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. We have always believed that we should enable musicians to never stop creating – and we’ve seen our community continue to produce world-class recordings, while never failing to surprise and delight us with the quality and diversity of the music they produce.
