Product Information

Additionally, an EQ and compressor are offered with the Focusrite Red Plug-in Suite, a full channel strip offering an EQ, de-esser, compressor, limiter, gate, and expander with Bx_console Focusrite SC, and finally, two months with the Landr Studio mastering tools with five free masters to add the finishing touch to your projects.

Easy to setup and works well with another sound device too, so I can switch easily from using my Creative usb sound device or the Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 as the input or playback device for any applications on my computer. I've recently been frustrated with my Presonus 1824c which uses Universal Control - which seems notably less feature-laden than the Focusrite alternative.Transform your project, home, or professional studio set up to the next level, allowing you a best-in-class experience when producing, recording, and mixing. Eight of the best-performing mic preamps the Scarlett range has ever seen, now with switchable Air mode to give your recordings a brighter and more open sound.

What's special is that an optional Air mode can be added to reproduce the Air effect of the original ISA mic preamp, if required. I bought this to replace a first generation 2i2,which suffered problems with my guitar output level. Now included in the Hitmaker Expansion is the renowned MASSIVE synth from Native Instruments that will add drama and colossal synth sounds to your tracks through deep bass to sizzling leads. This reversible connection allows faster data transfer, easier connection and can be flipped – no more plugging in upside-down.I'm guessing this review is way off base and the reviewer didn't understand how to use the interface software. Housed in a 1U rack-mountable enclosure, the third-generation Scarlett 18i20 boasts extensive simultaneous I/O comprising eight mic preamps, 18 inputs and 20 outputs in total. The Scarlett 18i20 provides you with superior sound quality, talkback functionality, and onboard speaker switching.
