Hi all, first time posting. I researched the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen quite extensively before Black Friday and jumped on another sale at $190. I haven't seen it anywhere close to this price.
This is $159 plus free standard delivery.
Probably a fairly niche product, but those who want to play/record music through a computer and bundled software will know what I mean. There are deals on other Focusrite products on here but I'll leave you to comb through them.
Enjoy!
That I don't know (But I spent a long time chewing over it). My brother has the 2i2 and does a lot of semi-pro recording, but said he never uses more than one input. We agreed that with a condenser mic and a single input for guitar etc, we can't see a reason for anymore.
So the solo it is for me!
Depends upon whether you need the features of the 2i2 or not. Both are good. I have the Behringer UMC204HD. Like the earlier poster said of the 2i2, it's overkill for the use I make of it. A UMC22 would have been sufficient for what I've used it for so far. Price wasn't an objection with the Behringer when I bought. With the price of Focusrite Scarlett products it would be a consideration.
Only you can answer how many inputs you need to record at once.
Also available for the same price at Store DJ if that suits anyone better.
FYI, they are the same company.
That is some useful information, thank you.
I've been using this for recording vocals for various things at home, really user friendly. No issues to report. Also use the headphone input which is fine upto 200 ohms.
would definitely recommend this brand!
I have the 2nd gen 2i2, and it does its job perfectly, and was super easy to set up!
Solos are great little devices. If you're a pianist/vocalist, though, I would recommend a 2i4 for the MIDI in/out- one less input to worry about when gigging, and gives you two mics to play with- perfect for podcasting.
Would this work for podcasting?
What software you are using for recording with it?
This or Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd gen)?
