![BASIC AUDIO INTERFACE SETUP [with Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KSsv74a-GEA/mqdefault.jpg)
great video. I've been plagued with issues concerning audio interfaces in the past. I will be watching step by step when my 2i2 comes in this week!
Glad it helped you!
For the scarlet 2i2 instead of Scarlet (Focusrite 2i2) I see Analog 1 + 2. There's no way to boost the db on this through the sound properties as the microphone booster is gone. Any help?
Chiptendo always gain stage directly from the source first. So start with the gain knobs on inputs 1 and 2. Your DAW will have all kinds of gain knobs and most plugins have gain knobs too. If you are using a condenser mic, be sure 48v is pressed in for phantom power.

I discovered that the reason for my low volume was a defected unit. Since my last comment i upgraded to a 4i4, SM58, Cloudlifter CL-1 with the DT 770 250Ohm. For me this is a really solid set up. Great sound and feedback. All other adjustments are made in FL Studio. It's a lot of fun.
This is a life saver been trying to figure this out for hours
I have a 2i2 1st gen . And my windows 10 does not recognize it I get (Drivers Unavailable) even though I have installed the latest drivers .
in windows 10, should the scarlet be default device in both playback and recording?
doesn't it create a feedback loop? Im helping someone set up their scarlet solo and the windows routing don't make sense on her machine
Yes you can select the Scarlett as the Default device. I even go as far as disabling my onboard audio.
Good job, Question: Bought a second hand Focusrite Solo 2nd Gen. and stuck it on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Downloaded the drivers but it says "No hardware detected" and I also found "Not Compatible", so do you have a suggestion? Thank You.

They have specific drivers and update often. I see they have some new updates. Check it out.
what if you are using a vst plugin with scarlett ..then what is your input in windows 10.. i only see analog 1+2 focusrite USB audio...but i am not using analog input because nothing is plugged into the 2 ports of the scarlett...the sound is coming from the vst
It sounds like you are using midi with a vst. The sound from the vst needs to output to your audio device. There should be a way to set this up in your DAW or in a standalone VST. It is typically in the settings/preferences menu where you can choose an audio device to output to.
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals thanks i figured out what the problem was...
I can never find a simple answer to this but... in windows should the master volume and recording volume always be 100%? I generally set both mine at 80% just to have some headroom... but really no idea if it matters or not.
You can set them to 100%. When recording in a DAW, you will have control over the gain staging of recording volume and master volume
What level do you set input volume in Windows, I have mine set to 100% but I don't know if it's too much
You can set to 100 and then control volume inside whatever software you are working in.
How should I set it to record a cover on headphones ? on win10 I'm having setting problems (music on monitors and headphones at the same time or mute microphone). Thanks
I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting, but it sounds like you need to have 2 separate mixes. 1 mix on Headphones (also called a Cue Mix or HP mix) and a 2nd mix on monitors. Inside a DAW, you would set this up. Here is an example of me setting up a Cue Mix. czcams.com/video/LilNkDVjw0A/video.html I hope it helps.
Hello i have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 works fine and everything BUT i can't get no sound input into my OBS i've tried everything I noticed that if i connect a dj controller in the 1-2 inputs of the sound card it recieves sound but the other inputs nothing at all can you help me on that thanks1
I don't have an 18i20, but have worked with them before. I do use OBS with multiple interfaces. The Secret is to set them all to the same bit depth and rate. Windows shared mode usually defaults at 24 bit 44.1kHz, but this depends on the sound card you have. Then, OBS setting for audio has to be exactly the same as your Recording and Playback rates. The 18i20 also has to be the exact same rates.
I come from the days when you had to have a word clock or master clock to sync everything else up with. Nowadays, you just need to use shared mode on pc and make sure all devices use the exact same bit depths and capture rates. Every system will be different as motherboard and build in sound cards vary.
I will do a video on my setup in the near future to see if it will help others. Keep in touch and let me know if things works out for you.
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals Thanks but no luck here I still get nothing very weird but on ch 1-2 i do get audio those are the XLR inputs in front of the sound card.
I have double voice in my DAW (Ableton and Reaper both) when I want to get Software monitoring. I dont know the problem, direct monitoring is off in FC, monitoring in DAW is on, and i always get two sounds with a small delay. I also deactivated Windows sounds to make sure that my Windows don't pick up sound from anywhere. Any Ideas?
hi men, mmm in my thods...check out your latanci (buffer size) in the drivers...that should be enough!!
You want low latency when recording and monitoring. This depends on what you computer specs are and can handle. Check out my audio buffers video. You want lower buffers at the recording stage. It sounds like you are experiencing this classic round trip latency issue.
Thanks for the video. I have a question. I have a focusrite 2i2 2nf gen. Whenever I want to record guitars, I can hear them on my headphones while playing but unable to hear my recorded guitar. I mean my headphones are giving output of recording. Can you anyone help me with that?
What DAW are you using? You want to be sure you have the tracks that you want to hear set to output to your interface. Also some DAWs have a monitor switch on each track. You may also want to check out my vid on a Cue/Headphone Mix as this is valuable for recording alongside other tracks.
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals I am using Cubase 5. Just bought the focusrite 2i2 studio pack. When first I tried, I saw that it was recording and I can hear the recording through laptop headphone port but it was not coming out through focusrite headphone's. Am using windows 10.
My 2i2 won’t turn on (I had it plugged in while downloading driver) and the green usb light in the interface won’t turn on. What do you recommend I do?
You can try another usb port. Be sure you don't plug into a USB expansion hub as Audio Interfaces need to be plugged directly into the motherboard USB. Installing the Driver should initialize it and get it ready to go .
Change USB cable. Had the same problem, turned out they gave me a faulty USB cable
Also, be sure you use a USB 2 cable to benefit from the bandwidth. Most USB cables sold today are USB 2. Most cables also print it really small on the actual cord.
thanks ! Great video! However I had a question, I gone through everything following your instructions, I can test my Scarlette 2i2 inputs and I can see the meter going, but I cannot hear anything from the speakers unless I turn on the direct monitor switch. My system sounds have no problem to play back to the speakers through 2i2 though. Is this a normal expected behavior? Thanks!
The more I listen to you..the more you sound familiar...as if I have seen you on tv..discussing ancient things and places...very similar voice.
I’d be happy to do voice over work for television sometime. Thanks!
I have 2i2 2gen. Output volume for recording was very low. I tried to push up the volume but it leaves a lot of noise background. How to solve Bro..
This could be a driver issue. Have you tried updating the driver? Also, try switching USB ports and use one that is directly on the motherboard. I have had this issue when plugged into a USB hub.
Phrygian Frog - Music Professionals i'm having the same issues. i've never had this issue in the past but i had to restore my computer from factory settings yesterday and now i can't get rid of the static...
@@Aktlast Be sure to update all items in the Device Manager and install all windows updates as a restore could cause those issues. What mic are you using? If it is a condenser mic, be sure Phantom Power is on and the gain is up. What DAW are you using?
Buddy please help...open protools1st, ask me to select inputs output in playback engine, select focusrite, dashboard open select create and it freezes...I get a d.box saying inputs/ outputs may have become inactive because audio device changed. Protools closes.
Please help, I'm going mental!!
I updated the drivers and now my Input is showing up as Analogue 1 + 2 or USB Audio Interface rather than Microphone (Scarlett). It's also way softer now, any idea how to fix this?
Hmm. Be sure you have the Scarlett 2i2 driver for Windows 10. This sounds like it may be the wrong driver. Analogue 1 is the same thing as the 1st Mic input on your interface. Analogue 2 would be the 2nd Mic input on the interface. If it is soft, the input for 1/2 may need to be turned up or if you are using a condenser microphone, you need to turn on 48v (phantom power). Check out my intro video on the ins and outs of the Scarlett 2i2. czcams.com/video/MipsnP9XogU/video.html
Did you manage to fix it? I'm having the same problem but not sure how to fix it, literally no videos about it and not sure how it fix it so did you manage to fix? If so how?
@@blank_7828 Hey so the default windows drivers will have a higher output but Focusrite recommends you use their driver. The output will be lower but you'll have to crank up your gain
For some reason when I go to the advanced settings, I have no control over the volume of other apps - like there are no apps showing up. Do you possibly know what the issue could be?
Still does not work, "Speakers (Focusrite Usb Audio)" does not produce sound :(
Notably, ASIO driver works in Amplitube.
When I press "Test" in Control panel -> Sound settings, it says "Failed to play test tone".
Tried rebooting, reinstalling drivers and devices, reinstalling Focusrite Control, nothing helps.
The same soundcard (6l6 2nd generation) worked on Windows 7.
update your drivers...that will solve the problem
I also own the 6i6 and it comes with Focusrite Control, which is basically a digital software that has presets for what you are trying to accomplish. You may also want to disable any onboard soundcard like Realtek as these are known to cause problems with outboard audio gear.
dmitryWeirdo could you explain your setup starting with your audio interface
I am using Zoom to deliver guitar lessons, and when doing songs (95% of the time I do) I play along to the recording to demonstrate parts with my guitar. However when doing Zoom share computer sound the music is very loud for the person on the other side I'm sharing it with and my guitar not audible. I've tried lowering the volume in Spotify to like, 20% but it means its barely audible for me to hear it enough to stay in time with to play along. I've looked at Windows sound settings and adjusted just about every single volume slider control there is on the system but can't seem to balance the two levels. I use a Focusrite 8i6 and use the analogue ports on the front - 1 is my xlr mic for speaking 2 is my guitar.
Where is the actual place I lower the volume on Spotify/CZcams etc when playing backing tracks enough so I can hear myself and they can hear both my guitar and the music at a good balanced volume?
does the interface good on windows 11? i have behringer um2 but its no good on windows 11
Mmmkaay
Is it you, Mr Mackey? 😀
It's easy mmmmmkay
Thank you so much for this!
very good video, it helped me a lot!
But you know the different between ´´Scarlett 2i2 3rd Generation´´ and ´´Scarlett 2i2 3rd Generation Studio´´?
which one do I have to download?
Yes the "Studio" addition to the name of most interfaces means that it comes with other accessories besides the interface. It looks like form the link provided below, that headphones+interface+mic+miccable are all part of the Scarlett 2i2 Studio package.
focusrite.com/usb-audio-interface/scarlett/scarlett-2i2-studio
Phrygian Frog - Music Professionals cant hear my self at all keeps saying its locked on windows doing my head in
Quick question bro. If I download focusrite control does that come with the asio drivers? I have the 3rd gen 2i2 and there is no driver download option for it on the site - only focusrite control.
Yes the Focusrite control is the whole package for the focusrite. It not only has the driver, but also has a handy app that lets you control your focusrite settings from a phone or other remote device. focusrite.com/en/focusrite-control
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals my focus rite makes cracking sounds i need it to stop
@@ghostsimone8691 Sounds like you should contact the company. Could be many things including a faulty pre-amp. focusrite.com/en
Hi, may I ask you why I had a kmode_handle... BSOD that restart my computer saying that was caused by Focusrite.sys?
How can I fix it?
Fabio Martina try a complete uninstall of focusrite, then reboot, then reinstall focusrite drivers.
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals Thank you so much for answering me.
I've done it. I hope it works... Fingercross!
i don't hear sound out of my speakers if i use scarlett as output
How about 2nd generation? What should i choose?
customer.focusrite.com/en/support/downloads?brand=Focusrite&product_by_type=551&download_type=all
Once you go here, and choose the Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen, you will want to open the SOFTWARE and USER GUIDES below it to download what you need.
my shit sounds crystal clear when i talk into the mic or test sounds but when i try to say play this youtube video it makes it sound like Its underwater.
Not sure what would cause that. Is it a condenser mic? If so, be sure phantom power is on. Also be sure you are speaking into the right direction of the diaphragm on the mic. Some mics can be deceiving. Just some thoughts.
Phrygian Frog - Music Professionals no j mean like say I were to play a CZcams video the sound would be like it’s under water. Everything coming from the mic tho sounds perfect
@@25Buttholes The mic input and output will be different than what is coming from CZcams. You will want to see where CZcams is outputting to. The goal will also be that system playback is the same bit depth and capture rate as recording playback if you are in the DAW and using CZcams at the same time.
So you could set Focusrite to 24 bit/48 kHz for recording/playback. The BAD news is that Google Chrome keeps defaulting to windows as the output sound device. My solution was to disable all onboard audio devices except my audio interface. This gives Chrome no choice but to default to the Focusrite or other audio interface.
I've tried to get Google to fix this before, but they are not interested in helping us audio guys out.
Thanks!
nice
My computer has a bad habit of kicking my 2i2 2nd gen out of the audio settings all together and I have to unplug it from my computer usb port and then plug it again at which point it will start acknowledging that it's part of my audio settings and it works fine....any ideas as to why that's happening.
Malibu Stacy it sounds like a USB port issue. Try a different USB port altogether and see if your USB port drivers in Device manager need updated. Don’t use a usb hub for your interface.
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals To my knowledge USB port driver updates come as part of Windows updates and are updated automatically (there is no update option associated with Universal Serial Bus Controllers in Device Manager) and I've checked Windows updates after this "thing" happens and everything is up to date, I've also tried going to advanced power settings and changing the usb selective suspend setting as well and that didn't help either so....it's not killing me to unplug it and plug it back in again but I would like a reason as to why it's happening in the first place.
Hey i bought scarlett solo 3rd gen and set up everything like you did and i hear sound only in my left headphone,doesn't matter if i'm using guitar or listening songs on youtube, sound is always only in my left left ear,do you know how to fix that? Btw nice video!
Be sure your headphones are in the Headphone port and not in the left main out. Try other headphones to see if it happens on all of them. It could also be that you are recording a mono instrument on a stereo track. Be sure that whatever DAW you are in, you choose a mono audio track. Here is an article that explains it well. support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206849779-Why-is-my-microphone-guitar-only-on-the-left-
@@PhrygianFrogMusicProfessionals i solved it, I was using the wrong adapter for headphones but thanks a lot for answering!
there's no USB ASIO driver when I try it. Only Focusrite Control which seems utterly useless
Same issue bro but I have a way around it. I spent hours trying to redownload drivers form their website after resetting my pc. Every support page or direction I found said to use the download page but it is broken as fuck, I cant even register my product its that broken. Anyway DOWNLOAD IT ON YOUR PHONE AND EMAIL THE DRIVE TO YOURSELF IT WORKED FOR ME! If you have any issues I'm keeping this file for anyone else with this issue. It works for nearly every focusrite interface btw
@@7MJK7 why would u need an ASIO driver, dont the drivers from focusrite come with ASIO drivers included ?
very helpful video
Am I the only person have this issue focusrite doesn't work on my windows 10 😢 it crashes any time I plug it in both 2nd gen and 3nd gen
...pls o really need help 😢
Very helfull vedio
I’m an absolute newb. I’ll be recording acoustic drums. Anyway, when I plug my usb in from the 18i20, something says “Locked”. Is this something I need to unlock? I did buy the device as a open box, meaning someone probably returned it. Thanks!
Bubinga Basher if you can send me a screenshot to jason@phrygianfrog.com so I can see what is locked, i may be able to help. It could be many different things.
Phrygian Frog - Music Professionals I’ve been told it’s should just be the sample rate. The message only pops up when I first connect it to my PC, then everything seems to be working normally. I’ve yet to do try anything with the program.I’ll see if that is the case, and try to get things up, and recording this eve. If I have any issues, I’ll hit you up. I really appreciate the help!
Bubinga Basher all audio sample rates need to match including built in windows audio. That is the key to sharing inboard and outboard audio. I set everything at 24 bit 48k including Windows.
Phrygian Frog - Music Professionals Thanks, that’s a bit more detailed. Everything on the PC is brand new. I got it for this purpose. My guess is the guy who returned, changed it’s sample rate? Do you know what the other operating system default is? So, when I go into the Scarlett, I’ll be changing my sample rate. What would you suggest for a drum kit. 24, or 48? I’m glad you brought that up. Nobody else did
Phrygian Frog - Music Professionals Thanks for all the help yesterday. When I finally got to take a look last night, it was the world clock that was Locked, so thankfully it wasn’t a big deal. I did come across another issue that has me frustrated. My sample rate is at 512, and I guess that’s a good place to start. For some reason, I don’t have the option to scroll to different sample rates? I can change the speed, and the latency however. Any ideas?
Is it compatible with Magix Music Maker nobody is helping me
Audio interfaces are compatible with most all DAWs. You have to find the menu in the DAW which is usually labeled Preferences/Audio Preferences/I&O or something like that. Then you choose your interface and setup the ins and outs. Check out my 3 part Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Video series as I setup this interface in Studio One in the 3rd video. czcams.com/video/TE2g2qLgZDk/video.html
My output is not being performed. Pls help
Can you be more specific? Is it the output on the audio interface? The built in windows output?
