Scarlett MixControl
Scarlett MixControl is the hardware control and mixer software for Focusrite's Scarlett audio interfaces. It lets users adjust input and output levels, configure microphone preamps, set up headphone mixes, manage direct monitoring, and control onboard DSP effects for Scarlett 2i2, 2i4, 4i4, 18i20 and other models. The app runs on Mac and Windows alongside the audio interface's driver software, and professional musicians, podcasters, streamers and home recordists rely on it for real-time audio routing and level management during recording and live performance.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find published information confirming whether Focusrite has released a native Apple Silicon build of Scarlett MixControl. The app currently runs under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only build will stop working on that release. Contact Focusrite directly through their support site or your interface's documentation to ask whether a native build is planned before the September 2028 deadline. In the meantime, check Focusrite's official software downloads page periodically for updates — a native version may be released without widespread announcement. If Focusrite does not ship a native build, you may eventually need to move to a different Scarlett model with native driver support or use a third-party mixing utility alongside the interface's limited control panel.
