Key Features
Product Ref: 335897
Unlock the classic sound that skyrocketed Focusrite to the apex of studio recording processors with the all-analog AIR mode. Emulating the sound of the classic ISA 110 that was featured on the original Studio Console, the AIR mode offers a distinctive character to your sound by increasing the input impedance and stacking two high shelves simultaneously. The result is a bright, articulate and vintage-inspired sound with a subtle amount of classic console saturation with a 4dB boost in the upper-frequency range. All-analog, this circuit is controllable for each channel via the onboard switch, making it incredibly easy to hear how this mode affects your tone in your recordings. Make vocals shine, drums pop and guitars sit forward in the mix all while carving a clear and spacious sound in your instruments with AIR mode.
With Hitmaker Expansion, you have a place to record your music with Ableton Live Lite. Virtual instruments including Addictive Keys and Addictive Drums 2 with Studio Rock Kit. Guitar amplifier simulation through the Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555. Effects to mix and process your tracks with a selection of Brainworx plug-ins. Antares Auto-Tune Access to polish off your vocal recordings and lastly three months of Splice Sounds subscription to add in the finishing touches with after-effects, loops and beats.

This powerful AI-driven plugin will analyse your instrumental/vocal track and create three different tonal options to enhance your audio/track. Its simple and intuitive design allows you to select between three tonal profiles - Warm, Neutral and Bright, accompanied by an 'Intensity' slider, acting as a wet/dry mix knob.

Often in the studio, calling upon external hardware and outboard equipment is vital in achieving the sound in your head. With the Clarett+ OctoPre, you can connect a wide range of external devices using the eight dedicated channel inserts. Seamlessly integrate your external compressors to your bass and vocal recordings or insert your favourite EQ to your electric guitar signal or even patch in your favourite hardware reverb to add ambience to your vocals, it's all possible with the OctoPre
No matter how good your recording chain and preamps, your sound will ultimately be defined by the conversion on hand within your system. The Clarett+ OctoPre boasts new and improved converters to give you the confidence that your sound is being monitored exactly the way it was recorded. Outperforming many of its competitors, the Clarett+ OctoPre boasts ultra-low noise floor with a tremendous level of headroom to ensure that all of your incoming audio is captured with stunning accuracy and heard exactly the way it went in. Now, you can be sure of your mixing decisions that what you're hearing is the way it will be heard on every system, creating the perfect balanced mix for your song.

For producers integrated with other audio interfaces, the ADAT connectivity of the Clarett+ OctoPre brings the classic sound of Focusrite to your recordings, allowing you to access the stunning sonic fidelity and vintage-inspired character of the AIR mode.
Crucial in the world of modern instrument recordings, the Clarett+ OctoPre lets you take a D.I signal via the onboard instrument inputs. These D.I signals can be used for editing purposes, future re-amping, with software amplifier simulations or simply as a fail-safe for if any problems occur with your miced guitar amplifier during recording. Preserving the natural tone of your guitar, these dual instrument inputs are built using JFET preamps. Stunning bandwidth and clarity maintain the purity of the entire frequency range and respond quickly and accurately to your transients, making it feel like you're plugging directly into your favourite amplifier. Ideal for mixing and mastering, using your D.I input with a range of software emulations in tandem with a recorded guitar amplifier can create unique tones that simply wouldn't be possible when restricted to the analog domain.
