Focusrite Scarlett 18I20 4th Gen audio interface for project studio
If you work with multiple sources at once, the Focusrite Scarlett 18I20 4th Gen gives you the space to do it properly. This audio interface offers 18 inputs and 20 outputs, with eight detailed ultra-low-noise microphone preamps plus line, Hi-Z and MIDI connections. That makes it easy to connect drums, vocals, guitars, keyboards and synthesizers in one central studio setup.
For serious recording sessions, the Scarlett 18I20 is built around control and flexibility. Focusrite Control 2 gives you extensive routing and mixing options, so you can tailor the independent outputs to the needs of each session.
Connectivity, monitoring and studio functions
If you want to expand your setup, you can do so through ADAT, S/PDIF and Word Clock. That makes the Focusrite Scarlett 18I20 4th Gen a strong fit for a growing studio where synchronization and extra digital connections matter.
There is plenty of practical convenience while recording as well. Low-latency monitoring keeps delay down, A/B speaker switching lets you compare two speaker pairs quickly, and the built-in talkback microphone helps communication in the recording space.
Air mode and included software
Air mode with Presence and Harmonic Drive brings a large studio console character to your recordings. Auto Gain and Clip Safe take part of the level management off your hands, so you are less likely to run into unwanted clipping during a take.
You also get the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle with tools to record, produce and release tracks. Through the Focusrite Control 2 desktop and mobile apps, you can control the Scarlett remotely from different spots in the studio, which is especially useful in a fixed recording environment.
