TAKE FULL CONTROL

Focusrite Control 2 is the perfect companion app for Scarlett 4th Gen and ISA C8X interfaces. 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.
Advanced monitoring: All your device's monitoring functions are at your fingertips – rapidly switch between monitoring groups and adjust output levels when your device is in a rack or beyond arms reach

User Reviews

Users see Focusrite Control 2 as a handy, workflow-boosting remote for Scarlett interfaces, especially when it connects. It can control headphone mixes, mic levels, and monitor routing and integrates with Logic Remote. However, many reviews highlight reliability and compatibility issues across iOS, macOS, and hardware generations, plus missing UI features like remembering the last mix or naming mixes. When connection is stable, the app is praised for sound and usefulness; overall stability and broad compatibility remain the main concerns.

Pros

Reliable connectivity and easy pairing for some users.
Remotely control headphone mixes, monitor levels and mic levels without a separate mixer.
Integrates with DAWs/remote apps (e.g., Logic Remote) to enhance workflow.
When it works, users praise sound quality and overall usability.

Cons

Frequent connection/pairing problems across iOS and macOS, with users reporting trouble connecting, staying connected, or pairing.
Compatibility limitations with hardware generations and platforms (older/newer Scarlett models, iPad vs Mac, some generations not supported).
UI/UX gaps and feature requests (remembering last mix, naming mixes, channel labeling, and headphone-volume control).
Occasional crashes or instability reported by some users.

Tried everything on the planet and could NEVER get the app to connect for control. Ridiculous

For basic stereo control, it’s fine. But for multi-channel audio, (MCA) it’s useless. Problem 1: The app can’t be oriented horizontally. That’s totally unacceptable. For those of us working in MCA, we need quick visualization reference of our channels. Horizontal allows more real estate. Problem 2: The monitoring tab of the app still only gives you one knob. You get these options for control: a master knob, mute, dim, main and alt. The alt mix still only gives you a single master knob. No virtual control for each channel. Why? Seriously…why? Why engineer and manufacture an interface capable of MCA and develop such a lackluster virtual controller? How does this make any sense? When I compare this to Audient’s ORIA MCA controller app, I can’t help but wonder what went wrong. I don’t want to go to my mix tab to “control” my channels since I’m not mixing. I want to “control”. I do my mixes ITB and with real control surfaces. I use Icon’s Pro G2 and two EX G2’s. If the interface itself had output control, that would be fine. In-fact, I’d prefer that over an app. But, no such control on the unit. So, no output channel control on the unit and no output controls in the app. Why not a simple 5.1 and 7.1 template with 6 or 8 corresponding buttons? Is Focusrite telling us in 2026 that they can’t virtualize SPL’s SMC? Adding these features to the app would really give Focusrite a massive, hard to refuse edge as incentiveware over MOTU and other competitors. Especially UA. Hey Focusrite, it would be in yours and the users best interest to make this happen in a matter of a few hours or two days tops. I’m not asking for physical buttons on the interface. That requires a whole new device with R&D, schematics, new costs, etc. No! Just asking for a decent virtual controller to…you know, match what your hardware can already do! 😒So here is all that’s needed in the monitoring section: These are simple virtual buttons btw: -Mute all -dim -Mono LS/RS -Mono L/R -Stereo mix -Surround mix -L -C -R -LS -RS -LFE -giant knob Hope to see this happen. Hope to see such an awesome unit get the control it deserves.
