One of our favorite creators of audio equipment, Focusrite, has added an additional model to one of the most popular collections of gear in the market, the Scarlett audio interface series. The Scarlett Solo audio interface is a more simpler and convenient approach towards recording your sounds as compared to their other solutions.

You get your basic essentials; an XLR and 1/4″ input, RCA outs for some studio monitors, as well as extra connectivity for your guitar, bass or keys. We love it because of it’s raw capabilities that doesn’t offer any extra software or features we don’t need to justify a high price.
