Generally speaking, you won't even really hear the benefits of 96kHz unless you're recording audio with a lot of nuance, spoken word, perhaps a close-mic'd string quartet, acoustic folk etc etc. If one is recording 'rock and pop' music, ie music that distorts the sound-wave in some way (and of course I count 'synth' sounds found in pop and other music in that), then really 44.1 or 48 is more than enough. Increasing from there will increase the size of your project files, although also improve your latency figures, so there are pros and cons that come with the choice. Si // Focusrite

Gotcha, yeah I have a couple of SHO's at home that I've built, but as you mention, they go from unison as opposed to having a grounding volume output control. Just checked out the LPB, and I reckon that looks perfect, cheers. Si

To be honest, I'd always be looking to DI my bass if the signal is going to be relatively clean, EQ it in the DAW. I'd only consider mic'ing a cab or using a cab simulator if I was going for a distorted bass tone. That said, there's so many decent cab sim and overdrive plugins now, I'd probably still just go DI and dry lol Si

If I could just have it's boost section, then yes......but it's to go in another pedal, so needs to be little Cheers though Si

Hey all, Is anyone aware of a boost kit that doesn't start from unison, that starts from -∞ and then also boosts past unity. Might have a little project that could benefit an output volume control that goes from fully cut to a little boost (doesn't need to be crazy). Thoughts? Si

A fair bit of audio spec improvement has been made between the iTrack Solo and the new 3rd Gen Scarletts, not to mention extra features such as 'Air'. By 'more serious', it might be worth having a think about what that might mean in the mid-term (ie how many inputs might you want to record simultaneously etc), because you might decide that a few more inputs/outputs might be helpful, even it's just a 2i2 which allows for two Mic/Instrument/Line, as opposed to one Mic and one Instrument/Line that the Solo offers. Hope that helps, if not, feel free to drop me a PM or facebook message Si // Focusrite

No bother at all, enjoy ☺️ Si

Hi all, I'm not sure what is being referred to as USB noise?! It could be a mis-translation with terminology, but it is very rarely the interface (whatever the brand) or the USB cable that causes humming/buzzing. As above, it could be a multitude of things such as bad electrics, other electronics in the vicinity affecting speaker monitors that are using unbalanced cables, a cheap laptop with poor power regulation etc etc. In any case, should anyone be having ongoing issues with getting the results that they expect, it's perhaps worth contacting our Technical Support team for help and advice. They're particularly busy at the moment due to a huge increase in people getting into music-making and recording (which is great), but they will come back to you asap: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new All the best Si // Focusrite Media Relations

A few points to note from what I've read: - iTrack Solo will come with a Lightning connector for your iOS device. Previous versions had the 30 pin cable included, however these are legacy units and you should ensure you're purchasing the Lightning connector version. They also come with a standard USB cable for connection to computer. - Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen has better audio specs than it's previous 2nd Gen iteration, and the iTrack Solo. As such, if iOS recording is not required (ie you're just using a computer), I'd get the Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen. Please note, that while not officially supported at this time, Scarlett devices will work with iOS devices as they are 'class compliant', however the bus-powered Scarlett's will require the Apple camera connection kit in order to power them at the same time. Scarlett's have a USB-C connection on them, but come with a cable that connects to a standard USB-A port. They will of course work with a USB-C to USB-C cable if that's the connection on the computer. Hope that helps, please let me know if you have any further questions Si // Focusrite Media Relations

I’ve known mine for a while: ‘Hymn For The Greatest Generation’ By Caspian ’The Love’ by The Dear Hunter ’I’m Super’ by Big Gay Al (South Park: The Movie) Epic, poignant and funny in equal measure, got to curate a good vibe ammirite 😁 Si

Really like the gold one, shame about the pickups though (IMO). Si

Amazing, thanks very much for the input! Si

Hmmm, that’s odd as the build instructions show an LM386 as a legit replacement?! Unless they just mean that tonally it works, but fail to mention the 386 pinout is different?! Hmmmm Si

Yes it’s that pedal and switch arrangement, I can assure you it’s correct, it’s just funny angles 😊 Si

Definitely a new fingerboard, or at least an excellent job at extending the original, it’s squared off, so no way original at the heel. Si

No, it’s wired to the middle lug on the right ☺️ Cheers Si

Recently built up this JMK Bass Overdrive pedal as a lockdown project. Unfortunately there’s a fault and while the bypass is fine, engaging the pedal results in no effect, a very quiet clean signal and a constant high pitched tone. Volume control has a small effect, but gain and tone controls have no discernible effect. I was a bit of a numpty and didn’t test the board before I wired it up....so I don’t know what’s at fault. Have replaced IC and transistors (as they’re socketed) to no avail. Only one LED is lighting, but it’s my understanding that’s bot really an issue with this clipping. I’ll try reflowing the switch next, if no improvement, I’m not sure I have the inclination to unbox the whole thing to test the board lol....we’ll see. Anyone want to troubleshoot it for me? 😂 Si

I THINK I saw this company at NAMM a couple of years ago, same crazy pricing and everything was just horrible to look at (IMHO). I’m sure they play nicely, and sound great, but other than that......nope lol Si

I don’t believe the OP has come back to comment since posting the topic, so kinda seems like a somewhat redundant conversation until they do?! Si

I’m trying to stop myself from starting a build in lockdown, and the Guitar Build stuff seems pretty solid!? That said, I have limited to no access to finishing tools/materials, so that might scupper me before I start haha Si

Looks fantastic, great job! Si

Cue the swathe of comments about it not being any good purely on the grounds that they don’t like it lol. Not sure who the bassist is, but quite frankly could be any number of players in the US, a lot of VERY capable players on that pop/hip-hop scene! Si
