The so-called Snow blizzard isn’t stopping Fed-Ex from dropping this off today! WOO HOO!!!

As soon as this baby got dropped off, I opened it up, registered the product, installed the driver, turned it on, plugged it in and this baby sounds amazing!!!

Yeah, since this is a phantom powered interface, I am able to use my Shure SM86 condenser mic which is phantom powered. I plugged in the phantom powered SM86 mic to this, turned on the phantom power and the SM86 works!

I plugged in the guitar and played around with the guitar and vocals and guess what, y’all?

The sound on this thing is perfectly clean. No annoying hissing, audio humming or any of that stuff. Sounds just like a real recording studio just like how I wanted it.

This thing is badass and I’m already happy with it. Thank god I’m finally able to use my SM86 mic ’cause that was an expensive microphone, I remember.

I didn’t get the studio speaker monitors yet. Hopefully tomorrow or later this week. As soon as I get the studio monitors, I’ll hook up those to this interface to hear how those sound.

Pretty psyched to have this new gear!

Now my next step is to find a DAW to record with and I’m probably gonna go with the free Ableton Live that they give ya with this until I find something better down the road. Who knows, I’ll probably stick with Ableton if I like it enough. I’ll give it a try. Ableton comes with the Focusrite.

I’m now able to make professional studio recordings which is about freakin’ time! The Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 was definitely worth the money!
