Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (2nd Gen) Review & Audio Test - Audio Mentor

[@XRayTube]

Awesome video Reuben!! Looking forward to better audio on my gaming channel. I ordered mine on amazon arriving tomorrow. Upgrading from a Tascam mini studio.

[@smguy7]

Thank you! I just bought a Scarlett 6i6 2nd Gen and this was very helpful. Thanks for your work.

[@abrara9558]

I watched so many videos to figure out what i need. Finally you were so clear and specific, i can go ahead and get this beast. I need 6i cuz I have my keyboard , mic and 3rd guitar input . Always good to have that extra Line in/out buffer. Thanks!

[@Blaydrnnnr]

I know this is an old video, but Ive been using an old tone port UX2 for a very long time, and looking to upgrade. I've been trying to decide which interface I'd like to use, and this video was very helpful in showing me what it can do. I really appreciate you taking time to show it.

[@reubenchng]

I'm glad it helped you!

[@louiepialago]

What a great review man! I can't wait to get my hands on this thing. It should get here in a week. Thanks!

[@reubenchng]

Looking forward! Let me know how it goes

[@louiepialago]

will do (y)

[@ricjenner1120]

Just snagged one off eBay. I actually like the dedicated power supply - my portable setup doesn’t handle a lot of bus power on the laptop ports well, so less stress that the sound will fall out mid set.

[@reubenchng]

That's actually a good point.

[@notaensilencio]

Niceeeeeeeeee. I was wondering if I buy this or another one but I think I'll try this one. I was worried about latency cause I read that USB connection is the lowest one, buuut solved. New subscriber (and it is not the only video I've watched)

[@adriancressy8363]

Hi.. nice video i learned much but can i know what kind app you use to recond music? And does focusrite 6i6 can made the voice clean with out much more echoes and reverbs? Thank you

[@sachimohanbarman6476]

thank you for your video. I have a question. Can i record four track at a time separately and mix all when edit?

[@reubenchng]

why of course you can. :)

[@nachocabrera]

Hello Reuben Chng, I have a Pre Amp ISA One by Focusrite and I want to conect this device with 6i6 via SPDIF. Do you know about this posibility ? My pre amp microphone have a great sound and signal. Can be 6i6 give a great sound while trasferring the audio ? Thank you !

[@SohailHasanMallikOfficial]

The audio and the midi is connected but the usb is not configured... The mix control is saying no hardware ditected, please help... And the headphone 2 is not working... Don't know why

[@tolisgamer]

It came to me two weeks ago and I loved it!

[@PhilZeGerman]

Nice video and awesome accent man! :D I am looking to buy a "beginners" setup just so I can record some vocals over already recorded music or maybe set up something simple to record ideas in the practise room. I was thinking of going with the 2i2 + CL 1 Cloud Lifter + Shure SM7b, since that seems to be the common way to go. Now I was wondering, since I am looking at a 6i6 for almost the same price as the 2i2 online right now, is more in thise case better? Like what exactly does the 6i6 offer more than the 2i2? Can I plug in more microphones or is it only the additional midi and line inputs? It looks like the pre-amp inputs are only two as well, right? Can I use the line ins on the back to record say a guitar or something if I channel it through a guitar amp? Or would that be too much or sound like crap for some reason? Thanks in advance and have a great weekend! Cheers from Germany

[@reubenchng]

PhilZeGerman the 6i6 would give you more recording options. Yes, you could plug in a guitar behind and play it. Only pet peeve about it is that it must be adapter powered.

[@mothergoose4231]

[@gardnerc]

Thanks for this review - very helpful!

[@Raveemishrra]

Hello...Your review about focusrite scarlett 6i6 2nd gen was really awesome...But i just wanted to know whther it would support Ox Yosemite ??

[@SINARTISTIX]

Should I go for the 2i4 or the 6i6? Am I able to use the 6i6 without using MixControl at all? I already have Ableton and i don't want to deal with another software. I just want to record my instruments (guitar, bass, midi Keyboard) and use my SP404sx as an external effect. But also I want to buy something future-oriented, because of possible additions to my gear. All i'm interested in are the I/O. It woudn't be that bad, if i had to change the cabels often, but if the 6i6 works without MixControl i think i would spend the 50 more bucks for the comfort, not always having to change the cabels. Thank you for your help! I hope it's understandable.

[@p.youngz4761]

cool video! 👍🏽 i have a question, what cables did yu use for your speakers, are they 1/4 jacks or something else. thank you

[@leaningtower73]

From the 6i6 you need a TRS jack male connector for each output (1, 2, 3 and 4) on the back. By TRS I mean a balanced output. On the other end of the balanced cable you can either have an XLR male or TRS jack male connector. Hope this helps

[@popewise]

thanks man..it was helpful.i was going to make a mistake in buying since am a mobile music making guy.Which alternative would you recomend

[@reubenchng]

A great alternative is the Komplete Audio 6. Check that one out

[@michaelpaul5801]

great video! thank you for this, i really needed to see this ESPECIALLY comparing to KA6 which i have!! wanted to compare the 2 to see which was better for me!! cheers

[@reubenchng]

Thanks! Which one did you go for in the end?

[@destineeone]

Hello, I am considering purchasing this item used for $270 Canadian. I know this is a slightly older model, however I was wondering if you would recommend me purchasing this item even in 2021 for that price? I will be using Logic Pro X. Also I am running on a Hackintosh system currently with the old Sierra 10.12 but will be upgrading to Big Sur 11 once Serato is stable on that OS. Please let me know your thoughts. I would appreciate it.

[@reubenchng]

If you're wondering about compatibility I think that's fine. Apart from the newer USB-C and the AIR feature on the 3rd gen - the 2nd gen is still a safe pick.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I just found one of these really cheap used on eBay. I've already got a Focusrite 8i6 (1st Gen) but I'm dying for a second headphone jack! I work with my friend and I've had to use a double adapter lately. I use Logic too.

[@soundbringerstudios2885]

I'm very new to this type of device so I'm wondering - If I'm using a midi controller and Maschine which both connect to my computer via usb, would the 6i6 be ideal for then adding bass guitar straight into a program, vocals or hand percussion, etc - so that I can have the electronic beats playing in Maschine on the software while jamming along to it as well? Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks for the great review!

[@nellNdaughter]

Hey Reuben!! Would it be possible to do a side by side audio comparison between the komplete 6 and 6i6, say you open a project in your daw with some vst's, which one has the better latency? Record some vocals/or guitar or any live instruments just so we can compare the sound of both!? I've seen so many ppl asking 6i6 vs Komplete 6 , aside from the road aspect (personally, it woulnd be a big deal on the road to plug the powersupply of the scarlett so it's not the main factor imo), Which one would you recommand in terms of quality/latency/stability. My biggest fear in playing live is having the audio glitch / crash while performing. Is there one less likely to do so ?! Thanks !!!!

[@djcaymann]

Nell music I'm still choosing between the 6i6 and the komplete audio 6. Since you have them both, can you compare them? Tnx in advance Reuben.

[@nellNdaughter]

?? dunno if you tried to copy and paste something in the comments. I did see someone else asking this question below but the reply was irrelevant to me (don't mind the Ac adaptor)

[@TheOracleSQL]

Hi Appreciate if can help me. Here is my problem. I have a Focusrite 6i6 and Yamaha MX49 synthesizer and Micrphone. I am using Cubase9. Before i have a microphone, i used to connect MX49 directly to computer. Now I connected everything through Audio interface. Here is my setup details. 1)Microphone is connected to Audio interface XLR on the front side 2)Connected two MIDI ports of MX49 to Audio interface on the back 3)Connected Monitor jack to back side of interface 4)Connected a wire between MX49 output and Audio interface XLR front panel. When i am sing and play the keyboard i can listen on the monitors both the things but when i am trying to record it on the cubase only the input from microphone is recorded but not keyboard. Note:Keyboard click signals are being displayed in the toolbar of cubase I have been trying it from past 2-3 days. Searching on the forums but no luck. I can share the picture if you need it. Appreciate if you can help on this. Please let me know if you need any inputs from my side. Thanks KVB

[@ChristoEbenhaezer]

Can 6i6 stand alone? Coz it is need power supply to turn on, so can i use this, plug in my condenser and connect to speaker, without a computer and daw program? Thanks

[@juanbedon]

Does all 2nd gen need the power supply cable? Also, does the 48v button works only for the left xlr input or also the right one? Thanks for the review :)

[@reubenchng]

Starting with the 6i6 and above, you'll need a power adapter. It's included though. Thanks for watching. ;)

[@davidbenasulin]

Hello, there. Nice review!!I’ve just bought a 6i6 and I’m using an access virus synth for Midi but I would also like to play the original synth sounds and record them and this is were I have a problem... I’m missing something because I don’t hear the Virus inbox sounds. I’ve plugged the synth in line inputs on the back of the Focusrite... on my DAW (logic X) I’ve put input 3 - 4 so...what am I missing ? Thanks

[@mange2]

So if all 6 inputs were used, do they show up as 6 separate tracks in the DAW? I cant seem to find this answer anywhere for any audio interface. Thanks.

[@reubenchng]

On the scarlett 6i6, there are four simultaneous audio inputs. The other two inputs refer to the MIDI in and SPIF in

[@spykerdelia555tahn2]

2 mic pre in, 2 line in and 1 S/PDIF stereo in (considers 2 digital in). MIDI is only a pass through, not an audio source, so don’t consider as part of 6in6out...

[@TechnoMusicFreaks]

Which one is better the KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 or the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (I saw you have both) I'm producing techno, and tech house music.

[@reubenchng]

TechnoMusicFreak i think the Scarlett 6i6 is better in terms of pre-Amps, however since you're into edm and probably will do live shows, the komplete audio 6 is bus powered and have lots of connectivity options.

[@rjhobbes6441]

great little video. I just bought one of these as i was hoping to record 4 inputs into garage band on mac at one time and i beleived this would do it, but i can only seem to do two at one time. Is that right? Only opened it last night so trying to trawl through the net for how to use instructionals! the downloaded documents from focusrite aren't helping too much. I am a bit of a novice.

[@rjhobbes6441]

cool thanks Reuben, will check it out, i think i have that loaded so might be coming back again. really appreciate your response ta.

[@laverne506]

Hi how did you setup your input and output and your mixer also.Thank You

[@iMaxos]

I am getting this one, I can't wait to have it. Do you think I can route an sm57 through a compressor and eq and broadcast that live? or would the plugins add too much latency for live use?

[@reubenchng]

I think if you're going live, you could try using voicemeeter.

[@conga205]

Great video. I'm just starting to learn about recording, and have the 6i6, an Alesis Q88 midi controller, a Rolland kit, and other instruments. My question is this: How do I get sound from my Q88? I'm working in Reaper, and am just learning how to use it. Thanks in advance for any help you (or anyone else out there) can offer.

[@andywray2170]

great review thank you very much just what i needed

[@freenfinity]

Why they say it has 6 inputs when there are only 2 in the front and 2 in the back? And ok 1 S/PDIF input what I dont even know what it does. But even if that is also some kind of input, its still 5 not 6 inputs, isnt it? I thought 6 inputs means 6 instruments like mics, guitars, keyboards etc., but I see only 4 I can plug in.. what I am doing wrong?

[@_CharlieHarper]

I have got a question : can you record like using both front XLR Combos 1 and 2 (simultaneously) - but I mean having 48V Phantom microphone in XLR (1) for voice recording, and at the same time recording an electric guitar connected to XLR (2) which is not 48V Phantom (obviously). I can see just one 48V Phantom button. Does this button control XLR (1) or XLR (2)? Or does it control both? Or can this be set in the "Focusrite Control software"? I do not want to record just two 48V Phantom microphones, or just two instruments. I need to make "combined" recordings". Can anyone answer this question for me? Thanks.

[@alphabeats1937]

I just purchased it to work with my NT1A mic. Does this preamp connect to the computer VIA usb?

[@NewGoldStandard]

I've had my 6i6 for a several months now. One of the reasons I chose it over the Native Instruments Audio 6 was the external power supply. If you plan on being mobile that would obviously be a negative, but if you're just using it in your home studio, I think it's better to have a dedicated power supply for powering the phantom power and other features. I have a friend who has the Audio 6 and he's never had any issues, but I'd still rather my interface had a dedicated power supply. I don't know, maybe I'm just superstitious. Regardless, the Focusrite works wonderfully. I'm using it with Reason and have it set to the lowest possible latency setting and I never experience any issues at all. If you're on the fence, buy it. You won't regret it.

[@sanuchakraborty7271]

Just confused between scarlett 6i6 2nd gen OR Presonus Studio 68 !!!! Which one will be best for home based professional recording??? Any suggestion.....i use Cubase LE version #####

[@reubenchng]

Sanu Chakraborty Scarlett nicer preamps in my personal view. More I/O with the 6i6. Studio 68 is bus powered

[@sanuchakraborty7271]

[@davidwimble9907]

Helpful, thanks!

[@rmzzz76]

Can you plug into all six inputs and send to six separate channels in Pro Tools, then record all six channels at the same time? For example, if I have a drum machine plugged into inputs 1&2 a rhythm guitar in channel 3, a vocal mic in channel 4, a lead guitar in channel 5 and a bass in channel six and the whole band is playing can I record all of them on separate tracks and capture the live performance?

Hello everyone.. I have a problem with my Buffer size setting, it just showed me the latency from 10.0ms to 20.0 instead of 1.0ms to 20.0ms. So I am stuck with 10.0ms as the lowest latency. I already updated the Scarlett mix control, but the new version 1.9 is even worse. It doesn't show me any choice to change the buffer size, so I decided to reinstall the version 1.8. But till now I can't get back my normal buffer size setting from 1.0ms to 20.0ms. Hope you guys could help me to solve this problem.

[@reubenchng]

W0LF-G4MIN-X to be honest, I think you'll barely hear the difference in the output. It does have headphone outputs which are decent, however it's not made as an audiophile device.

[@OLDM4N-DE]

Well, is there a device that would make the sound really a lot better ? Do you know other devices like that. Just a few weeks ago, before I changed to Mac, i had my PC which had a real good Soundcard and a nice 5.1 Box-Set. And that stuff had the right sound. Really a lot Bass and good sound all around. Was no professional thing, but man it had great sound. And although.I have to admit, that the iMac (late 2015) has a not bad sound, considering its size, but its nowhere near what I had. And I really love good sound. Any way to get that on iMac ?

Of course, thats why its called a 6i6 - 6 inputs and 6 outputs. basically thats 3 stereo channels you can get. You just need a DAW where you assign which channel is going to which output. Piece of cake.

[@Potterzilla]

On my Focusrite control I dont have any controls to disable the direct monitoring. In case I'm not saying it right, what I want to do it eliminate the two front mic signals from coming out on my monitors 1-4. On the 2i2 there is a physical switch on the front to disable direct monitoring. I have read the Software's pdf multiple times and I am still lost, maybe I'm just missing something, if you could point me in the right direction that would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

is this also useful if I want to play in a bar ?'? I want record and play live tell me please

This interface sucks, do not buy it! The Monitor control knob that controls the volume only controls the output volume of output 1 and 2, if you have a second pair of speakers in outputs 3 and 4, you have to lower the volumes of outputs 3 and 4 from the Focusrite control software. However when you lower the speakers on the software it also lowers the volumes on your headset. So if you have headphones connected in the front outputs and you lower the volumes in the software for outputs 1 and 2 it lowers the volume on the front headset of output 1... if you lower the volume in the software for outputs 3 and 4 it also lowers the volume of the front headset output 2. SO If you are recording vocals at home and need to cut off the volumes of the speakers and just use the headphones, you cant use the interface to lower all your speakers, you gotta physically get up and turn off each studio monitor speaker, if you use the software it will cut off all sounds coming from the speakers it will also do it to the headphones as well... the physical monitor knob on the front of the interface only controls output 1 and 2... this is the dumbest thing about this interface...
