It's expensive but it worths it
Letoss 01.08.2022
I already had it for a couple of months.
The quality of the Audio interface is great. I think everyone knows that when they buy a Focurwritte.

I read around that it has some drivers issues. I can confirm that, I have windows 11 and I use Cubase 10.5. At recording time it works perfectly, but when I just wanna play the guitar using it and I load some VST like Archetype, I start getting a lot of clipping. While recording you also get these clippings while playing, the clipping is not in the final recorded track. I tried changing the buffer size and everything that I could think about. But at the end of the day, I still got those annoying clippings.

I'm happy with the quality of my recordings. But the clipping can be really annoying.

Disappointed
Ringo S 28.03.2024
I still own an older Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 which I was completely happy with. Then my old Windows computer gave up its life and I had to use my Apple Mac Book Pro setup. Needless to say that I struggled to connect my old interface via Firewire as I could not find any adapter/dongle anymore. So I bought the Clarett + 2 Pre because I also need to connect my Focusrite OctroPre Dynamik which I use for my entire drum set.

The Clarett seems easy to use BUT I struggled at first to get any sound until I found out that you have to turn up the monitor more than half to hear anything. Before that there is no gain. Next thing is that you cannot control the headphone dial without the monitor dial. The two seem to work only together and that makes no sense if you use it on your desk for monitoring yourself whilst recording. Then I need to switch between the different outputs to quiet my near field monitors. That was all so convenient with the old Saffire, but on the Clarett+ it seems quite strange. So really, my workflow is more complicated than it needs to be.

I am also hosting a radio show on a local Radiostation and I use a Rode PodMic USB to connect to the Clarett+ and there is not enough gain. So now I am in need also of a Cloulifter or any other type of devise to increase the gain level. Strangely enough the gain issue is also present when I use a Neumann TLM 102 which uses Phantom Power!

So overall I am quite disappointed. Yes it works, it sounds gut but the handling and gain topic just kills the impression.

If someone reading this review has an old Apple Firewire to USB adapter to spare and does not need it anymore please consider selling it to me (not for a ridiculous price please) so I can use my old trusted Saffire again. You can find me on Youtube RMD (rocky dream).

Excellent Replacement

I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. I compared it with the MOTU M4 and this won hands down. Although a little more expensive the build quality and sound made me more than happy with this product.
