TAKE FULL CONTROL Introducing Focusrite Control 2, the perfect companion app for your Scarlett 4th Gen interface. Designed for musicians, producers, and audio engineers, this powerful app gives you the freedom to remotely control your Scarlett's inputs and direct monitoring mixes from anywhere within your recording space. You no longer have to stay at your desk — experience the true flexibility and convenience of wireless control. KEY FEATURES: - Seamless wireless pairing: Seamlessly pair the app to Focusrite Control 2 on your desktop computer and enjoy wireless control. Adjust inputs and direct monitoring mixes whilst being free to roam around your recording space. - Set the perfect gain: Control your Scarlett's preamps, including Auto Gain, from wherever you are in in your recording space. It’s perfect for recording alone, allowing you to stay in your recording position without needing to move. - Multiple device control: Dial in headphone mixes with ease with control of the level, pan, mute, and solo for each channel. And if you're recording multiple musicians, they each have control of their own headphone mix so they can focus on capturing a great performance. COMPATIBILITY: - Focusrite Control 2 is compatible with all Scarlett 4th Gen interfaces. Make sure the desktop version of Focusrite Control 2 is installed on the computer your Scarlett is plugged in to, and your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same wireless network. - Focusrite Control 2 cannot control your Scarlett when it is connected via USB to your mobile/tablet

PLEASE ALLOW FOR DIRECT CONNECTION VIA USB FOR MY 18i8
Jun 28

Caleell
I haven’t gotten this to work on my IPad even when my Mac has the focusrite control app on but I honestly could care less. I make music on iOS using GarageBand and on iPad using Logic Pro. PLEASE could you guys make an update allowing my 18i8 to be operated from my iPad via usb? I haven’t recorded anything yet but I know it’s going to be very tedious and annoying to have to connect my 18i8 to my Mac just to activate any settings. Allowing direct usb connection to my iPad would be perfect to avoid that. Thank you.

Hello,This app is a remote control for Scarlett 4th Gen owners to control their interface when they are away from their computer, for example, behind a drum kit.I'm sorry you've had trouble using your 18i8 on your iPad. Whilst not officially supported by us, the 18i8 can pass audio in and out of the iPad using Apple's Core Audio driver. There isn't a way to set up routing/mixing on your 18i8 directly from the iPad; I understand it is inconvenient to connect the 18i8 to your Mac to set this up, but once setup correctly, the settings will remain on the 18i8 and you'll be able to use it with your iPad. If you need further help, our support team are on hand via our website.

Channel names?

I’ve gotten it to connect and work just fine. Is there not a way to add names of the channels in the app? I was hoping a cheat sheet wouldn’t be necessary. Also it’d be nice if it didn’t default to (Mix A) when you open it. Otherwise, the app is great and does what it should no problem. Thank you please help!

I think this is a great app. No trouble connecting. I think people only leave reviews for these things when they don’t work, but for me this is very useful as a solo producer.

I love my scarlet solo 4th gen, but the connection process between the iPhone and the Desktop apps are nearly impossible to get working. I hope for a fix here soon!
