Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen) Review & Sound Test

This is the nicest sounding Focusrite Scarlett audio interface I've tested so far. To my ears, the pre-amp sounded sweeter than the pre-amps on Komplete Audio 6, Presonus Audiobox and Zoom H6 – a few of which I use a lot.

What's to hate about the Scarlett? I've not mentioned the software & plugins that come bundled with the device, which is a nice welcome, but expect to take some time setting them up (with validation processes, and more).

The buttons on the Scarlett was really modern, but I find it a little too easy to accidentally push them.

Headphone out was quite standard, but don't expect to go really loud with them (it's going to be a headache, pairing headphones with an impedance of more than 200 ohms with the Scarlett Solo on bus power.)
