    I’ve got one of these, very nice piece of equipment.

    use it to connect my guitar up to my MacBook Pro m1, worked instantly and sounds really clear, plus the little traffic light system on the device lets you know if your signal is too loud so you can turn down the gain on the device.

    runs on phantom power so does go though your battery pretty quickly (edited)

    Avoid - these 3rd gen Focusrite's have clock drift issues that result in sounding like a robot. Cheaper options include Behringer UM2/UMC22, M-Track Solo. Or if you want to blow the budget, Motu M2

    Any more info on this? Picked one up recently but didn't see anything about this.

    Would this be able to output a stereo stream for a microphone? I sometimes try to use the condenser microphone with Zoom/Google Meet it always sounds like its mono.

    A single microphone is a mono input. To have stereo you need two microphones connected.

    Have a look at your settings.

    Thanks, I've been looking out for this.

    Never heard of this site though. However, don't forget to sign up the mailing list as you'll get another £5 off.

    Bit of a no brainer, espeically if you're unlikely to ever use them again.

    I have one of these hooked up to a Windows machine, when playing back audio, it only plays back in mono instead of stereo... tried everything I could find online and nothing has worked so far.

    Idk about recording but be careful if you're using this to playback through your speakers/headphones for example.

    Recording it has two lines. If you record through both you get true stereo recording, if you record just 1 you only get mono.

    Recording software will be able to automatically dupe the tracks so you can get stereo with just one line if you need

    I got one of these and a shure sm57 mic after many reddit posts recommended it for acoustic guitar. They sounds pretty terrible together, you have to turn the gain up way too high to get a signal and then you have a horrendous amount of noise.

    Apparently you need to spend money on a preamp to get a good sound from a non condenser mic with low gain. Bit of a shame as I get a way better recording if I just use my phone...

    Take a look at something like the Klark Teknik CM-1 (about £30-£40) or any other decent inline preamp. I'm using one with a low-gain dynamic mic and a really budget audio interface and it sounds great.

    Just want to add, there is hundreds of pounds of pretty great software included with these when you register your kit.
    I've tried Ableton Live Lite, XLN Addictive Keys and the Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 amp, and I got to say I'm pretty impressed by all these, it's mad value considering I paid about £70 for a refurbished Solo 3rd gen.
