Great Interface, Shame about the software.
Some quirks with the ScarlettMixControl software, but overall a very solid interface with a lot of options.
The inclusion of the Red2/Red3 Plugins was very nice.
Very Good
An excellent mid range interface that represents very good value for money. Nicely transparent pres combined with the option of ADAT expansion make it perfect for the home studio. My only issue is with the volume knobs, as the tiny little indicator bump on them are the same colour as the knobs themselves making it very hard to see what volume the unit is at.
Twin headphone out is a nice bonus, and the routing software, although daunting at first, is actually incredibly flexible and a breeze to get you head around after a bit of experimentation.
Won't need to upgrade for a long time.
Won't need to upgrade for a long time.
With 8 XLR/TRS inputs, 10 outputs, ADAT, SPDIF, and two powerful headphone amps, I know I will have the 18i20 for a long time.
Although still using USB2, the latency has never been a problem. The reason I bought this was to have 8 inputs in case I ever needed it, and have had to use 6 at once for a podcast I recorded with my friends. With ADAT and SPDIF, I know I can easily add an additional 8 preamps if I ever need it. And with 10 outputs, if I ever decide to mix in 5.1 surround sound, I know I can.
This interface is my baby and will grow up with me as I grow as a musician.
GREAT QUALITY!
The product is such a great addition for any musician wanting to record their own project. It is easy to hook up, no drivers, no software required. Once I hooked this up to my Mac, I was able to get recording within minutes. The Preamps work really nice as well, eliminating most signal noise, any warmth or effects, you would have to do yourself. GREAT PRODUCT!
Great interface.
This is a great interface for someone who is starting with recording music and needs a good quantity of inputs with the possibility of expanding through ADAT. It is easy to use and reliable, it has great sound to it and a good build quality.
pretty nice sound this price.
it's really cheep and nice. but sometimes unstable.
:)!
For the price, the quality of the Scarlett range is unbeatable! The pre's sound great!
I use this interface as my computers soundcard when producing. I also use it to record vocals and instruments when the time comes for it.
