I need speakers for my scarlett 2I2?

I just bought Scarlett 2i2 for my Macbook pro. Using Logic Pro and Pro Tools. Any suggestions on good speakers to hook up to the scarlett 2I2 i am on budget looking to spend less then 100. Any suggestions would help.

Thanks Doc.... that does clear a few things up. I can't find wi-fi speakers to check prices though. My search returns seem to be mostly links to pages where people are asking where to find them (lol!), those crazy-price Phillipe Somebodyorother designer speakers, or some called Oyster from Avega that seem to be vaporware
I did find wireless speakers on Amazon, but they're not what I think of as wi-fi (using the Macbook's already-installed Airport) since you have to plug a transmitter into the computer (which makes it Yet Another Device To Be Unplugged when moving a laptop around).
It's beginning to sound like the Express + speakers is the best route, since that at least gets the wires off the desktop and not directly attached to the Macbook. I'm not sure what the plug on the iMac speakers is called. It would be nice if they worked since they don't require being plugged into the wall.

Need speakers for my Macbook: questions I've not seen an answer for

Earlier this year I reluctantly upgraded from my old Luxo Jr. style iMac with the nice 17" screen and the really good sound to a 2008 black Macbook. While I needed the OS update, the smaller screen and miserable sound are a giant step backwards, and need a cure. I think I've found a monitor I can love (Samsung 2223SW) but the speaker issue has me boggled. I've now read so much I'm thoroughly confused.
Does my old iMac sound so good solely due to the speakers, or is there something in the iMac itself contributing to the sound?
Am I stuck with miserable tinny sound due to some limitation of the Macbook, or is there hope?
The goal: good sound and no wires on my desktop (I'm fed up with looking like an electronics store run amok, and so far have banished the modem and external drive to the basement courtesy of an Airport Extreme)
In an ideal world I'd find a pair of wireless speakers (either wifi or bluetooth) that sound as good as my old iMac speakers. I've searched with no luck... are there any?
The next best thing seems to be using an Airport Express (I realize I cannot use my existing Extreme for speakers) but I'm not sure I'm clear on how that would work. I'd have to have it plugged in the room I want to use the speakers in, and then plug the speakers into the Express? I'm still stuck with wires but at least they're not snaking across the desktop that way.
The Macbook would send the sound to the Express and in turn through the speakers? Is that how it works?
And I have to use Airfoil if I want to have all my sound - not just iTunes - channeled that way?
Does it matter if my iTunes library is on an external hard drive and not on the internal Macbook drive?
Anything else I need to know? I don't have a traditional stereo for the Express to stream to (which I see mentioned a lot), is that a problem? I just need speakers. I also don't need to stream to multiple rooms or Macs... just cure the sound on the Macbook.
Could the old iMac speakers be plugged into the Express?
Or do I need to get new ones such as the Creative Inspire T12 that are in the Apple Store? I've noticed those and some others say they come with a power supply... does that mean they need electricity (bleah... more wires!) ? I guess that would beat batteries, but I'm used to speakers that plug into whatever they're hooked to and nothing else , so the reference to "power supply" may be confusing me. Do you really have to plug in speakers to an outlet?
A lot of questions, I know! I've read the "Good To Know About Speakers" page in the Apple Store, searched threads here and Googled, and only seemed to wind up with more questions. :P

I need speakers for my 3rd generation iPod.

I got Logitech's AudioStation Express as a Christmas gift but it doesn't have adock adapter for my 15GB 3rd generation iPod. The only way it works is my connecting the included cable to the headphone jack to the line in connection. As such, you have to lie it flat and all of the remote's functions don't work.
I want to know if there are speakers that support my iPod and it will dock. I want something under $100 to use at work...Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On a windows go to the control panel and find where it says to "add or remove programs" Go in there and find iPod and iTunes and remove them. Then restart your computer and put in the nano disk and install the software for the nano
No need for any of this.

Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver Scarlett 2i2 in Premiere CC2014 not working

Hi everybody.
I just recently upgraded to CC and cannot use my Audio Interface with it.
Info:
i7
Windows 7 Ultimate
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, drivers up to date
Premiere Pro CC 2014 up do date
GeForce GTX Titan
In CS6 i have set the audio hardware to Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver.
ASIO Settings:
Buffer length 10
In Latency is 19,6
Out latency is 28,9
Sample Rate 48000
...and it works like a charm.
In CC 2014 however, i can only use Premiere WDM sound.
If i choose the Focusrite, my sequence won't play. I can still scrub but with no audio.
Also recording does not work.
I often have to punch in layout-voiceovers for timing and need this to work, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
thank you all!

Premiere Pro is not the best with USB audio. Sometime it works, often it doesn't. My recommendation is to skip any type of USB audio and only use real audio connections.
Thank you for your input.
I am using this setup in CS6 and it works great but could not get it to work with CC. So i can't just settle with "skip any type of USB audio".
Anyway, i figured it out:
I chose Premiere Pro WDM sound instead of the scarlett and in the ASIO settings chose the Scralett as input. works just how it's supposed to now.

Scarlett 2i2 - USB 2.0

Hello,
I'm with the following problem...
When I turn on the audio device (scarlett 2i2) via USB to the iMac's the sound is often to click. I used garageband to play the audio in the iMac speakers.
Tested the same device on a macbook pro and it worked perfectly. I also used the garageband.
Another problem, plugging my sound mixer on headphone input of my iMac does not recognize it as input.
By doing the same thing in macbook pro recognizes it as input.
I have an iMac 2013, OS X 10.9.1. The macbook pro 2012 has the same version of the iMac (OS X 10.9.1).
What should I do?

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Cant Hear Playback With Logic

Hi all,
I'm very sorry to trouble you's however I was wondering if anyone can give me a hand.
Im fairly new to Logic. However I just set up my focusrite scarlett 2i2.
It seems to be recording fine however I cannot seem to hear playback of any of my recordings.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

MM,
First take a look at this part of the manual, mainly the chapter... "Configuring Your Audio Hardware"
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/9.1.6/en/logicpro/usermanual/#chapter=2%26sec tion=0
Reading the manual is an important part of learning Logic.
Next:
What are you listening with, where are you expecting to hear the audio playback?
Do you have headphones or speakers plugged into the Focusrite?

I keep getting a buzz when plugging in to garageband through my focus rite scarlett 2i2?

I purchased a mac book pro for recording purposes with garageband. to my surprise my old mbox wasnt compatible. So today I went out to guitar center and bought a new audio interface. a focusrite scarlett 2i2. finally got it set up. drivers downloaded and audio is coming through. but i keep getting a nasty buzz that fades in and out. anyone know how to get rid of that. i've checked the cables and all exterior plugs. but i cant get rid of it. HELP!

I'd guess a bad ground connection somewhere, either in the box or one of the cables.

What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Best is going to be a matter of opinion. What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for? All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.

Need advice for wireless iTunes access (have router already)

I'm having a hard time sifting through all the info to find the best solution. I have a MacBook Pro that I'll soon be upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, as well as an iPhone, with a second iPhone soon to enter the family. We also plan to get an iPad. We actually have an older iMac that we won't be upgrading, so we're going to move our iTunes library from the iMac over to the MacBook (basically turning the MacBook into our primary computer). We want to be able to play iTunes without having to keep the MacBook plugged into wired speakers. That seems a bit pointless.
We have a wireless router already (a D-Link), so I don't need AirPort Express to act as a router. (We have a 1 bedroom condo, really no reason to extend the network or anything like that.) We have a printer that works wirelessly with the MacBook already. All I'm really trying to figure out is the best way to set it up so that we can have iTunes on the MacBook, playing over speakers (either the ones we currently have our iMac plugged into, or our stereo speakers that we have our TV setup with). Ideally if we could do the same from the iPhone and (future) iPad, that would be great, too.
Does it make any sense for us to get an AirPort Express to do this, or would it just be more straightforward to get wireless speakers that can work over Bluetooth (like the Creative D200 ones in the Apple store)? I feel like the AirPort has the potential to be overkill for our usage, especially since I can't seem to figure out if you can use AirTunes with an iPad, and we don't need it for the wireless printing functions.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Leo! Yeah, I was confused about the 2500 series too because they push the Flex 7500 so much as the "real" solution.
Now that I'm looking in the right spot, it looks like NCS Prime Infrastructure is for the serious folks and we could probably get away without it, right? So that would leave the access points, the controller, and the basic network stuff.

Anyone using the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with Logic?

I am looking to replace my Tascam US-122 with something of similar size/inputs. I've watched some videos and seen some reviews about the Scarlett 2i2, but I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience using it with Logic. I am wanting to make sure it will run with the 64-bit version of Logic that I am running on Lion. Currently to get my US-122 to work, i have to boot the computer in 32-bit mode or else my computer does not read the interface. I have also heard good things about the inputs in the Scarlett 2i2, and about Focusrite preamps in general, but I have never used them before. At this point, anything will be an upgrade from the Tascam unit that is starting to go faulty on me. This Focusrite unit seems like it could be exactly what I am looking for, I am just looking to see what others have to say about using it with their setups.

Hi Miss Clandestine,
The Scarlett 2i2 will work just fine with the 64-bit version of Logic in Mac OS X Lion.
Here's a little example of what the preamps sound like: http://youtu.be/5sSBwkzdAU4 (yes, it was actually recorded through a 2i2 )
Let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help out!
Best Regards,

Speakers for my iMac G5

I am currently using the iMac G4 and am handing it down to my husband; I purchased a new iMac G5. when I bought the G4, for some reason, I purchased speakers-- they look like round spheres. They work great-- don't know why I bought them, though. Should I keep these speakers for the G5 or purchase new speakers? Speakers weren't offered as an accessory on the website.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Nancy, you may be using Apple Pro Speakers on your G4. I have them on my G4 and they are not compatible with the new systems. At one time Griffen sold a gadget that let you use the speakers on new Macs, but the item is no longer for sale.
I need to reiterate that the iMac G5 has pretty decent speakers for their size and location. Note that I am not an audiophile, the built in speakers would not be good enough for some people. I am in the market for external speakers and I hope to attend MacWorld Expo where you can pick up some good deals.
For Christmas I bought my son an iHome 2Go iPod boombox/charger. I don't know how it sounds yet, but it has a line-in so it could be hooked up to a computer. It looks real handy when you need portable A/C and battery powered iPod amp and speaker. If it sounds good I may pick one up for myself http://www.ihomeaudio.com

What is the best dock with speakers for a new ipod classic

I need to purchase a new ipod classic and portiable dock with speakers for my organization. What would be best for a classroom setting?

I would say Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign are the industry standard in design. But not the most affordable if your are on a tight budget. Photoshop elements has most of major features as the full version of Photoshop but is much cheaper. You can also download a trail version of the Adobe products from Adobe's website for your son to try out.
Also, look in the app store on the Featured page, there is a link on the right, "Apps for Designers". There you can find several image editing and vector programs he could try. There might be a few layout programs as well.
I would say if he is serious about getting into graphic design, Adobe products are the way to go.

Speakers for h8-1520t

I bought a package deal from Costco-hp envy h8-1520t Beats Audio with hp2711x monitor- thinking speakers would come with it, but they didn't. The plug on speakers from my old Sony VAIO is a little too big to fit in the speaker plug-in spot on the new HP. Do I need special speakers for the HP?

The connectors are 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo mini-jacks that connect from the back of the computer to speakers and microphones. Either purchase standard speakers, or get a converter. Is the Sony plug smaller? If so, it's likely a 2.5mm mini plug. Cost $0.33 plus shipping

Speakers for MacBook

I recently bought a new Black Macbook and am very happy wih everything except the sound. Its just too soft. Now, I wasn't sure where to post this (so my apologies if this is not the right place), but what speakers would you recommend for me? I play guitar (quite loudly I should add), and like to play along with the song sometimes. So I need speakers that are reasonably loud and have good sound. I'm willing to pay anything up to about $400... Anything from the apple store would be great (if you could provide a link to the speakers your refering to, it would help quite alot). Thanks...

Hi there
I recently got myself an apple ipod speaker, and it is LOUD, I live in a 2 storey house with solid walls, I can hear the speaker in the living room from upstairs and its not even at full volume. Sound quality wise, its acceptable, the old fashion hi-fi system would be better since you can place the speakers at either side of the room. But then there's gona b wires laying around the place, whereas this Apply hi-fi just needs a power cable and an ipod and you are set (it has a sound input in the back for you to plug in other devices like a CD player and of course your macbook).
And here's a link to the speaker: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=EA7 50468&nplm=M9867LL/A
