Most useful video guide for this interface. Even better than the official tutorial by Focusrite. Thanks.

Anyone who works in the field of content creation needs to have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. It has a strong construction, excellent audio quality, low latency, and a great software package. This audio interface is perfect for musicians, podcasters, and KZfaqrs who want to produce higher-quality recordings. For that reason, the Scarlett 2i2 ought to be at the top of your list if you're looking for the best audio interface available. You're going to love it!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. As a complete novice it was really useful and taught me a great deal.

Pretty intense tutorial. straight to the point and it covers a great deal other vid creators leave out ! Great job mate !

I have to say I’m delighted with my Focusrite bundle. Paid about £20 more for the table mic arm and pop filter. The registered number is on the box but the bundle code IS ON THE INSIDE OF THE BOX STUCK TO THE SURFACE OF THE BOX. I have GarageBand so didn’t bother with the free software and as I’ve an iMac I didn’t need the Focusrite drivers anyway. I’m recording great and the mic and pop filter are great for vocals. 10 out of 10!

Great tutorial, thank you. Being a non-techie (old fart) but a person considering buying one of these, your tutorial really helped take the techno-fear away and concerns about being able to set this piece of kit up. Thank you.

Dude! Thank you so, so much! I was having trouble with the latency and after following your tutorial it helped a lot! Thank you again.

Thank god you showed what type of cable must go in for the studio monitors ... watched about 15 vids and only this one got that detail ! THANK YOU

Just have to say kudos for making a very easy to understand video and taking the time to reply to a lot of additional questions people have regarding the hardware in general in the comments. Thanks!

I just bought my Focusrite and will be using your guide to help me set it up! Thanks!!

Bro Thank You so much ! I was searching for an interface to start my studio and i came up with the 2i2. I bought the interface and i was trying to hook it up with my computer ! I searched for videos and YOU had the most useful ! Keep up the good work man !

This is the best tutorial out there. Thank you!!!!

Mate this is the best and most helpful video I found on the Scarlett + SM7B. Thank you

I agree with Carlos del Rio in his comment below. This tutorial is very helpful to both the savvy and not so savvy. Better than the manufacturer’s video. Thank you

Thank you I am a beginner so I couldn't find out how to do it and by watching this video I understood everything

Man there seems to be a bunch of registering and downloading to get up and running, but it seems to be well worth it.

This is a good demo. I would warn folks that using Windows machines, there can be a lot of adjusting the default settings on your computer. Also I am not able to use both channels at the same time, even after increasing the buffer size, and going through all of the trouble shooting doccumentation from Focusrite, this seems to be a problem with the unit needing too much current from the computer's USB port to drive both inputs, the result is if you use two channels, one of the channels will be distorted, even though the input levels are below the clipping level. No help from Focusrite.

This tutorial was the BEST ONE!! Thank you!

This made so much sense. Very well explained compared to these other videos. Subscribed ! Thanks so much.

I looks at so many vids... this kn is the best on how to set it up. Thank you!

Honestly the most helpful video I’ve seen on KZfaq! Super clutch man🙏🏾

THANK YOU for beginning with explaining the power source!

What if you buy it second hand off of someone with out the box?

Thank you so much i just recently purchased my 2i2 and cant wait to set it all up :)

We cant put preamp on this ?

Thank you so much for making this! Super helpful

Great Video! I'm going to buy my first audio interface and it's gonna be this one! Thank you for the explanation. Help out a lot

just got a new scarlet 2i2, thanks this tutorial was very helpful

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing. Wicked Guitar!

This tutorial answered some of my questions. Thanks.

A great video. Thanks so much. I now know how to fix the latency issues I kept getting :-)

I like your voice. It’s not what I thought I’d leave on this video but… there it is.

What an excellent tutorial, thank you so much! This was super helpful:) I wish you had a video using the Scarlett and recording with Adobe Audition. You would’ve been the best teacher. *sigh* My next search begins…lol

Interesting thanks appreciate it very much

Thank you brotha I appreciate this video it’s helping set up for my podcast

Thank you for your telling abput it and slowly and show to understand i had Subs for you

Thank you could you get pro tools as well from the Scarlett 2i2 because I just got one never mind you answer that video appreciate it

Thank you and very helpful

Thank you so much brotha really helped me out

Ive been looking for this tutorial for so long

Thank you, the video was very helpful

I keep getting this error: There was an error when closing the file "C;\ users\ early\ OneDrive\Documents\ Ableton\ Live recordings\ Temp-8 Project \samples ecorded \ 1 Audio 0001 [2020-07-14 174509]. wav" I keep getting this error in Ableton.. I can't record or anything...can you help?

Thank you 🙏 really really helpful video

Your voice sounds very good, what microphone do you use? Thank you!

Very well explained....thanks a ton :)

You’re doing a good job bro what about the 2i2 3rd gen

What's your opinion in buying a very lightly used like new Focusrite 2i2 on Facebook? What should I check to make sure everything is working well. Is it worth to buy this if there is a $60-80 reduction on price or to go buy a new one spending that extra money without taking any risk. Can you please explain the possible downside on such a purchase. So I can decide if should spend that extra dollars and buy a brand new one. Thanks. Awaiting your response

great tutorial... thank you.

Great video!!! Thanks. Does each driver take a lot of memory? I own a MacBook.

My mac is not downloading the software for whatever reason upon installation. It keeps giving me the run around, making me re-download every time; but never opening the actual software

Thank you brother life saver 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯

thank you!

Just to get it right: if I'm only recording my voice and want to hear the beat from my daw (through headphones) the only cable going from my laptop to the scarlett is a usb cable. It transfers a signal in and out? Im sorry im a tech noob, but your video was awesome and helpful!

excellent tutorial. thanks

Hi there! I have a question and I really hope that you will see this (and reply! ;-) ) because I've asked this question in various different forums but nobody has answered or those who did just told me to get a different audio interface, one with a _send & return_ loop. I hope that _you_ can help! _(It's long, so bear with me...)_ So, here's my situation: I have a microphone, an external compressor (a dbx 166) and a small Behringer USB mixer that I use as my audio interface, as it has a USB port. I'm not very happy with the mixer because, even with the gain turned down, it has quite a bit of floor noise. So I've been looking around and I think that the Scarlett 2i2 would be perfect for what I do/need. At the moment, the way I connect everything goes like this: - Microphone into the compressor - From the compressor into the mixer - From the mixer into my computer I know, this is not ideal, to use the compressor's make-up gain as my mic pre-amp. The Scarlett, from what I've read, has great pre-amps and great converters, so I'd like to use the Scarlett not only as my audio interface but also as my mic pre-amp. The question is: how can I use my compressor in this case? Since the Scarlett 2i2 has 2 seperate inputs, I was thinking about the following but I'm not sure if this would work (hence this question to you). Here's the idea: - Microphone into the 1st input of the Scarlett - From the Line Out of the Scarlett into the Compressor - From the compressor into the 2nd input of the Scarlett - Finally, from the USB output of the Scarlett into my computer and in my DAW, only select the signal coming from the 2nd input. Would this work? My fear is that what comes back from the compressor into the 2nd input, that that signal will also go out through the Line Out, back into the compressor and create a feedback. Is there a way to seperate what comes out through the Line Out? For example, the 1st input comes out on the left side of the line out and the 2nd on the right side? Can you do that on the Scalett 2i2? OK, this was long but I wanted you to know all the details and what I was thinking about, so that you could tell me what you think. Thanks for reading all this!

Can someone help me? I did a reset on my PC, so i have to reinstall the drivers. I log in and i see my product, serial number, etc. but when i click on ''drivers'' or on ''get started'' ( 3:24 ) and nothing happens, i don't know if the web is broken or something, if someone can help pls

Thank you for your time ,such a nice detailed setup for beginners like me May Allah bless you with peace

This one is the best you can get for your money. I just do my voice and it works just fine. I don't know about using it with musical instruments and so on. There's another one that is is very small. I tried it and it's garbage. There was an air sound in the back ground.

What is DAW? What is studio monitors? Can I download the driver without registration? What is ASIO?

Please confirm. FIRST install the drivers, restart computer THEN plug in the Scarlett?

There is some basic knowledge needed to understand this which I am sadly missing.

when i open sound settings to choose my input it says speakers focusrite usb instead of focusrite like i had before

So the microphone plug ins is also considered as an inst not a line category? Isn't it. That's what I saw on ur video :)

very well done. what if you aren't recording but want to play live with others online. Can you add any plug in effects to your vocals in a live situation?

I have the exact hardware as shown, had it for a year or so with no problems, then I moved and left it in storage for about a month, after which connecting it all back up again. However, now all my audio that ISN’T my live feed voice, is terrible. My music sounds distorted from its original sound, KZfaq videos are also distorted/cracking. I’ve made sure the drivers are updated, I’ve made sure my audio settings in my DAW (FL studio 20) are set to the “Focusrite USB” and I’ve made sure my audio settings in my control panel are set accordingly as well... AND I’ve tweaked with every knob I could and I still have terrible audio. 😔

Powered by 5v but has a 48v phantom power button, how does that work then?

A tutorial guru just said we should buy a unit that has a separate power source because the computer may not provide an adequate amount of power. What say ye? Like when we use condenser mics, we might experience lesser quality.

thanks. interesting. I thought I'd plug my guitar into my amp, get the effects I want, then plug in the amp to the interface, no?

Thank you, very helpful.

Hi Bro...Thank you very much for your video. That helps. Recently I bought this 2i2 2nd gen. And today i did setup 2i2 with my lap top and tried to record using micro phone on ableton live 10. For some reason 2i2 is recognising my mic after switching on the phantom power. FYI..I have used quater inch jack cause i dont have XLR to connect the device. My lap top is windows 10. Could you please suggest me how to fix this issue. Except mic rest all is working fine with my 2i2 I just realized that need XLR for mic not 1/4". Thank you.

Hi:) I noticed in the comments that you know how to have effects on your voice while recording. Could you make a video explaining the process with the Scarlett 2i2? Thank you!

Hey Brian, nice guitar! Didnt know you were such a metalhead :)

Thanks mate for such informative video, i was eager to know which pro tools comes free with focusrite , alot of people say it comes free but i was always asking which version and for how many years ... thanks you clarify it deeply ... now i will buy behringer :D :D :D hahahahha

Thanks for sharing

So I downloaded the driver and focus rite control and now it won’t turn on

Hello! If I use scarlet with one dynamic XLR that do not need phantom and one that require phantom power. Is it possible to turn on phantom power only on one input? 🤔

I don’t have the bundle code any longer, I lost the box that it comes in. What should I do to get the software?

Very helpful. Thank you

Great comprehensive review, Brian. Am I correct in thinking that the second channel on this model can produce phantom power as well for a second condenser microphone.

I have installed the driver but can't find that in sound playback options....pls help

I’m a new beginner & I have already have Ableton live installed in my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 MacOS Catalina because it came with my M-audio controller so I wanted to know that if I buy this interface can I just plug it in & set it under in Ableton live 11 & just start recording? Because I don’t care about the free plugins because I know better free VST plugins that I can use with Ableton
