In this video review you will get an overview of the 2i2, 6i6 & 18i20 main features. Watch to also hear an example song recorded exclusively with these three Scarlett interfaces in Pro Tools with no plug-ins or post mixing processes - hear how good the mic preamps sound in a static mix.

Included Free Focusrite Plug-ins With Scarlett Interfaces

Each unit in the Scarlett range include a good selection of free third party plug-ins alongside the Focusrite Red 2 & 3 Plug-in Suite - Watch the Pro Tools Expert Focusrite Red 2 EQ & Red 3 Compressor plug-in review.

Final Thoughts

Both Dan & James feel that these second generation Scarlett interfaces are a big step forward in mic pre quality and overall design from the previous Scarlett range. However, both Dan, James & Georgie (vocalist in the example) feel that the low output gain the headphone pre amps produce are the weakest links in all three of these interfaces.

You are going to be hard pressed to find another interface for the money with similar mic pre quality, usability and versatility in today's market.
