General

Focusrite's Scarlett 4i4 is a USB audio interface with four inputs and outputs. Like its siblings, it now also has the 'Air' mode found on the Clarett series. That brings even more clarity to vocals as well as acoustic and electric guitars and basses.The 'Air' effect was also found on Focusrite' original ISA microphone preamp that quickly became popular in studios all over the world thanks to its fantastic performance. The 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters guarantee professional audio quality too. Two balanced instrument inputs on the front offer plenty of headroom so that even loud signals don't clip easily. This means you can get lots of dynamics into your mix and the LED rings around the gain knobs make it easy to monitor the incoming signal. There are two line level inputs on the back as well as a 'virtual loopback' that makes it easy to stream and record podcasts and stereo feeds, for instance.

For the Mobile Musician

The 4i4 is bus powered, which makes it truly portable because you don't need an external power adapter. You also get a comprehensive software bundle that includes DAW software in the form of Ableton Live Lite as well as the Focusrite Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite that you can use for compression and equalizing. You also get to choose a virtual instrument from XLN Audio's Addictive Keys software so that you can add a piano part to your songs. Softube's Time & Tone Bundle allows you to add reverb, saturation, compression and tube delay to your mix as well. You also get a 3-month subscription to the huge collection of loops and samples available at Splice Sounds. Lastly, there's Focusrite's Plug-in Collective that gives you access to discounts, software updates and popular plug-ins for free! In short: everything you need to make polished, professional productions.

Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen 4-in/4-out USB Audio Interface

Wrote the following about Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen 4-in/4-out USB Audio Interface
Impressed with the quality and its size (my previous Focusrite 2nd Gen being much larger). The sound quality is great and very responsive. Being USB powered presented a slight problem by draining the laptop faster than my older powered Focusrite but purchasing a powered usb block resolved this situation and secondarly improved the performance of my external drives. Overall I would recommend this unit to anyone using a laptop and limited space. It also has obvious applications when it comes to travelling. Given the price it is a bargain. The delivery was on time but a little notice of the items progress would not go amiss. Very pleased with my purchase so far.

Valt erg tegen, net als ik lees van Gordon S in deze reviews - dropouts - disconnecties. Draait helemaal niet stabiel. Groot contrast met mijn vorige focusrite :(

Alle juichende recensies ten spijt moet ik zeggen dat het apparaat me is tegengevallen. Op zich werkt hij wel en ziet er mooi sober en overzichtelijk uit, maar hij blijft alsmaar uitvallen. Ongeacht wat voor USB systeem ik ook probeer of wat voor kabel ik ook gebruik. Om de paar minuten een dropout. Misschien een maandagmorgen-exemplaar, maar hier valt niet mee te werken, die ga ik inruilen.

Ongelooflijk veelzijdig apparaat. Laptop, twee gitaarversterkers,Line6 PodHD500X, microfoon, huisstereo... alles is er op aangekoppeld en te gebruiken. Geen latency. Opnemen met Ableton (bijgeleverd) is een fluitje van een cent.
Indien je een interface zoekt, dan is dit een no-brainer. Stevig behuisd, ziet er nog goed uit ook. Misschien niet de goedkoopste, maar elke euro dubbel waard. Ik heb mij ook laten bedotten met iets goedkoops en die was na drie maand al defect. Niet twijfelen.

Een echte topper! De voorversterkers klinken helder en mooi en het apparaat is makkelijk te bedienen via een control panel. Binnen no time geïnstalleerd en up and running, bedankt Focusrite en Bax-shop! :))

Topapparaat. Ik gebruik hem voor een studio-podcastsetup en ben er mega blij mee. Let wel: voor opnemen van vocals mag je de ingebouwde amp (Gain) helemaal of tot 90% opdraaien, want anders hoor je het niet in de output. Hij versterkt niet lineair, dus van 90-100% van de gain, draai je exponentieel meer input bij.

Top interface!

De vele positieve reviews hier zeggen het al, degelijke, goed werkende interface voor een redelijke prijs, en zo denk ik er zelf ook over.
Ik vind wel dat de Focusrite Control-software wat duidelijker had gemogen, en liefst had ik softwarematige knoppen voor
de weggevallen fysieke knoppen voor de Direct Monitor gezien. Ik werk met Reason Suite 11 op een Mac, en meestal is het niet nodig om de software op te starten, maar soms toch wel.... Momenteel zijn er geen gidsen voor Reason beschikbaar bij Focusrite. De handleiding lezen en wat zoeken op Youtube was/is alvast (voor mij toch) wel noodzakelijk.


En zoals altijd ook een snelle levering en top service van Bax Music !!!!!

Dit vind ik nog eens een mooi apparaat. Installatie was zonder problemen. En hoewel er veel mogelijk is en veel bijkomende software voorhanden is, is het toch ook plug and play geweest voor mij. Ik gebruik deze Scarlett in combinatie met Reaper DAW. Werkt prachtig mooi. Behuizing voelt ook stevig en solide aan.
