Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools | First

Product Information

Once you’ve got started with Ableton Live Lite or three months of Pro Tools Artist recording software (both included), the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of record-making studio tools from the biggest names in the business. The Focusrite Control software allows you to set up main global device parameters such as mixing and routing options, clock, and various inputs and assignable functions for Air mode. This interface is compact, buss-powered, and features two inputs — one for microphone and one for instrument — perfect for the on-the-go musician, vlogger or podcaster.

Converting your performance into digital audio and back again is the most important part of the recording process. Some audio interfaces will contain more or fewer I/Os, which makes them suit band recordings/multitrack better — but that’s really about it. The addition of the Pro Tools First (First Focusrite Creative Pack) adds to its functionality, providing you with the Pro Tools First software and 12 free plug-ins.

You’re well covered with the legendary MASSIVE from Native Instruments and XLN Audio®’s Addictive Keys. With its portable design the Scarlett 2i4 can be transported easily in a backpack or other carry case, allowing you to use your interface wherever you are. The 3rd gen Scarlett’s feature super-low latency lets you monitor with native plug-in effects in real-time. These, coupled with the high-level headphone output and flexible monitoring capability make Scarlett 2i4 ideal for digital DJs.

The Clarett Thunderbolt interfaces need a driver to work on Mac systems and this needs to be downloaded and installed separately to the Focusrite Control software.Features 4 mic inputs, 8 balanced line inputs, 4 balanced outputs, 2 high headroom instrument inputs, and 4 monitor outs for dual monitor speaker switching — another excellent choice for band practice or the hardware-centric producer.

Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer. Focusrite claims that the 3rd generation Scarlett interfaces are characterized by high gain values and low noise.
