In this video, I take an in-depth look at the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen, exploring its features, performance, and how you can use it in your music production setup. I demo the Focusrite Scarlett with a microphone to let you hear what vocals sound like with the new preamps including the sound of the Air and Drive settings. I also compare the Focusrite Scarlett to the Universal Audio Volt, Arturia MiniFuse, and the MOTU M2 interfaces so you can hear the difference in sound side by side. I've also tested the Auto Gain and Safe modes. This interface is good for producers, vocalists, and podcasters.

The Air + Drive is the best sound I've ever heard from a budget Audio Interface, there's no going back, it's a game changer in quality.
-
I'm a big fan of your videos. Really honest and straight forward advice which is very helpful. Very nice singing voice too!
-
I was really amazed at how vastly different the MOTU recording sounded compared to your other audio interfaces.
-
Great job Sanjay! Lots of work on your part and it is appreciated! Thanks!
-
Another great informative video. Just want to say i am proud of how far this guy has come. Best music tech videos.
-
Just like raw video, I prefer raw audio to be as flat (and of course noise free) as possible. With colorless audio, you can take it any many directions. With a particular character baked-in, it's harder to take it in another direction, if inspiration or necessity requires it. As usual, your video production is top-notch!
-
Thanks so much for including us, Sanjay! π
-
I was waiting for this review ever since this dropped! Thanks so much man!
-
3:45 using I feel it coming as a vocal example makes you an automatic legend in my book. Subbed.
-
I just bought a solo. This is a very thorough and thoughtful inside look at this product. Thank you for taking the time. Excellent, intelligent delivery. Well done.
-
THANK you for the highly detailed pro advice, Sonjay! ππ»
-
This is the first time Iβve been able to hear an audible difference between interfaces. Awesome review and performances.
-
Awesome review! And, what a voice - love, love, love! You are super talented, Sanjay C. Please sing more often.
-
Thank you. This was a brilliant review! ππ½
-
Awesome review! Your studio setup looks really cool with the white theme.
-
Superb demonstration. The differences are subtle (to my untrained ear), but I have to say, this is highly reminiscent of my experience in photography, where I don't want ANY in-camera processing, and I lament the amount of R&D cycles camera manufacturers waste trying to make their hardware produce perfect JPEGs for the point-and-shoot crowd. For crying out loud, just give me the flattest possible RAW file, I'LL sweeten it later in post, where the edits are REVERSIBLE. I was going to upgrade my original Scarlett 2i2, but the single 48V phantom power config, those gain level lights, and the unnecessary response curve gimmicks make me think I should just go with Motu. Great vocals, too, BTW. Keep up the awesome work!
-
Great video! I'm going to get the new Focusrite Gen4. They have made significant improvements with sound quality. The Air brings the sound more alive, more real!
-
Thanks for a great video. I prefer both the sound and features of the Motu M2.

I've owned a number of Focusrite interfaces, and have always recommended them to folks asking for a budget suggestion until UA announced the Volt series. The Volt is the clear winner over all of these. Either the A/D conversion is better, or it's the colour of the preamps, but the Volt has a crisper top end, and a lot more low mids than any of the others. Motu comes in second with API sounding preamps
