About the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen
Bring studio sound to wherever you make music — just plug in, record, and produce finished tracks with the best sound you’ve ever heard. Scarlett Solo features a detailed mic preamp, a dedicated guitar input that feels just like you’re plugging into an amp, a powerful headphone output, and Air Presence and Harmonic Drive modes for that big-console sound.
The classic Scarlett mic pre design.
Designed to capture every part of your performance, Scarlett Solo’s mic preamp brings crisp, clear, rich detail to whatever you’re recording, from the softest vocal, to the loudest guitar.
Seeing red with your levels?
Whatever you’re recording, Scarlett’s Dynamic Gain Halos make setting levels quick and easy, so you’ll get great recordings every time. If you’re seeing red, just dial yourself back into the green and you’re good to go.
A Hi-Z guitar input that feels just like an amp.
Solo’s Hi-Z instrument input makes guitars sound and feel great. Electro-acoustic guitars sound huge and detailed, and it’s perfect for connecting your electric to your favourite amp sims.
Get big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes.
Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.
Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.
All the software you need to make a hit record.
Once you’ve got started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, or six months of FL Studio Producer Edition recording software (all included), the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of record-making studio tools from the biggest names in the business.
Loud and clear — with any headphones.
A custom-designed headphone amp design sets the stage for the best playback you’ve ever heard from a Scarlett interface, driving high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before.
Solo has independent controls for your headphones and monitors so you can record, mix, and play back audio however you want.
