## Description

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
 
COMPATIBILITY:
 
- Focusrite Control 2 is compatible with Scarlett 4th Gen and ISA C8X 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

## Review summary

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.
