Focusrite Scarlett Solo question
Hi all. I have a Scarlett Solo and have a question about the gain controls on both the microphone and instrument panels. If I turn up the gain all the way up to 7 I hear or will record nothing but when I reach 8 or more it starts to pick up signals and after that I only have to move either of the dials a fraction and the gain picks up immensely. It goes from very quiet to extremely loud at the smallest adjustment and it's frustrating trying to get the right balance. At present I have the microphone on 9 and that is using a dynamic microphone and also 9 on the instrument gain and that is using a Cort MR710F which has a Fishman pickup. Is this normal for the gain to have such a narrow window of adjustment.
Cheers, Paul

To be honest I don't know how this product got passed to go on the market the way the gain controls are. Its like they don't really want to sell them. For me its workable, but I bet many return them and buy a different product.

Thanks Chuck and Barry. At least now I know it is a normal problem and not just a fault with my unit. Frustrating but I will manage with it.
Cheers, Paul

Supposedly they changed the taper on the pots in V2 of these interfaces. Is it a V1 or V2 model?

I am not too sure Keith. I have had this one for a few years and I just looked up images of the 2nd gen models but I could not see any differences or markings that were different from mine. The driver for it when I looked it up on the computer is dated 2/10/2014.

Thanks for that. I found the box and it is a Gen 1 so looks like I might be upgrading in the future.
