Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface - PMT Online

Focusrite Control iOS cannot be used to control an interface connected to your iPad, this app is a remote for the desktop version of the software. The microphone preamps and converters on the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 have very similar specs to those on my Apollo x8, with a comparable gain range of 56 dB and a maximum 24-bit/192 kHz AD/DA conversion rate. These stats more or less mean that the 18i20 is capable of recording at or above the industry standard for audio resolution at a level comparable to that of interfaces two, three, and even four times its price. While the technical reality is a bit more complicated than that, as all-in-one devices like the 18i20 often make technical compromises for the sake of saving space and cutting costs, the 18i20 should still have no trouble producing high-quality files that are up to industry spec. To connect these units, you can use a USB Type-C to C cable (not supplied), or an Apple USB-C to USB adaptor with the USB cable in the box. Scarlett 1st/2nd Gen Range:

Applies To: Scarlett 2 nd Generation 6i6, 18i8, & 18i20; Scarlett 3rd Generation and Clarett Range. There's also a monitor level control with Mute and Dim buttons. The 18i20 uses Focusrite's Scarlett MixControl software, so although input gains are hardware-controlled, the monitor, Dim and Mute controls can be accessed via software, too.

Focusrite interface? Where can I download the drivers for my Focusrite interface?

With its comprehensive connectivity, fantastic features and intuitive included software along with the best preamps ever found in the Scarlett range and improved converters the 3rd generation Scarlett 18i20 could well and truly be the heart of any professional recording studio. This article will explain how to use multiple inputs on your interface in Voice over IP (VoIP) applications that will only accept incoming audio from the first one or two audio inputs on an external audio interface. This can be useful for a number of different practices such as video lessons, conference calls, podcasting and even live streaming, where you are using more than two inputs. Another advantage of using the steps in this article to set up your audio interface is that you can have a separate mix of audio for what your VoIP audience hears, compared to what you hear in your headphones/speakers which is commonly referred to as a “Mix-minus”.Eight balanced line inputs for connecting synthesisers, drum machines, and other line-level sources Scarlett 18i20 is designed to stand up to days on the road and connects straight to your Mac® or PC via USB cable. It comes with all the software tools you need to get started: two comprehensive digital audio workstations, Ableton® Live Lite™ and Three Month Avid® Pro Tools® Subscription; Focusrite’s Red Plug-in Suite; a choice of one of four of XLN Audio’s Addictive Keys. When Custom Mix is selected it will populate this screen with the output mixer for you to set the routing: If at any point you are lost, in the top left corner of the screen you will see File > Restore Factory Defaults. This is the setting used for the following explanations. This device desperately needs hardware controls for user settings. With that, all Focusrite would really need to do to provide Linux support is to make the device USB class compliant. Unfortunately, since the driver is proprietary, the Linux driver is a reverse-engineered one that works but still has some issues, the device being as new as it is. The free/open source community will fix the driver issues in time, and the device is already quite usable, but all the troulbe make one beg the question: why make things so difficult, Focusrite?
