Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 (3rd gen) Review & Loopback Setup

In this video, I will be doing an honest review and unboxing of the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 third-generation USB-C audio interface. The Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 is a USB-C-powered audio interface with 4 inputs and 4 outputs. I will show you how to set up this audio interface, and go through all its functions, as well as the software functions, including loopback setup. I’m using FL Studio in this video, but this works in other DAWs too. The Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd gen brings some new and useful features over the previous model. Here are some of the key features: The Scarlett 4i4 (3rd gen) brings a new feature to the Scarlett lineup and that’s Loopback. This is a software/digital input that allows you to bring in any software on your computer (ex: Skype for podcast interviews) and record that input onto its own separated channel in your DAW. The third generation Scarlett 4i4 now comes with USB-C as standard. The preamps of the 4i4 have also been improved and provide more gain compared to previous models. The air and pad feature is still there, although it has been moved into the software instead. The physical buttons are no longer found on the front of the audio interface. This is going to be an honest review after using the Scarlett 4i4 audio interface for more than 6 months. I made sure to shoot the unboxing when I first got it, so I’ve included that in the video as well. I’ll cover all the pros and cons of this audio interface, based on my experience with it over the past 6 months.
