I want to be in the witness protection program as well because I feel like my life and my safety is in massive jeopardy because of the fact I'm LGBT. Sign me up for witness protection or any type of protection where I can be hidden away from the public but still live my life and no one has to know where I live or any of that stuff
IMO the only really significant update is the relocation of the mic inputs to the back where they belong. I've been shouting this from the rooftops for like 15 years. Glad someone finally did it.

@@xseptit budget means anyt value you set your price point, 200$ is still budget no matter how u look at it. Now if you put the word Low with budget, then yeah 200$ isnt LOW budget... Its more midtier budget.
Reid, I've been watching you since 2019 and you're the most fun channel related to music production, EVER!! Loved the review. I adore the puppets, keep doing the great work.
Thank god they implemented loop back functionality on the 2i2 with the 4th edition! Has been there for the bigger interfaces, but not for the 2i2 till now. 💪
It looks and sounds like the new 4th generationScarlet 2i2 is going to retain its championship as the most popular and the number #1 budget audio interface. it has set the bar even higher for the competition.
1:50 Yes, yes, yes! 💯 Finally! Inputs/Outputs on a desktop interface like that belong at the back. (Actually I'd wish, all ports would be at the back. But having the XLR ports there is the most important for me.)
how can a puppet explain all these changes and upgrades so much better than most reviewers out there. keeping it so simple to understand and none of those mambo-jambo jargon terms only level 90+ audiophile wizards can understand., enjoyed watching the whole thing!
the direct monitoring button has zero perceivable latency for you to hear your dry mic directly as you record regardless of your buffer size settings in your DAW
My channel has some free software that can measure latency. Also the monitor button may not be zero latency, but a low latency digital signal. At least that was what I saw on my Motu M4.
Great vid. I made a decision of buying a Volt 2 based on your video comparing the 3th gen 2i2 with the Volt 2. Would like to hear your opinion on how the 4th gen compare with the Volt 2. Keep up the excelent work!
Just because someone tells you “this preamp is better blah blah” they all do the same basic function and good at it… don’t lose your creativity to whatever you’re doing because of gear
@@bobbyxsteevbeats thank you, man. I completely agree with you. Gear doesn't make music, but I also believe we should invest our money in the best gear possible inside our given budget. I already own the volt 2 and I'm pretty happy with it.
@@brunobarros5034 why fix something that isn't broken? I love focusrite for being consistent with the new gear but stuff like this can put people in a gear frenzy when you don't need to replace anything yet.
I can tell the difference with earbuds a little. The recording on Gen 3 has some sort of weight to the recording. So you can tell it was some work done to the recording to have it sit in the mix. The recording done on Gen 4 sounds like it naturally sits in the mix even after the mixing chain is added. Yea some changes have been added. I now want to update.
luv ur reviews man, wud love for you to cover some of the soundtoys plugins. so much creativity in stuff like echoboy but theres very little videos online fully covering everything in a comprehensible way like you do
Reid my bro, i have to tell you, your sample packs legit af 💯 ive been beatin up like the same 3 disrespectful 808’s for a while and i still get asked by higher profile producers yo… what 808 is that? 😂😁🙏🏻 thanks for helping supply me with the tools I need to succeed 🔥
Great video! I Like how new scarlett looks! now im wondering have you tested it with universal audio volt series? which is cleaner for headphone output in bass and low mids?
Hmm the GEN 4 seems to have bass cut slightly less punch from what I'm hearing through the video at least. Clarity wise seems to be quite close to each other.
Been using the two input one since January. Works well enough to get stuff done for me. Def would use better equipment for a more serious thing that people would analyze every aspect of
I recently got rid of my old focusrite interface and upgraded to a steinberg, the difference is night and day, steinberg created ASIO so it runs perfectly with ASIO drivers and makes for almost 0 latency, I loved my 2i2 while it lasted but the it was literally causing blue screens so idk, to each their own
They do sound different but not sure if the 4th Gen is better than the 3rd Gen. On the vocals I can hear a little more clarity/transparency on the 4th Gen but think the 3rd Gen has perhaps more body? It would be interesting to hear the same test done with a condenser mic. Could the 4th Gen sound a little too toppy....or even harsh as a result of its extra clarity/transparency I wonder??
I didn't hear anything worth another hundred bucks. The automatic parts are things I don't want, it takes away control from the user and might not be so great. 3rd Gen is what I bought because of its simplicity vs the others that have way too many bells and whistles and software I'll never use.
If you are faced with this 2 scenerio which would you prefer or go for. Option 1 is tracking with an Apollo twin x using universal audio prepamps and compressors for traking in or Option 2 Using an Audient ID44 mkii with real analog compressors as inserts for tracking. Which would you go for if you are tracking vocals, saxophone, bass and guitar and mixing 100% in the box without UAD plugins
The analog gear would sound better even if you pumped the signal into a cheaper interface. The miniature preamp components within interfaces can’t compete with the full size preamps within dedicated preamps
what I'm confused by for the 2i2 is, since the XLR and instrument jacks are now seperate, what happens if i connect two microphones and 2 guitars? what will the preamps do? can I record 4 tracks at once like that? I know it's called "2input", but I count 4
@@dillonjohnlane i read the manual and it indeed repeatedly says that the front jacks disable the back xlr's. I ordered the 4i4 regardless, but yeah it irked me.
Am I the only one who thinks the 3rd generation sounds better? When the samples switch to the 4th generation, a midrange suckout appears, and sounds unpleasant. It also sounds dead.
I am wondering now about the signal path he used for each unit. I'm thinking that the 4th generation can't be that bad! But, it appears that way. @@xanderlurks
You mention that you prefer to have 5v power cable plugged. My question is: when you turn off your computer, does Scarlett also turn off, without the need to unplug 5v usb power cable? I’ve heard that people complain that they have to unplug 5v cable to turn off the focusrite.
Yes it will continue to power on with regular USB power. The extra 5v is just assistance to better supply all the more demanding internal components with more electricity consistently
listening with a pair of hifiman edition XS on a schiit magnius/modius stack balanced i couldnt pick out any conclusive differences in the audio samples provided... also woulda liked to see the rear IO as i didnt see any XLR ports up front
The knobs that you can control with your app need to be infinite spin because they’re digital. The rest of the knobs are traditional analog because they don’t need to be controlled via the app
For some reason, and it seems im not the only one, when i bring up the headphone volume slowly - the left earcup is much louder than the right. Do you know why? it has to be the interface but it is new.
Hello, I bought a sound box and where is the headphone adjustment knob I have a slight play, as if the knob itself doesn’t sit well, is it how it should be or is it just me?
So every time I want to plug in an XLR mic I have to go around to the back? No thanks, I’ll stick with the older gen. My interface is screwed to the bottom of my desktop.
Are you able to Test if you can play backing tracks from your 'Samsung Phone' VIA the USB C port, I do this on my Solo Gen 3 and it works perfectly out through my monitors, I just dont want to buy this product and realize that Focusrite have changed something.
@@ReidStefanMusic those are inputs? I thought they were outputs this whole time... I'm so confused because how do people connect their studio monitors if those are line ins? I wish I got a clearer understanding of the ports...
the speaker outputs are on the back. The XLR inputs are also on the back. The front has quarter inch inputs for guitar or line level audio, plus one headphone output@@ProdDJD
@@ReidStefanMusic and what about for the 3rd gen, because I have it and there are no ports in the front for bypassing the preamps :( sorry if I'm asking so much but I'm lost at how the comparison would work if it's only a feature on the gen 4
Hello. I wanted to ask. I bought KRK classic 5 and i have creative zxr sound card. But it has some strange scratching and popping noises sometimes, should i upgrade it to scarlet gen 4? For movies, games and music? I dont produce. Thanks.
@ReidStefanMusic Hi Reid, I've been wanting to purchase a Neumann MT48 for a while but feel it's been a little much. I recently sold both an Apollo x6 and a Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen because of disappointing sound quality, especially the outputs on the Scarlett. I've read and heard that the MT48 is like beyond comparison much better than both the x6 and 2i2. How well would you say this new 4th 2i2 fares against the MT48? I'm using an SM7b and Genelec 8020D's. Think I'll get an MT48 eventually anyhow, but interested in your opinion. Thank you
please tell me, I am facing the choice of an audio interface. My tasks are: streaming with an xlr studio dynamic microphone, voiceover, and listening to music with good headphones for a bit. I am interested in the audio interface where the best output sound quality and stable software are best. The price is up to $ 200. I am considering options: focusrite 2i2 4 gen, universal audio volt2 (there is also interest in 276, but it costs $ 270 already) and motu m2. In terms of accessibility, this is focusrite, judging by the reviews and especially because of the vintage sound, this is volt 2, but there are also many people who prefer motu. Well, a small addition, I considered the arturia minifuse 2 and Audient id4 mkll options, but judging by the reviews and the videos I watched, they have good sound, but not the best like these 3 models. Can you tell me which of these models would be best in your opinion and why?
If you’re streaming, then Focusrite’s built-in audio loopback feature should be essential to you. id choose the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen over any other $200 interface for that feature alone. I make tutorials so interfaces without internal digital loopback are somewhat useless to me
@@ReidStefanMusic Thank you so much for your answer, I probably hold the same opinion, and in general I really liked the sound of the new Scarlett. As well as my friend, who is engaged in amateur recording of songs and mixing uses Scarlett too. And so I accidentally came across your video about Scarlett and after watching a couple of videos, I can say that you have cool content that deserves a million subscribers. Good luck in reaching this figure!😉
This interface has both USB bus power and an extra USB C power cable for guaranteed electrical consistency. USB bus power alone isn’t the best choice especially for tracking vocals with microphones that require 48v phantom power source
@@micheleg.2244 USB ports can sustain some small power output, it’s not as powerful or consistent as a dedicated power cable. Not only is it responsible to power all the components inside your interface, but also a microphone. It becomes too demanding and potentially causes glitches, pops, dropouts, disconnection and errors while you record
Can a rode NT1 5th generation and audio technica ATH M 50 headset both fit in this interface? Or are the plugs built for certain equipment? Cuz I’m Trina get these 3 things
