Clarett USB lays down the challenge to interfaces twice the price. The Clarett USB range features specially designed high performance, low-noise (-128dB EIN) mic pres with a low distortion, ultra-linear design that guarantees a clean, open and transparent sound, giving accurate representation of the original performance. Boasting 118dB dynamic range, Clarett can now be experienced with any Mac or PC supporting USB 2.0 and above. Decades of analog circuit design experience applied around 24-bit/192kHz A-D and D-A conversion, delivers a superior signal path - beating interfaces costing hundreds more. 

Clarett 8Pre USB is an 18-in, 20-out audio interface. Six-segment LED metering easily shows the signal level of the eight mic/line inputs, two of which are also high-impedance instrument inputs that can record super-hot pickups with no unwanted distortion. MIDI I/O and S/PDIF I/O are also included. ADAT I/O allows you to expand your setup with up to eight extra inputs and outputs when combined with multi-channel mic preamps like Clarett OctoPre. Analog outs include two monitor outputs with anti-thump technology, eight-line outputs, two headphone outputs with volume controls, and a word clock output for sending clock signal to external devices. The eight Air-enabled mic preamps can reproduce the input impedance, clarity and frequency response curve of Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp. Clarett 8Pre USB connects to Mac or PC using the included standard USB and USB Type-C cables. Record with super-low latency through amp simulators and effects plug-ins. Configure your routing and monitor mixes from Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch with user-friendly control software Focusrite Control. Additional included software is from XLN Audio, Focusrite, Softube, Ableton and Loopmasters. Interested in what headphones are compatible with Clarett?

 Hey guys, welcome back to another video and if you're new here my name is Edward Smith and welcome to my YouTube channel and in today's video we're going to be looking at the brand new Focusrite Claret Plus 8 pre USB audio interface and we're going to be comparing it to my old Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 generation 2. So as a lot of you guys know for the past 5 years I've been using the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 USB audio interface for all my recordings, whether it was for a microphone comparison or working on a specific song, I've been using a Focusrite audio interface and I've really been looking for a brand new audio interface to upgrade which is a little bit better but still not crazy expensive that it doesn't make sense for a home studio type setup and as you guys can see I already have the new Focusrite Claret Plus 8 pre USB audio interface set up and ready to go because I just couldn't wait to just upgrade this piece of gear because everything else in my studio setup has been upgraded and I'd like to give a huge shout out to Sweetwater for sending me this audio interface and for sponsoring today's video. I know that a lot of you guys are looking to purchase some brand new studio equipment and because of the time of year we have so many discounts because of Christmas, this is the perfect time to purchase some brand new studio gear and there is no better place to go than Sweetwater.com so if you guys want to check them out I will leave some links down below to their store and the audio interfaces we're looking at today

 I know that a lot of you guys are looking to purchase some brand new studio equipment and because of the time of year we have so many discounts because of Christmas, this is the perfect time to purchase some brand new studio gear and there is no better place to go than Sweetwater.com so if you guys want to check them out I will leave some links down below to their store and the audio interfaces we're looking at today. So like I mentioned earlier for the past five years I've been using the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 as my main audio interface for all my vocal recording, microphone comparisons, pretty much everything and I'm a big fan of this design and the price point of this audio interface and it gives me everything I need for my specific home studio setup and when I was looking at a brand new audio interface I didn't want something much different only a little bit better in terms of preamp quality maybe a slightly different look but I wanted 90% of pretty much the exact same thing and when we look at this brand new Claret Plus 8 pre USB audio interface you still have the Focusrite design and layout but you do have those slight differences in terms of the look and design, the knobs, the build quality, the feel and obviously you also getting that Claret preamp quality which is so so beautiful when it comes to high end quality microphones and just getting quality sound through a USB audio interface. When you move on to the build quality of this brand new Claret audio interface you can definitely pick up that the knobs and the buttons are of very high quality

 So like I mentioned earlier for the past five years I've been using the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 as my main audio interface for all my vocal recording, microphone comparisons, pretty much everything and I'm a big fan of this design and the price point of this audio interface and it gives me everything I need for my specific home studio setup and when I was looking at a brand new audio interface I didn't want something much different only a little bit better in terms of preamp quality maybe a slightly different look but I wanted 90% of pretty much the exact same thing and when we look at this brand new Claret Plus 8 pre USB audio interface you still have the Focusrite design and layout but you do have those slight differences in terms of the look and design, the knobs, the build quality, the feel and obviously you also getting that Claret preamp quality which is so so beautiful when it comes to high end quality microphones and just getting quality sound through a USB audio interface. When you move on to the build quality of this brand new Claret audio interface you can definitely pick up that the knobs and the buttons are of very high quality. My previous 18i20 had these rubbery type knobs that kind of wore off after a while and they just started looking bad after a few years where this brand new Claret has a metal feel on each knob that's really nice and solid and I definitely think they're gonna last longer and look better for a longer period of time. Another nice addition that I like with this brand new Claret audio interface is the left and right output levels which isn't something that you got with the older 18i20 which I think visually is nice and it's also just a nice indicator to show you what's going on when you play your tracks

 Now the final thing we have to have a look at is the price difference and when I first purchased my 18i20 around 2015 2016 it did cost me around $500 and the upgraded version the third generation which came out about a year or two ago it's also around $500 $550 and I must say in terms of value for money these audio interfaces are great with 18 inputs 20 outputs a lot of XLR inputs which is nice if you want to record multiple microphones guitars all at the same time and for a studio setup this is an audio interface that's going to last you three four five years easily without needing to upgrade because it is also big enough but if you're looking to upgrade and you want preamp quality you want to be able to hear the quality in an expensive microphone and not record with an 18i20 or something cheap but you want to hear those details and you're paying to hear those details it is a good investment to pay for an audio interface like the Claret that's a thousand dollars that will also last at least five to ten years before you really would want to upgrade and it's just going to do such a good job and give you the vocal quality that you deserve to have when you're recording and making your music. So just a reminder I will be covering a lot more things on this audio interface in future videos and I'm also going to be doing a whole bunch of microphone comparisons in the future using this audio interface just to show you how good it is in terms of quality among very expensive microphones so make sure you guys subscribe and you're ready for those videos but other than that thank you guys so much for watching this video if you enjoyed it please do give it that thumbs up and if you love to subscribe down below and I will see you for another video next time.

This Audio Interface is NEXT LEVEL!!! - Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre (First Look)

 I use lowish (30 ohm) cans that are very efficient, and find that it plays loud and sounds great. But beware that this is where Focusrite cut corners.  Finally, the bad news. Focusrite's software is a minor horror show

 And it sounds as good as anything out there, as long as you're not using the wrong headphones.

Great piece of hardware with a couple of minor shortcomings

 Then we have eight optical ports, which allow us to expand the I.O. capability of the Claret Plus 8Pre. Next to this, we have MIDI input and output for controlling external gear

 Hi, I'm Mitch Gallagher from Sweetwater. Today we're looking at the latest audio interface from Focusrite. Let's get started. This is the new Focusrite Claret Plus 8 pre-audio interface from Mac and PC

 Moving to the back panel, as I mentioned, we have inputs three through eight, those 10 analog outputs. We also have a word clock output for digitally synchronizing external gear. Then we have eight optical ports, which allow us to expand the I.O

 One more thing I definitely want to mention about the Claret Plus 8Pre is Focusrite has actually improved the A to D and D to A capability here. The converters are even better than before. They feature extremely low distortion, low noise, and very high dynamic range. As I mentioned, the Claret Plus 8Pre is compatible with both Mac and Windows, and it comes with a comprehensive software bundle to get you started right out of the box, and this even includes Focusrite's plug-in collective registration

Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre USB-C Audio Interface Overview

 Support is nonexistent, most help that would be gotten are for the Scarlett series of interfaces, which from personal experience, actually work and are simpler to install.  I was hugely disappointed in the product. I expected better of Focusrite.

It was too much trouble to get working; It forces you to install a control app that doesn't detect the interface the first few times around and the USB drivers cause too many issues. I wasn't able to get an signal to or from the device.

Expensive Trash.

The audio 2 makes capturing stereo sounds a breeze. It’s the same fantastic sound quality as the audio 1, with a bit more flexibility. Plug in a pair of mics together using the two combi-xlr/jack inputs. Connect to studio monitors, or plug in on stage with dual Jack outputs.

 So moving on and getting back to a kind of more conventional USB audio interface, the penultimate model that we're looking at today is the Native Instruments Complete Audio 2. Of all the traditional 2-in-2-out interfaces on our list, the Complete Audio 2 is the most compact and features a very different kind of design to the Focusrite and PreSonus models that we checked out earlier. This one's a discreet but stylish looking desktop interface designed to complement Native's other complete range of keyboards and controllers and instead of all the controls being crammed onto a front panel, this interface has moved the large master volume knob onto the top of the unit making it really easy to adjust on the fly. This utilisation of the extra space also allows for two input level meters so you don't just get an input clip light and this gives you a much more accurate readout of how loud or quiet your audio source is

 Although it doesn't feel quite as robust as some of the other interfaces, it is very small and light so it'll easily fit into a laptop bag and it's great value at under £100 considering its high quality specs. And if you don't need the two inputs, it's also available in a single channel version which offers the same kind of pro quality but an even more affordable price. So if you're a songwriter, producer, podcaster or even a live performer, the Complete Audio 2 is definitely worth checking out.

Just like the Focusrite Scarlett, the Complete Audio 2 features high quality A to D converters with 24-bit resolution and sample rates of up to 192kHz and the XLR jack combination inputs are suitable for all types of microphone or instruments with the jack inputs being switchable for either guitar or line levels. Now obviously if you're a fan of Native Instruments hardware and software, this interface is going to slip into your setup seamlessly both aesthetically and sonically but it doesn't have to be used exclusively with complete or machine software

The Machine Room : Gear Recommendation Questions Go Here!

When it comes to interfaces you thankfully have some more good cheap options. I can personally recommend the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2 at 170$ CAD. If you need something that can survive a real beating, then spending a litttle extra on a focusrite might be worthwhile but otherwise the recording quality of the NIKA 2 is absolutely amazing for the money.

I'm sure this question is asked a lot but I couldn't see anything on it in the FAQs so I decided to make a post. 

Studying music in school, I normally would perform to an audience, but with my city being in lockdown once again, all my assignments and performances have now gone online. This means that now I have to record myself playing and submit it. I was intending to buy a microphone eventually, but with the situation I'm in, now seemed like a perfect time to buy one.

So should I get a usb mic or a xlr microphone? Call me stupid, but the only difference I know of the two is that one is usb powered and the other needs an audio interface :p. I will be recording the violin and piano and I'm looking for a pretty decent microphone as I will be using it quite a but from now on. I have around 300 usd including the audio interface if i was to go down that route, but cheaper is better for a student like me (as long as it's not bad quality)

Thank you in advance!
