Plug in and produce. All your instruments, all the time. 8i6 is studio sound for all your hardware.

The two 3rd Generation Scarlett mic preamps sound great straight out of the box. Air mode recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres and makes vocals and guitars shine.

The high-impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs are great for recording guitar or bass without clipping, while our iconic Gain Halos make it easy to set input levels fast.

Four balanced outputs are hum-free for pristine monitoring, and are ideal as FX sends. Two powerful headphone outputs with individual level controls let you monitor, mix and master however you want. Loopback makes streaming and sampling simple.

Get started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, and Cubase LE. From there, the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to add big-studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of instruments and effects from the biggest names in the business.
