What software comes with Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen?

Show 5.0 out of 5 stars Love it! This is an update. Love the interface now. It didn't work when connected to a Satechi multi-port USB adaptor that Apple recommends for Macbook pros with M1 chips. The Satechi is supposed to have enough power to power the Scarlett 4i4, but it's a piece of crap and doesn't. Don't spend $100 on the Satechi. Search out something that will power the audio interfaces that you use, etc. The Satechi has 1A power output which should power the Scarlett 4i4 but it doesn't. Get something with 1.5A or higher IMO.When I plugged the Scarlett 4i4 directly into my Macbook pro M1, it did exactly what it was supposed to do and the setup screen immediately popped up. It worked with the Focusrite controller at that point. I do have a suggestion for the company. Add a separate power option (USB-C or whatever) because newer laptops (like Macs) are getting fewer input/output options and it would be nice to be able to plug the audio interface into a USB power station or whatever and then hook it to the computer. Other than that, awesome piece of equipment.I hooked up the Scarlett 4i4 to my Macbook Pro M1 chip via a Satechi MULTI-PORT ADAPTER and nothing happened. The lights lit for a second then nothing. I downloaded the Focusrite controller and it says no hardware is connected. I spent an hour troubleshooting and still nothing. I don't have time for crap that doesn't work as advertised. I have an old PreSonus Audiobox that works fine so there is no reason this one shouldn't. Reviews with imagesTop reviews from the United StatesThere was a problem filtering reviews right now.

Images in this review  Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2022 Mac OS Catalina, PT Ultimate 2022.9. I was looking for a simple, easy to use interface for ProTools Ultimate ever since Avid dropped support for my mBox Pro. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo fit the bill. The interface appears as a Mac system audio device without any drivers BUT if you want to unlock high sample rates and disable the USB storage function, you'll need to install Focusrite control. Once that's done, it works seamlessly with PT without any fuss. The outputs could use a bit more gain (main & headphone) but otherwise the Solo is a perfect replacement for the mBox. Clean, quiet and compact, I would recommend it. Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2020 REVISED REVIEW: I'm an easy customer. The thing works, I'm happy. Thing doesn't work, I'm unhappy. The Focusrite worked out of the box (YAY!). Then it has issues (BOO!). Then I resolved said issues (YAY!). Now it works as expected. Has this device been a walk in the park? No, not really. There are some tweaks you need to make to your computer (See Update 7/7/2020 & 8/21/2020). With that said, I have been using my Focusrite LITERALLY every day. I have a Rode NT1 attached and I use that for video conferencing, recording vocals for my band GreyHalo, for podcasts, and for playing only D&D with family and friends. It's been a huge asset in this online life, and I have to say .. I'm happy I got this. While I originally said I would hard pass in the future, I've decided I LIKE my Focusrite 2i2. It's nor perfect, but from what I've read on other audio interfaces, nothing is. My son has a PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 2x2 USB Audio Interface and we've had to do some tweaking to his laptop to get it to work as expected. I realize that it's impossible for any company to know how everyone's computer will work with their hardware. So would I recommend this again? Yes, yes I would. And in fact, I have. And with that, I've also told them the tweaks I've made and how to do it so they can get faster results. I still have latency in my DAW of choice (Reaper), but that's something I'll have to resolve in the DAW. Not Focusrite's fault. But I've used some pretty hoity-toity VST/VSTi with this Focusrite 2i2 and it's handled everything like a champ. I'm not disappointed one bit in my purchase. And in the future, when I need something beefer, you can be sure I'll look to Focusrite once more. UPDATE 8/21/202: OK! After scouring the interwebs, I think I found out the issue with crackling in certain software (Discord, Facebook video, Steam chats). It turns out most of those software requires a higher sample rate. I had my Focusrite set at 44100, which was the default that the audio interface started at. HOWEVER, if you put it at 48000 with a buffer size of 192 then the crackling is gone and you can use any software as excepted. UPDATE 7/7/2020: However, since I had it fixed I recorded several songs with no issues. Lord willing my music career will finally see some fruition. Is it worth the purchase? For the price, yeah it's a decide device. I do wish I would have gotten the Presonus as it has midi in, but I think if you don't have a need for midi this is a solid device that should last a while. ONE last issue. Latency. If I can use Guitar Rig with my guitar in real time that would be great. But I haven't figured out if that's because of my DAW (Reaper) or the device. ORIGINAL REVIEW: With that said, I'm going to flat out say that this has been nothing but a pain in my neck. I bought the Scarlet 2i2 with the intention of recording voices for games and animation, as well as podcasts. Since the quarantine order, I've used it for video conferencing with work. And, it works. I have a Rode NT1 and everything sounds amazing. HOWEVER, the driver will crash constantly. I'll be watching a video, and it will just stop working. I'll be in the middle of a conference call, and it will crash. It's crashed while recording a podcast. It's crashed while recording a video. It just .. crashes. And the only thing I can do is force it to restart by changing the buffer size. Then it kicks back in and I'm good for a while. It's beyond infuriating. There are no errors in the event log. All the drivers are up to date, as far as I know. Except the Focusrite website is always seems to be down. My computer is more than powerful enough to run this relatively simple device. I really want to like this, and I really want to recommend these to my friends who also are looking for hardware for recording their own podcasts and videos and so on. In this time of isolation, people are looking for professional solutions to record good audio. This interface ... I'd do a hard pass.

But this help the microphone be properly identified and helps deliver high quality audio and nice crisp sound. Images in this review Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2022 I've tried a few interfaces like this over the years. I'm by no means a professional, but have been doing guitar and voice recording for a couple decades. This thing is awesome. Great sound quality. Easy to use. Quality dials. Basically plug and play. I'm super happy with it. Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2022 I have installed quite a few of this interfaces on sound systems for churches. It has served well and no recalls or complaints as of yet. It’s easy to install by USB and drivers and app are downloadable. We are Kingdom Innovations of Atlanta. Visit us on Facebook Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2022 Incredibly clear audio through mic, instrument, and monitor. This thing paired with a nice set of headphones is amazing. The free software has a steep learning curve but is capable of much more than I expected. Just do it. Whether you're just starting out or an audio snob, for the price it's worth picking one up.

Having gone through this learning curve for a couple of hours, I'm very happy with the sound quality. The earth hum and other unwanted noises I was getting from my older 1st generation Scarlett is no longer present. 5.0 out of 5 stars Avis d'un amateur avec un DT770 250 Ohm Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on May 15, 2020 Hmm, j'allais écrire quelque chose de simple mais finalement je vais détaillé car certains comme moi doivent passer des heures à chercher quoi prendre pour avoir une bonne qualité sonore, tout en se demandant si c'est compatible avec leur casque. Commençons. Livraison arrivée avec 20 jours d'avance. ça c'est dit. Ensuite je ne suis pas un expert, ni un musicien. J'ai acheter un DT770 250 Ohm, mais les casques à haute impédance requiert certaines choses pour fonctionner pleinement. J'ai d'abord acheter une carte son interne que je ne citerais pas, et qui ne faisait pas l'affaire ( imperfection sonore si aucun bruit ) Puis je me suis fait recommandé par un pote qui d'ailleurs ne s'y connais pas du tout la Scarlett Focusrite 2i2 3rd Gen et j'me suis dit, bon go. Je viens de la recevoir, je la branche, elle s'allume verte puis petit processus d'inscription sur le site rapide, ils te donnent l'exe du logiciel qui s'installe en 2-2 après reboot du PC, et qui ne me servira probablement jamais à rien car je suis pas musicien. Rooolaalaaa, le son n'a rien à voir doux jésus. ( Désolé j'écoute en même temps que je rédige ) BON, le DT770 250 Ohm tourne bien sur cette interface audio, donc elle suffit à alimenter des 250 ohm, faut pousser le son à fond, mais c'est déjà fort, bien plus que les db d'une écoute régulière. La qualité est LAAARGE meilleur que des cartes son interne à 40-50 € Simple d'utilisation Très petite/compacte Tu branche juste le cordon d'alim fournis ( USB ) à ton PC ( carte mère ) et de l'autre coté de la Scarlett tu y branche ton casque. Détail : tu peut y brancher uniquement du jack 6.35, donc les mini-jack ( les plus communs ) passerons pas, pense à prendre un adaptateur du coup de mini-jack -> jack J'ai l'intention d'essayer soon un autre casque, le 990 semi ouvert je crois quelque chose comme ça, je mettrais à jour d'ici là si j'y pense. En résumé ? T'a un casque 250 ohm ou moins ? Bah prend celle-là, t'emmerde pas à chercher plus, j'ai lu des forums et des forums pendant deux journées entière de mecs qui avait aussi cherché pendant des journées entières. Elle fait le taf de fou celle là. 1.0 out of 5 stars Might be good if it worked. Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 28, 2019 It's a nightmare to get working. Bought to replace an old Roland Quad Capture for better sound quality. Spent 3 hours trying to get t to work. Then called Focusrite support who weren't that. Left a message. By the next day they hadn't called back to called again. Spent 2 hours on support and eventually got it just about working. The management software is useless and very unintuitive. The Roland software runs rings around it. I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Catalina - Focusrite says it works fine with Catalina. No it doesn't. It doesn't show in the hardware or USB items. Called Focusrite again - nobody there, "leave a message". My message is, it's going back to Amazon. Thank goodness for Amazon's 30 day returns policy. I'm seriously struggling to see where all these 5 star reviews come from....mmm. 5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, good drivers... Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 17, 2019 I've used many audio interfaces, this is the first with decent ASIO drivers that just work. I've finally been able to ditch ASIO4ALL. On PC latency is 5ms with a buffer at 64. Buy this. The cheap interfaces are cheap for a reason. This isn't. It's great. EDIT:- After some heavy use, still working quite happily on PC in Ableton, Cubase and Reaper.
