Multitask your next music production with the Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 USB audio interface with Pro Tools and Ableton Live software suites. This 18-in, 8-out USB audio interface is ideal for many instruments in the same band, one musician who plays many instruments, small bands, producers or sound engineers who want one basic tool to handle as many inputs as possible. Record and alter sounds from drums, guitars, keyboards, vocals and even computers. Four mic preamps combine with a 2.74-millisecond roundtrip latency to give you real-time feedback on the music reaching your ears.
Monitors, whether you have speakers or headphones, work for two artists or one artist and a sound engineer. Four inputs on the front let you line up microphones, while four inputs on the back connect synthesizers, keyboards, mixers or other digital recording sources. Two balanced analogue line outputs let you connect professional speakers for monitoring. All of these hardware capabilities take care of your band's in-studio needs without a fuss.
Pro Tools and Ableton Live Lite provide samples to start recording straight out of the box. The Scarlett 18i8 works with any DAW, PC and Mac music software to give you limitless possibilities for recording and post-production.
