## Description

Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 (3rd Gen) USB Audio Interface : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: Best audio interface with sophisticated options - The audio interface is really a great investment for someone who is just starting out. The 2i2 gives only two inputs and 2 outputs but this 4i4 gives 4 inputs (2 mic/line level + 2 only line level inputs) and 4 outputs which is useful in the long run. This also has Loopback feature which is especially useful for podcasts, streamers. Sound quality is amazing. Noise reduction is pretty good. Use good quality cables and mic. For mic, Shure SM-58 seems to be a great choice. Studio monitors and headphones are recommended (but not mandatory) to get the most out of your Music Production quality. You can add these gradually in your music arsenal. This 4i4 also has MIDI so if you already have a keyboard which has MIDI outputs, you can connect it to the interface using MIDI cable. (MIDI OUT from keyboard to MIDI IN of Scarlett). Works fine and MIDI data is captured (used Ableton, but should work in any DAW). The Focusrite Control software works fine. It allows you to toggle functions like Air, Pad and toggle Line/Inst inputs and also route outputs, control volume, or mute. I think it's good that these functions are operated by software and not by physical buttons, which makes the audio interface less crowded and clean (as opposed to having knobs everywhere). This also makes the size of the interface smaller and portable. The only problem is the default cable that comes with any Focusrite Scarlett model. It is of extremely low quality and loose. Keeps disconnecting. I went ahead and bought desertcart Basics braided cable (red) as you can see in the photo. (Or buy a good cable which is short, as long cable increases attenuation.) This is a nice cable from desertcart and solves disconnection issues. It also looks awesome with that matching red color! Focusrite should collaborate with desertcart and include this cable as default!! If you are looking for a good audio interface around 20k with long time performance, go with 4i4. Other one you can go for is Solid State Logic SSL2+ (4 i/p and 4o/p) but this one is costly and big size, not too portable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of usb cable does this come with? is it a type-c to type-c or a type-c to type-a?**
A: Hi,

This comes with a type-c to type-a cable. If you have type-c ports, you will need to purchase a type-c to type-c USB cable separately.

Best regards,

Laurence Clarke // Focusrite Technical Support

**Q: Is the headphone jack on this for monitoring your inputs, or does your PC audio come through it aswell?**
A: Hi,

You can monitor your inputs and listen to playback from your computer simultaneously, which allows you to create overdubs with next to zero latency. You can either choose to monitor the inputs using the Direct Monitor switch, or you can use the Input Monitor feature in your DAW. If using the Direct Monitor feature the input signal will be passed directly to the line and headphone outputs, whereas if you use the Input Monitor feature in your DAW, you will be hearing the audio you're recording back from your DAW. In either case, you can still hear any other audio playing back from your DAW at the same time as recording.

Best regards,

Laurence Clarke // Focusrite Technical Support

**Q: can this power 250 ohm headphones?**
A: I have a 650 , 300 ohm and it's enough to play it at okay volume but not enough to power it completed I'm looking at an Amp to pair this with

**Q: Does the XLR input only record audio to the left side?**
A: Hi,

When recording a single microphone, you should ensure that you create a mono audio track in your DAW instead of a stereo audio track. When you record onto a mono audio track, the output from that track will be heard on both sides of your headphones or speakers (ensuring the output is set to stereo), however, if you record onto a stereo track, the audio will just be recorded onto the left side of a stereo file and you will ony hear it on the left of your headphones/speakers. This is explained in more detail here: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206849779?flash_digest=62885ef974b4eb116f3b3ea2c9b9c38ddb871473

Good product recieved

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good and it's amazing
*by D***R on 10 July 2021*

May be the one of the best. Build quality, sound quality all is good. But for home studio you will need high range computer to operate the software coz it comes with protocols and abletone. Its some how very tricky to download the software which come with the item. If you are serious about quality than go for it.
