This is definitely above my price level but another great video brother thank you for the channel. Always learn new stuff when watching your content. Also did you win that competition we voted for you on. The song you had was awesome.
Hey, Edward. Good video. I have been contemplating upgrading to this Interface. From my old Motu 2408 Mk3. My Motu still sounds good. I hear a lot about good modern DAC's and Pre amps. But I do wonder if upgrading to an interface like this Clarett+, would the sound quality be of much listenable difference?
I really like your videos, one thing is I always miss some great brands out now, like SSL2 audio interface which I was 100% you would have done review on
Your videos are inspiring and are helping me tremendously in selecting new recording equipment to upgrade my home studio. I’m going with the higher end interface here you have suggested. Would you also suggest a Neve preamp in addition for vocals or would the interface suffice. Thank you.
Hi Edward! Thank you for all your videos! One question on your opinion. Do you like the results of plugging in your headphones (Neumann or Beyer) straight into the Clarett+ hp jacks or do you feel the need to run a couple line outs to a headphone amp?
Hi, I currently have the Presonus Studio 1824C. Just wondering if the Focusrite Clarett would be a worthy upgrade from the Presonus. I’m a vocalist mainly. Also just purchased the Warm Audio WA-47. Thank you for any input.
Hi EDWARD, nice video like your channel, it this interface professional in your eyes?? It is better than the audient id14 mkii. I am asking beacause i wanted to buy the new calrett + 2pre.
Hello ✋🏻 .. Please which audio interface is more pro. to buy (tascam 2x2hr - presonus studio 24c - audient id4 mkii or motu M2) note: i have a rode nt1a mic Regards
The worst type of paid promotion, encouraging others to purchase something he doesn’t use himself, watch later videos. If you promote it as a $1000 purchase make it evidentially what is being used in your own set-up. This review isn’t backed by data or proper testing to evaluate sound differentiation and the product never features again. It looks bad on Focusrite and on the channel because it is bad practice.
hi im with focusrite scarlet 2i2 3rd gen now. Im planning to upgrading my AI/Pre after finally i got my neumann KM184 :) is it better to upgrade my scarlet to clarett+ or Stay with scarlet 3rd gen 2i2 and buy a pre (maybe about 200-300)? Thanks!
The Gen2 and 3 knobs and also the scarlett octopre's knobs are made of a different material and won't get sticky. Confirmed with FR. BTW to ged rid of the sticky stuff on the Gen 1, just wash and rub hem with you hands water and soap. they will return as new. The Clarett+ is twice the price of a scarlett and it may be pretty hard to hear the difference. In a mix you probably won't notice it at all. Why not record sometihing and compare ? There is a drummer post that did this. the difference might just be a matter of preference. What would be nice to see noise level measurements and if is noticeable at all. Some instrument (even high end) generate already so much noise (Even with balanced cables) that the preamp noise is negliable.
Upgrading is great if really makes that much of a difference. Just be good at what you do and then the gear what sound good because you're good. The real quality is fisrt in you 👉🏾 (the engineer).
You would need to shell out a hell of a lot of money to buy better quality pre-amps than these. You would also miss out on the "air" feature which adds high atmosphere to vocals and organic instruments. My friend and I compared the Focusrite Claret 8-pre against the UA Apollo 8-pre. On paper the Apollo had more head room, but when listening through a selection of studio monitors to vocals recorded using studio microphones, we could not tell any difference in audio quality. Sadly I must sell mine as it is Thunderbolt and my MAC has died so I am moving to Reaper on Windows.
@@undercrackers56 i know im late for this but i use the clarette 8 preX thunderbolt with an intel asus motherboard and a thunderbolt 3 card, running windows 11, works flawlessly
Great video. I’m not sold on the buttons looking better thing. It’s gear no a fashion statement! And if your still in an apartment all those input outputs are over kill. Your not going to be playing that many instruments at one time! Focusrite 4i4 would beyond cover all of that. But the 2i2 3rd gen. Is just fine. Not the solo though I can’t stand not having a gain button for the ear phones.
I have the 2i2 3rd and allow me to say today I need the 4. Removing my keyboard cables to plug in a mic or mics it’s not fun at all. My two cents, blessings to all. I agree the 4 is perfect though I have contemplated on the 8 you know, just Incase 😎 Speaking of, I’m here because I want to now upgrade. Any insight is appreciated. Was looking at the new audient.
How do you actually MAKE music?!?! I’ve found SOOO MANY useless videos on this.... It’s ridiculous! No, I don’t have a laptop. I just want to create MY OWN beats. This is thing somehow nobody can teach in a video. The all use other people’s beats... Please HELP ME somebody!!!

@@EdwardSmithMusic hello question, do you connect your pyle surge protector to a UPS?
The video came at a perfect time, just yesterday I was doing a research on this same topic..
Bro,why Don't you make antelope, universal audio and rme audio interface comparison... Love to see it in your future playlists❤️❤️❤️
Watching this while I am at work at Sweetwater. Thanks for the shoutout!!!

But I do wonder if upgrading to an interface like this Clarett+, would the sound quality be of much listenable difference?
Is the Claret + still the best for the price in 2024 ?
Great video and well explained. Where did you get the rack for the focusrite? I don't see a link. thanks
I really like your videos, one thing is I always miss some great brands out now, like SSL2 audio interface which I was 100% you would have done review on
The brother delivered fire once again😊🔥🔥

I would definitely get the Neve preamp 🙌🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you👍

I'm just starting out but with the quality being so much better on the Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre I am going to go with that.

this is something we needed edward ..🤩🤩
Hi EDWARD, nice video like your channel, it this interface professional in your eyes??
It is better than the audient id14 mkii. I am asking beacause i wanted to buy the new calrett + 2pre.
Both are really good, but I am personally a fan of the smaller Audient interfaces since I have an iD4 MKII... So I would go audient.
@@EdwardSmithMusic you mean with audient i can get professional result for low price
Do the instrument inputs have identical quality as the older version? Or do instrument inputs always the same across all interfaces?
Hello ✋🏻 ..
Please which audio interface is more pro. to buy (tascam 2x2hr - presonus studio 24c - audient id4 mkii or motu M2)
note: i have a rode nt1a mic
Regards
I would go with the Audient ID4 💪🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Lovely piece of hardware.

dope content as usual
Appreciate that!!

I couldn't hear a difference on that drummer a/b TH-cam.
Edward, where did you find a Pyle PDBC70 with blue switches? Every unit I find has red switches.
They don’t sell the blue switches anymore 🙁
@@EdwardSmithMusic ~ I'd much rather look at blue than red.
Really an awesome comparison. Thank you for this video. Sir, please make videos on beginner to advanced music production. Love from India.
Nice! 👀
Thanks 🔥
Upgrading is great if really makes that much of a difference. Just be good at what you do and then the gear what sound good because you're good. The real quality is fisrt in you 👉🏾 (the engineer).
Why wouldn't they make every channel phantom power switchable? Why group them in 4s??
True!
Am here in the first five hours.
Hi Edward
I wanna ask something
Why there's so many input and output
Because I thought only for mic
If you are recording a band, you are going to need to connect more microphones and guitars etc...
I know this has built in pre amps but Should I still run a preamp first for better quality??
These pre-amps are crystal clear for audio interface pre-amps... so in my opinion, no.

What is that rack mounted power switching device @ 0:40 ?
Unfortunately Amazon doesn't sell this blue one anymore. They only have it in Red - amzn.to/3tm6RrV
where's the comparison? the knobs were the only thing you really talked about in depth.
what u mention is not right. not even 2 years , you already upgraded to apollo. Clarett is not lasting.
wow
Those Yamahas sound worse than bbl 305's and 308's.
