Another advantage of the clarett is that line 1 and 2 output have anti thump technology to prevents pops from the speaker if they are on before you turn on the interface. Normally without this, if your speakers are on, then you turn on interface, it will make the speakers pop which may not be good
Really liked video. My hd500x i think alsonhas spdif. I wanted to be able to have phantom on one input only so i coukd have condenser mic and rinnon mic on at same time. Scarlwt cant
I don't use it when I record because I like to control brightness I inside my DAW using EQs. Air is nice though if something is really dark sounding going in. It can brighten it up nicely.
@@LucasLeCompteMusicI recorded amps sims with Air mode on and lead guitar definately sounds piercing. I just did it once as I am new to the interface and I really loog for pointerss.
it was more because your plugged a pre into a pre. instead of a direct line input few interfaces hav the capability to bypass the pre have to chk specs
Thanks for this I have several interfaces including my first one the 6i6 I thought the same, the preamps are weak.. I have to crank almost all the way up.. My Apollos blow them away. I also have 3 Focusrite 18i20 and 2 octopres.. I now use the 6i6 in my office for my laptop only
It is just the converters that they use are on the lower end, which is why they are able to keep the units themselves on the cheaper end would be my guessd.
@@jorgeguitar2540 It effects everything that use the front preamps that goes from analog to digital. It doesnt really effect the SPDIF connections all that much so it already is digtal.

Difference is huge 🤩

This Scarlett sounds way better than my expensive midrange interface from 2007. I still could use it until last year.
Informative! Thank you!!
Do you use the air mode for recording guitar?

Did you ever make a video about using clarett with amp modelers like axe fx?

This is my curse… haven’t heard that song in a minute. Noticed the difference immediately in the vocal test alone
its design not the clarett being newer. Its a better preamp design
True best way to use a fractal spdif to clarett
pondering going from the 2nd gen 6i6 to clarrett 2pre. Would miss the 2nd headphone out though!
Splitter?
Why are the Scarletts terrible at recording DI?
It is just the converters that they use are on the lower end, which is why they are able to keep the units themselves on the cheaper end would be my guessd.
@@LucasLeCompteMusic so it affects dynamics, sound or ?
@@jorgeguitar2540 It effects everything that use the front preamps that goes from analog to digital. It doesnt really effect the SPDIF connections all that much so it already is digtal.
@@LucasLeCompteMusic do you think other inexpensive interfaces are better at recording di? Like an Audient Evo?
@@jorgeguitar2540 I honestly dont know. If you really want good DIs a DI box would be the way to go.
Any difference with headphones? Just bought 250ohm and wonder if clarett would be better.
Go watch Julian's video on the 2 pre. It's in the description of this video. He has a section where he goes over headphones!
@@LucasLeCompteMusic watched and he gives a thorough review..
@@jadonx exactly why I put it in the description. He goes way I depth.
