The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The interface has a mic preamp with phantom power for condenser mics, a dedicated guitar input, and headphone output with its own volume control, so you can monitor while recording without latency issues.
- It includes a full software bundle with Pro Tools Artist, Ableton Live Lite, and various plugins like Auto-Tune Access and a Marshall amp simulator, which would normally cost extra.
- The compact size and USB-C connection make it portable enough to work with an iPad, though you're limited to two inputs total, so you can't record a full band at once.
As of Sep 1, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Interface with is a good price at $159.99 — versus a $153.28 typical price and a $109 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
