The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The included software bundle is substantial. You get Pro Tools Intro+, Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, and a collection of plugins including Auto-Tune Access and a Marshall amp simulator, so you're not buying software separately.
- The Air mode is designed to add presence and character to vocals and guitars by mimicking how a professional studio console colors the sound, which can help your recordings sit better in a mix.
- It's a single-channel interface, meaning you can only record one instrument at a time. If you need to record multiple sources simultaneously, you'd need a different model.
As of Aug 15, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface is overpriced at $159.99 — versus a $150.37 typical price and a $108.93 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
