Hi, thanks for reaching out. Are you referring to the Samsung Galaxy S22? If so, unfortunately, Vocaster has only been tested and proven to work with Mac, Windows, and iOS devices. It is possible that Vocaster could work with the s22, but we cannot guarantee compatibility, and you would likely need to use a powered USB hub because the phone cannot provide enough power to the interface. Please let us know if this makes sense or if we can answer additional questions.

@@FocusriteTV Hi, yes. I will try with a USB hub. Also chatting to live support. Will let you know. Thank you for looking at comments!

Scarletts can be connected to compatible Mac, iOS, and Windows devices. If you have questions about connecting to your computer, please reach out to our support team at the link below: bit.ly/FocusriteSupport

Vocaster will feature similar latency performance to Scarlett, and you should have no problem adding effects in your DAW to your signal. Vocaster will feature additional features, like microphone enhancements, and a mute button, but it should be noted the input signal of the microphones will be sent to the outputs when the mic is not muted. Please let us know if this helps or if we can answer additional questions.

@@FocusriteTV and u cant mute monitors for example to hear only in headphones while recording?

My apologies for the confusion. The monitors can be muted to only hear in headphones while recording. On Vocaster, the input mic(s) signal will always be monitored through the outputs, and this cannot be switched off. If you think this would cause an issue in your workflow, then we recommend Scarlett. Please let us know if this makes sense.

@@FocusriteTV now i understand everything very well. Thank u! But maybe you should think bout update to make it possible to take off mic from monitoring. Because for programs like discord its a bit of crap

Specifically which Focusrite product do you have? For some models, a small amount of play is normal and won't impact the functionality or performance.

If the device's controls are working well, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. But if you think your device may be damaged, you should reach out to our support team for assistance. They can be reached here: bit.ly/FocusriteSupport

Yes, Focusrite USB interfaces are tested and proven to work with iOS devices, you just may need to provide additional power to the interface. More info on how to make this connection work can be found here, but please let us know if we can answer additional questions. support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360012532199-Connecting-your-USB-C-iPad-with-your-Audio-Interface

And have to add that the Neve VR is probably one of my favourite desk out there.

The 1/4" jack portion of the input is designed for connecting instruments (Inst) and line-level (Line) signals. The Line/Inst control can be used to prime the 1/4" input to receive one of these signals, providing a suitable gain range to work with.

Vocaster Two also allows two-way connection via cable or Bluetooth to a compatible phone, letting you record interviews or other audio from your phone to your computer or camera. You will need to connect speakers/headphones directly to Vocaster's outputs to hear playback from Vocaster. When in use, all audio passes through Vocaster. PC Speakers connected to your PC would utilise your computers own internal soundcard.

Hi, thank you for reaching out and we apologize for the confusion you are experiencing. This article provides full compatibility information for Focusrite devices with USB ports, and Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports. However, please let us know if we can answer additional questions. support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115000137805-Focusrite-compatibility-with-USB-3-1-and-Thunderbolt-ports

@@FocusriteTV Yes a few questions! Im wanting to set up the Clarett x as stand alone as a slave to my 18i20 3rd gen. I want to set it to ADAT via FRC and then use it purely as a slave unit. The computer I have access to is 13th gen Intel and has Thunderbolt. I bought the apple adapter thats Thunderbolt 2 to USBC and it still didnt work in Thunderbolt control or FRC. what do I need to get the 13 gen Intel Thunderbolt 3/4 to recognize the clarette for 10 min so I can set it as ADAT slave!? Is there any other way I can sett it as stand alone without the FRC???

Specifically what kind of port are you trying to connect to? Have you installed the driver? This is included with the installation of Focusrite Control - downloads.focusrite.com/focusrite/clarett/clarett-8prex On macOS, Clarett Thunderbolt audio interfaces can be connected to Thunderbolt 3/4 ports using an Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter with Thunderbolt cable (this has the same connector but is different to a 'Mini DisplayPort' cable. Always check for the Thunderbolt logo). To connect to a Windows PC, you will need a computer with Thunderbolt 3 port. Thunderbolt 1 and 2 systems aren't supported, but may work and Thunderbolt 4 systems are not officially supported. Your Clarett will function standalone. Using Focusrite Control on a compatible computer will allow you to determine how the inputs and outputs are routed when used standalone.

@@FocusriteTV downloaded all drivers on a brand new 2023 laptop and no dice. Sold it last night, Thunderbolt is definitely a fad technology and ill be sticking with usb interfaces. Its a shame because I loved the layout of the x pre. I loved the seperate phantom power, air and cut off buttons. I bought a brand new gen 3 1820 but was looking for a slave unit. Any recommendations that work standalone as well?

We're sorry to hear that you had these problems. If you ever encounter any similar issues, you can just give us a call or use Live Chat for real-time support. The optical ADAT connectivity can be used with any ADAT compatible device. In addition to our OctoPre expansion units, If you're enjoying 18i20, you may want to consider a second, Refurbished 18i20, operating standalone - focusrite.com/products/scarlett-18i20-refurbished

Yes, Air can be turned on/off for the 8 microphone/line inputs using Focusrite Control. The Air light will not be illuminated for inputs that don't have it enabled, and air does not effect ADAT inputs, or S/PDIF inputs. Please let us know if this makes sense or if we can answer additional questions.

Hi, thanks for reaching out, this is absolutely possible. You would just need to put one of the 18i20s into standalone mode. More info on how to do this can be found in this article, but please let us know if we can answer additional questions. support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115003394169-Using-Standalone-Mode-to-increase-your-channel-count

That's awesome to hear! We're thrilled that we could help you discover Lower Than Atlantis 🙌🙏

Thanks for you support! Afraid we don't have any news to share on that at the moment. If we were to create something like that, are there any particular features that you would like to see?

@@FocusriteTV I do have the Clarrett+ and I love it, but I would love to see 32 bit recording in the next generation.

It's probably best if you give us a call or use LiveChat so that we can help you set this all up - bit.ly/CallFocusriteSupport

The Bandlab team have created a handy article that explains how to reduce noticable latency when working with Bandlab - help.bandlab.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002959414-How-do-I-troubleshoot-latency If you're working with Scarlett, you can also use the direct monitoring feature to hear the signal from your inputs in real-time, without any noticeable latency.

Vocaster features a 70dB gain range that is generally enough to work with any mic. It also has an Auto Gain feature that you can use to automatically set an appropriate gain level.

Unlike the larger models in the range, Scarlett Solo 4th Gen doesn't feature Auto Gain and Clip Safe.

We apologise for any disappointment this may have caused. Unfortunately, we had to end development support for our Saffire FireWire devices at the end of 2019, approximately 10 years after their release. Generally speaking, we offer a minimum of 2 years of development support when a product is discontinued. In the case of Saffire, we were able to extend this support to over 5 years. Similarly, the VRM Box was discontinued several years ago and is not officially compatible with any operating systems released after OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Changes to current operating systems have resulted in incompatibility issues that we are unable to address. However, your products should continue to function well if used with a compatible operating system.

@FocusriteTV Thank you, I didn't expect to get an answer from you here... but hey... I understand you can't keep tweaking an old driver forever, but you could release the source code to the open-source community. I'm sure they would make the necessary tweaks to make it work again. Also it would be really nice of you... I'm sure your customers would be grateful.

Hailey is working with Logic Pro in this video but Scarlett can be used with any digital audio workstation (DAW).

Using your argument, capturing higher frequencies present in the audio source would, in fact, result in a more accurate recording of the audio source

@@jomama3839Yep 😂 Seems like the more smug the argument is presented as, the dumber the argument is 🙄

They should just say it captures higher frequencies. A 'more accurate recording' implies higher resolution.

@@StuffnSuch There's smug and there's facts.

@@giabgr Sorry, but no...the statement is factual and correct. What you read into it is on you. However, even with you reading "resolution" into the statement, It's still correct. From Science Direct - "Sampling rate specifies how often the conversion takes place. A faster sampling rate will provide a better representation of the original signal" and "High sampling rates allow more accurate capture of the peak values of the analog signal. This leads to a more precise analog-to-digital conversion. This provides not only a better time base resolution but also good resolution in the frequency domain". Do any research anywhere and you'll find the same. If you disagree past that, I don't know what to tell you.

No, higher sample rates simply capture higher frequencies. Google 'digital audio myths'.

Clarett is a different range of interfaces than the Scarlett range. The main differences are mic input levels (Clarett is about double that of Scarlet) and maximum frequency response (Clarett 20Hz to 38kHz and Scarlett 20Hz to 20kHz)

I have both and I would say yes. Ensure that you have great hardware like capable pc, good monitors and good headphones, mic and cables, drivers, and it's you will become a fidelity fanatic.

Yes. Clarett+ features superior specifications throughout. We'd certainly expect you to notice a difference.

@@FocusriteTVjust got a Clarett+ 8pre last week and I love it 👍

That's great to hear! 🙌🙏

When you are monitoring directly through your interface, or through Focusrite Control, there is unfortunately no way to add effects to this signal. However, it is possible to monitor through your DAW and this will monitor the signal with effects, but may result in latency. If you need more info on how to do this in your DAW of choice please let us know!

@@FocusriteTV thank alot for the quick response! (:

Drums are typically recorded with more than one microphone. But if you are looking for a single recording microphone source, then yes this would work! However, this device is no longer in production, so you would need to look for a used model. If you are looking for a Scarlett interface to work with a phone, you can look into our latest Scarlett models, they are tested and proven to work with iOS devices. us.focusrite.com/scarlett
