Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen USB-C Audio Interface

My mind is blown. The sound quality is the best I've had from all my audio interfaces to date. The amount of free software you get with this also makes this a real no-brainer - my best purchase of the year so far!

I have used a number of Focusrite devices and have always gotten along fine with them. This little DI is an excellent device which sets up on Windows with no issues. Plug and play. Obviously you'll need to set up your DAW, but its painless and runs well using Cubase 13 Artist. The quality of the mic amps in particular are very good and to be honest, there's nothing that touches it in this price bracket. You loose out on the extra headphone out when compaired to earlier samples, but one is enough. The only thing I don't entirely like is the fact that the front two inputs are controlled by a single set of commands, which need to be assigned to what ever input your using and then adjusted. Personally I would like each input to have it's own set of controls, but that's a small issue and doesn't make for a four star product...... hence five stars.

I read so many reviews before finally opting for the focusrite 4-4. It was very easy to set up and quality of sound is excellent. Connectivity is excellent as is volume control, took me a while to adjust the latency settings in my mac to suit but got their in the end. delighted with my purchase and would highly recommend. Integrates well with Ableton and glad I opted for the additional inputs/outputs.

A+++

Looks amazing. Sounds amazing. Build quality is top-notch... But with one annoying little niggle: It doesn't have a power switch, so to turn it off you have to simply unplug the usb cable. Am I expecting too much to have a simple on/off switch? Anyway, that minor niggle aside, it's still a 5 star unit and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I have upgraded from a 2nd generation model and I have not been disappointed. I believe my new interface to be very close to the best in its class. There was a slight problem with the ‘Red’ plugins but eventually this was solved after interaction with Focusrite support. This might seem like a small issue until you realise firstly, how good these plugins are, and secondly, that every project in which you used them in the past may have been affected had the problem not been overcome. From now on I will bounce all my tracks with plugins to a seperate stereo track within my project. In this way, even if the plugins go missing, I will have recorded my original intention. I hope this helps.

I have no complaint about the product itself. It is solid, but still I'd like to highlight some issues I've encountered. Despite the info that it could work from USB-C itself, USB-C was not enough. Therefore I tried to use an adapter and was kind of shocked when I realised that the USB-C cable from the package does not fit the USB-C on the device. It simply goes in only halfway. So I could not fully realize that and spent a lot of time just to figure out that the adapter does not give power to the Scarlett.

I bought a Motu 4 and had nothing but problems since day one. I spent months making what felt like a thousand tweaks and fixes, everything recommended on the site and more, and I still had skipping every hour or two just playing Flacs! I gave up after a few months and bought this Focusrite 4i4. I plugged it in and it just worked. Never had to do anything and I've not had a SINGLE skip since buying it. Ableton performs much better too, I had a lot of crackling with the Motu even turning the buffer up. I will say that I've had a couple (literally two) occasions when changing sound sources (musicbee to youtube for example) that the sound became garbled and I had to click the sample rate to something different and back again, but that's it. I'm just glad it wasn't my brand new pc that was the source of all the problems and this made it all work.

Came all the way from Germany to Asia, and delivery is fast as well! Plug and play type of audio interface that is very well worth it's cost for starters, and also can be connected to a Desktop or Laptop to interface with things you know you need to. A definite good buy.

Thank you. I'm happy with this product

I was having issues with my gen 2-2i4 after upgrading my pc hardware and OS to windows 11. It would randomly and frequently stop working during studio workflow and gaming. After a week of troubleshooting, I concluded it was that the USB was unable to provide adequate power to the 2i4 and it would stop working. Whether this was a windows issue, or a usb driver issue, I wasn't sure. But I was certain it was a power delivery issue via the usb. I am a fan of the focusrite scarlett line of AD interfaces for the values they provide for the home studio musician and the podcaster/streamer. I did some research to find that the 4i4 4th gen comes with an external power supply for the unit, so I decided to buy it to see if it corrected the issue. The long and short of it... it did. I've been using the 4i4 for a week and haven't had a single issue. I use this unit for tracking my audio ideas at home to present at my pro studio. For what this unit offers, it's an extremely good value for your dollar. The converters sound excellent. Apparently theyre the same converters used in the focusrite rednet line, which is actually crazy. The addition of the "air", "drive" and "auto" feature is excellent. The "safe" feature is kind of useless unless you plan on recording during a bombing of your town or city. I'm hoping to get another 7 years out of this AD converter like I did with the 2nd gen 2i4. Props to focusrite for providing such an excellent product at such a reasonable price.

Is as advertised.
