Description:

Focusrite interfaces are perfect partners for Pro Tools, so Scarlett 18i8 comes with Pro Tools | First Focusrite Creative Pack in the box, as well as Ableton Live Lite recording software and a suite of software and samples, so you can start recording straight away. Scarlett 18i8 works flawlessly with all major DAWs on Mac and PC, and we continue to work with Avid to ensure it is compatible with every update to Pro Tools.

New Generation – Better In Every Way
The latest generation Scarlett 18i8 is packed full of upgrades. It operates at sample rates all the way up to 192kHz with new super-low latency* that lets you record and monitor with software effects in real time.

We completely redesigned the instrument inputs so they can handle even the hottest guitar pick-ups, and we’ve made it easier than ever to set your levels accurately. We’ve also built in new analogue protection circuitry across the inputs and the outputs, to guard your interface against unwanted power surges. 

Record whatever you want, whenever you want
Our latest generation 18-in, 8-out USB interface is ideal for multi-instrumentalists, producers and small bands who want to record audio from a wide range of sources such as drums, guitars, keyboards and vocals. It’s our most comprehensive desktop interface, giving you four mic preamps, round-trip latency as low as 2.74ms*, class-leading sound quality, and two separate headphone outputs, so you can give different monitoring settings to two artists, or an engineer and artist. It’s also expandable over ADAT.

Delimit Your Studio
Don’t be limited by your interface’s connectivity. 18 separate inputs let you connect just about anything you want, and leave your instruments permanently set up and ready to record.

The four combination inputs on the front each have a natural-sounding Scarlett mic preamp, 48V phantom power and superior linear gain. Backed by 30 years of design experience, they guarantee low noise, minimal distortion and a dynamic range that is unrivalled in this class.

On the back are four more line inputs for connecting your synths, keyboards or mixers, and two additional S/PDIF inputs for recording digital sources. For even more inputs, connect an eight-channel mic pre like the Focusrite OctoPre Mk II, for a total of 16 analogue inputs with 12 preamps.

Separate Headphones
As well as two balanced analogue line outputs for connecting professional speakers, Scarlett 18i8 gives you two independent stereo headphone outputs, so you can give two artists (or an engineer and artist) their own cans and monitoring settings.

Revolutionize Your Workflow
An unrivalled round-trip latency as low as 2.74ms* completely revolutionises your workflow. You can work entirely inside your DAW for both overdubbing and playback, and use your favourite plugins while recording – whether it’s reverb on a vocal, a guitar amp simulator, or even virtual instruments live on stage. You’ll also get the best out of vocal performances, by applying real-time comfort reverb to headphones.

Unrivaled Sound Quality
We’ve been perfecting audio conversion for over 20 years. Our class-leading digital conversion operates at up to 24-bit and up to 192kHz, so you capture every nuance of every performance in crystal clear audio without any unwanted noise or hum, even when you’re playing softly.

Designed For Guitarists
We’ve redesigned Scarlett 18i8’s instrument inputs and given them plenty of extra headroom, so you can handle extreme levels without any unwanted clipping or distortion. If you’re recording extra loud instruments, you can also engage the 10dB pad in Focusrite Control software.

Start Recording Today
Compose, record, edit, save and export your music straight away, with time-unlimited versions of industry-standard music software: Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools | First Focusrite Creative Pack, which features 12 additional plug-ins including the Eleven Lite for real life guitar amp emulations and Black Op for iconic distortions and overdrives.

You also get Softube’s Time and Tone bundle, the Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, 2GB of Loopmasters samples and more. Scarlett 18i8 works flawlessly with all major DAWs on Mac and PC.

Easily Find the Perfect Level
Clipped signals ruin good takes. Make sure you’re always recording at a good level, by keeping an eye on our signature gain halos. They glow a reassuring shade of green when you’re recording at the perfect level, and turn red to indicate overload.

Scarlett 2nd Generation audio interfaces come with the Pro Tools | First Focusrite Creative Pack. This includes Pro Tools | First + 12 plug-ins: Tape Echo, Eleven Lite, Black Op Distortion, Gray Compressor, Graphic EQ, Flanger, Vibe Phaser, Roto Speaker, Sci-Fi Ring Modulator, Vari-Fi Speed Shifter, Studio Reverb, and In Tune Digital Tuner. All this is in addition to Scarlett’s already amazing software bundle which includes Ableton Live Lite.

Description:

Introducing, the Rockville
RCM PRO, our newest high-quality, professional studio/recording condenser
microphone! With it’s large diaphragm it provides smooth, natural sound and low
noise, it also delivers great bass, mids, and highs on all of your recordings.
This microphone is very sensitive to incoming sounds to give you the best
possible sound! In addition, it includes a 25mm cartridge that allows for a
bigger pickup area to pick up incoming sound. The cartridge is the most
important aspect that determines the sound quality, and the RCM Pro has one of
the best quality cartridges available for any microphone under $150. This
microphone sounds better than other name brand microphones that cost twice the
price!

The body of the microphone is
made of a special zinc metal material. The super strong construction prevents
noises from shocks and vibrations. This is especially important when recording
loud music including drums and bass. The microphone head is made of strong, high
quality steel and features a one-piece microphone head design. Most microphones
will have a microphone head that is 2 pieces glued together. Our one-piece
microphone head ensures longer life, and better durability. In addition, it
helps to eliminate unwanted vibrations that may occur. This microphone has two
capacitors (22µ50V and 47µ16V). We used Samsung capacitors from Korea, which are
the highest quality capacitors on the market. These are important to help
stabilize the voltage so that your recordings are consistent throughout, even if
there are sudden changes in the volume or frequency ranges. We compared this
microphone to the 3 most famous brands of microphones and the RCM PRO
outperformed similar microphones that sell for over double the price!

If you notice that some of your audio is missing, you should check the phase of your recordings. This feature also allows you to take a split left and right feed from a stereo interview and send both tracks to each side of your headphones.
