Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 FAQ

Q：Is the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Generation suitable for recording drum kits?

▼

A：Absolutely. It has 8 built-in mic preamps and can expand to more channels via ADAT, which is sufficient for the multi-microphone setup required for a standard drum kit, making it an excellent choice for recording drums.

Q：What is the biggest difference between the 4th Generation Scarlett 18i20 and the previous generation (3rd Gen)?

▼

A：The main upgrade is the adoption of RedNet-grade AD/DA converters, with Dynamic Range increased to 122dB, and the addition of Auto Gain and Clip Safe features, significantly enhancing both sound quality and operational convenience.

Q：I'm a beginner music producer, is the Scarlett 18i20 worth buying?

▼

A：For beginners, the extensive features of the 18i20 might require some learning. If you don't currently need multi-track recording, you might consider starting with the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4 from the same series, as they are easier to use and more affordable.

Q：Can the Scarlett 18i20 be used as a standalone mixer without a computer?

▼

A：No. The Scarlett 18i20 is an audio interface; all routing and mixing settings require connection to a computer and operation via the Focusrite Control 2 software, so it cannot operate independently.
