Avevo una Scarlett 2i2 prima generazione sostituita poi con una Sound Blaster X-FI HD, poiché la sensazione era di avere un suono un po' troppo 'piatto' per i miei gusti, sorprendente ma non abbastanza, forse perché studiata principalmente per l'home recording. Successivamente mi decido a sostituire dopo due anni la X-FI con questa, non con poca paura, principalmente di tornare alla situazione della 1st gen e invece la sorpresa è stata tanta. Non solo perché non ho alcuna necessità di ritoccare l'audio con alcuna equalizzazione, ma soprattutto perché ho raggiunto livelli superiori alle mie aspettative e alle ultime due schede.
Premetto che ho delle M-Aduio BX5 D2, la utilizzo principalmente solo come DAC, quindi per ascolto di musica su Spotify e vi garantisco che mai acquisto è stato piu azzeccato, questa scheda è un vero portento. Rispetto alla 2i2 1st gen ed alla X-FI HD non c'è assolutamente paragone, la qualità audio in uscita è davvero notevole!
Tengo a specificare ciò perché prima dell'acquisto non sono mai riuscito a trovare informazioni per questo genere di utilizzi dato che, chi compra questa scheda, lo fa generalmente per registrazione e quindi per l'input. Nonostante i consigli chiesti in giro nei forum nessuno si è mai degnato di consigliarmi una scarlett come dac, non saprei dirvi il motivo, viene proprio ignorata. Ho ricevuto consigli di tanti altri prodotti che non conosco ma, secondo la mia idea, questo prodotto vale molto piu di quello che costa, lo posizionerei tranquillamente su articoli di fasce di prezzo superiori.
E' davvero sorprendente come non sia assolutamente necessaria alcuna miglioria, equalizzazione dell'audio o software esterni, per godere di una dinamica tanto brillante e corposa.
Io penso di essere stato chiaro e spero di essere riuscito a trasmettervi ciò che provo e se siete indecisi compratela proprio ad occhi chiusi, specie se, come me, cercate un dac per ascoltare musica.

Nella recensione cercherò di evitare termini tecnici, in modo che sia fruibile dal maggior numero possibile di persone. Si tratta di un'interfaccia audio con presa USB C. Avete due entrate fisiche e due uscite fisiche, che dialogano con il computer (PC o Mac) via USB. In pratica potete riprodurre dai due line out un qualsiasi mix del suono proveniente dal computer e dei suoni provenienti dalle due entrate. C'è un'uscita per la cuffia dove il suono in uscita viene replicato.
I due ingressi non sono flessibili, uno è riservato ad un microfono (con phantom 48v opzionale) ed il secondo ad uno strumento. Se volete usare in ingresso ad esempio una tastiera stereo, allora dovete prendere il 2i2 che costa un po' di più.
Le tipiche applicazioni sono: registrare i due canali in entrata sul computer, oppure mixare i suoni digitali del computer (siano essi basi o suoni prodotti da una tastiera collegata al computer) con i due ingressi e mandarli alle uscite.
I punti positivi sono: latenza zero o quasi (ovvero tra i suoni del computer e i suoni in input non si percepisce nessun ritardo, che in teoria potrebbe esserci perché i primi devono essere convertiti in analogico). Alimentazione direttamente dal computer, quindi niente alimentatori addizionali. Prezzo ragionevole, le funzionalità sono limitate ma se vi bastano la qualità del suono è notevole.
C'è del software in bundle interessante, ovvero Ableton live lite e una versione ridotta di Pro Tools, più un suono di pianoforte. Onestamente io non li ho scaricati perché utilizzo Mainstage 3 su Mac, diciamo che se avete voglia di cimentarvi con looping dal vivo o mixaggi queste versioni vanno bene per impratichirvi con le interfacce. Se la cosa diventa seria ad un certo punto cozzerete contro le limitazioni del software, a questo punto dovrete prendere il software completo, ma di solito provenendo dalle versioni limitate si ha un buono sconto nell'acquisto del prodotto completo.
La procedura di installazione può essere un po' macchinosa, se non si installa il control center di focuswrite lo scarlett funziona solo a 48Khz, e non si ha accesso alle opzioni avanzate. Seguite le istruzioni e non dovreste avere problemi.

Direct monitoring feature does not work and I have had loads of sound monitoring problems. The drivers are confusing my DAW and I had to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get this thing to work. Very annoying to use when you consider how simplistic this device is. All it does is: sound in for recording, sound out for playback, yet they have screwed this up and made it into the most complex puzzle in the history of the world. Sound engineers must be the dumbest type of engineer that exists.

A lot of people are giving negative reviews about this preamp which only reflects inexperience with working with this level of equipment.
I read the reviews, and they seemed to range from (outstanding) from sound engineers to (poor quality) from home theatre and recording artists, so I thought I would take a moment to explain the results of my own research.
I've used it with a Sure SM7B and Audio-Technica Mic Headset and done extensive testing in both cases to ensure the best possible signal quality.
If you plug your microphone into it and plug it into your computer.. leaving the rest up to the mic and the computer you probably won't be happy with the results. I won't say you can't hear it or even that it sounds bad but it will not likely be good. I do live broadcasting and have some experience with this so over time I have learned how to fix these problems.
- The sound level from these dynamic devices is very low and so the sound level into this amp is very low and you are forced to crank-up the gain to try and remedy the situation.
- Cranking up the gain increases the volume but at the expense of sound quality, you get a very poor signal-to-noise ratio
- You may think you need a better mic or amplifier but what you actually need is a better signal going to the amp
- You need a Cloudlifter CL-1 going between your mic and this preamp
- Use Mogammi studio cables on all connections in and out of the CL-1 right up to the preamp (Ouch! they are expensive)
- You need Phantom Power in to the CL-1 that isolates it from the mic
This combination will provide you with the best sound possible. There might be an easier/cheaper way to get studio quality sound but if there is, I don't know it.

This is the hands-down audio interface I have used. I do professional voice overs, and people can't tell the difference from when I used to use a $2,500 pre-amp, to this much cheaper and affordable one.
It is capable of processing the 192,000Hz signal that my microphone provides, and it encodes it in lighting speed via the thunderbolt port into audacity with little to no latency issues.
The only changes I wish this had, was the XLR and monitor jacks were on the back, but it still works great having them on the front.
I strongly recommend this, over any other one no matter what the cost.
Shipping was a day sooner than expected, and everything was in-tact.

Really excellent sound quality and great features such as quick access to direct monitoring that make recording a pleasure.
The drivers are great for low latency work - I can get 0.4ms with minimum buffer size and it still only uses about 5% CPU (i5 8600k @ 4.8GHz)
I have had a couple of bluescreens when changing setting though, and it is the only time in the two years i've owned this PC that it has bluescreened, so there's something up with that but I'm not going to knock a star off; now I've got my settings dialled in I don't need to change them again.

I'm an IT professional and even I struggled to install the software.
My mistake was to plug in the Scarlett Solo to USB before installing the software.
DO NOT DO THIS because Windows will then search Windows Updates for drivers and then get into into mess which won't be solved when you go to install the downloaded Focusrite Control software and USB driver. That will hang for a very long time and maybe not complete at all.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the FocusRite Control software
2. Right click and Run as Administrator
3. Select either Full Installation or one of the specific USB/Thunderbolt options
4. Accept to install each of the the USB and/or Thunderbolt driver. This might seem to take a long time installing the drivers but leave it to get on with it.
5. Reboot your computer and wait for the Focusrite Control window to come up saying "Hardware Not Connected".
6. Now plus in the Scarlett Solo and WAIT while Windows goes off and searches Windows Updates. This may also seem to take a long time but be patient.
7. If all is well, Windows will come back saying device is ready, having linked the driver to your Solo and Focusrite Control will show the Solo configuration options.
8. Lastly, it is advisable to go to your Windows Playback Devices, and in the Properties of the Focusrite Usb Audio, go to the Advanced tab and untick the option to "Allow applications to take eclusive control of this device".
Having gone through this learning curve for a couple of hours, I'm very happy with the sound quality. The earth hum and other unwanted noises I was getting from my older 1st generation Scarlett is no longer present.

If you are doing home recording or wanting to collaborate with other musicians online then this is your starting point. I have tried a number of other interfaces and this is far better in terms of audio quality and simplicity of setup. It is a little more expensive than some but I would say it is well worth it.
The Scarlett Solo is Focusrite's entry level model but it hasn't made any compromises in the quality of construction or components used. It only has two inputs, microphone and instrument, but that is all that many people will ever need. Crucially, it uses the same Focusrite ASIO driver as the rest of the range and this is essential to achieve the low latency needed to make online collaboration possible. Having just returned five cheaper units from another well known manufacturer that stated similar spec and functionality to the Solo, I would strongly advise you to check what driver is supplied on the manufacturers support page. If it's the freeware ASIO4ALL do not waste your time. Whatever the advertised spec and branding, if the manufacturer does not provide their own driver the unit will not be optimised to achieve low latency and you will experience delay in your monitoring and recording.

This is my first negative review if I remember correctly.
Bought this for my Audio Technica AT2020 XLR.
From the first day I received this, my mic would end up sounding robotic or as if I was in a tube.
This was in discord and OBS for the record. This would happen regularly after a few hours of use.
I tried every fix under the sun, nothing helped.
Just googling 'focusrite scarlett solo mic distortion' will give you hundreds of results all with a similar issue to mine. This seems to be a driver issue/compatibility issue and its been a problem with focusrite products for years by the looks of things.
Eventually I gave up and opted to return it and get the komplete audio 1 which is £20 cheaper and for the past week as of writing this review has had no issues at all.
I would recommend against the scarlett solo. It looks and sounds great when it does work but within a few hours theres a good chance it'll just stop working.

I was stuck for ages on whether to choose the solo or the 2i2 model - that was when youtube videos really helped me decide if i needed the 2i2 or not. and the answer for me is 'no' - So the Solo was purchased. The most i will ever record at one time is a vocal and my electro acoustic guitar so the solo is perfect for me. The Solo was simple to set up, the focusrite software installed on my Mac with ease and i was in Garageband using the scarlett within minutes of having the box open. The functionality is everything I need - phantom power for my condensor mic, the 'air' preamp setting is also pretty nice and subtle so i am using it. i did fear it would be really harsh and not useable but i was pleasently suprised. the instrument input is also well deisgned with the selector for guitar or line in for example to boost the signal when needed. the light around the gain knob to signal peaking is also good to use; its not a db display, but for this price it is really useable. I love the ability to have direct monitoring on to reduce issues with latency. Just a great little red box with loads of opportunities!

Fazit am Ende!
Da ich schon seit Jahren singe und diverse Instrumente spiele, wollte ich mir endlich ein kleines Heimstudio einrichten. Beyerdynamic DT 990, Audio Technica AT2020, 48V-Phantomspeisung-Netzteil, eine Cubase-Lizenz bestellt und ab geht's...dachte ich.
Für die Audiowiedergabe selbst war das Mainboard gut genug (MSI B450 Pro Carbon mit ALC1220 Soundchip), die Aufnahmequalität war jedoch absolute Grütze. Für Sprache über Discord hat es zwar gereicht, beim Aufnehmen von Vocals für Lieder konnte man aber fast keinen Unterschied zwischen meinem vorherigen Aukey GD-G1, einem SM58, einem SM7B und meinem AT2020 feststellen, der Sound war wie von einem Schleier bedeckt, einfach schlecht.
Schließlich habe ich mich doch zusammengerissen und mir das Focusrite Scarlett Solo gekauft, das schon von vorneherein viele praktische Vorteile mit sich bringt:
- Mikrofonverstärker mit Phantomspeisung; vorher war es trotz Phantomspeisung und +30dB Verstärkung in Windows ziemlich leise
- zusätzlicher Klinken-Input für meine Gitarre; vorher musste ich immer zwischen Mikro und Instrument mit Adaptern umstecken
- analoge Regler; durch nichts zu ersetzen!
- Kopfhörerausgang mit ausreichend Power für meine DT 990, ein zusätzlicher Verstärker ist total überflüssig
Ausgepackt, angeschlossen, Treiber installiert (extrem einfach und hat auf Anhieb funktioniert). Es ist wirklich ein kompaktes Gerät mit hoher Verarbeitungsqualität, macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck.
Als ich dann Cubase geöffnet und meine Vocals nochmal eingespielt hab, nahm die Begeisterung kein Ende.
Die Qualität der Aufnahmen ist einfach ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht und ich fühlte mich ziemlich dumm, dass ich der Meinung war, dass der Soundchip auf dem Mainboard doch eh schon gut genug ist. Stimmen klingen jetzt sehr natürlich und klar und die Gitarre hat jetzt auch einen Klangkörper bekommen und klingt nicht mehr fad und langweilig.
Auch bei voll aufgedrehten Reglern sind kaum Verzerrungen und Rauschen zu hören, das Interface arbeitet auch bei Volllast sehr sauber.
Das einzige Manko für mich ist, dass das mitgelieferte Kabel mit 1m etwas zu kurz ist, um das Interface da zu positionieren, wo ich es gerne hätte, nämlich auf dem Schreibtisch.
Die Air-Funktion, die mit der 3. Generation des Scarlett eingeführt wurde, boostet die Höhen und Mitten etwas, um einen klareren Klang zu erzielen. Für mich bzw. für mein AT2020 ist diese Funktion aber eher uninteressant und verschlechtert den Klang, da es dann einfach künstlich wirkt.
Vielleicht hilfreich, wenn man ein eher dumpfes Mikrofon hat, wer diese Funktion allerdings nicht benötigt, sollte sich lieber ein paar Taler sparen und sich die 2. Generation des Scarlett kaufen, die technisch ansonsten der 3. Generation ziemlich gleicht.
Fazit:
- gute Optik und Haptik
- gute Audioqualität (sowohl beim Aufnehmen als auch beim Abspielen/Musik hören) mit quasi keiner Latenz
- alle notwendigen Features fürs Heimstudio in einem Gerät
- etwas kurzes Kabel mitgeliefert
- Air-Funktion nicht bei jedem Mikro hilfreich

I used it immediately to live stream to facebook and it was dead easy.. Plug in the USB cable to the PC let windows detect it and download the software.. then plugged in the guitar and headphones.. (I don't have a XLR capable mic). So plugged in my pedalboard Output lead into the Inst. input socket selected USB and pressed the DIRECT MONITOR button set the levels..Then did a live stream.. sound quality was excellent.. I then switched to my electro acoustic 12 string guitar and did another live stream.. again it sounded brilliant.. There's the option in Facebook Live to select it so the sound of your instrument comes out of your speakers too at same time as the headphone. I dare say it could be used live instead of a guitar amp if used with pedals .. then out to a PA or mixing desk.. Buy it if you're live streaming music.

This is the perfect audio interface to buy as your first one. I bought a pair of sennhesier HD6XX's and obviously I needed something to power them and honestly this interface has not disappointed.
It's able to have 192,000khz on both output and input so don't worry about it's capabilties. If you are on Windows then you will have to download the drivers before use but thankfully the drivers are really good and easy to use.
Plugging in both my mic and my headphones was simple and I recommend this interface fully, especially if you're new like me to this whole game.

Il pacco è arrivato nei tempi e nei modi previsti. Quando ho aperto la scaztole ero un po' preoccupato perchè non vedevo i codici dei software, ma una volta attaccato al computer la periferica (ho Windows 10) ha fatto tutta la configurazione, si è connesso al sito della Focusrite e mi ha chiesto quale programmi installare. Non sono un professionista, è la mia prima scheda audio usb, però posso dire che è davvero un buon prodotto. Ho registrato "live" voce e chitarra con ottimi risultati (microfono SHURE SM58 e chitarra acustica elettrificata), i due ingressi possono lavorare contemporaneamente.
Ho provato anche ad usare la periferica con Ubuntu 19.04 (periferica vista da sola senza alcun intervento da parte mia) registrando con Audacity, quindi anche in ambiente Ubuntu sembra funzionare bene.
Vorrei provarla con Windows 7 sul portatile, vi terrò aggiornati.

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface 99.40
I purchased the Focusrite mainly because i was having problems with the
Behringer UMC2o2HD and much of the annoyance of that interface was
a hiss which is constantly there no matter what is plugged In or unplugged other
than headphones or speakers.
I had read a mixed bag reviews on the Focusrite scarlet solo I thought I would get
one and compare the two for noise and then whichever one was the best I'd
keep one or the other.
Well it came out the Focusrite solo was the one I'd be returning mostly through
shear frustration that really the manufacturer has not done enough to make
this an easy install.,
Now I will say with all honesty that I may have had a duff unit so I'm not saying
that all the solo Focusrites will be a problem for everyone.
But having said that my particular unit i would be using this as an interface
for guitar and would be running this through not a Daw at the moment as I have
another interface running through a DAW in another studio and no problems with that set up at all.
So i was using an application JamVox 3 or Guitar Rig 5.
I downloaded the drivers and installed both drivers including the USB driver just in case.
I checked that this interface was combatable with My machine which is running Windows 8 64 bit which it stated it was.
So, after install as specified the USB light was lit up telling there was a sound connection, I checked and yes there was guitar and music, but the guitar sounded as though it wasn't connected to my applications jam vox or Guitar rig, the sound was still clean like its coming from a small amp a dry signal rubbish sound.
No matter what I did, deleted all drivers re downloaded drivers with unit not hooked up, then reconnected and as before all lights, the device is displayed in both my devices but sound as it was before.
This had cost me about three to four hours to get this to work but no luck.
My particular unit no I was not giving it anymore time and contacting the company was not going to help in my case, this unit had already wasted enough of my time an absolute pig’s ear to set up.
Maybe it was faulty, anyway unless the manufacturer was willing to give me another one to trial than this review really isn’t up to much in helping anyone to decide do they want to try their luck as there does seem to be a little confrontation with the Behringer UMC2o2HD but what has to be said about Behringer once you installed their driver their unit functioned as it should but have this hiss, but it is something I can take out of any final recording and at least I know the noise is not actually in the signal so it won't be bound to any guitar effect I use, but something I suppose I’ll live with until it really p me off or am unable to remove it.
Practically the Behringer worked out of the box.

Великолепно
They say good things come in small packages, where the Scarlett Solo is concerned, they are not wrong.
Up to now I've been recording by feeding output from my Xenyx mixer into the line in of my computer sound card and decided to risk buying a dedicated interface. I had seen a lot of the focusrite interfaces in use so, though not the cheapest interface by any means, I thought I'd opt for the Solo as I only really need a mic & gtr input.
After putting it through it's paces over the last couple of days, I am very impressed, the noise floor is so much better than I have been used to and even without and adjustment in my DAW (Reaper), the latency was pretty good. Did a quick loop-back test and set the latency to 'reported' plus 16 samples and it is spot on for everything, operating at 48K samples and a 128K buffer.
The direct monitoring is great, the build quality is rock solid and feels sturdy, the controls are smooth and feel "expensive". I now understand why these interfaces are so popular, you truly do get what you pay for.
I wasn't sure at first about leaving it plugged in, having no on/off switch, but having done a quick search it seems many people leave it on permanently with their system and some have done so for quite literally, years. Though given your on-board soundcard are permanently "on", it's only logical that it would not be an issue. One thing to mention, the USB connector on the cable isn't very clearly 'flat' on one side, if the cable doesn't go in smoothly all the way, you have it the wrong way around. That said, it's USB, so the '3 tries' rule applies anyway! ;-)
As regards setup, I'm not sure why people are having the issues described, it is super straight-forward and I was up and running in no time at all. Plug it in, it's seen as a 'drive', click on the URL mentioned in the quick start guide, follow the on-screen instructions. Once you have run the control software and your system is rebooted, it is seen in it's true form as an audio interface. Setup the required input/output in your DAW and job done.
You can set it up as your default audio for your system as well, I did not initially, but I have done now as I like having the headphone volume control.
Looking forward to more recording with this little beauty, very happy indeed.

So I've just setup a budget xlr microphone set up, pairing the Rode Podmic with this interface. It works and sounds great for YouTube videos, Streaming and podcasting. The struggle with podcasting is the fact it only has one xlr in, so if you want another guest in person, you're better going with a 2i2.
The drivers work fine and the build quality is a great premium, I'm not a fan of the red but I can live with it
