OVERVIEW
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Scarlett 18i8, one of the family of Focusrite professional computer
audio interfaces incorporating high quality Focusrite analogue pre-amplifiers. You now have a
compact yet highly versatile solution for routing high quality audio to and from your computer. You
can also use the Scarlett 18i8 as a “stand-alone” interface to any other type of recording device, once
you have configured it using Scarlett MixControl software.
This User Guide provides a detailed explanation of the hardware and software to help you achieve a
thorough understanding of the product’s operational features. We recommend that you take the time
to read through the user guide, whether you’re new to computer recording or a more experienced
user, so that you are fully aware of all the possibilities that the Scarlett 18i8 and accompanying
software have to offer. If the main User Guide sections do not provide the information you need, be
sure to consult http://www.focusrite.com/answerbase, which contains a comprehensive collection of
answers to common technical support queries.
Features
The Scarlett 18i8 hardware interface provides the means for connecting microphones, musical
instruments, line level audio signals and S/PDIF digital audio signals to a computer running
compatible versions of Mac OS or Windows via one of the computer’s USB ports. The signals at the
physical inputs can be routed to your audio recording software / digital audio workstation (referred
to throughout this user guide as the “DAW”) at up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution; similarly, the DAW’s
monitor or recorded output signals can be configured to appear at the unit’s physical outputs.
Audio sources mics, instruments, etc. - connected to the physical inputs can be recorded in your
DAW and then replayed from there to the physical outputs. The physical outputs can be connected
to amplifiers and speakers, powered monitors, headphones, an audio mixer or any other analogue
or digital audio equipment that you wish to use. Although all inputs and outputs on the Scarlett 18i8
are routed directly to and from your DAW for recording and playback, you can configure the routing
within your DAW in order to meet your precise needs.
The accompanying software application, Scarlett MixControl, provides further routing and
monitoring options, as well as the ability to control global hardware settings such as sample rate
and synchronisation.
All inputs on the Scarlett 18i8 are routed directly to your DAW software for recording, but Scarlett
MixControl also allows you to route these signals internally within the device to the outputs so that
you can monitor the audio signals with ultra-low latency - before they arrive at your DAW.
The Scarlett 18i8 also has connectors for sending and receiving MIDI data; this lets you use it as a
MIDI “hub” between your computer’s USB port and other items of MIDI equipment in your system.
