-C cable that is included is a USB-C to USB-A. If you happen to have a USB-C to USB-C connector and have a port for it on your computer, I would highly recommend taking advantage of it. Microphone has a good hefty sturdiness to it when you get it. The included headphones are not extremely good, but will suffice for most projects.
For folks using Adobe Audition or similar software for recording, it’s worth mentioning that the device class be said to ASIO vs MME since it may not recognize the separate inputs otherwise when monitoring the audio.
The only reason I gave this product one less star was simply on the part of Amazon fulfillment. While I understand they have a lot of items to ship, I actually had to return the item TWICE. Because the first two times they sent me the item, it wasn’t the item that was described. They only sent me a Focusrite 2i2 interface, which might have been fine if it also came with the rest of the bundled items, but it was only the interface. The second time they sent me the same interface, which was not the Focusrite Solo Studio Bundle. I spent a good amount of time chatting with 3 different Amazon representatives that happened to be overseas to try to get them to understand that all I wanted was what was in the picture and had them note that it needed to be a “BUNDLE”. That was over a 2 month process, but thankfully received my item on the 3rd attempt. So this was extremely surprising for me considering that it was an item that was also sold by Amazon and not a third party vendor.
I’m so chuffed right now. I literally only ordered this yesterday and it came today! (I don’t have prime), amazing! Thanks 🙂
Was gift for musical friend. She’s been having lots of fun with it.
First class sound quality, I’m so pleased with this. Their tech support is second-to-none.
My only frustration is that the bundled software (Avid) turned out to be incomparable with the latest Apple software on my MacBook Pro, so do check that – as I should have done. Fortunately, the Ableton Live software works for me.
Sin ms, es una interfaz funcional y de gran calidad. Una compra excelente.
Excellent product works to perfection. Tutorials very good on Focusrite web site.
I use the Focusrite Scarlett at my University for creating sound based art. I have finally had the pleasure of buying my own after renting one out. This kit is well worth the money, easily compatible with MIDI and even audio editing software. In the future I will most likely buy another Focusrite product.
risultata molto facile da installare, il mio Mac non ha avuto problemi nel riconoscerla. Unico neo, ma solo per me: alcuni software non riconoscono la scheda (Audacity per esempio) mentre GrageBand funziona alla grande ed esporta facilmente la traccia mono del microfono in file stereo. Il sound che produce mi ha soddisfatto molto.
MUSIC RECORDING/PRODUCTION
Everything works well and easily. There are plenty of tutorials you can simply follow for setup on mac or pc all the way to working with either DAWs system you use that is included (Ableton live and ProTools first)
Heads up – The version you get of Ableton live is a specially made version handed out to companies like Focusrite to advertise the product (either the DAW or Focusrite I guess) If you want more limitless options it will cost you for better versions of Ableton. As for ProTools, some people I’ve talked to have said you need to pay a monthly subscription.
I think that the condenser mic does work well but I would like to upgrade it in the near future.
The headphones are painful to use. Sound quality is fine but after a few minutes of use, it does hurt my ears and I’m constantly adjusting them.
Overall I am very impressed by the expensive feel and look of the system but wish there was some sort of option to pick and choose what peripherals I get in the package. Although, I understand that this is a combo set sold by Focusrite and that I’m being a bit greedy for wanting the best bang for my buck. 🙂
I would recommend this to any friend.
