Description

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen is aimed at beginner and intermediate musicians looking for a USB sound card with more features than the Scarlett Solo 4th Gen. The sound card features two microphone inputs, as well as two audio outputs. This allows users to connect more instruments or speakers in their studio or home.

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen is particularly suitable for users who want to record music with more than one audio source, such as two vocals, two instruments, or a combination of these. It is also a good choice for users who want to use the Focusrite Scarlett Plug-in Suite, which includes a range of add-ons that can enhance the audio quality of their recordings.


Two Hi-Z guitar inputs that resemble an amplifier

The Hi-Z instrument inputs, just like you would find on an amplifier, make guitars sound great for DI and amp simulations. Two high-quality line inputs capture all the character of your synthesizers and keyboards.

Let the 2i2 handle your levels

The Auto Gain function adjusts the levels and the Clip Safe function keeps them at the ideal point, automatically adjusting the gain if you are at risk of clipping. You will never miss a shot again.

Get big console sound with two redesigned Air functions: Presence and the all-new Harmonic Drive.

All the software you need to make a successful record

Once you get started with Ableton Live Lite or three months of Pro Tools Artist recording software (both included), the Hitmaker Expansion pack has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unrivaled range of recording studio tools from the biggest names in the industry.

    Huge upgrade compared to the internal sound card for my headphones! Like night and day! Just for the sound quality alone, it's worth it. The fact that I can now plug in my guitar and have any effect/sound I want, without extra devices, is a bonus. A very pleasant bonus :)

    It is not worth the money at all...
    Very weak input preamps, to use it with a condenser microphone like the AT-2020 you need 52-54db gain (about 80%) with high noise levels.
    The Safe and auto functions are almost insignificant and don't really have a reason to exist...
    Instead of potentiometers, the 4th gen has rotary encoders so the knobs spin endlessly and to have accurate gain placement you have to use the card's software exclusively. The visual gain indication is just colored flashy LEDs.
    Other than that, it's a nice-looking card, has fairly decent drivers, decent response without much latency but for sure with 180 euros there are much better audio interfaces.
    If you want a little card for livestreaming or discord, podcasts, etc., get a Behringer UMC22 for 40-50 euros and you'll be just fine

    Great improvement over the gen 2 I had before, cleaner sound with more headroom, less noise.

    Very good quality, worth its price, the software is simple and user-friendly, the features the card offers are useful for recording instruments and vocals, and it comes with free software and tutorial videos to help you start writing music from scratch.
