I love this kit. My old set up had a lot of issues with white noise and clarity, but this sounds so clear. It's gorgeous for recording soft vocals, but it also handles a good belt very well. Top quality, especially for the price. The headphones are comfortable and they sound great too. The interface is so simple to use, there aren't any useless buttons making it confusing. It did not take long to get everything set up and to start testing it! It all looks beautiful too. I've recorded a lot since getting it over a month ago and I'm in love!I'd recommend also getting a mic stand as it's really not a "hold it" mic.I was a little disappointed by the software, I found it confusing (its been a while since I've used music software other than audacity, but I studied music at college and university and used Cubase, logic, sibaleous and pro tools so I hoped I'd be able to figure it out quickly). Pro tools kept crashing, I kept getting messages saying things weren't installed properly, and I had latency issues. That being said I'm working on an old pc so that could be why, just thought I'd add that in case you have an old pc or are particularly interested in the software.The only thing I'm really mad about was the delivery. It was due to arrive before 9pm and I waited at home till 6, but there was a family emergency so I had to leave for a couple of days. I updated the delivery information saying to leave it with my neighbor as I don't have a safe place. I got a notification saying it had been "handed to resident" so I assumed that meant my neighbor had taken it in, however, the next morning my partner said he got a delivery before Christmas (a Kindle, so also not a cheap item), and he waited in for it all day, he got a notification saying it was "handed to resident" but he knew it hadn't been and found it in the bin outside.I asked my dad to go and see if it was in the bin as I was nervous about it being left out and I wouldn't get home till the following morning. He went to my house and saw it behind the bin, as in before he even got into my garden, he could see a big delivery box sitting behind the bin. I like my immediate neighbors, but I don't live in a fancy area, and this was on display for everyone to see. It wasn't even covered, and living in the north of England it rains - a lot! I'm lucky it was still there when dad checked, and that it wasn't damaged by the weather. It would have been more than I could have afforded to replace it.I'm still upset about it, highly unprofessional, which is a shame because it was packaged well and the stuff is great! But how hard could it have been to knock on my neighbors door? Shocking.Overall, I'd say it's excellent, well worth the money, but watch out for delivery.

This experience is undeniably cherishable. The quality is perfect and the quantity equates with the price. However, headphones irked me out and held me in hell which is solvable with the understanding of basic sciences. It's affordable if not other prices in other places but it's costly given the fear of not being able to return back. You gotta open it in a specific manner and so on, which irks me although returning the product is completely safe with me. It's my tendency. But this online store unvaried my tendency. Great Job.

What can I say about the Focusrite other than it to all ROCKS! the packaging is as advertised. Installation and start up of the product is very simple and easy to follow.Works great with Reager or any other related software. Easy to use and control.The toggles for vocals and guitars are pretty sensitive making adjustments close to perfect in the mix. The condensor mic with a pop filter is clear and crisp.I've recorded a dozen tracks using just this studio interface and each time it passed with flying colors.Well made and very affordable product!!

Scarlett Solo Studio 2nd Gen è un prodotto eccellente della Focusrite , una ditta super specializzata in materia di soundengineering e fondata nel 1985 da Rupert Neeve ( colui che ha disegnato le prime consolle per la registrazione audio) e George Martin ( il fonico dei Beatles). La qualità dell' interfaccia è il top, ha un entrata XLR con Phantom 48V e una Jack , entrata cuffie ( jack) , direct monitoring ( consente di ridurre la latenza anche se un pò di delay arriva sempre sul lato Left) con opzione "on/off" , ognuna delle 2 entrate ha un suo Gain con un sistema ad anello che si colora di Verde se è tutto ok e di Rosso se invece abbiamo prodotto clipping ( distorsione) .Per il Volume abbiamo un unico potenziometro ; sul retro abbiamo l' RCA per casse attive /passive . Attraverso l' entrate jack (Tsr) abbiamo la possibilità di registrare qualsiasi strumento ( chitarra acustica/ elettrica , basso, tastiera ) mentre con l' Xlr ( o Canon) possiamo entrare con un microfono a condensatore o un sintetizzatore o qualsiasi altro stumento che abbia bisogno di alimentazione Phantom ; oppure non includere la Phantom ( c'è un pulsante trasparente per accendere e spegnere l' alimentazione) e entrare nell' Xlr con un microfono dinamico o con un altro strumento.Le cuffie (HP60 Mkll) e il microfono ( CM25 Mkll) a condensatore cardioide sono ottimi per iniziare in Home Recording o per attrezzare il nostro studio-portatile .Il microfono è forse un pò sensibile agli alti ( gli acuti di un Sol di petto di una voce femminile potrebbero dare clipping senza che l'anello del Gain diventi rosso ) ma ottimo per registrare stumenti acustici.E' anche possibile però posizionando il CM25 in punti con maggiore risonanza , ottenere una ripresa migliore sia della voce che degli strumenti che intendiamo registrare .Sia le cuffie che il microfono sono di colore nero con rifiniture rosse.Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 2nd gen includec 2 DAWs ( Digital Audio Workstation, ovvero software di registrazione e missaggio) tra cui il Pro Tools First ( un Pro Tools a tutti gli effetti ma col quale si può lavorare solo a 3 progetti - sia Audio che MIDI-) che include tutti i principali plugins per il missaggio.Per i primi tempi il Pro Tools First potrebbe rigettare i plugins non-Avid , basta installarli nuovamente.Ci sarebbe anche Ableton Live Lite 9 : se dovessi riuscire, un giorno, ad installarlo forse ...saprò dirvi com'è.Insieme a un set di batterie in aiff ( Drum Pack) Focusrite include un magnifico EQ ( Red 2 plugin) e un Compressore ( Red3 ) nonchè un bundle Time and Tone di Softube; il Loopmaster Novation e softwares MIDI di XLN AUDIO.Con un budget molto ristretto, è possibile grazie a questo pacchetto attrezzare il nostro primo studio casalingo e iniziare a studiare tutti i modi possibili per portare la nostra musica ad un livello superiore.Un sogno di molti, ormai...per tutti!Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio (2nd Gen) - Interfaccia Audio, Microfono a Condensatore, Cuffia ProfessionaleCiò che è necessario acquistare a parte ( qualora non ne fossimo già provvisti) è un'asta microfonica ( a giraffa o da tavolo) e un filtro anti-pop.
