Focusrite itrack solo signal halos

Unique Signal Halos

The gain halos which surround the gain knob for each input provides an easy way to know that the signal you’re recording is the right level. It will show green when the signal is at a good level (above -24dBFS). If it turns to red, you know that the signal is too loud and is therefore clipping – if this happens, simply reduce the gain until the halo returns to green.

This avoids the possibility of "latency" (a slight time delay) being introduced by your music app, which can be distracting while recording.
