Щипцы Scarlett SC-HS60500/HS60699/HS60700 — 252 отзывов, плюсы и минусы

 I received this audio interface for Christmas and I've been very happy with it. The build quality is top notch and it's packed with features. I was using the 2i2 (2nd Gen) and decided to upgrade to this because of it's MIDI capabilities. I thought using the Focusrite Control software would annoy me compared to the physical switches, but it's actually very intuitive and I now prefer it over the physical switches. It's also nice that the interface automatically recognizes whether a line or instrument is plugged in, so I don't miss the physical switches at all. The gain is cleaner than my 2i2 was and the 4i4 does a decent job of pushing the Shure SM7B microphone. Highly recommend!

I saw that this interface was high on a lot of top 10 lists for audio interfaces so thought I would give it a chance, and it was the worst audio-related mistake I've ever made. When it works, it works fine. However it's the most unreliable piece of garbage I've ever owned.

First of all, it needs its own service running in Windows. I've been recording for over 10 years and owned 5+ audio interfaces and not a single other product has ever needed that. The biggest problem with this garbage is its constant cutouts. I think just about anyone with studio monitors is also using them as their general PC speakers, and that's how my PC is set up. I can't get through 10 minutes without this trash giving up and having to unplug and replug it to get it working again.

I contacted their tech support with this problem and the support they offered was laughable. First off, god help you if you don't have an available USB 2.0 port. Yes, you read that right. In 2020 this product does not work with USB 3.0. So good look finding a motherboard that even has USB 2.0 ports. I found 2 in the early months of 2020. That's right, only 2 motherboards that had even a single USB 2.0 port.

Long story short, just go with any other interface that has the number of inputs/outputs that you need. They're all pretty much the same, and this one somehow failed it's most basic purpose in "works most of the time". Stay away.

I have owned the product for about 6 months as of writing this review. When it works, it does exactly what I would want it to do. But, about 6-10 times per day (I use this setup for about 8 hours every night) it will cut off both microphone and speakers AND distorts my microphone into static. I have been trying to resolve the issue on my own searching all over every audio forum I can find, reddit, youtube, everything. I have fiddled with the windows settings including the bit rates, default sound devices (this is literally the only ones I have other than 2 of my monitors both of which are hard disabled), and redownloading and installing the drivers several times. I cannot get it to stop with these issues. I have gotten it to decline in the amount as when it first started occurring it happened roughly 5 times per hour I used it. But it seems like what I have done so fair has helped only mildly. I still investigate this on a weekly basis as I generally use it as an audio interface for my Rode NT1A and for gaming/streaming which is literally every single day. The only way I can get it to reset after it bugs out is literally pulling the USB-C power cable and hard rebooting it. After it will usually be good for about an hour and then starts to bug out again.

I bought this for the direct USB interface only. I've experience with Focusrite's bigger interfaces and felt this was a good deal and no more than I needed to get guitar into DAW. Amazon listing touted all sorts of freebies:

"Includes Pro Tools | first Focusrite creative pack, Ableton Live Lite, Softube time and tone bundle, focusrite’s Red plug-in Suite, 3-month splice subscription, and your choice of one free XLN Addictive keys virtual instrument, All available via download upon purchase and registration - Limited time offer: free ujam virtual guitarist Iron plug-in upon registration and download"

Registered online and got nothing about free downloads, etc. Nothing in the box, but interface, USB cable and safety notice. Not sure if ripped off by Amazon, wouldn't surprise me, or by Focusrite.

Good luck with this product if you're planning on using it with a Windows 10 computer. You'll need it.

We tried some suggested changes with Windows settings but to no avail. Why again should you have to change Windows settings to get a product to work? Forget it. I'm not a big Windows 10 fan, but if the product isn't going to work with this operating system then the seller should clearly state that.

The worst thing about this device, which is a huge problem only with the gen 3 it seems is the drivers for windows they are horrid and have done nothing but cause issues with my Scarlett, the only problem is that the drivers are kinda needed for this device. It was causing my mic to randomly go static and it was completely random the same cable and mic used on a behringer uphoria um-2 had never had this issue which is why I’m just gonna save my self the trouble and go switch back to that. I have friends that have had no issues with the Scarletts and was recommended it from them but due to the fact that it makes my mic go from static and sometimes robotic randomly only when the Scarlett drivers are installed from the official website I’m gonna have to pass on this. Bewarned before buying the gen 3 and try and get the gen 2 if possible cause the drivers for the gen 2 are way better and don’t seem to have these issues

REVISED REVIEW:

I'm an easy customer. The thing works, I'm happy. Thing doesn't work, I'm unhappy. The Focusrite worked out of the box (YAY!). Then it has issues (BOO!). Then I resolved said issues (YAY!). Now it works as expected.

Has this device been a walk in the park? No, not really. There are some tweaks you need to make to your computer (See Update 7/7/2020 & 8/21/2020).

With that said, I have been using my Focusrite LITERALLY every day. I have a Rode NT1 attached and I use that for video conferencing, recording vocals for my band GreyHalo, for podcasts, and for playing only D&D with family and friends. It's been a huge asset in this online life, and I have to say .. I'm happy I got this.

While I originally said I would hard pass in the future, I've decided I LIKE my Focusrite 2i2. It's nor perfect, but from what I've read on other audio interfaces, nothing is. My son has a PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 2x2 USB Audio Interface and we've had to do some tweaking to his laptop to get it to work as expected. I realize that it's impossible for any company to know how everyone's computer will work with their hardware.

So would I recommend this again? Yes, yes I would. And in fact, I have. And with that, I've also told them the tweaks I've made and how to do it so they can get faster results.

I still have latency in my DAW of choice (Reaper), but that's something I'll have to resolve in the DAW. Not Focusrite's fault. But I've used some pretty hoity-toity VST/VSTi with this Focusrite 2i2 and it's handled everything like a champ. I'm not disappointed one bit in my purchase. And in the future, when I need something beefer, you can be sure I'll look to Focusrite once more.

UPDATE 8/21/202:

OK! After scouring the interwebs, I think I found out the issue with crackling in certain software (Discord, Facebook video, Steam chats). It turns out most of those software requires a higher sample rate. I had my Focusrite set at 44100, which was the default that the audio interface started at. HOWEVER, if you put it at 48000 with a buffer size of 192 then the crackling is gone and you can use any software as excepted.

UPDATE 7/7/2020:
After finally getting through to customer support (took some time) I have finally fixed the issue. It's actually a USB issue. Windows has a feature that puts USB devices to sleep, and for some reason does not see the audio interface as an active device even if it's being used. Which is weird and frustrating. Once I disabled the option it's not had any issues. The lack of star is because it took so blooming long for them to get back to me I almost abandoned all hope.

However, since I had it fixed I recorded several songs with no issues. Lord willing my music career will finally see some fruition.

Is it worth the purchase? For the price, yeah it's a decide device. I do wish I would have gotten the Presonus as it has midi in, but I think if you don't have a need for midi this is a solid device that should last a while.

ONE last issue. Latency. If I can use Guitar Rig with my guitar in real time that would be great. But I haven't figured out if that's because of my DAW (Reaper) or the device.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I'm going to start this off by saying I work in IT. I'm also not new to the recording world as I've used other products in the past. So I know my way around buffer sizes and sample.

With that said, I'm going to flat out say that this has been nothing but a pain in my neck. I bought the Scarlet 2i2 with the intention of recording voices for games and animation, as well as podcasts. Since the quarantine order, I've used it for video conferencing with work. And, it works. I have a Rode NT1 and everything sounds amazing.

HOWEVER, the driver will crash constantly. I'll be watching a video, and it will just stop working. I'll be in the middle of a conference call, and it will crash. It's crashed while recording a podcast. It's crashed while recording a video. It just .. crashes.

And the only thing I can do is force it to restart by changing the buffer size. Then it kicks back in and I'm good for a while.

It's beyond infuriating. There are no errors in the event log. All the drivers are up to date, as far as I know. Except the Focusrite website is always seems to be down. My computer is more than powerful enough to run this relatively simple device.

I really want to like this, and I really want to recommend these to my friends who also are looking for hardware for recording their own podcasts and videos and so on. In this time of isolation, people are looking for professional solutions to record good audio. This interface ... I'd do a hard pass.

When I first tried the 2i2 I was very frustrated with the terrible scratchy crackling sound on output (I hadn't even tried recording yet, just playback.) After a lot of googling I found the solution: DO NOT USE IT ON A USB 3 PORT. Hopefully your computer, like mine, also has USB2 ports. I was just about to return it when I found the solution.

Seriously, Focusrite: get your software to work with today's hardware! Bush league. It's a shame that with such excellent hardware they can't get their software quality higher.

The installation process on Windows is great, on the FIRST computer you install it on. It starts out looking to the computer like a USB memory stick; you click on the file the easy-installation instructions tell you to, and it holds your hand through the whole process. Really first rate.

However, if you need to install it on a second computer, you'd better have a clue. It's easy, just download the drivers from their website and then plug in the device, and do the usual plug-and-play dance. But the process is not documented, so you have to just figure that out yourself. (I have no idea how well it works if you just plug it in without installing the drivers first. Maybe it's a good experience, but I bet you get the usual "no known driver" experience.) Sadly, I could not find any way to turn it back into a "new" unit ("MSD mode" for Mass Storage Device.) No doubt there is one, for customer returns! But good luck finding it on the web or in Focusrite's documentation.

The feature set is really perfect for this type of device, and very intuitive for a beginner. The red/yellow/green LEDs that surround the input gain knobs are handy for seeing if your levels are too high. There's no documentation on what the dB level is for yellow, but I'll figure that out using my DAW.

Its 48v phantom power is a must-have for me, since condenser mics require it.

The zero-latency monitoring control is simple and straightforward: click once for mono, again for stereo (channel 1 -> left, channel 2 -> right), and again to turn off.

All controls have obvious indicators on the front panel, and it remembers the settings if you unplug and replug USB, reboot, etc.

It'd be 5 stars for sure, if it didn't fail so miserably on USB3 ports, especially with no indication that they're not supported.

To start, I rarely if never write negative reviews, and I probably have never given a one-star review since I have been an Amazon customer.

This is the second box that I have under a manufacturer's generous 3-years warranty. The problem is my first box (in this order) stopped working a month in. My second box, replaced under warranty stopped working a few months in. When it fails, the box is not recognized by any of my operating systems - Windows and IOS (iPhone and iPad) - and I have tried them over and over, exhausting the suggestions provided by Focusrite customer support. Focusrite customer support does get back to you but they do not have any answer for why this is happening. Cannot get it to work with any of my DAWs once the connection light goes out. And when it goes out it is permanent it seems. Customer support said they can replace with a third box but that they cannot refund money as I purchased through from Amazon and not through them.

In its place I instead bought the relatively new MOTU M2 and in comparison am very happy so far! But I am still left with a $250 Focusrite paperweight, that I guess I could continue to keep replacing until the warranty runs out. But that is hardly reliable and a good use of my time, as I never know when the box will quit.

Amazon needs to step up here it make it right, by refunding my purchase. Very unhappy, and I am truly sorry I went with Focusrite despite all of the glowing reviews.

It mostly works as intended, although it did spontaneously disconnect once. I read that it could be because of flakiness in USB power. Maybe the power draw is a little too high for smaller laptops. However, this disconnect only happened 1 time for me out of the several hours I used it, so YMMV.

The sound quality is about as good as a pre-amp can get. It's also unnecessary to pay this much for good sound. I traded this for a cheaper behringer HD after doing an actual scientific blind test using an XLR splitter from the same microphone: Sound quality is totally identical. There is simply no scientific evidence (blind a/b tests) to support the claim that high-end pre-amps will make a difference in sound, other than the super-expensive ones adding distortion which some might call "character".

I’m an indie artist, and for me to not simply use my iMac, alone, for everything is a step forward! This device has improved my sound immensely! I sound so professional. It’s easy to install, thanks to YouTube videos provided by the site. The Instructions Were clear and precise, ensuring I made no mistakes and I was up and running, literally in minutes.

I’m no techie, so to give specifics in numbers and all isn’t going to happen with me, but it is an amazing tool to have in a home studio. Or for me, my office.I have it paired with the NT1-A Rode microphone and my producer has sent me praises! So yes, this interface is a game changer.

Every now and then, I get a bit of static in my headphones when I turn the device on, but it does go away. I have. No idea why it happens, but it’s a great device for me as a first-time, indie artist looking to grow. Hope this helps!

I am disappointed! I read such fascinating reviews and didi enough web-research and determined this product a viable alternative to my larger, more complex and older MAC DI/USB input box. THE GOOD: I love the way it is built: is sturdy and just small enough to be usable and not to get in any ones way. THE BAD: Yes, I agree with other review regarding the rather tortuous method of installing the Pro Tools First app (which has a rather dated interface on the mac.) It did work decently. The problem is the audio both in the monitor jack (tried numerous headsets) and through the monitor speaker jack: it is almost non-existent and when it is there is is full of static and clipping even though nothing appears to be over-driven at any input. NOTE: Any application from Preview, Itunes to Pro Tools and Garagaband produce this terrible audio. I am running one of two macs (a 2015 iMAC running Mojave) and 2018 IMAC PRO 27.5 also running Mojave OS. Nothing matters. I returned this unit and took the 20 minutes extra setting up my 2008 USB interface and it work splendidly no drivers needed and NO updates needed (NOW THAT WAS A SURPRISE.)

Als Hobbymusiker bin ich von dem Scarlett hell begeistert. Sehr einfache Bedienung. In Verbindung mit dem Mikrofon kann ich selbst auf kleinstem Raum tolle Musik machen. Ich spiele laienhaft E-Gitarre und Bass als reines Hobby. Mit dem Scarlett und meinem Mac macht das richtig gute Laune.

Eig ist das ein super MIC top design musste aber leider feststellen das das mikrofon immerwiedermal kleine aussetzer hat was natürlich verherende auswirkungen auf qualität der aufnahmen hat .
Ich hoffe das ist nur ein einzelfall und wird eventl noch ausgetauscht dan gibts bei preis Leistung auch 5 strene

I would say it is okay, not perfect.. the price is kinda high compared to the quality.. the headphones are very bad quality and the mic is not what I expected it to be, it is not that good.. I watched some videos on YouTube from their channel and it sounded very good but once I tried it, it was not that good.. the only thing that I liked is the audio interface .. I liked the size of it and the quality... it is really easy to carry around..

Einfachste Installation am Mac, ordentliches Mikrofon, akzeptabler Kopfhörer. Auf Knopfdruck den "Air" Sound der Stimme, der eine gute Idee der analogen Focusrite Produkte und Mikrofon-Vorverstärker abgibt. Ich verwende das Produkt als Produktionseinheit für meinen Anrufbeantworter -kein Witz - weil ich mich schon immer über die schwache Qualität dieser Ansage geärgert habe. Mit Garage-Band (Narration Vokal) und dem Set passt alles super.

Nutzen das Set für unsere Video Aufnahmen im Hobbybereich. Tadellose Verarbeitung. Gerät lässt sich auf Win 10 sowie auf MacBook und iMac ohne Probleme installieren. Ganz großes Kino. Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Top Ton Qualität unverfälschte stimmwiedergabe perfekt für das streamen geeignet und ebenfalls in Kombination mit Musik Instrument nutzbar.

Geht aufjedenfall in Richtung professionell Ton Qualität.

Excellent 👍 for recording, easy to carry anywhere.

Genau wie ich es erwartet habe für dieses geld ein super produkt

Bin Hobby-Musiker, das Scarlett-Interface ist einfach zu bedienen, Aufnahmequalität o.k..
In Verbindung mit Magix Musicmaker schnelle Einarbeitung in die Technik.
Leider hat das Interface seinen Dienst aufgegeben. Kein Ausgangssignal auf externe Lautsprecher oder Kopfhörer.
Ich werde das Gerät morgen in die Amazon Niederlassung München senden und bin gespannt, wie lange die Reperatur oder ein Umtausch dauert.

Für Anfänger, Amateure und Profis ein super Werkzeug um großartig Musik machen zu können und das noch zu einem erstaunlich fairen Preis.

The fact that the product is so heavily dependent on software, it should be made easy for the user to set up the bundle (lots of unwanted headache) of software. There is no active support from Focusrite for this crucial first step.
First thing first: Focusrite has collaborated with AVID to provide the basic tool to use its hardware. After creating so many accounts ( 3 separate account is really too much. its not like I am accessing a nuclear power plant, you get the joke!!!) Now AVID has collaborated with iLok to protect its licence. So we have to talk about iLok.
iLok: First you have to install iLok manager to get to your licence. iLok manager will not launch if you are connecting through WiFi. There was no mention of this. I wasted 3 days to figure this out. They should specify what kind of modem you are suppose to use to use their overrated and needlessly complicated software.
Now comes the next hurdle which is the basic AVID (Pro tool first) software itself. Note: AVID has given this basic and trivial software which is basic and essential software to get started with Focusrite hardware has several catch. First it will not install easily and will start throwing every error in the book for which there is a question asked on the forum which are mostly unanswered. That means you will have to try finding the solution yourself or buy AVID support which is mindbogglingly expensive. I was installing it on my Sony Viao F series laptop with windows 7 home premium. After struggling for 3 more days, i found the solution that you should not use the AVID Pro Tool First .MSI file instead, you should use the EXE. Also AVID had set a trap by keeping the "Save to cloud" toggle always on and they have given room for only 3 recordings to be saved on cloud. So unknowingly when you create 3 projects, you cannot create a new one after that. The moment you try to find the solution for this, they will say Pro tool First is not applicable for support. This is disgusting. No wander its a trap set by AVID to upgrade to their expensive versions. So I was determined to overcome this hurdle too. By manipulating their own dumb software, I found the solution for this too. I will not disclose it here which they can use to plug it up and create trap for future customers who will have no clue that they will be dealing with AVID while they are under the impression that they are Focusrite customer. Meanwhile, all the communication with AVID and Focusrite was absolute waste of time.
Just because I had to spent so much on this product, I took it up as a challenge to get it up and running. Any body else without a software background would have promptly return the product. The hardware is fine but the software which comes with it is an absolute trap. A big thumbs down to AVID. The effect of this will of-course percolate to Focusrite as well.

I was slightly hesitant due to very mixed reviews, but I decided to be optimistic and it paid off!!
Out of the box took 20 mins to set up and that was due to the hardware. I decided not to make an account for the extras just yet as I just wanted to test the mic quality and I already had a copy of Ableton Live Lite.
I was slightly torn between the Scarlett Studio and just the Scarlett Solo and a sampson SAC01 Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone which would combined have cost about £130. Wow, let me tell you these headphones are super comfortable and the best sound quality I've ever experienced. The microphone is also the best my vocals have ever sounded. I really like the design of the hardware and the red accent. I thought the red mic cable was particularly snazzy as I also have the Akai Mini black with red accents. If you're dithering at this price point- it seems to be excellent value!! I don't know other people have had so much trouble but you basically plug and play. (Although I think you have to unplug the audio interface to actually install the software). I'll try the free extras later as I can imagine they cause some issues but those would be software issues- I can't fault the Scarlett Studio and I have a very good feeling this is going to be the best thing I've ever bought to have a creative outlet which sounds PRO!!!

I'm glad I bought the set, it is perfect for my music making! Prior to getting this I used my wireless gaming headphones, that was not a good choice.

Setting this up was pretty straight forward, I installed the software first then plugged this in. It worked straight away and had been almost flawless since.

The headphones provided give amazing and natural sound, through them I listened to my older music and started realising flaws in my mixing. With these my music has drastically improved now that I can hear frequencies with detail and natural depth. My only concern is that they don't feel as premium as they sound, they are not terrible in build quality, but I do worry I could break them easily.

The microphone gives amazing sound quality in my music software for vocals and stuff. It is very sensitive and picks up every little sound and detail with high clarity. My only issue is outside of my DAW the computer plays back microphone audio that stutters and I can't work out why. But in my DAW it works perfect!

As for the unit itself I love it. It is simple, has a solid metal case with simple to use controls. I think it is also very attractive. It uses a usb type c port on the back for power and to interface with the computer. This is good and bad, good because it's type c for great data transfer, this is needed to ensure high performance and sound quality with your software. It's kind of bad as it feels quite vulnerable to damage. This is not av problem though if like me you keep the unit stationary and have nothing behind it.

I'm very happy with this item, it has given me a much better appreciation for sound quality and has helped me make sure the music I make is cleanly and accurately mixed. Thanks to the microphone I can also add my vocals to my music and know they are represented with great detail. It has also prompted me to buy a proper high Res music player so I can enjoy the details I put into my music.

Delighted with the quality of headphones, microphone and Interface. Easy to use with lots of information available. Comes with software and video instructions for quick setup.
Early days as I am a beginner with music production, but seems an excellent product for the price.

3 stars probably isn't fair, as I am reserving judgement on the Scarlett itself. It seems to do what it's supposed to, but my first impressions have been clouded by wasting so much time trying to get the Pro Tools First software to work.

This version of the software DOES NOT support macOS Catalina. This is not mentioned during installation, nor during the installation of the super-paranoid license manager thing you have to install (to activate a piece of free software, for some reason). Oh it's a rigmarole of an install... then it launches and just hangs. Eventually I found online that although "proper" Pro Tools has been updated for current Mac OS, Pro Tools First has not.

This looks bad for Focusrite, because they're recommending we use something that's broken, and it looks bad for Pro Tools because we got sucked into trying a garbage demo that makes it look like they don't update their products.

I guess I'll stick to Garageband. I was just excited to try Pro Tools as I'd recently spent (wasted...) some time watching YouTube videos on how to record and mix with it.

This is a fantastic set, the Audio interface is known for its cost to quality ratio and is probably the best you can get for 1 to 2 inputs, the Mic seems very good, especially for podcasting - clean and good pickups (you will definitely need a pop filter though) the headphones sounds crisp and linear, although they are more on than over the Ear so they have taken a little longer to soften and do have some sound leakage. The interface itself does what it should good range of knobs and buttons to get you running quickly. While it doesn’t have a dedicated input bar for levelling the dial halos do a good enough job to get your kit all levelled correctly. The biggest gripe which ironically is also a plus is the audio software suite, it’s a solid selection but because of so many different sources, you bounce around setting accounts on multiple websites and downloading from many places. Would have been nicer if they could have packaged them into one. But it is a small gripe and just means an extra 30min setup time if you want all the extras.

The sound card itself is awesome. The universal input allows for a plethora of cables. Microphone is pretty standard and the headphones unfortunately leave a lot to be desired. I have experienced cracking and sound dropout,
BUT... Reviewing this as the KIT itself, good value for money and great to get anyone off the ground with recording in their home studio.
I’d recommend the soundcard everyday, the kit including headphones and microphone not so much.
If you’re serious, I’d buy the sound card alone, and then purchase some much higher quality headphones and microphones.
I’ve recorded a few tracks that sound very professional. I’d recommend this to any budding recording amateur artist.

To be honest - I was doubtful about purchasing this kit but I have been pleasantly surprised. The kit is easy to use and is an excellent sound quality and build. The software in the package is easy to use if you follow the full support you get included on the Focusrite website. Great little mic, good quality headphones and nice interface unit. The recording quality is in excess of what I had expected. The only small problem is that the DAW (AVID Pro Tools) is a 'lite' version which, although easy to use, only allows you to have 3 projects at one. For anyone starting out on using a digital studio - this is an excellent entry level starter pack. Recommended.

Cracking piece of kit, solid build (anodized aluminium casing) easy to set up, and plenty of tutorials out there to help you do what you need to do to get the best out of it.
Still finding my way round what I can actually do with it, but I created a short, random mix (rock style bass and drums) within the first hour (this includes the set up time too by the way!!)
I am using the Bundled Ableton software which I am still finding my way through the plethora of effects/instruments/loops etc. I have tried the pro tools software too but i doesn't seem as intuitive (to me anyway).
I will update as my learning curve allows

Works exactly as described by all online reviews and so damn easy to set up. I was in a recording band but never dabbled in self recording until now and it was so easy which with learning new tech so late was precisely what I needed to feel comfortable to jump back into creating my own music again of which I post a new song once a week since the year began

Very Bad product, Left side of headphone not working,microphome is also not working ,i have applied to return product which is still pending.

Fantastic product. Really improves the quality of signal for home studio recording. Very easy to install and set-up, although does take some time to do all the on-line registrations. Includes home studio software if you don't already have it. Very happy!

Bought this product so I could experience good audio and while it was great the headset was very uncomfortable being used to over-ear headsets. The microphone wasn't much of an improvement from what I had previously which was the blue snowball which is good for what I do. Very much worth it if you don't already have headphones and a mic but the DAC provides amazing audio quality through the headset provided but it was very uncomfortable to wear and my old headset (artics 3) was miles ahead in comfort.

I was debating between getting this bundle or the HyperX Quadcast mic and I'm glad I went with this.
The whole thing was nice and easy to set up, the Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen has a nice solid feel to it with easy to understand knobs with light rings to show audio clipping, the mic has some nice weight to it and sound from it is nice and clear.
The only downside with this bundle for me is the headphones, the ear cups are to small my ears and end up with earache after an hour or two of wearing them but the sound from them are pretty good.
If your looking to move away from USB to XLR mic this is a good bundle to start with.

daughter was pleased with product, she is only 15 and managed to set it up all by herself. Uses both piano and MIC to record

So easy to install neat compact and really clear sound into the PC. Ideal for recording music or for your youtube video voice overs. I'm sure other brands are just as good, but I am more than happy with the microphone headphones and box of tricks.

The supposed free software that comes with it does not work. We contacted Avid and they point blank refused to help as this was a ‘free’ software offer!! So basically this so called free software offer is a scam!! Not happy at all...

Really happy with the Solo Studio. Easy to use and sounds great.
I had problems with the Pro Tools software and on research, so did quite a few others, but that’s nothing to do with the hardware, just some issues with Pro tools itself. I’d therefore recommend going for the other option in the software package that comes with it or using existing software you already have. That’s just my personal experience.
Overall, extremely happy with this product.

First class sound quality, I’m so pleased with this. Their tech support is second-to-none.
My only frustration is that the bundled software (Avid) turned out to be incomparable with the latest Apple software on my MacBook Pro, so do check that - as I should have done. Fortunately, the Ableton Live software works for me.

Was gift for musical friend. She’s been having lots of fun with it. 😉

Great all rounder, easy to use and sonny’s great.

This works superbly well. The sound quality is high and the condenser microphone that comes with it is great for vocals or instruments. Some handy plugins and access to software too. Was really pleased overall.

Thnaks

Really great and great service, though I'd recommend only buying this if you already have a daw you can't get buy on what the give you.

Hubby absolutely over the moon all as described on line thank you

Great for music as a hobby, or as a starter kit. Perfect to start
