Ridiculous -- RBalentine, 2026-07-07 ### *---- "Useless" 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. -- Nick Asatourian, 2026-06-23 ### ****- "This is a 5 star app, except for…" Connects every time: 5 stars (it connects thought your router/wifi and your MacOS network, if you are having trouble it’s you, not them) This app means you can get away without a separate analogue mixer, control headphone mixies, monitor direct inputs, and set mic levels from across the room (like when behind my drum set) Between this and Logic Remote, I’m living in the future) But please, and you’ve heard this is a common request, and couldn’t be that hart to add to the next update (development pipeline be dammed): Remember the last mix we had selected when we last open the app!!! Seriously 😤 Naming mixes would be nice as well -- Soul Hammond, 2026-04-30 ### ***** "Trying to find app for focusrite 3rd gen 2i2" Please help -- ProGamer NN7, 2026-04-30 ### ***** "苹果手机和福克斯特都太强了" 支持支持支持！！！搭配bandlab有奇效！！！ -- XdcOnTheTrack, 2025-12-30 ### ***-- "Will not connect to desktop app" 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! -- Kebo2264, 2025-12-12 ### **--- "connectivity + reliability needs work" really having a hard time getting connected and staying connected. -- pmack57888, 2025-12-07 ### *---- "4th gen 2i2 showing not supported" I bought my interface thinking it is supported as it is latest version, but tried iPhone, iPad, both showing not supported. -- handbqixkdbwi, 2025-11-21 ### ***** "Very useful" 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. -- TimTomSr, 2025-10-17 ### ***** "Updated Due to Developer's Quick Response" UPDATE 5 Oh boy, I really did it this time, and good! So the app isn't connecting to my phone because there's a VPN in my phone. It's in there, doing silly little things, and one of the things it's doing is not allowing me to connect to this app. My review is back up to FIVE GOLDEN STARS. I gave the one star review to the VPN because it's being very nasty and hurtful to me. Apologies all around! As I write this, I am staring longingly at my 18i20. It is my friend. =D -------------------------- UPDATE 4 Now it won't connect at all, so we're back to one star. I re-installed it on both my Algorithmic Computing Machines™️, both the semi-mobile and mobile computing units, and it just won't connect for anything, by Jove. Is it angry or cross with me? My 18i20 is still great. To my 18i20 I say, "Sorry I had to give your remote algorithm a bad review, old pal." I still like Sandwiches®️, though. =D -------------------------- UPDATE 3 Nothing new to report, just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I'm doing fine. I had a nice sandwich for lunch, might go out to a Mexican restaurant with the family tonight. Cheers! =D -------------------------- UPDATE 2 Focusrite Control 2 seems to be connecting now. Maybe there was an update. Maybe it's Maybelline! Anyhoo, revised this to 5 stars because it is my friend. =D -------------------------- UPDATE 1 My review below is superseded by this one. The developer responded quickly, so that warrants an addition of stars. Unfortunately, I still spend more time connecting than controlling. However, I'm happy with my new interface. My 1st Gen 18i6 served me well for over a decade, and now my 4th Gen 18i20 is my very special friend. It sounds great and has bouncy lights. BOING BOING BOING BOING =D -------------------------- OLD REVIEW, ISSUE SOMEWHAT FIXED It has to reconnect every 2-3 minutes, and that's if you're successful in connecting in the first place. In a given hour, I spend 55 minutes trying to connect, 5 minutes with an actual connection. It also crashes often, more than I did in my high school drivers' ed class. That makes me sad and hurt with myself bigly and yuge. Awful! Terrible! Boo hiss! But the Scarlett 18i20 is great. It is my friend =D -- Captain SPACE, 2025-09-07 ### **--- "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! -- Marcwdoom, 2025-08-31 ### *---- "Useless" Can not control the newest 4th gen Scarlett 18i16 with the iPad app. It only works as a remote controller for the desktop version. I bought this to use as an iPad interface. -- illiacsound, 2025-07-06 ### **--- "PLEASE ALLOW FOR DIRECT CONNECTION VIA USB FOR MY 18i8" 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. -- Caleell, 2025-06-28 ### ****- "App Suggestion" Can you guys add the ability to change the headphone volume from the app/pc application? That would be great -- Joeyi247953:!, 2024-12-23 ### *---- "Fails to Discover Wirelessly" Instant failure attempting to pair the iOS app with the MacOS application. Devices are connected to the same WiFi network and are the most recent versions of FC2. Please fix! It would be great to share with the homies for adjusting IEM mixes. Loving the interface though! -- Starman2164, 2024-11-14 ### *---- "Worthless" It literally does nothing on the setup they prescribed. The interface device itself works nigh flawlessly with GarageBand and Logic Pro, but not ANY of the software they seemingly designed for the 2i2 does a goddamn thing, at least not on iOS. It doesn’t even talk to it. I might be missing something, but I don’t want to spend the time figuring it out. I typically find that music software designed to accompany a physical device for iOS to be worthless, while the physical device actually works pretty much as expected. It might work better on laptop and desktop, but that’s not why I bought this. -- Matt Sahlgren, 2024-10-14 ### ***-- "Todo bien…." Pero para os que tenemos la segunda generación… cierto que hay que actualizarse pero que paso con el control para la segunda generación, no son compatible el Focusrite control 2 con la segunda generacion solo con la generación 4… 😭 -- DJ Flaco22, 2024-10-10 [View all Focusrite Control 2 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Focusrite Control 2 Available In -
