While you delve into your performance, Clip Safe works diligently behind the scenes. Monitoring your levels at an astonishing rate of 96,000 times per second, this feature automatically adjusts gain to prevent any risk of clipping. It’s like you’ve got your own engineer monitoring your levels whilst you record your voice or instrument. Never worry about losing a take because of clipping again.
Enhance Your Audio with Air Mode
Air mode, a staple of the Focusrite Scarlett series, has been re-engineered for the 4th Generation. Air mode instantly enhances your audio with a musical presence and drive - just like a professional recording console in a big studio. With the press of a button, Air mode accentuates the unique character and harmonic content of your audio sources. Once you’ve turned Air mode on, you’ll find it hard to turn it off.
