Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface with Cubase LE
The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen is a compact USB audio interface for solo musicians, songwriters, podcasters, streamers and home studio creators. It gives you one detailed Scarlett mic preamp, one Hi-Z instrument input, studio-grade converters and a huge 120dB dynamic range, so you can record vocals, guitar, bass and voiceovers with clean Focusrite sound.
This Scarlett Solo audio interface also includes Cubase LE, Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Artist and Focusrite’s Hitmaker Expansion software bundle. If you are setting up a simple recording rig, you get the hardware and software tools to start writing, recording, editing and mixing straight away.
Built for Solo Recording
The Scarlett Solo is made for one-person recording setups. Plug a microphone into the Scarlett mic preamp for vocals, speech or acoustic instruments, then connect guitar or bass through the Hi-Z instrument input.
It is a strong choice for singer-songwriters, guitarists, DIY producers and creators who want a reliable audio interface for home recording, content creation and everyday music production.
Clean Scarlett Sound
The 4th-generation Scarlett mic preamp is detailed, ultra-low-noise and easy to work with. It gives microphones a clean signal path, while the Hi-Z input helps electric guitars and basses feel natural when recording direct or using amp simulation software.
With up to 24-bit/192kHz recording and a 120dB dynamic range, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen captures the detail you need for vocals, instruments, podcasts and demos.
Air Mode for Extra Presence
Focusrite’s re-engineered Air mode adds presence and harmonic character to vocals and instruments. It is especially handy when you want a lead vocal, acoustic guitar or direct instrument part to sit forward in the mix.
Think of it as a quick way to add a little studio sheen at the source, before the track even reaches your plugins.
Easy Level Setting with Dynamic Gain Halos
Scarlett’s Dynamic Gain Halos make it easier to set healthy recording levels from the front panel. You can quickly see when your signal is sitting in the right range, which helps avoid takes that are too quiet or too hot.
This is especially useful when you are recording yourself and need to keep the session moving.
Loopback for Samples, Podcasts and Streams
Loopback lets you send stereo audio from apps, browsers and other software straight into your DAW using Scarlett’s virtual inputs. It is useful for sampling, podcasting, livestreaming, reaction content and screen-based recording workflows.
That makes the Focusrite Solo useful beyond music production, especially if your setup moves between songs, voice content and online work.
Clear Monitoring for Headphones and Speakers
The custom-designed headphone amp gives you loud, clear monitoring while you record, edit and mix. Independent controls for headphones and monitors also make it easier to move between private listening and playback through studio monitors.
Pair it with a set of studio headphones and a suitable recording microphone to build a clean, simple recording setup.
Cubase LE and Hitmaker Expansion Included
This version of the Scarlett Solo 4th Gen includes Cubase LE, giving you a capable DAW for recording, editing and producing music. Cubase LE supports up to 16 audio tracks, 24 MIDI tracks and includes more than 20GB of loops and samples.
You also get Ableton Live Lite, a three-month Avid Pro Tools Artist subscription and Focusrite’s Hitmaker Expansion software bundle, with tools for vocals, guitar tones, drums, keys, mixing and mastering.
Simple Setup with Easy Start
Focusrite’s Easy Start tool helps guide you through setup, software installation and recording basics. It is a handy touch if this is your first USB audio interface or your first proper home studio setup.
For a complete setup, add an XLR cable, microphone stand, headphones and your preferred music production software.
