Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface, for the Guitarist, Vocalist, or Producer — High-Fidelity, Studio Quality Recording, and All the Software You Need to Record

Works Great
I already had the 2i2 from the last generation that did everything I needed it to do, except loopback. So when I found out this generation had the loopback feature, I bought the most basic model bc that’s all I really needed. I can hookup a mic or a guitar, and currently I will not have a need to use both at the same time *and* use the loopback feature. I can easily switch back to the 2i2 I still own if I need to record from a mic and a guitar.These are great audio interfaces at reasonable prices.

Works well with some minor flaws
Pros:- Decent preamp that makes it possible to use Shure SM7B without issue. You can ignore advice to buy a separate pre-amp unless you find it absolutely necessary.- Easy to turn and good looking knobs to manage gain for different inputs (instrument + microphone) and volume for different outputs (speakers + headphones)- Looks nice and premium on your desk- Great value. Supports 1 instrument, 1 microphone, 1 set of headphones, and 1 set of speakers.- Support for Phantom Power- Direct monitoring feels like there is no latencyCons:- Direct monitoring is too quiet- Included software is too minimal. You can see your audio levels and virtually adjust gain.- Doesn’t work out-of-the box with some software because each input source might be treated as an individual channel. You might only hear vocals out of one ear unless your software supports configuring this.- Inputs have excess noise when set to a relatively high gain. This is to be expected, but it’s not mitigated.

Simple and clean
This is a great audio interface. Paired with a Cloudlifter and Shure SM7B, the sound is crisp and clean with a very low noise floor.

Does what it says on the tin.
Simple interface. Solid physical build quality, knobs, lit text on the front panel. I have used it both with and without the driver and interface software on both a Mac and a Windows 11 machine. All the fundamental functions worked – I can’t speak for any of the extended features. I did need to set the input to mono on computer to get audio from the one microphone input on both stereo channels, which is an expected behavior given this is a stereo two-channel unit. Thanks!

recommend it if you have a good quality mic and/or headset..the quality of the music when i listen to it with some dt990 pro is amazing (louder/better quality) not as much bass and foot sound for FPS then a sound care with scout mode but still very good.. i have a creative soundblaster z soundcard and i liked the sound but this thing work 1 out of 10 times for me and my friend who had the soundblaster x. soo RIP this brand I went for the focusrite and i work absolutely fine.i have the mv7 xlr plug in, very good setup. didnt hear an improvement towards the sound because the mv7 plug’D with the usb C on your pc already does an amazing job + you can only use the shurePlus motiv software only with the usb c plug in. But even plug with the xlr directly in the solo, had nothing to do and still get the amazing sound quality with very low background noise

Acheté pour enregistrer ma basse sur mon ordinateur. Pour peu que l’ordinateur soit assez puissant et optimisé pour minimiser la latence et que la simulation d’ampli utilisé avec est de qualité… et bien, ça fonctionne parfaitement, du moins pour mes besoins. J’en suis très satisfait.
