Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB-C Audio Interface

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen has been great to use for both recording and music production. It's truly plug and play-setup was quick and painless, and it worked immediately with my system without any issues. Audio quality is solid, with clean input and low noise, making it easy to get good recordings without a lot of extra tweaking. Another nice bonus is the bundle of free plugins and music tools that come with the interface, which adds real value, especially if you're just getting started. It's compact, portable, and well-built, making it easy to take on the go. For the price, it's definitely worth it if you need a reliable, decent-quality audio interface without spending a lot.

A great audio interface! It's super easy to set up and offers some customisation through its various modes. There is next to no audio latency, and it's super easy to move around - making it perfect for a home studio! It's definitely worth it for anyone looking to get serious about voice-over and recordings in general!

My first ever audio interface. I've started to dabble with music and was using a RCA 3.5 mm straight out of my Mac into my Audioengine speakers. I have a piano, a guitar and a microphone and wanted to start to take sound more seriously and get these instruments and mic connected to my computer in a "proper" way. So an audio interface is needed. I bought the Scarlett Solo 4th gen. I do not think at my stage I need any more inputs. I was initially looking at much more expensive audio interfaces such as the Antelope models that are upwards of £700. But so many people recommend the Scarlet for beginners for the superb build and sound quality. I picked this up in Dec 2023 when it was on offer for £81. It is absolutely superb and easy to use. The sound quality now that I connect my amplifier directly to the Scarlett is amazing. I can also play my guitar and piano through this either through the speakers or via my headphones to save annoying everyone in the house! I really do not know what spending much more money would deliver. Maybe more features but for someone with modest needs like me the Scarlett is more than capable. Build quality is very good and it is a very attractive in a red metal and is built to last. It is small and discrete. Some of these audio interfaces are big and bulky, but not the Scarlett. Simplicity itself to connect it up on my Mac. Just go to Settings>Sounds and then select the Scarlet which automatically gets added to the list of devices. No need for messing about with drivers etc. I was a bit surprised that upon delivery it was quite lightly packaged. But it arrived perfectly sound. Delighted with it!

It's okay. I use this Solo 4th gen to run my Electro Voice RE320 microphone (which more sensitive than the RE20 and SM7B), and I did need some extra pre-amp gain (which can be found using devices like a Fethead, Cloudlifter, or what I got a SubZero MB1). After solving this issue however I can now comfortably run with the interface at about 50% volume for the microphone and it sounds great/hits the 6-12db range for speech without being too noisy. Where my complaint comes from is that I tried to run 80 Ohm (DT770) headphones via the interface at the same time as the microphone, and it lead to a couple of issues. At first, I heard some popping in the headphones audio which I resolved by making the buffer larger for the interface and disabling a driver that was causing latency (Elgato Camera Hub driver). This worked, but then I had people tell me that my microphone output sometimes had a robotic sound to it for short periods of time. It didn't matter what buffer size I used, it kept happening. I ended up having to use my prior headphone amp separately to avoid this issue. I tried different USB ports, power cycling, safe mode for the buffer on and off, nothing worked. I looked up solutions online and couldn't find anything which is unfortunate. Not a problem for me, but if you're planning on having this as a mic in audio out then keep this in mind!

Easy to set up, comprehensive list instructions online, including loads of videos. The sound quality is good. Keeps the tone with no unwanted distortion or clipping. Well worth £109. Only gripe is the connecting cable supplied isn’t only USBC on one end so you’ll need an adapter for your MacBook. If you go to my website at simoneyre.uk then go to Bonus Content and play song 9 (Renegade) or 10 (Hold my Beer) which were recorded using this kit. Would buy again.

Take your time and read the manual

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen is a fantastic audio interface. The quality is good, providing clear and professional sound for both instruments and vocals.

The construction is beautiful and robust, with a nice finish that makes it look great on any desk. This is a reliable, high-performing interface and a definite 5-star product for home recording.

Great audio interface

my life quality has increased

neyse o geldi hic bir sorun yok.

録音はしていません。ヘッドフォンアウトだけの話ですが、思っていた以上に良いです。 オーディオインターフェースは他にSteinbergのCl1、URX22C等を試しましたが、Scarlettが一番クリアに感じます。 URX22Cの方が若干空間の奥行は感じやすいような気もしましたが、もう手放しているので試せない＆印象としてこちらの方がクリアさみたいなものは感じていました。 しっかりクリアでノイズは一切なく、余計な色付けや主張もしていないように感じます。 これを買ってから、「もっと良い音を」と思ってFiioのk13R2R（5万円）を購入しましたが、違いこそあれど「あれ？Scarlettの方がいいんじゃ…」って事がちょいちょいあります。 DT990PRO(250Ω)、K240Mk2、T3-01、MDR-MV1を使って、k13R2R側の設定をGAINを変えてみたり、OSモードとNOSモードを切り替えてみたり色々やってみましたが、自分の好みとしては正直Scarlettの方が気持ちいいシーンが多かったです。 ■k13R2Rの個人的感想（ScarlettSolo4thと比較した場合） ・左右の空間の広がりが微増 ・どのヘッドホンを使っても、高域の解像度と音量が微増 ・20hz～40hzくらいの超低域に微妙な、若干の広がり感 どれもプラシーボか？？ってくらいの差ですが、明確にその微妙な差を感じます。 その上で、ScarlettSoloの方が大体何を聴いても聴きやすいというか、耳心地が良い気がします。 超低域をしっかり含むバスドラムの、タイト目に鼓膜の振動を感じるキレなんかが、Scarlettは気持ちいい。 k13R2Rでもそれは感じるけど、Scarlettの方が良くも悪くもその超低域が左右に揺れずど真ん中に居て感じやすいのかも。かつ、超高域も私の耳には適度で、分離感や粒感、明瞭さや定位の良さみたいなものは維持しつつも、ドライになりすぎず、音楽的でノリが良い感じがします。（主にMV1が好きで使っています） 結局自分の耳や好みとの相性だと思いますが、とりあえずめちゃくちゃ良い物だと思います。 DT990PROは250Ωですが、私の耳で感じる範囲では十分鳴らせてます。 性能を100%活かせているかはわかりませんが。もっとインピーダンスの高いヘッドホンを鳴らしたい方はヘッドホンアンプを買った方が良いかもしれません。

Muy buena opción para quienes quieren empezar con la edición de audio, puedes adquirir todo el software necesario para comenzar a grabar desde tu computadora, muy satisfecho con mi compra

It’s Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th gen, one of the best in the market, I am using Edifier MR5 and the sound changed drastically. It’s worth the money, it’s something that you will keep for years.
