USB Audio Interface

4-in/4-out recording interface with two preamps, extra line inputs, MIDI and updated software

Overview

The Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen USB Audio Interface is a flexible desktop recording hub for musicians, producers, synth users, podcasters and content creators who need more connectivity than a simple two-input interface. With two ultra-low-noise mic/line/instrument preamps, two additional line inputs, four line outputs, MIDI I/O, loopback, Auto Gain, Clip Safe and two Air modes, the 4i4 is built for recording vocals, guitars, keyboards, drum machines and outboard gear with professional clarity. Its updated software bundle gives you the tools to start writing, recording, producing, mixing and finishing music right away.

Features

The Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen gives you two Focusrite preamps with a wide 69 dB gain range, making it suitable for everything from quiet vocal takes to louder instrument sources. The front-panel inputs support microphone, line and instrument signals, while the additional rear-panel line inputs make it easy to keep synths, drum machines, keyboards or other stereo sources connected.

Auto Gain helps set recording levels quickly, and Clip Safe helps protect takes from unwanted clipping by monitoring levels while you perform. These features are especially useful for creators working alone, where staying focused on the performance matters just as much as getting the technical setup right.

The 4i4 also adds MIDI In and Out, making it a strong fit for hybrid setups with controllers, synths, drum machines and external MIDI hardware. Four line outputs support expanded routing for monitors, outboard gear or alternate mixes, while loopback makes it easier to capture computer audio for streaming, sampling, podcasting and online content creation. Two Air modes add creative tone shaping, with Presence mode for added clarity and Harmonic Drive for extra warmth and character.

Included Software

Avid Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite provides essential audio and MIDI tools for music production, along with a curated selection of more than 80 effects and instrument plugins. Ableton Live Lite gives creators instruments, effects and Live’s clip-and-scene launching workflow for building ideas and performances. Cubase LE supports high-quality songwriting and production projects with up to 16 audio tracks, 24 MIDI tracks for external instruments and eight instrument tracks.

New Splice accounts receive three months of Splice Sounds membership, offering access to millions of high-quality, royalty-free one-shots, loops and presets, with new releases added daily. The Hitmaker Expansion helps users create studio-quality vocals, powerful guitars, dramatic synths and huge drums, then mix and master with software inspired by iconic Focusrite studio hardware.
