Focusrite iTrack Solo Lightning and USB Compatible Audio Interface Recorder

Balancing quality, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness for musicians, podcasters, and producers, the Focusrite iTrack Solo Lightning and USB Compatible Audio Interface Records provides an easy way to simultaneously record vocals and an instrument to a Mac/Windows computer or a Lightning-equipped iPad, rendering it a capable audio solution for creators working at home or on the road.

Featuring a Focusrite microphone preamp with selectable phantom power and up to 55 dB of gain, the iTrack Solo is a great match for studio condenser microphones or dynamic mics. The front panel also has a 1/4" Hi-Z input for direct recording of an instrument such as an electric guitar, a bass guitar, or a keyboard.

Each input offers its own dedicated gain knob, outfitted with a bicolor halo around the knob to provide feedback for setting optimal recording levels. The iTrack Solo is equipped with a 1/4" headphone output and a stereo RCA line output, so you can monitor privately through headphones or turn it up loud through a pair of powered speakers. A single large knob on the right of the interface provides a unified output level control for the headphone and line outputs.

Flip on the direct monitor switch to hear your input signal without latency during recording. This function still includes the output from your computer, so you can use it for effective overdubs. The iTrack Solo supports digital resolutions up to 24-bit / 96 kHz when connected to a computer or up to 24-bit / 48 kHz when used with an iPad, ensuring respectable AD/DA conversion quality and compatibility with playback of high-resolution audio files.

Giving you the tools you need to start recording and mixing immediately, the interface is bundled with Ableton Live Lite music production software and the Focusrite Scarlett Plug-In Suite, the latter providing several audio processing tools including gate, reverb, compression, and EQ. It also works with popular programs such as Garageband, Pro Tools, Cubase, and more.

Portable recording with Focusrite quality Focusrite made their name by designing world-class microphone preamps, and they've put one in the compact iTrack Solo. The sound is open and detailed, and a phantom power switch accommodates your condenser microphones.

Easy instrument recording You've also got a direct instrument input on the iTrack Solo in addition to the mic preamp. That makes it easy for you to record your guitar or bass directly, and also gives you the opportunity to record a vocal performance at the same time as an instrument.

Great interface at home, on the go, or on both You'll find the iTrack Solo incredibly simple to use because Focusrite designed it for easy portable recording with your iPad. And since it's so simple and easy to use, it's a great high-quality, no-frills audio interface for home use too.

A software suite makes music creation easy The iTrack Solo includes powerful software tools that will get you making music in no time. With Ableton Live Lite 9, it's easy to create music with a Mac or PC. The Focusrite Scarlett plug-in suite gives you a collection of software plug-ins to add effects to your music software. The iTrack Solo also works with current iPad DAWs including Garageband, Cubasis, Auria, and more.
