Thanks for checking out the Focusrite RedNet R1 controller and 8Line interface with us! Learn about more gear like this by hitting those like and subscribe buttons!
Hope we get a follow up with clips of all these mentioned features in use. I was hoping on an actual DEMO as stated on the title. Connectivity and usability sounds top notch for Focusrite. Maybe I should have waited out my UAD Apollo Quad purchase? But I'm loving LUNA. Sonic comparison between them would be good too.
This only needs a built in HDX Card like the Pro Tools Carbon. I hope MOTU are watching, I need them to update their AVB offering to allow for dual USB-C ports and 1G AVB ports for daisy chaining and expansion. With the Milan project they should bring out an all-in-one desktop AVDECC controller+4 Mic Ch Audio interface+4 port Network switch. Glad to see audio networking gaining good traction with Dante and AVB. We now have Dante to AVB bridges. We even have AVB to SoundGrid bridges.
Nah that would drive up the cost for internal HDX acceleration. Dante interfaces are already more than their AVB counterparts because of the additional licensing that goes into the production cost. Presonus does make an AVB to Dante bridge that's been out for a while. I think MOTU should have dual AVB ethernet ports on their interfaces for daisy chaining instead of using an expensive switch once you go past 2 AVB units. I have talked to MOTU about creating a Network like monitor controller unit which would be perfect for Dolby Atmos mixing since the R1 is already being used that way.
@@eman0828 I think having the processing inbuilt is much better than having a standalone processor. UAD figured this out ages ago and now Avid has followed suit. If you are buying this you probably will also buy or already own an HDX or HD-Native card. I think the added cost of inbuilt processing is something a Pro Toold HD user is already accustomed to. Future interfaces from Avid/Focusrite/Antelope Audioshould just be Thunderbolt with inbuilt processing and Digilink ports for daisy chaining legacy interfaces. I'm also hoping for a hardware controller/monitor for AVB Milan with Dobly Atoms support.
@@EnochGitongaKimathi Yeah but I don't see the point since not everyone is a PT user, nor it would be cost effective for an interface. The Apogee Symphony I/O is already stupid expensive so why make it more expensive than what it already is? AVID designed their own interface like that to work with their own native software products which makes more since if you use PT. I use Studio One Pro myself for everything including my Hybrid mixing rig. I will be adding Steinberg Neundo soon for Atmos mixing. We live in the world of multi cross platforms of different DAWs being used. I'm currently using the MOTU AVB interfaces. I love the flexibility of AoIP interfaces. No need to work with messy cables or hardware patch bays anymore as I can do all the routing and patching virutally through the AVB web control app with the routing matrix grid.
Yeah but the I/O capability is much better than carbon. You can easily run an Atmos setup with direct analog outs straight to the speakers. You'd have to get the MTRX studio to be able to do that with Avid and that costs way way more than the Red 16 Line. For a small, single machine room, the Focusrite is really cost effective. And good quality.
Been knowing about the R1 for a while now. Hopefully MOTU creates some thing similar for thier AVB Pro Audio interfaces which would be perfect for Dolby Atmos opposed to using an expensive monitor controller.

Hi, is it possible to use this interface via Thunderbolt3 with ProTools DAW, without DigiLink utilized at all? and is it possible to use simultaneously Thunderbolt3 and DigiLink (for multiple audio applications, at once)? thanks in advance :)
Thanks for your interest! The DigiLink connection is just for directly connecting to Pro Tools HD cards if you have them, but you can connect to Pro Tools via Thunderbolt 3 with this just like any other standard thunderbolt interface, too. As for simultaneously using Thunderbolt 3 and DigiLink, there does not appear to be any support for that. I hope this helps and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

I like RedNet. It seems like the only system that works great in a hobby/project studio with the controller and pricing. Is the Thunderbolt 3 compatible with regular USB-C? (I am not on MacOS.)
Wauw, Mitch great review,i am comparing for new gear for more stability, also for more stable daw pro tools in high image resolution too much problem with I/0 and errors running in cubase also no support whatssoever, eg, 5 new codes and you can't log in yet.
Hi , may a "dump" question - I understand so that i can connect Focusrite machines with Yamaha machines via Dante witzou problemes or ??? Because - so i can buy this Interface, connect this to a Yamaha Console with Dante console (Yamaha - CL5) and can record the session and broadcast ???. Does this work via Thunderbolt on a Windows machine ???
Hi, thanks for your interest! Yes, the R1 should be able to see and “talk to” any other RedNet devices on the same Dante network, including the PCIENX and MP8R’s. Feel free to reach out directly with further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Its priced reasonably at its price point for a top tier product line for the targeted market. This isn't your low end Prosumer Focusrite stuff. The Focusrite Pro division is marketed towards the Pro Audio and commercial market. MOTU makes the same stuff for their higher end line up that makes similar AoIP interfaces with their AVB Pro Audio interfaces.
@@VEGAN-X They aren't even the same products which is why I'm confused why are you responding to this video. The video was talking about Dante interfaces used in a professional studio not mobile interfaces. Its marketed towards the Pro Audio and Commercial market for large studios, live sound and venues etc.

Hey! How does this compare against the Bose T8S?
Love how Mitch always gives these well rounded reviews and always has great content; if Mitch says it’s so, then it is ! 👍🏻
Man, running a studio over Dante… this is almost a dream.
It's a dream. Focusrites dante stuff is so underrated!
we had that in our college studio in india

Way better than scarlett
The question is do I need a separate I/o for hooking up 7.1.4 speakers?
rme with ferrofish also good choice
am i not getting it? so you can use this as an audio interface JUST using the ethernet connection? I'm so so confused
Why didnt you mention the two thunderbolt connections

The Clarett+ seems to have slightly better specs on the line outputs than the Red. Less distortion and higher dynamic range by 3dB. Why is that?
I like RedNet.

Idk why focusrite insists on thunderbolt 3. Why not also have usb?
Will the R1 work in a setup with a PCIENX and a few Rednet MP8R’s

How old is that MacBook?
MacBook Pro 15” 2013-2015 (A1398) is my best guess.
Isn't this the whole purpose why some interfaces come with an app to be able to control the interface feature by mouse???
Not the same thing. Can you hook multiple monitors to an app/Ipad?
What is it can you do a mix on it
I didn’t understand a word of what he said
Pretty cool and pricey 🥲🥲
Ey. Sweetwater beeeeen with the prices though :D lul but do be giving back hella so...

This is honestly a steal for the price.
I want it because of familiarity. I just dont know how to hook it up to hardware compressors and fx 🤦🏿
Looks pretty, but not my cup of tea. Great video!
So what's next I think it and it happens? Beautiful equipment you can just ship that right to my dress thank you very much. 😁
Opening song was clipping...
NEED 4 INPUTS - SYMPHONY DESKTOP LISTEN UP
What does a desktop mobile interface have anything to do with a high end AoIP unit? Different beast, different purpose.
@@eman0828 I DONT KNOW I JUST NEED 4 MIC INPUTS

@@VEGAN-X For inputs for what? I think you are just trolling.
Dante was not made for studio recording.
Record single channel or 64 channel dante add Noise to your recording.
Ravenna is better than dante
Are you kidding us or are you from the competition?
I hope nobody took this guy seriously
So atmos requires 12 speakers including a subwoofer. Where does that plug into this? No dB 25 connector and only 8 outs?
