Focusrite's Scarlett line of USB audio interfaces has become the go-to for countless home and professional musicians and producers seeking a powerful, yet simple-to-use studio centerpiece. For the 4th Generation of Scarlett, Focusrite has expanded these ever-popular interfaces with more functionality, like app-based control, on-board Air signal processing, and high-resolution converters originally found on high-end RedNet interfaces.
These are only some of the upgrades and features you'll find when you start recording on a Gen 4 Scarlett interface.

For each model, we highlight a feature that's universal across all Scarlett models or present on most, but that may prove particularly useful depending on your experience level and use case.

Scarlett Solo Gen 4
It's right there in the name: the Scarlett Solo Gen 4 is perfect for solo musicians, podcasters, or even audiobook narrators. With one Hi-Z input for guitar and one mic preamp on the back, plus a left and right output to feed your monitors, it offers plug-and-play operation to get your ideas recorded and out there quickly.
For those just starting out recording on their Scarlett Solo, the Dynamic Gain Halos can be a big help. These color LED rings around the channel gain knobs. They let you know if your signal is clear (green), a little hot (orange), or clipping (red). To correct, just turn down the gain til you're in the green again!
Own it for $139.99 or 6 zero-interest payments of $23.33!

Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4
Now if you've found a second host to join your podcast about vintage cereal mascots, go for the Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4. Equipped with two mic preamps, the Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 is ideal for recording two microphones simultaneously. Hi-Z 1/4" inputs on the back let you plug in a guitar, bass, or keyboard.
Just like cars, interfaces are getting safer these days, with features like Clip Safe, which automatically reduces gain on a channel that is in danger of clipping. It's perfect when your discussions about Crunchosaurus Rex get especially crispy.

Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4
You're in the big leagues now and you need an interface with big-time routing capability. Enter the Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4. Outfitted with two 4th Gen preamps -- which, did we mention, offer 69 dB of gain? -- plus four line inputs, and MIDI I/O, this one also boasts ADAT and S/PDIF I/O. That opens the door to a ton of networking possibilities!
If you're purchasing the Scarlett 16i6, you're probably into plug-ins and/or outboard gear. What if we told you that Scarlett Gen 4 models have two on-board Air circuits? There's the analog clarity-enhancing Presence circuit, or you can use the DSP-based Harmonic Drive circuit to add punch and warmth.

Scarlett 18i16 Gen 4
Taking things a bit further now is the Scarlett 18i16 Gen 4. This one adds two more front-mounted 4th Gen preamps with combi jacks, meaning you can simultaneously record four vocalists with Air-enhanced vocals, or host a panel discussion on the rise and fall of Milton the Toaster.
Something that we think Scarlett 18i6 Gen 4 users would be happy to hear is that all Scarlett Gen 4 interfaces feature professional-grade 24-bit/192 kHz converters for pristine tracking. In fact, these are the same converters used in Focusrite's top-shelf RedNet series of audio interfaces!
