Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 2nd Gen Recording Bundle

Best for home studio and music makingMIDI is Samson graphite m25, I got both of them in about 23k

I received a defective soundcard, This was my first soundcard so I had little knowledge about the audio interface. An experienced friend of mine told me the product is defective and that's when I requested a return. I got a new one in just two days since the request. It works perfect now. Thanks amazon.

This is a really good beginner's home setup. The mic and the cable feel durable and heavy.The mic even picks up low end sounds or filters out unwanted noises depending on the gain set. The audio interface is phantom powered and compatible with every software I've used so far. The headphones provided are really comfy for hours of use. All you need to complete the setup are a pop filter, shock mount and stand.

Issue when guitar gain has been increased, lot of noise from the interface within direct monitoring. So requested for replacement . After replacement, they sent the item but the packaging was pathetic looks like another piece someone returned and did not change the inside packaging box which is broken

This experience is undeniably cherishable. The quality is perfect and the quantity equates with the price. However, headphones irked me out and held me in hell which is solvable with the understanding of basic sciences. It's affordable if not other prices in other places but it's costly given the fear of not being able to return back. You gotta open it in a specific manner and so on, which irks me although returning the product is completely safe with me. It's my tendency. But this online store unvaried my tendency. Great Job.

Using it for all my youtube Tutorial and short films. Its amazing.You can check my youtube @ Ankit bhatiaIn all of my tutorials I used this MIC

Sound quality is excellent for streaming, video production, podcasts, ADR etc.

Recommended for beginners.

I love this kit. My old set up had a lot of issues with white noise and clarity, but this sounds so clear. It's gorgeous for recording soft vocals, but it also handles a good belt very well. Top quality, especially for the price. The headphones are comfortable and they sound great too. The interface is so simple to use, there aren't any useless buttons making it confusing. It did not take long to get everything set up and to start testing it! It all looks beautiful too. I've recorded a lot since getting it over a month ago and I'm in love!I'd recommend also getting a mic stand as it's really not a "hold it" mic.I was a little disappointed by the software, I found it confusing (its been a while since I've used music software other than audacity, but I studied music at college and university and used Cubase, logic, sibaleous and pro tools so I hoped I'd be able to figure it out quickly). Pro tools kept crashing, I kept getting messages saying things weren't installed properly, and I had latency issues. That being said I'm working on an old pc so that could be why, just thought I'd add that in case you have an old pc or are particularly interested in the software.The only thing I'm really mad about was the delivery. It was due to arrive before 9pm and I waited at home till 6, but there was a family emergency so I had to leave for a couple of days. I updated the delivery information saying to leave it with my neighbor as I don't have a safe place. I got a notification saying it had been "handed to resident" so I assumed that meant my neighbor had taken it in, however, the next morning my partner said he got a delivery before Christmas (a Kindle, so also not a cheap item), and he waited in for it all day, he got a notification saying it was "handed to resident" but he knew it hadn't been and found it in the bin outside.I asked my dad to go and see if it was in the bin as I was nervous about it being left out and I wouldn't get home till the following morning. He went to my house and saw it behind the bin, as in before he even got into my garden, he could see a big delivery box sitting behind the bin. I like my immediate neighbors, but I don't live in a fancy area, and this was on display for everyone to see. It wasn't even covered, and living in the north of England it rains - a lot! I'm lucky it was still there when dad checked, and that it wasn't damaged by the weather. It would have been more than I could have afforded to replace it.I'm still upset about it, highly unprofessional, which is a shame because it was packaged well and the stuff is great! But how hard could it have been to knock on my neighbors door? Shocking.Overall, I'd say it's excellent, well worth the money, but watch out for delivery.

Very good little set for beginners or people wanting to experiment with music or start recording better audio. I sometimes get some noise but it's quickly fixed by unplugging and plugging it back in.Headphones are very well balanced, noticing a lot that I didn't before with a gaming headset!Interface is minimal and easy to use, microphone is very sensitive but also fit for purpose if you can suppress background noise.Can feel a little cheap but it's very competitively priced and will treat you well as long as you take care of it!

Before this I was always using terrible gaming microphones but now my voice is crisp and clear for my friends, I even feel like if I wanted to I could do podcasts or some youtube stuff but that stuff is on the backburner for now but otherwise I highly recommend it, Easy to work with, you won't need to buy a new microphone at all. I do recommend getting a mic stand though and the cable at the back can be a tiny bit fiddly make sure its in properly.

This is a very good investment if you are someone like me who is just starting out. The mic and interface are superb and excellent quality. The hardware is great. My only issue was the software. If you are using Windows pc, it can be quite a daunting and boring process as you have to manually install the drivers etc. It also required that i download quicktime player so that i could import audio to protools( but then again, i am still learning) so it took a good afternoon to figure out most things.But overall, i am quite happy with it all.

I purchased this product after trying various USB podcast systems. USB microphones plugged into my PC were picking up noise like fans and disk access.I decided to look into 'condenser microphones' and found the Focusrite Scarlett USB Audio Interface and the Scarlett Studio CM25 microphone was the best solution. Because the microphone is not directly plugged into the PC, none of the noise issues I had previously were being recorded. In my opinion, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface and recording bundle with Pro Tools is a great purchase.
