In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen, exploring its features, performance, and how you can use it in your music production setup. I demo the Focusrite Scarlett with a microphone to let you hear what vocals sound like with the new preamps including the sound of the Air and Drive settings. I also compare the Focusrite Scarlett to the Universal Audio Volt, Arturia MiniFuse, and the MOTU M2 interfaces so you can hear the difference in sound side by side. I've also tested the Auto Gain and Safe modes. This interface is good for producers, vocalists, and podcasters.

FWM @SanjayC
The Mini Fuse 2 sounded best on vocals to me 😀
Hi Sanjay. Which one of these budget audio interface that come with ableton also comes with asio driver from the audio interface company itself. Like I use windows so I have heard bad things about Asio4all that's y I want to know which interface comes with their own asio drivers as well. Thanks.
The Apollo hands down is a clean sound without added color
The Air + Drive is the best sound I've ever heard from a budget Audio Interface, there's no going back, it's a game changer in quality.
Just like raw video, I prefer raw audio to be as flat (and of course noise free) as possible. With colorless audio, you can take it any many directions. With a particular character baked-in, it's harder to take it in another direction, if inspiration or necessity requires it. As usual, your video production is top-notch!
Thank you much. I spent a lot of time with this review to give you everything I could
Very true...but how often are you completely switching your whole mood on each project? Good production is often about at least committing to a direction, or knowing what general directions you can or will be going in. Saving every single decision for post sounds like a little bit of a nightmare lol. I get it though.
@@SanjayC can I power motu2 and con mic with just phone USBC power
@@SanjayC I liked the No Air more than the others but it also has to do with 1.Your voice tone 2.The music type
Can you use a usb microphone with this interface @@SanjayC
Thanks so much for including us, Sanjay! 😄
One of my pet peeves is - people who do a video and fail to mention the equipment they are using. 😢 SUB’d immediately because of this. I need a vocal mic, so I will be buying one of yours. ♥️ (On eBay though because I’m volunteering for bedridden/hospice & nursing homes, so I have a really tight budget. 🦋) What a great microphone 🥳
I was really amazed at how vastly different the MOTU recording sounded compared to your other audio interfaces.
3:45 using I feel it coming as a vocal example makes you an automatic legend in my book. Subbed.
Haha...thanks so much!
This is the first time I’ve been able to hear an audible difference between interfaces. Awesome review and performances.
I've owned a number of Focusrite interfaces, and have always recommended them to folks asking for a budget suggestion until UA announced the Volt series.
The Volt is the clear winner over all of these. Either the A/D conversion is better, or it's the colour of the preamps, but the Volt has a crisper top end, and a lot more low mids than any of the others. Motu comes in second with API sounding preamps
I agree. I heard more detail and presence amd openness with the Volt2. I've seen several demos of the new Scarlett, and it sounds dead and dull with the flat setting. I do not judge with the air modes.
I upgraded from focusrite 4i4 to the Apollo x4 it’s amazing what the x4 can do and the onboard DSP for zero latency monitoring with a preamp and 4 plug ins is just incredible, especially if going live on social media
That's great! But, it's about $1800 more than the beginner-class DACs we're discussing here. I would guess that most struggling musicians and podcasters have a couple of grand lying around for such purposes.@@Sincity89103
No it is not. At all. Loses in every aspect
Bro, the Volt has lower dynamic range in every category compared to Focusrite
As to your question about “flavours in interfaces”. I personally like a transparent/neutral/flat sound, which I can then add whatever additional “character” I want. But as you’ve talked about in other videos, we like the sounds we are familiar with. So say you like a lot of recordings that used Neve consoles, you are more inclined to want to make something with that character baked into it. And yeah, that’s a whole other debate about these nebulous or hard to define concepts like “character” or “analogue sound”.
Hi Derek! Thanks for the comment. Yes, if one of these preamp sounds familiar or comfortable for your voice, I think we would automatically gravitate to that. I think my fear always makes me record flat. 🙀
I just bought a solo. This is a very thorough and thoughtful inside look at this product. Thank you for taking the time. Excellent, intelligent delivery. Well done.
How has it been so far? Could I pair my AT2035 with the solo?
Looks like Focusrite is stepping their game up! The Gen2 Scarlett 2i2 was my first 'official' audio interface, and I loved it. I'm now using the SSL2+ and its my new favorite! Great review!
My SSL2 crapped out a few months after receiving it ... 2nd input doesn't work at all .. and there's this annoying buzz in the 1st input even with nothing plugged in. I don't understand the hype on those interfaces .. I wish I never bought mine. Good luck with yours .. hopefully I just bought a lemon, but I imagine more people will be complaining about the SSLs in the near future.
@@Fiveash-Art yeah I heard stories about them crapping out, I definitely won't be getting another one if that happens
@@ddeafner It may have been an issue with some of the first ones out of the factory since I bought mine relatively soon after they first came out .. I'm getting the Clarett + 2 to replace it .. Focusrite seems to have a solid history with reliability although I didn't want to get the Scarlett .. I'm tired of these 100/150 dollar interfaces.. I also had an 'Apogee One' that crapped out on me too a while back... I'm thinking sometimes if you want more, you've got to pay a little more. All I need is something that's going to push the monitors and headphones, with giving me a clean signal, and low latency .. but I need it to LAST and not sound like garbage. These 100 dollar interfaces just aren't built with enough care and quality components I'm thinking? Hope I have better luck with the Clarett
Personally I'm not a fan of in-interface sweetening, and would rather have a flat/neutral sound that I can tweak non-destructively in the DAW. That said, if someone wants to commit to the "Scarlett/UA/whatever" sound that's their creative decision 😊
Your singing is incredible ✨, you're not just about gear, you have actual talent.
Thank you so much 😄
Sanjay, I just got to say. Your speaking voice is so smooth like butter!
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Is it me but can’t hear the difference!!!
Thanks for a great video. I prefer both the sound and features of the Motu M2.
Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts....exactly why I like putting in the comparisons!
We don't hear you sing nearly enough, man. I always forget that you've got some good singer chops!! 👏
Thanks so much
I'm a big fan of your videos. Really honest and straight forward advice which is very helpful. Very nice singing voice too!
It took all dam morning to finally get an answer that the 2i2 only lets two inputs work at a time despite 4 I/O - thank you
Awesome review! And, what a voice - love, love, love! You are super talented, Sanjay C. Please sing more often.
Thanks so much!
Crazy to see how far the Scarlett series had come.
Sidenote: I bought a Focusrite Clarett+ 2pre last tear, and I can honestly say, I prolly won’t be upgrading my interface until I build a studio in my home.
I was waiting for this review ever since this dropped! Thanks so much man!
Hope you enjoy it!
The Minifuse is pretty. I’ve been using a Mackie ProFX12 stage mixer as my interface now. Still have the NI Komplete Audio 6 and Audio 2. I’m happy for the return of Sanjay Saturday!
Hey, nice to see you too! How do you like the preamps on the Mackie?
Hey I've actually been thinking about getting the ProFX6v3 any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.
@@SanjayC it’s fantastic! I use it for recording, I use it for live music with my musician band mates, and I use it in my DJ setup for more audio routing flexibility and for mics.
@@samfarabee2963 I own the ProFX6 also. It’s great for smaller recording applications plus you have the option of taking it out for live applications. My college student son uses it with his Komplete keyboard and Mashine setup, and also with his Traktor Kontrol S3 DJ controller. It’s all routed through the FX6 with a mic too. I “borrow” the FX6 sometimes for smaller live events and Karaoke setups.
@@SanjayC They may not be perfect for everyone, but I am happy with them. Having a one knob compressor on some of the channels is really convenient.
Just ordered it on Amazon, thanks for the information 🥳
Great job Sanjay! Lots of work on your part and it is appreciated! Thanks!
Awesome review! Your studio setup looks really cool with the white theme.
Hey thanks so much!
i liked how the motu sounded out of all of tthem
The different modes arent just emulation even with those old models producers and engineers would run their recordings into compressors, thats the feeling it gives me.
I'm less impressed with the new Scarlett Focusrite right now than I am with your awesome voice. Thank you. The video was worth it for that alone.
Motu m2 is still the king nothing beats it, ill stick with it until they come up with an update
Excellent review as always. I prefer the presence of the Minifuse 2. Your's are beautiful songs but I miss a lot you to put bass lines to give them much more punch. Congrats!
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
THANK you for the highly detailed pro advice, Sonjay! 👍🏻
Cool Interface, but I don‘t need one in the near future. What I needed is your voice! Kind regards, GAD.
I appreciate that!
This was the most complete and thorough review I’ve seen of this new product - nice job, Sanjay!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
I feel with the 4th Gen the Value for Money proposition is kind of fading. The separate xlr and q inch ports were not needed provided that it doesn't add any utility to it. I heavily liked the minifuse over this one coz of the dedicated 5 pin midi ports, a blend knob for direct monitoring, incredible mic preamps (for the price) with really low noise (compared to my steinberg ur44c) and the holy grail usb hub! All this for a much lower price here in India. I recently got the minifuse 2 and I am really loving it honestly. :-)
Hey, thanks for sharing. What do you use the Minifuse USB port for?
@@SanjayC I use it mainly to connect my minilab 3 when i am taking classes using my laptop. Very easy to do 😀
@@MrMitterCan it power the beyerdynamics 770 pro 250 ohms?
@@nigeldsouza6088 I haven’t tried that with this interface. But I have tried it with the ur44c and I needed to push the volume quite high. Minifuse2 has a louder headphone output compared to the ur44c since I used my sennheiser hd280pro with both and the minifuse requires less volume to get the cans to my preferred volume. 😊
The Scarlett looks very nice, sounds great too. I'm very happy with my MOTU M4. It has everything I wanted in an audio interface except what Focusrite has added to the 2i2. That is a separate power input. However the M4 has a on/off switch. I don't need my audio interface firing up everytime I power up my system. Constant plugging and unplugging is a pain, and connectors wear. Anyway, very good review!
Why not? do you use your motherboards soundcard instead? Legit asking because to me id rather the drivers sync with my interface and stay on, I cant ever see myself USING a power switch on my interface.
My MOTU M4 only gets turned on, only when I need to use it. I think of it as do I need the lights on or off in a room. I do use a separate soundcard in my computers. Back when I finally transitioned off the "All-One-Recorders", I had a Presonus Fire Studio Mobile. That unit was Firewire based. I accidently toasted the Firewire input, as I recall the connectivity was a "hot". Though USB is more forgiving, I do appreciate having the on/off switch. I just ordered a Nektar Panorama T6 Keyboard Controller. It has a on/off switch as well, just no need to have it fired up unless I'm using it.
@@Frank-in-NY 10-4. I can definitely understand it if you have a separate sound card. For me, everything stays plugged in and whether I'm gaming or producing, the headphones are plugged in and my 2 sets of monitors can be rolled all the way down or shut off. My motherboard is an ASUS X570 Pro, the soundcard is shielded and heatsinked, and it sounds awful so I'm happy to just leave all my windows sound settings and EQ set for the focusrite.
Yup, understand your need, so yeah I would do likewise in your situation. It's all good! Make great music!
I totally agree with you on recordings. I want the flatest I can get. Any adjustments will be done in Post.
Hi Pat!
Surprisingly, MOTU M2 sounds the fullest. 2nd is FOCUSRITE. 3rd is Arturia. I can not believe that Volt couldn't handle the high frequency
I agree the MOTU sounded fullest, but keep in mind that I had to perform the song multiple times, and there are definitely differences in my performance.
Glad to see you back
Nice to be back. Hope you enjoy this video!
At around 7:00, you're talking about pedigree...
in the early 2000's I had the pleasure of tracking & mixing an album project at Love Shack, on Nashville's 'Music Row'.
i was a last-minute call for engineer, and enjoyed the pleasure of their SSL G-series, racks of boutique outboard gear, & extensive (and expensive) mic closet.
Printing to a Studer 2" 24-track.
The G-series pre's were great! Crisp, precise, transparent- but didn't take well to threshold-pushing. Then I patched in a Focusrite Red, on the guitar amp (MD-421, close, off-axis), and fell in love. Used another couple for kick (U47 !) & snare (57). Reds were the shizznitt. Used it later, through a vintage LA-2A for keeper vox.
I don't want a Focusrite interface, I want a Sanjay album!
I have a a weird setup but I like it. A motu M2 for my vocal imputs, a Zoom R32 for instrument inputs, and a Rodecaster Pro 2 used just for podcasting. That way I can leave everything alone and never have to mess with cables.
Great video! I'm going to get the new Focusrite Gen4. They have made significant improvements with sound quality. The Air brings the sound more alive, more real!
Thank you. This was a brilliant review! 👏🏽
Lovely video, very good explanation as usual. Love the Air button. I prefer the MOTU recording, but I'm very surprised by the new Scarlett (And the Lauten MIC). Technologies today's make thing more and more versatile and also more and more "professional" even with small budget interface. Have a marvelous day.
Thanks so much. Always a pleasure to have you watch my videos
This is a great test and the back to back comparisons are helpful! I was surprised how different the samples were. To me, if the Scarlett was a baseline, the Volt was a tad more harsh sounding and the Motu had a "beefier" sound as if the mic distance was shorter and there seemed more information but I cant tell if it is revealing more or adding it, while the Minifuse was very similar with a little less detail. Overall the Scarlett was very pleasing and I would have used that take for this example imo. I am looking for a new interface in this price range and while a Motu is at the top of my list, the 4th gen Scarlett now has me considering a 4i4 too
Yeah, I think the 4i4 will be an even closer competitor to MOTU
just added to my amazon cart, thanks Sanjay !!!!!
Anytime!
If we're talking about budget audio, you should really consider price. It's hard for me to imagine someone who isn't a high end producer caring that much about the quality of interface input. All these low budge interfaces are more than sufficient to produce music that is far superior than 10 years ago and which very few people can tell the difference. I, also, believe raw (unaltered) is the best to capture initially. These add on filters are meaningless to people who have never recorded with the original equipment. Post effects can re-create almost any vintage. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Sanjay is cool to remember that those new converters (A>D: Cirrus Logic Cs-5381 / D>A: Cirrus Logic CS-43198) inside the all new models (included in the solo) are the same into the Clarret+ Range!!! Nice upgrade @focusrite! 🚀🚀🚀🎧
Lovin' the white setup!!
Thanks! :-D
The modes are good to have and also a marketing ploy
Most microphones already add colour to recordings , i dont see why we need all those air and drive buttons , what we need is better headphone amps , dual independent headphone ports , better dynamic range , cleaner preamps , a volume knob at the top is the way to go , dual stidio monitor outputs should be standard in 2023
Yeah, I think Air is a lower priority...and I'm glad Focusrite caught up with improving the other things this time.
I would care for compressors and EQ built into the interface, different recording modes not so much
What do you think of the UA Volt 276?
I feel like my old Scarlett had a direct in blend. Weird that it’s not there now.
it's def not needed but def useable via the focusrite app.
Your review was absolutely amazing! I just purchased the combo pack after watching your video. I'm curious, what recording software did you use to achieve such crisp and clear vocals?
Where have you been for the last two weeks, I was worried!
Thanks for the Video, like always, exactly what I need to know.
Hey, thanks for the concern, but just taking it a little slower the past few weeks. A lot of exciting videos coming soon though!
2 years ago I decided to buy first midi-keyboard adn ended up on novation launchkey MK3 keyboard, thanks to your in depth- midi keyboards review as well guidance on which was good to go for me :) now I started searching first audio interface as well, I am happy to see you have review about them as well, what I didn't know you have talent as well to sing and so well!
you are a good singer ..you have great content
Thanks so much
@@SanjayC welcome
I liked the sound of the mini fuse the best. That surprised me.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed the comparison part!
I loved how the Arturia Minifuse 2 lowed the excessive bright on your armonics, just what i'm looking for!
Nice vocal.
Thanks so much
The issue with the safe clipping feature is it doesn't turn the gain back up, so in a lot of ways you'd be better applying a limiter effect instead
thats what the auto gain is for though or am i wrong??
The purpose of the "Air" seems to work. Something I've always caught on even talk radio when done right. It puts the voice "right there ... in the air" so that - they seem alive and right beside you. Without the Air (consciously caught or not) it seems like "recorded audio" and not LIVE and NOT "right beside you in the Air". IMHO.
Focusrite has always been fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Acee! Thanks so much for this Super thanks! You are too kind, my friend. I appreciate every time you do this!
Glad to see you back. Are you at a new studio setting?
Hey thanks. Actually I’m just filming in another part of the room, where I setup the PC I built a few weeks ago on the channel.
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing
Glad you like them!
Will a Scarlet solo be more then enough to drive a dt990 250 ohm?
nope. got 650 sennheisers here. got a headphone amp to plug into the 4i4. 2i2s won't allot the amp.
Motu sounds good to me
producers i recommend a 4i4 bc u can plug in pedals and a headphone amp. it's just the better investment. i spent about $350 total but in the end def worth it.
For my taste Universal Audio sounded the best, second the Minifuse.
Thanks for letting me know. Always like to know what other people hear
Same for me as well
Without any second thought
Rupert Neve designed the early Focusrite ISA 110 micpre for Sir George Martin’s AIR Studios.
Yup...and most people don't know how much the Focusrite Consoles have been used in major recordings.
I wonder if Focusrite has fixed the Scarlett 3rd-gen's horrible headphone output into low impedance drivers in their 4th gen series.
The 3rd gen Scarletts were putting so much audible distortion into my 16ohm BA drivers that I had to return them and I bought a Motu M2 instead without any issues.
sadly negative. i got sennheiser 650's that need that boost in impedance. all tho it sounds better, they still top out at 110 db. so i made sure to get the 4i4 n got a headphone amp plugged in via outputs 3-4. problem solved.
I prefer to avoid "flavours" to be recorded. I prefer changing with plugins. More flexible. I am working with Arturia and Audient boards currently
Yeah, me too
Strange how good the Arturia sounded
Hi
I am buying first audio interface. Should i buy 3rd gen or 4rth (which is most costly)?
Purpose: live streaming, recording concerts and lections to zoom / RUclips, band (drums, keyboard, gitars), church. Source of sound: mixing console, stereo pair (jack jack).
I say the cleaner the sound is the better, I will add or remove anything in the mixing stages
I love your props setup. 0:39
love your videos
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing.
What's the point of having 4 ports if I can only record only 2 of them at the same time? At this point Scarlett Solo seems like a cheaper alternative that will produce same results
Well, you can keep 2 XLR devices like microphones connected to the back and plug in additional jacked instruments like a guitar to the front without always touching the XLRs...
It's just a comfort thing...
Wow the air effect on the scarlet takes it from a normal dull recorsing to a sorra warm analog sound nice
I possess a Solo, which happens to be linked to my mobile phone. I am a bit perplexed about the assertion that only the 2i2 and 4i4 possess these capabilities. I firmly contend that the 2i2 is specifically engineered for podcasters who frequently host multiple guests, thus necessitating the use of additional microphones. This represents its sole advantage. Therefore, I kindly request that you refrain from misguided information dissemination, as there are individuals who genuinely require the cost-effective option.
I liked the arturia, the mids feel softer
The Arturia has a unique sound for sure. I'm glad I included it in the vid
Great video! The Behringer UMC interfaces are arguably better (and more affordable) than all of these imho.
The Volt 2 seemed to be the most natural sounding. At least for his voice. (in my opinion)
clicked for the review, sub'd for your beautiful and amazing voice! well done friend
The 4i4 allows individual phantom power.
Great test and honest review Sanjay. To be honest I prefer a clean sound when recording into my Daw, not sure if I would be into the different recording modes.
You'll get a cleaner sound with M-Audio, Presonus, or a Tascam interface over a Scarlett when it comes to budget hardware.
@@Jason75913 I will look into them Jason, thank you
Bro frick the hardware your voice is so good
Good to see you back.. Hope all is good now.. Speaking of the modes, i think I'd prefer them flat.. Though I'm a Gen 1 user so haven't tried them so I just don't know what I'm missing.. Btw how do you switch between the inputs when all 4 are plugged in..?
There is a Select button you use to switch between inputs 1 and 2. You can't switch between 4 because only 2 channels are active at once.
Beautiful vocals ❤
Thank you so much!!
Flat sound is more of a reference to me except in speakers and headphones. Every piece of equipment in your audio chain (cables, microphones, audio interface, audio plugins, speakers, the room you are in, etc.) adds its' own dynamic and frequency response to the audio chain. To try and say your interface response is flat so therefore your audio output is also flat is myopic. Do I want the brand sound of some of the big audio consoles? For sure. SSL, API, HELIOS, NEVE consoles have unique sound characteristics that maybe suited better for different music genres or songs. Regardless, in the final analysis isn't it really how (purely subjective) the production ends up sounding to you? Sanjay, your production professionalism shines.
I can understand from a Marketing perspective, the desire to compare the devices with Industry standard hardware - especially in the case of UA and SSL who have had a significant prescience historically. In the case of Focusrite, I think they should just continue focusing on the strength of their position as a value leader in the budget segment. In their case, it can lead to brand loyalty when budget users look to upgrade, hence, getting their higher lines some attention, especially if they also provide a good value at those price points.
You nailed it. Best interface for the price to run an sm7b for meetings, with extra capability for some basic recording of vocals, guitar. It will take awhile to outgrow focusrite, a customer can still move up to the $700 ISA One for instance (incredible value as well for the quality you get). Bottom line, you cannot beat the value, and you've never been able to get this quality at this price in history. Glorious time to be alive for home music creation / audio!
I'd want a neutral sound. I can add flavours and effects manually.
Thanks for sharing!
Still very happy with my Audient id24, but glad to see these have been upgraded. As far as your question goes, yes, I prefer signals coming in as flat as possible and doing whatever needs to be done, in post. When are you going to be covering that new NI S MK3 midi keyboard?? haha
It's Definitely On Par With The MOTU Now, So It Comes Down To What Color Scheme Fits Your Setup The Most... Also I Like The New LED Indicators More Because They Have Found A Way To Utilize Space More Effectively.
Did you manually capitalize every word? Wow. That's amazing.
@@saadshah7857 That's MY SIGNATURE 😎
The MOTO does have a lower latency.
@@OpenGL4ever I Say If you are a Singer, Then choose MOTO, The Difference of lower latency is impossible to Hear, So For Everybody Else... SCARLETT.
@@babysunn2 It's not that easy if you require MIDI ports. In this case you need to compare a Scarlett 4i4 Gen 4 with a MOTO M4 and these two are in the same price range.
thank u for the informative video brother 🔊
No problem 👍
received by 2i2 gen4 today. Had been using 6i6 gen1 for more than a decade. :)
Any issues with it?
Honestly this feels more like a sales pitch than an informational video.
Very much agreed. The strong point of the Scarlett 2i2 has always been the fact that you can get it for less than $200 and it's decent. For $200. I would look elsewhere. Or get last gen for $120.
I have to be honest, I had a hard time telling a difference in the audio quality between them. It seems to me that the Motu M2 is the new standard, and that the new gen of the Focusrite is geared more towards podcasting than serious recording. I have a gen 3, and I'm looking at the Motu M2 or M4 because of the low latency, the gen 4 isn't even a consideration.
Exactly, this is the go-to for podcasting, meetings, etc when you need a step up from the audio built into the PC. It's perfect for that. I'm completely happy with it and new that going in. I've tried other brands and they drop driver support, don't support new versions of Windows etc. Focusrite has a very long support path and great stability for simple mic capture.
