The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- It has automatic gain control and clipping prevention, which means you don't have to manually dial in levels perfectly on every take.
- The included software bundle is substantial, with Pro Tools Intro+, Ableton Live Lite, and various plugins, so you're not buying the interface and then immediately needing to spend more on recording software.
- The Air mode feature adds a particular character to vocals and guitars by boosting certain frequencies, which is useful if you want a specific sound but takes some learning to use well.
As of Aug 30, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB Audio Interface isn't at a good price yet at $224.99 — versus a $218.19 typical price and a $144.49 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
