Portable recording with Focusrite quality

Focusrite made their name by designing world-class microphone preamps, and they've put one in the compact iTrack Solo. The sound is open and detailed, and a phantom power switch lets you use condenser microphones with the iTrack Solo. So even if you're away from your studio, you'll still be able to record great-sounding takes.

Easy instrument recording

You've also got a direct instrument input on the iTrack Solo in addition to the mic preamp. That makes it easy for you to record your guitar or bass directly, and also gives you the opportunity to recording a vocal performance at the same time as an instrument performance.

Great interface at home, on the go, or both

You'll find the iTrack Solo incredibly easy to use, because Focusrite designed it for easy portable recording with your iPad. And since it's so simple and easy to use it's a great audio interface for home use too, when you're looking for no-frills simplicity that doesn't sacrifice audio quality.

A software suite makes music creation easy

The iTrack Solo includes powerful software tools that will get you making music in no time. With Ableton Live Lite 8, it's easy to create music with a Mac or PC. Novation's Bass Station is an accurate model of a legendary Novation synthesizer. The Focusrite Scarlett plug-in suite gives you a collection of software plug-ins to add effects to your music software. Plus, you get 1GB of royalty-free sample content from Loopmasters. The iTrack Solo also works with current iPad DAWs including Wave Machine Labs Auria and Steinberg Cubasis.

NOTE: Focusrite now offers a free 1.2m long device link cable when you register your iTrack Solo on the Focusrite website.

Mitch Gallagher

If you're looking to get great-sounding audio in and out of your computer or iOS device, then you must take a look at two new offerings from Focusrite: Forte and iTrack Solo. iTrack Solo is one of the first audio interfaces that can connect directly to an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with a 30-pin connector. It can also connect to your computer via USB, making it a double value. On the front, you have two inputs -- one for mic (with phantom power) and one for instruments -- along with a monitor level control, a headphone output, and a switch for latency-free monitoring. Around back, you have a USB connection, a Device Link port for the 30-pin iOS cable, and monitor outputs. I used iTrack Solo with my iPad 3, and it worked flawlessly with my apps, from Garageband to Auria, and with a variety of soft synths and instruments. The sound quality is great, and the direct monitoring does its job perfectly. If you're looking for a simple interface, but still want great quality, the iTrack Solo should be high on your list. Moving on to the desktop-format Forte, we've got a 2-in/4-out interface that connects to your computer via USB 2.0. The unit itself has stereo TRS outputs and a headphone output, along with connectors for the power supply, USB, and the supplied input "loom." Connecting the loom cable to the Forte adds two 1/4" line/instrument and two XLR mic inputs. The advantage is that, if you're using the Forte only for monitoring, there's no need to connect the inputs and have the extra cables on your desk. But when it's time to track, it's a simple matter of hooking up the inputs. Forte has a single large knob, four switches, and an OLED display. The switches control what the knob is controlling: input gain, monitor level, headphone level, or DAW control -- with compatible DAWs, pushing the control knob starts/stops playback, and turning the knob changes the DAW output level. Other functions are handled by the included Forte Control software, such as input controls; two stereo returns for monitoring your DAW; monitor dim, mute, and mono; a separate headphone mix; and metering. You can save presets for easy recall when tracking and mixing. The compact, streamlined Forte desktop interface delivers high-end performance in every regard. I can't emphasize enough how easy it is to use -- a real benefit when you are inspired to record or compose. It definitely gets out of the way of the muse. Very nice!

If you're like a lot of the recording engineers here at Sweetwater, then you probably grew up with stories of the legendary Focusrite Forte console and its ISA preamps. Our relationship with Focusrite is extremely tight, and we regularly enjoy everything from the inside scoop on new gear to fish and chips when they stop by Sweetwater. While Focusrite still produces the classic analog preamps, EQs, and compressors we love, our Sales Engineers are just as excited to introduce our customers to their remarkable RedNet network audio platform, and we have worked with Focusrite to outfit studios, churches, venues, and schools with this awesome technology in action. From everyday audio interfaces to full system designs, if you want Focusrite gear, Sweetwater has you covered.
