No way. It happened again lol you posted the EXACT right video lol I narrowed my decision to the Rode Duo and Scarlett 2I2 after last video but i don’t know anything about audio and read that the Duo had automatic settings that make it sound great as a plug and play. I had no idea how to dial up the software. But now the 2I2 is back in play. I would like the save the $200+ if possible lol. You’re the man!!
Hey! I understand but be careful, it's a big difference between Rodecaster DUO and Scarlett interfaces. These audio interfaces don't have internal processing as Rodecaster. If you want that, go with Rodecaster. This tutorial is just to record the audio clean but you need to process the sound after :)
Duo it's a great, complex system. You need to learn how to use it but after, you can reach great results. I use it and I am happy with it. It's a great device :)
Thanks Gabriel, very clear advice , subscribed !!! just need the 10 or 15 dogs in the neighborhood to stop advertising who's the GOAT whenever I press record !
Thank you! glad you like it! Hahahah, I record in an apartment and I know how it is. Someone is talking loudly on the next floor, some loud car outside... we need to deal with this problem every day.
This is literally the best channel for talking head lessons. I am in the process of turning my faceless into talking head and I have learned so much from Gabriel! He has saved me quite a bit of $ during the process as well lol I’m still catching up on his catalog but Im convinced I couldn’t have learned more if I spend $1000 on a course. I look/feel/sound like a total fan boy but I’m ok with that 😂😂😂
can i connect 2 pair of headphones with this audio interface? I mean i need to conncect a microphone, a first pair of headphone for me and a second pair of headphone for the person who's recording, is it possible?
Hi, I just got this device focusrite scarlett 4i4, I have the latest software version of Focurite Control 2, when on Prefferences/Device I do not see those two options "Combine input 1 and 2" and second option "Send direct monitor mix to loopback". Your video is just two months old, they can't have removed these features by updates? If not, how do I enable these? my device is on, everything is lit correctly on it, do I need to do something for these options to be visible?
Hey! I am not sure if 4i4 is different. Maybe on that model, you don’t need to activate it. Or the software can be different for that model. It’s hard to say because I don't have it.
Hey! It is impossible to find the problem like this. I never used Fruity Loops. Try to upgrade the drivers, firmware, and everything. It looks like a connection problem.
I need help I have the solo 4th gen I think and it won't show up in sound settings or under "sound video and game controllers" in the device manager. I'm very frustrated
Sir i have scarlet 2i2 and shure mv7 and cloud filter and i didn’t know how to do it but today u made exect video thank you sir I will try tonight 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I have a latency probelm with my 4th gen scarlet, i record the first track and its fine then i record and its not in time i had try many daws and nothing happens, also when use the monitorizing of the daws its sound with so much delay what i do thx?
Hmmmm. It never happened to me. Do you have all the updates? Did you check the latency setting in your software? I suggest you email the Focusrite team. Maybe they have a direct solution.
Is there any way I can connect a turntable through the Scarlet Solo 4th gen and then import into Audacity. I tried but I only got the left channel of sound being imported, not the right channel, because I’m recording in stereo and need both channsls
thank you for talking about the fact that it comes with a usb A to usb C cable which I was hoping would be talked about since I didn't know if I could just buy a usb C to C cable and it still work since I just bought a new MacBook and it doesn't have any usb A ports...thanks for saving the headache!
Hy! The Shure SM58 needs a preamp with around 50dB of gain to accurately capture sound. This audio interface has 58dB so... it will work perfectly. I don't have one to test but if I read the specifications, it is ok.
Hey gabriel, i use mv7 and i connect it with my focusrite solo same like you, but the voice is so low that i need to rotate the gain until maximum, and that still not in -12 to -6 db, in scarlett application i also mix output 1 and 2 (if not mistaken) so my voice become louder, and my channel is 4th channel, do you have any tips to fix that so i can use my mic loudly enough like you, thanks
Hey! MV7 should work fine. It’s a dynamic mic so you don’t need to activate the phantom power. But something it’s wrong. Mixing the channels shouldn’t make the gain louder. Hmmm. It’s almost impossible to see what’s wrong if I don’t see the setup.
Thank you. I'm all set up but my my Shure MV7X is not working with my Scarlett solo 4th Gen and GarageBand. Any suggestions? All setting preferences on MAC and in GB ( input /output) see the Scarlett but the MIC is not recording.
Hey! I never used Garage Band, so it's impossible for me to figure out if something is set wrong there. Do you receive the signal in the interface? The light around the gain knob it's showing up?
I am not able to change sample rate or use usb c to usb c cable on my MacBook m1 air any suggestions? I have control software and am attempting to use garage band as DAW. I want to change sample rate because of static and playback malfunctions.
HI there! What usb c to usb c cable do you use to connect the scarlett to the mac? Usb c 2.0 or superior? I have been checking with Focusrite and they seem to recommend the cheapest amazon basic cable....
Hey! I use something like this: amzn.to/40YggrD It's a superior cable, but I use it because I have it :)) It's not mandatory, but I recommend having good cables :)
Great video. I bought shure sm7b, a cloudlifter CL1, and the focusrite device you are demo-ing. I am imputing to Apple Logic Pro, Sm7b Xlr to input 2..I turn gain up all the way and sound is still low and I get a buzz. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks!
Hey! Something it’s wrong. So: connect the mic to the CL1 and the CL1 to the audio interface. After you connect them, turn on the 48v phantom power and increase the gain step by step. It should work! Also, check if the cables are ok.
@@GabrielVIP Thanks much! I've tried everything. I think the mic is counterfeit. I bought it for 140 on ebay. Too good to be true. I've requested a return.
Hi! I don't ditch it. I use it when it’s necessary. Rorecaster DUO it’s amazing but I don't do complex routing or live sessions that require a complex setup anymore. And it takes up a lot of space on the desk. I just record 1 mic and connect my headphones and my speakers to edit and process the sound and do classic video calls with 1 mic. For this, the Scarlett Solo is more than enough and compact. I explained more in my latest video 🙋🏻♂️
@@GabrielVIP Thank you! any recommendations on a good stereo sound card for that? I currently use the iRig 2, but need something better. Thank you in advance!
I searched online for your speakers. Looks like you need a classic cable with two trs. You will connect a cable with two trs on one side to the two outputs from the interface and on the other side have the same two tra that connects to the right and left of the speaker.
Hey! No! You can’t record directly in the interface. You need to connect it to your pc. You need to have what I showed in the video. A mic to connect it to the interface, connect the interface to a laptop or pc, and to hear the audio you need headphones or speakers. And of course cables. This is not a recorder. It's an interface between a microphone and speakers and the PC
I bought the scarlett solo 4th gen in Amazon and the amp is making my RØDE PodMic sound terrible :( I tried changing the sample rate, buffer etc. What seemed to fix the crackling Issues (for the headphones) was to uninstall the new focusrite and download an older USB driver. The headphone audio now sounds decent with the amp (same as without it though...), but the mic quality is still sounds like a dollar store mic...
Hi! It never happened to me. If you have a good mic cable, the mic is ok, you have a good USB cable and the latest firmware it should work fine. If not… it's possible to be a problem with your interface. Sorry to hear that.
I live stream in a church service using focusrite. The sound is always distorted on youtube. I get bus line from the church mixer, connect it through the focusrite then to the computer for live streaming. The sound is horrible. Can you make a video about big scale live streaming? Thnks for your videos they help a lot
Hey! I don't have experience in that kind of situation but if the signal that goes into the Focusrite is not clipped or distorted is a matter of how you set your gain or something from the streaming software. Take them one by one and see where that clipping appears.

im using the shure sm7b and its not picking up any audio, especially when i turn everything up i can only hear fan sounds in my headphones.
Hey! It's impossible to figure it out from a comment. Do you have a good cable? The routing in your software is ok?
@ I think it may be my audio interface, it’s the scarlet solo 4th gen. It maxes at 6db of gain, so maybe that’s the problem
I’m having issues with mine it’s not reading my interface and it recognizes the headphones in fruity loops but not the scarlett microphone please help

Hey! The mic input and the instrument input are mono. So, you will only record one channel.
Great explainer video Gabriel... 👍
Thank you, Professor! 😁🤗
Thank you so much for this video!

Hey! Glad it was helpful :) I hope you enjoy it :)
sir, i have an shure sm58, will i need a cloudlifter on this scarlett solo?
Hy! The Shure SM58 needs a preamp with around 50dB of gain to accurately capture sound. This audio interface has 58dB so... it will work perfectly. I don't have one to test but if I read the specifications, it is ok.

I have it connected to my MacBook but where would I plug in my ps5
Hey! I have no idea how to use it with PS5. I never used this interface for this purpose.
Thank you. I'm all set up but my my Shure MV7X is not working with my Scarlett solo 4th Gen and GarageBand. Any suggestions? All setting preferences on MAC and in GB ( input /output) see the Scarlett but the MIC is not recording.
Hey! I never used Garage Band, so it's impossible for me to figure out if something is set wrong there.
Do you receive the signal in the interface? The light around the gain knob it's showing up?
I am not able to change sample rate or use usb c to usb c cable on my MacBook m1 air any suggestions? I have control software and am attempting to use garage band as DAW. I want to change sample rate because of static and playback malfunctions.
Hey! It never happened to me. Check to have the latest firmware. I will search to see if I can find something about this problem.

Great Explanation bro
Glad you liked it 🙋🏻♂️🤗
Hi there,
Can i use this device without the computer ? Using a 5V usb adapter? Just for singing and recording it in my phone?
no
Hey! I never used it like that. I am not 100% sure if you can do it.
Sir you have told us how to record our audio and can you please make a video on how to edit our audio like you please

HI there!
What usb c to usb c cable do you use to connect the scarlett to the mac?
Usb c 2.0 or superior?
I have been checking with Focusrite and they seem to recommend the cheapest amazon basic cable....
Hey! I use something like this: amzn.to/40YggrD
It's a superior cable, but I use it because I have it :)) It's not mandatory, but I recommend having good cables :)

Hey! Something it’s wrong.
So: connect the mic to the CL1 and the CL1 to the audio interface. After you connect them, turn on the 48v phantom power and increase the gain step by step.
It should work!
Also, check if the cables are ok.
@@GabrielVIP Thanks much! I've tried everything. I think the mic is counterfeit. I bought it for 140 on ebay. Too good to be true. I've requested a return.
Does this thing also works with cameras / camcorders or it’s just for PCs and Laptops?
Hey! This is an Audio Interface for a PC or laptop :) It will not work with cameras.
did you ditch your rodecaster for the Scarlett?
Hi! I don't ditch it. I use it when it’s necessary. Rorecaster DUO it’s amazing but I don't do complex routing or live sessions that require a complex setup anymore. And it takes up a lot of space on the desk.

I explained more in my latest video 🙋🏻♂️
Is this a good option for streaming through your phone instead of the iRig?
Hey! No! It's hard to use an external interface with a phone. Something dedicated for that it's better :)
@@GabrielVIP Thank you! any recommendations on a good stereo sound card for that? I currently use the iRig 2, but need something better.
Thank you in advance!
Hey! New to the audio world. I was wondering if I can get two separate TRS cables and plug them in or do they have to be dual?
Hey! I don't understand.
Do you want to connect your speakers?
You need two cables. One for the right speaker and one for the left one.
@ I have the Kali LP-UNF so both of the TRS inputs are one one speaker and there’s a special cord that connects the speakers together.
On one*
I understand. If you connect just In one you will have a signal in one speaker. You need an adaptor from two mono-male jacks to a stereo-female jack.
I searched online for your speakers. Looks like you need a classic cable with two trs. You will connect a cable with two trs on one side to the two outputs from the interface and on the other side have the same two tra that connects to the right and left of the speaker.
If I buy this unit can I record direct to it? And what else would I need? Laptop, monitor speakers etc thanks
Hey! No! You can’t record directly in the interface. You need to connect it to your pc. You need to have what I showed in the video. A mic to connect it to the interface, connect the interface to a laptop or pc, and to hear the audio you need headphones or speakers. And of course cables.

Hey! I don't use Premiere Pro. I just set it up for the audio interface. But if you render in 4k, h264, or h265 at a high bitrate you will be ok :)
It's not 2i2 but good
It's not a huge difference for basic use :) Glad you like it! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!
Glad you likr it 🤗 Thank you 🙋🏻♂️
Hey i have left and right speakers that come out of one audio jack. can i use a splitter for the left and right or will it mess up the balance
If your audio jack it's stereo and uses a stereo adapter, yes! It's OK :)
