THIS is What You Missed at ABBEY ROAD with Jaycen Joshua
I hear a much smoother and 3-D sound with Hardware I'm actually regretting buying a lot of the plugins I own especially WAVES.
I personally preferred the Beringer but just. Both sound very similar.
How are you finding the kh750 sub?
You can’t correct for Nulls. It is not physically possible. Boosting a null will just result in additional Nulling. None of these systems should boost nulls. Trinnov sound like dogs**t. The FIR filters messes with the transients, and the phase coherence is much too focused on listening position, and not enough attention to the dispersion characteristics of the speaker.
I want all the compressors, all the preamps, and all the eqs. I want it all.
Thank you
i have akg k702 ..please tell me which one have more headphones gain for akg k702
I may have to buy a Volt! I’m currently using a Presonus 24C but having major problems with it. (Mixer knob doesn’t work right, not getting a clean signal when using either of my mics-distorting without clipping😖) I was looking at getting a Tascam 208i; I wonder which would be better. Anyone have thoughts on that? Def need the 5-pin midi inputs for my man’s electronic drums
Great song and performance!! Thank you for doing this review. Gonna have to pick up one of these interfaces
Thanks.
Currently deciding between the bss and the neve so this vid was really useful! I just received an ssl six on which the hi z input sounds much smoother on my stratocaster (using an amp sim itb). I was surprised to hear the difference when I tried the bss which seems to provide more high frequency content and an overall more glassy sound (which I like on my guitars). I asked SSL about this and send them some audio samples. They responded that they try to keep the THD as low as possible on their console channels which might account for a little bit less of high frequencies. Goes to show that these di boxes do have an impact on your tone. I will soon receive the neve for testing and i'm curious how it will impact the sound.
Is there something that beats the clarett in general? In terms of quality and price point? I've a need for this to use with my sE VR2 mic for recording audio and to use with my amp when performing.
Sm58 all day long 👍🏼
Hi I am buying first audio interface. Should i buy 3rd gen or 4rth (which is most costly)? Purpose: live streaming concerts and lections to zoom / UA-cam, band (drums, keyboard, gitars), church. Source: mixing console, stereo pair (jack jack).
For a first interface the gen 3 2i2 would do all that you need and should be cheaper compared to gen 4.
I've used a MOTU Audio Express heavily since 2012 without any problems until I recently fried it. (Don't ask). I'm sticking with MOTU and buying a M4. Quality products, great company name.
The big things for me are ergonomics, the experience, and inspiration. Being able to turn a knob vs use my mouse is significant in all 3 places. It's significantly less wear and tear on my arm (I've had 3 surgeries), it feels tangible which tends to allow me to really feel the music more intimately, and of course because of that I'm inspired to work and have fun doing so!
can you use all uad plugins on the volt serious?
Or does it?
Volt for meee
Ozone does almost all Master Plan does, plus some 100 other things if you need it to. There's no way you can compare these. That's why Ozone costs a lot more, because it gives you a lot more, too. You really have to tweak it (like removing the excessive low end) like you did with Master Plan. That being said, I like Master Plan for simple moves on the mix bus before the song hits the mastering stage.
I guess Neve will always keeps to itself its special spreadable mid\ high end. The more i get involved with those comparisons the more it gets clearer.
does it beat audient?
Hello guys ım planning to replace my old behringer mic and um2.I came across 2 different recording packages. One is SSL2 which includes SSL2 + SMC-80 mic + SHP-20 headphones.The other one is Volt 276 recording package.(ı don't know the names of headphones and mic).Price is the same.I can't decide please help.
Jason prob get some of the best record/tracked songs in the world so they prob really don't need a analog touch, he does have a otb mix bus 4 sure
Hm, that's weird that you missed ADAM and HEDD then.
Analog alerts the sound while digital doesn't. Is mixing and mastering a part of music creation or just an engineering tool to balance the frequencies and dynamics? That's the question. I think musicians prefer the analog grars because they add a touch to the sound, and this is wrong, in my opinion.
Hey, great review! I wanna ask for your recommendation, I'm looking for the best sound you can get for headphones and speakers that can also power 250 ohms headphones (dt 1990) I don't mind about preamps and DI, I only care about sound quality, what would you say is a good pick for that (out of any interface)? Also, is a dedicated amp/dac like the topping is actually worth it over any of these? or is the difference negligible? I was looking at the new presonus quantum es2 aswell, maybe you could review this too to compare?
The Topping E2X2 has THE best headphone amplifier on any interface under £1800!
He said Genelec sounds clinical… but the Neumann monitors or way more clinical in my opinion. I chose the Genelec 8361a over the Neumann’s. Genelec are definitely end game monitors.
What does this mean for better vocals
Loved the video! Great stuff: I liked the focusing influence of the API myself -- while the NEVE had an awesome 'scooped' sound with plenty of bite to it, I would likely prefer adding character saturation like that before reaching the summing stage, but both sounded great! The in-the-box mixing environment desperately needs lots of non-linear summing plugs like these!
When you maybe do the Hedd review, can you give your opioin in comparioson to the MUM-8's?... I don't you got to heAR THE 6'S, but if you did
Can you tell me about the type of computer I need to buy that will get the job done. As far as Gigabites and all that. I plan on buy a used Mac book pro on ebay. What should I get? I've see 8 GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. What is good, and what is bad?
I suggest getting an M1/2 max with as much RAM as you can afford! The specs on the new macs are so good, any model is sufficient. As always though, get the best you can afford and future proof yourself so it lasts a long time.
in the final mix sounds amazing, it glues it so well
This whole discussion is a way to avoid the obvious truth: skill is what makes consistent world class mixes. Its as childish as somebody saying you need adidas football boots to be world class... If you like em, fine, but it doesnt make you better or worse.
So what is best for me on a Computer PC. i have a sound card that can play 16-bits or 24-bits and betwen 44.1 Khz - 48 Khz - 88.2 Khz - 96 Khz - 176.4 Khz - 192 Khz ... Witch one is best do you think? Thx for a good video. / Sweden!
E2x2 OTG, the successor to E2x2, is now available :)
I don’t like the way mixes sound that were done on the barefoots
I don’t understand how people can mix on them. I understand why DJs producing would love them but they’re so wrong for mixing and mastering.
X4 sounds brighter and better, MT48 sounds kinda dull and lifeless
That open hihat from "Fool in the rain" love it!
gorgeous song!
I see you no longer have the API 550A's but kept your API 550b's. Can you tell me why?
I’ve kept them both for future recording set ups. Currently prefer the control of the B’s four bands and narrower Q points.
@@EdThorne Ed thank you for your quick reply. I am trying to make a purchase of pair of these and want to make sure I make the best decision. I appreciate your time.
Windows drivers are such brainrot shit that this interface is borderline unusable. DO NOT BUY IF ON WINDOWS, THEY DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT YOU
Oit of curiosity And for the sake of those who are using outboard preamps, do you know if the DI input is able to bypass the pres? I've been interested in something from topping That lets you run some outboard gear through their high end converters....
You can't bypass the pres. Only the Apollo rack-mounted interfaces allow you to do that, as far as I know.
Ok. I had heard somewhere that there were a couple where the line in did bypass the pres.... What I'm using right now has a couple of track inputs That don't even have pres on them. It does make a difference... But it is subtle. Well I've seen that it makes a difference as far as noise measurements... Maybe it doesn't really make any practical difference in reality
Hello Ed!! Your reviews are top-notch and give me a hard to deciding on which interface to go with since you are so detailed about your reviews. I am currently a bedroom music producer making beats and recording my vocals but im looking to delve deeper into mixing. Which audio interface would suggest I get that is budget-friendly between the Volt 276 and Audient 14?? Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks, Henry. If you mix on headphones check out the Topping E2X2! The DAC/HP amp is far superior to these, however I prefer the preamps on the Audient/Volt. It’s a tough one. Maybe buy all three and see which your prefer and send the others back…
@EdThorne Thank you, Ed!!! I will go with your advice. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for your response.
Top notch review. Thank you for saving me hours of research 👍
You won’t regret buying these! I use them everyday!
so glad to have Master Plan instead of the Ozone system which they keep "improving" at ridiculous cost and laughable "loyalty" pricing
Yea I don't know how this guy came to this conclusion, I had an x6 heard the mt48 and blew my mind, there's no comparison here, if anything the mt48, rme or burl would be an ideal comparison, this guy is probably biased because he made the mistake of investing in an apollo when the mt was the obvious choice
No bias here as I didn’t pay for either device. My reviews are based on what I hear. There’s Pros and cons to both sonically as outlined in the video (without bias).
I have an X6 and I'm testing the MT48 as well. If I keep it, I would still record through the Apollo because of the workflow with console. So the only reason I would keep the Neumann is for the D/A which does sound really good. To my ears the Neumann technically sounds more clear, open, and has great depth and stereo separation which is great during mixing but lacks "soul" or that organic quality I hear from the Apollo which is great when I'm producing and songwriting. The Apollo also has an Oomph to it that I like. I don't know if the MT48 level of clarity will help mixes translate to Spotify any better either.
UAD is indeed great, I have a Twin into a satellite quad into an x8p, but it was a nightmare to configure it all, I would love to see a tutorial on the setup and linking it to DAW for future reference, although I’ve got it all set up now, I am sure others will also struggle, particularly with adding and routing outboard
I can hear the difference. The lows are more musical in UAD. The high mids sre clear.
The Volt sounds better in the video for me, but I heard it through an M4, haha, MOTU Team!🤘
Audient ,just ordered one.
