Scarlett Solo Studio 3rd Gen : Great stuff, super thrilled!

6 years ago

Interface: This is an area that I am very new to. However, from whatever little experience I have as of now, this bundle is undoubtedly capable of capturing very good quality recordings, both from the mic and the line. Super quiet and very clean. The "Air" function seems to add a minimal-yet-noticeable (and certainly very usable) boost to specific high and high-mid range frequencies that I think will be very helpful. This handy little feature is missing from the previous generations of this particular model, so kudos to Focusrite for including it at this price point.

Mic: Well-built and the sound that it captures is, according to me, above-average quality for sure. Whether its a voice-over, a sung vocal line or an acoustic instrument (tried a six string acoustic guitar), it does a bang-up job. The clip that comes with it is also solid, although you should get a shock-mount. I opted for the tbone SSM2, and the mic fits nice and snug.

Headphones: This was the one that really did it for me. The sound is quite good! I was pleasantly surprised with what I heard. There is barely any leakage, even when listening at loud levels, which is so critical. Small area of improvement; I wish that the ear cavity was slightly larger to accommodate the ears...properly.

All the materials and components that go into the making of this bundle seem to be of medium to high quality and should last a long time, as long as you don't drop it or something. And again, since I am new at recording, I am not sure if I can say anything about the all the different software that comes with it, but it seems like it should be more than enough to address basic to intermediary recording needs for sure. Very satisfied with this bundle.
