Scarlett Interfaces: Never Stop Creating

Celebrating the heart of Scarlett — its people

Scarlett is known as the interface of the people — Scarlett interfaces have found their way into millions of home and professional studios and have enabled musicians, songwriters, and producers to record, mix and play back audio worldwide. Scarlett is easy to use and is backed by Focusrite’s unparalleled customer experience and know-how — it’s a force to be reckoned with.

What really makes Scarlett a success, though, is the people that use it. Focusrite have always believed in enabling musicians to never stop creating – and have seen their community continue to produce world-class recordings, while never failing to surprise and delight with the quality and diversity of the music they produce.

Celebrating Community 

Who uses Scarlett, and what do they use it for? The sheer diversity of both the practical uses of the Scarlett range and the people using Scarlett interfaces is incredible. Focusrite really wants to celebrate their users and share their stories with the wider community, so, across the coming weeks, Focusrite will be spotlighting a different artist and share their stories, experiences, and tips with their growing community of creators.
