Reviewed by Colin L. on Reverb

Simple to learn for first-time interface users, comes with good free software (Ableton Live Lite), looks pretty cool. Lots of input options, and pretty well supported if you have any questions and need to look anything up.

Great product, great performance. Beautiful look.

The product is spectacular. My son can record his percussions lessons and the quality is great. We change the 4i4 for a 18i8 and the result, after every record session, is unbeatably. We recommend the complete line to all the readers.

I would purchase this again, once I learn how to work it.

Device didn't work the first time I tried it because output 3/4 aren't routed anywhere. Other than that, works great.

Easy to use, although I did have to chat with Focusrite tech support to get it working. Turns out it doesn't play nice with all USB hubs.

I am live-streaming and needed to be able to plug in my mic (shure sm58) and guitar. It was perfect. In the future this will interface in a much more robust worhsip-hall sound-system.

Downscaled my home studio from lots of hardware to pretty much everything in the computer. For the occasional guitar and external synth this works very well. Great sound.
