    • Beautiful and functional
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
I was using an old basic USB audio interface combined with a compact analog mixer to try and route all the inputs and outputs I wanted to use. The result was an ugly nest of wires and constant fiddling with knobs to ensure I didn't blow out my speakers when I switched from headphones to monitors. I recently upgraded my work area to a dedicated music desk with built in racks and that encouraged me to look for a rack based solution. I stumbled upon this product and after reading the manual realized that it would be the perfect solution. It had separate headphone and monitor outs and enough inputs that I wouldn't have to juggle things ever again. Audio quality is fantastic of course, but the physical usability is what makes me love it. Absolutely perfect for my needs. ... show more

    • Clean Sound.
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen

With the first recording I made, my wife couldn't stop raving about the clarity of sound coming into my DAW. I've made this with an octopre to give me 16 channels for drums. This setup works great for me.

    • Awesome interface
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
Review Image by Felipe Felipe
Works great, has a lot of configuration options. At first setting up Focusrite Control is kind of weird but once you watch a couple of tutorials and get the hang of it it is pretty cool. love the option to expand from 8 to 16 Chanels. Wish it had a direct monitor button on the interface itself, it is not a big deal as you can mute Chanels from Focusrite Control but it is weird they didn't incorporate these feature as many of the lower price scarlet interfaces have it. ... show more

    • Best Daw for 18 in/out for the Money
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
I absolutely love this interface. I have worked in studios for a large portion of my life and have used interfaces significantly more expensive than this and must say, this interface is great. Setup: 5/5 Setup took me less than 5 minutes. The app it installed was easy to use and focusrite actually gives you step by step videos of showing how to get it connected/registered. Sound: 4.5/5 Okay so I have used and owned interfaces that cost $4,000 or even much more than that, and this interface holds its own when compared. It has great depth and clarity, nothing seems overly hyped or boosted. When compared to something much more expensive, I would say the differences are actually very minimal. So, if you're concerned about sound quality, I think this is perfect for the money. Use/Functionality: 5/5 The main reason I bought this interface was so that I could use it for live shows and recording 10+ things at once (drums) at any location I wanted. Don't be fooled, you have to buy focusrite's octopre extension in order to record 16 inputs at once at 24 bit/96k quality, but it connects easily and is very easy to use. So bottom line for functionality, it's small/easy to use, and has 10 great inputs out of the box. ... show more

    • Important Driver Installation Info
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
I want to share my experience using this audio interface with the community and something that other might not know. This device does sound fantastic (for my needs anyway) and I brought it to replace my ageing and very limited M-Audio Fastrack Ultra. I followed all directions, OS tweaks, recommendations, etc., but still had random drop-outs of audio during recording and on playback. I liked the interface and so decided to just live with it! I thought (thus suks...even my old interface did not have this problem). "Old" was the operative word here so with nothing to lose I decided to remove all the Focurite "recommended" USB drivers and Control SW (V3.11) and replaced with their older version V3.6 (which is recommended for Widows 7 and 8). So if you are struggling with this unit and having the occasional drop-out problems I was, then definitely try the following: 1. Do all the recommended tweaks for the OS (startup, USB port power, etc.) 2. Start/power on unit first then PC/Laptop (may be important step if using thunderbolt port). 3. Download and install the drivers Focusrite Control V3.6.0.1822, install, reboot. 4. The thunderbolt ASIO drvr specific still doesn't work but just select Focusrite USB ASIO which works fine in all my audio SW apps. Good luck. ... show more

    • Perfect
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
Perfect update to the studio. The knobs are quality and turn slowly. The speed is great, virtually no latency. Great color and comes with mounting plates, which is not advertised, so that was a nice surprise! Highly recommend if you’re updating

    • Quality, solid octopre.
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
This is a fantastic octopre for the price. I do not even consider it a bargain piece you have to make due with. It is outstanding in every way. It will save your months of your life by delivering clean and clear tones. Used it for drums, vox, amps, you name it. Plug and play was easy and tech support had chat that cleared up the technical mumbo jumbo. I recommend you add this to your arsenal ... show more

    • Solid interface for the Amazon purchase.
Style: Scarlett 18i20 Set: 3rd Gen
This thing is solid. Sounds fantastic! The pre amps are surprisingly great. Super super quite. My only complaint is the software routing... It can be a little clunky. It's not difficult or confusing but it can lead to being time consuming during your session depending on what your doing, specifically with monitoring. The usb connection is solid. I've tried this on osx big sur and Yosemite and had no issues. Do make sure your using a usb a to b 3.0 or up,or you may run into some funny issues. ... show more
