Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 2nd Gen: Compact all-rounder

If you're a musician, producer, or a member of a small band, then the Focusrite Scarlett is a great choice. You can use it to record audio from different sources, like drums, guitar, keyboard or vocals. Because the latency is so much lower than that of the previous model, you'll also find that real-time recording is easy as pie. You won't have to deal with delays, and the response is direct and natural. The combined XLR/jack inputs have also been improved to be able to take on more gain, and the newly designed preamps are more compatible with higher output signals from instruments.

Digital connectors and more

You'll also find S/SPDIF and ADAT digital inputs and outputs on the 18i8. This means you can expand your interface by connecting, say, a preamplifier with 12 microphone inputs and 16 analogue inputs. Doing something like that would certainly open up your options. Furthermore, you'll find a MIDI input/output as well so you can connect your MIDI controllers and instruments. The audio interface comes with a rich assortment of recording software and audio plugins so you can get started right away with Focusrite Control putting you firmly in charge. An exclusive version of Pro Tools and Focusrite's own Creative Pack with 12 plugins including Eleven Lite are only a couple of examples of the goodies in store.

• Om du har Windows måste du installera kontrollprogrammet först. Det behövs inte om du har Mac OSX då Scarlett 18i8 är "class compliant" med Mac.
