Everything you need to know is covered in this single video. Use the Chapters to navigate to different sections.
The Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 Generation 3 is an incredible audio interface.
It has 4 great mic pre-amps with 56dB of gain
2 independent headphone outputs
4 Line inputs
4 Line outputs to connect two sets of studio monitors or to route audio out to external audio gear (compressor, eq, etc...)
Speaker Switching
S/PDIF
ADAT
Loopback
and way more.
With the included Focusrite Control you can route audio and setup different mixes for each output.
So, you could have a DAW control room mix for your speakers, a different mix with the Direct Monitor for a singer using headphone 1, and a different mix for a guitar player using headphone 2.
With Loopback you can record computer audio, like a video w/audio playing in a browser, and record that into your DAW.
Or, send your DAW audio out (even ASIO audio) into OBS, Streamlabs, Zoom, Skype, etc... and live stream with your DAW and plugins, and/or record a DAW or plugin tutorial/demo video for YouTube.
The Loopback implementation is probably the best I have used.
Other features include AIR for each of the 4 front inputs. AIR models the frequency response of the classic Focusrite ISA preamps. AIR adds clarity and detail to the top end and works GREAT with the Shure SM7B, which tends to be a 'warm' sounding mic. Of course it works well for other mics, and even guitar or bass.
Speaker Switching lets you switch between two pairs of studio monitors (access in Focusrite Control)
Change the color of your Gain Halos.
Turn on Phantom Power in pairs.
Add 8 more inputs using the Optical ADAT Input - great for adding an external mic pre-amp.
S/PDIF input & output for digital gear like guitar processors, vocal processors, FX units, etc...
All of this, and more, will be covered in this single video.
The Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 is an 18in /8out audio interface (those numbers include ADAT and SPDIF)
