Common Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB Audio Interface and AT2020 Vocal Recording Bundle Questions
Can I use a MIDI keyboard with the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen? How do I set it up?
No, the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen doesn't have MIDI inputs/outputs. You'll need an interface with MIDI ports or a keyboard that connects directly via USB to your computer.
How do I use the Auto Gain and Clip Safe features on the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen?
Press the gain halo to engage Auto Gain, which automatically sets your input level. Clip Safe automatically lowers the gain if clipping is detected during recording; both features are enabled or disabled by a short press of the input gain knob.
My AT2020 microphone isn't picking up any sound when connected to the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen. What could be the problem?
Ensure 48V phantom power is enabled on the Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen by pressing the '48V' button, as the AT2020 is a condenser microphone and requires it to operate. Also, double-check your cable connections and gain settings.
What are the key differences between the 3rd and 4th generation Scarlett 2i2 interfaces?
The 4th Gen Scarlett 2i2 features upgraded preamps with more gain and lower noise, dynamic gain halos for better level monitoring, Auto Gain & Clip Safe features, and improved headphone output for a wider dynamic range compared to the 3rd Gen.
I'm getting a lot of static or background noise when recording with the AT2020 and Scarlett 2i2. How can I reduce it?
Try lowering the input gain on the Scarlett 2i2 and moving the microphone closer to the sound source. Also, ensure you're using a high-quality XLR cable and that your recording environment is as quiet as possible.
