Common Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3 USB Audio Interface and AKG P120 Recording Bundle Questions
Can I connect a MIDI keyboard or controller to the Scarlett Solo Gen 3 for recording MIDI instruments in my DAW?
No, the Scarlett Solo Gen 3 does not have MIDI input or output ports. You'll need a separate MIDI interface or a keyboard with USB MIDI connectivity to record MIDI data.
Does the AKG P120 microphone require any specific settings on the Scarlett Solo Gen 3 to work properly?
Yes, make sure to engage the 48V phantom power button on the front of the Scarlett Solo to power the AKG P120, as it's a condenser microphone. Adjust the gain knob until you get a healthy signal without clipping.
My AKG P120 sounds very quiet when recording. What could be the issue?
First, ensure that 48V phantom power is enabled on the Scarlett Solo Gen 3. If the signal is still low, increase the gain on the interface and check the input level in your recording software.
How do I set up the Scarlett Solo Gen 3 as my audio input and output device in my recording software (DAW)?
In your DAW's preferences or settings, locate the 'Audio Device' or 'Audio Interface' section. Select 'Focusrite USB Audio' as both the input and output device to route audio through the Scarlett Solo.
The 'INST' button on the Scarlett Solo Gen 3 is lit. What does this mean and when should I use it?
The 'INST' button enables instrument mode on the first input, optimizing the input impedance for instruments like guitars or basses. Engage it when recording these instruments directly to the interface for a cleaner signal.
