The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- It comes loaded with recording software including Pro Tools Intro, Ableton Live Lite, and Cubase LE, so you can start recording right away without buying anything else.
- The four microphone preamps have 69dB of gain and include automatic level control features that prevent clipping, which means less time fiddling with settings and more time actually recording.
- You get a lot of connectivity options here, including ADAT and S/PDIF digital inputs, MIDI I/O, and multiple line inputs, so you can integrate external hardware and effects into your setup.
As of Aug 15, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 4th Gen USB Audio Interface isn't at a good price yet at $549.99 — versus a $533.98 typical price and a $409.94 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
