Focusrite are celebrating the Brazil FIFA World Cup 2014 in style.
Anyone who purchases and registers a Focusrite Scarlett Audio Interface between 1st June and 31st July will automatically beentered into the competition, and stands the chance of winning a Focusrite ISA OneMicrophone Preamp.
Choosing an audio interface can be a difficult task. With so many different models and specifications, how do you know that you're making the right choice? Of course, the best way to find out more is always to drop into our pro-music superstore in Bournemouth or give us a call on 01202 597180, and we will be happy to offer our expert recommendations based on your needs.
However, Focusrite is a name that you'll often hear us recommend, and with a range of interfaces to suit most needs, they have created a video that should make it easier for you to make an informed choice if you're considering an interface from their USB line. Simply press 'play' on the video below and then click on the image of the interface that you want to find out more about. Simples!
Focusrite's Scarlett and Saffire interfaces have been adopted by many professional and home recording artists and producers across the world. Given their price, the quality of the preamps and converters on these units have made them into two of the most popular interface ranges ever! However, whilst the Scarlett line has seen a number of new models introduced recently, the Saffire range has remained largely the same for a good few years now. So, with the newer Scarlett models providing USB 2.0 alternatives to many of the interfaces in the Saffire range, does this mean that the Saffires are edging closer towards discontinuation? Read on and we'll bust the myths and explain the differences between these popular lines...
Focusrite have just this instant announced two new USB 2.0 interfaces: the Scarlett 6i6 and 18i8. These beautiful looking devices join the existing (and very popular) family of Scarlett interfaces to make a range that should have a product to suit the needs of almost everybody!
As you can probably guess, the Scarlett 6i6 is a 6-in, 6-out device, whereas the Scarlett 18i8 is an 18-in, 8-out interface, with both being aimed at artists, producers, bands and home-studio owners. Of course, both feature a number of Focusrite's award-winning mic preamps and 24bit/96kHz conversion and both will also work with iOS devices such as the iPad using an optional Apple Camera Connection Kit (sold separately).
