An audio interface that has digital expandability and MIDI connectivity is the RME Babyface, which also happens to cost five times as much. This isn’t a huge concern considering the low price of the of the Scarlett 2i2. It isn’t expandable via ADAT, and MIDI connectivity isn’t present either. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 doesn’t have any digital connectivity. Since I don’t own a PC running Windows, I can’t comment on that. With that said, people have expressed issues with driver performance under Windows. This figure is totally acceptable for a piece of audio equipment a at this price point. With the latest Mac OS X drivers from Focusrite, I get about 5 ms of latency in Pro Tools. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is USB bus-powered, so you don’t have to worry about a power cable. Notice there isn’t a connection for a power adapter anywhere. ![]() On the back of the unit, there are two TRS balanced outputs for your monitor speakers and a powered USB port to connect to your computer. In addition to the monitor volume knob, there is also a headphone output with its own volume control knob. Both preamp channels have switchable 48V phantom power. On the front of the unit, there are two XLR/TRS/TS combo jacks for microphones, guitars, and other instruments. It’s rugged enough to take with you on the road, and the included headphone output means you can work on music any time of the day without disturbing anyone. It’s the perfect unit for a small home studio setup, especially for singer-songwriters who don’t need more than two preamplifier channels at a time. Also, here is the kicker, I've had the interface working in the past as I've recorded guitar direct into Ableton with it, I just can't remember how I got it to work then.The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a portable USB-powered two input/output audio interface from UK-based Focusrite. My mic is plugged into Input 1 of the interface, and I'm getting a signal on the interface itself and in Saffire MixControl, but the audio channel in Ableton is not picking anything up, and when I look at my MacBook sound preferences, Saffire Firewire is highlighted as the input but no signal is being received there either. I'm not at all what you would call an experienced recording artist, and to top that off I've been on about a year long hiatus since using this piece of gear, so I'm at a loss as to how to record through this thing via Ableton! First of all, I've viewed the YouTube video put online by Focusrite about setting up Ableton with the interface, and I followed that exactly, but something still isn't right. My interface is a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP. Hi all, I need just a quick fix here! I'm working with Ableton Live 8 on a MacBook Pro purchased new in '09. There has to be a simple solution to this, can somebody please help me out? Also, here is the kicker, I've had the interface working in the past as I've recorded guitar direct into Ableton with it, I just can't remember how I got it to work then. ![]() ![]()
