fascinating!! I am very much orientated to buy the Volt 2...thank you cheers

Hello! I am thinking of getting either this Steinberg IXO22 or the Arturia Minifuse 2. Can anyone help me decide with some input? Thanks!

Cool test... DAC+m50x 1: 0.5% (hard to notice) - 1% 2: around 1% 3: around 1%

Hi. Julian SSL 2 MKⅡ or Audient iD4 MKⅡ Which would you choose? Which one has low noise and a cleaner sound?

OMG .... dude, this was fun. Btw there is a new SSL-18 rack mountable audio interface. I can only hope you got one a week ago and soon you will review it 🙂

U fucked me up talkin bout the sharp cuts in higher freqs.....i dont use them that often as i usually cant identify a specific problem freq but did not know they do nearly nothing. + the info bout wide bands compared to narrow rlly helpful

Calling 3 and 4 line ins a “bonus” is stupid. I was specifically looking for an interface with 4 inputs for my arranger keyboard, which has 4 outputs. If I didn’t need those, I would just buy a 2i2.

The SSL 2/2+ uses an all-in-one ADC / DAC converter (AKM AK4621EF), and the MKII is probably just using a 32 bit counterpart.

Does buffer size affect the latency of the direct monitoring?

Bin heute zum ersten Mal auf deinem Kanal. Dein Englisch ist so gut, dass man bereits im ersten Satz hört, dass du Deutscher bist 😅

Hey julian. Ive been watching all your videos as ive been interested in audio more and more. I do livestreams and ive been using direct monitoring for that and in part i felt that hurts my performance as sometimes this gets me distracted or self concious about certain things and interrupts my speech or my natural way of communicating. However, i feel its hard for me to get used to not use this feature, as when i wear my studio headphones, i can barely hear myself and im doubtful about my tone and loudness. I have other streamers friends which never used direct monitoring and theyre happy not knowing what they sound like. Im currently using a Lewitt connect 6 trying to get used to use it only to verify the audio and then switch it off. I think for live application hurts your performance but for recording seems ideal. So far ive tested direct monitoring on GoXLR Mini, Lewitt connect 6 and Volt 176. My favorite monitoring was the VOLT6 one, seemed the clearer and least latency one to me but the one with the lowest volume output. Ive considered open back studio headphones, which provides better soundstage but there might bring audio leak causing feedback on the mic. So im sticking to closed back ones.

Is there any issue with ID4 to hear the sound only on left side or right side of headphone when we have windows pc?

Hey, does it work with android phone?

HD 2 ? PLzzz

Ha! Funny and informative. Thanks.

Audient ID48 is out Julian Krause. Waiting for your review of the interface. It would be nice if you each out to Audient for one please

I can't make a decision actually between the SSL2+MKII and the Audient ID24. In general terms i prefer the SSL, but i'm afraid i'm gonna miss the word clock output and specially the ADAT option form the Audient. Rightnow i don't really need those options, but probably in the near future i will, so anybody could tell me their oppinion? thanks a lot!!

Please advise! I recently purchased Volt2, it suits me in almost every way, but there is one significant problem: the output to my monitors is very quiet. For comparison, I connect my Audient iD4 and also Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3gen to the same monitors with the same cables, the volume on the monitors is set to 12 o'clock, with the same settings Vol2 sounds one and a half / two times quieter. Does anyone have the same problem and is it possible to deal with it?

in ableton i got with your setiings 7.6 ms roundtrip , you have 4.2 ms! you need to test it with logic ableton becaus its not true?

I would like to use my H1 to record sound while i ride my motorcycle what settings do you recommend, the device would be located inside a backpack.

I'm Japanese. I'm always cheering for you from Japan. I'm having trouble setting Japanese subtitles for this video. Can you set it so that I can see Japanese subtitles?

thank you very much

Do the minifuse4 yeah??!! Thank you for your works.

Julian mein lieber, ich habe eine wichtige Frage. Ich bin nicht gerade der hellste was das angeht. Professionell habe ich bereits mit dem Zoom F4 in meiner Firma gearbeitet, als ich diesen dann aber Privat mir zugelegt hatte; das böse Erwachen! Ich benutze privat ein Sennheiser MKE 600 und den ZOOM F4. Egal mit welcher Einstellung, Das Mikrofon ist zu leise trotz 48v Phantomspeisung. Erst bei einer Verstärkung von 75+db scheinen die Level ausgeglichen zu sein, aber das hört sich nicht gut an und damit mit Angeln kann man alle mal nicht. Weißt du evtl. woran das liegt bevor ich verzweifle? Liebe Grüße!

I use it for guitar. RTL is 5.7ms 96kHz 32 samples as for today. Very nice! Clean input and output.

Hey Julian! Thank you for your in depth analysis! Question. Do you think a better measurement mic would help the unit get a more accurate IR responses, thus improve its overall performance?

Hi Julian have you tried 250ohm headphones on this ? i have this interface and been wanting a 250ohm beyerdynamic DT770

Hello. Maybe you could clarify one point. I also asked the manufacturer, took the ticket)) but they clearly pretended that they did not understand the essence of the question. And the bottom line is that one of the first reviews of this card in/on one of the reputable websites/publications mentions different internal gain settings (in other words, recording level). for dynamic and condenser microphones. And that the internal sensitivity levels are self-adjusted depending on the microphone, or rather when the phantom power is turned on. That is, if it is not turned on, then a dynamic microphone is connected, and then the level is conditionally higher, because the mic is quiet. And if the phantom power is on, then a condenser microphone is connected, and then the level is relatively lower, because the mic gives a louder signal. That's all good. But what about a condenser microphone that has its own Power Supply? It can be both Rode and others. For example, I have M-Audio Sputnik. After all, in this case, you cannot turn on the phantom power on the card. And it turns out that as long as the phantom power is not activated, the card will "think" that a dynamic microphone is connected and will adjust a higher sensitivity level. But a condenser microphone is connected, with power, it gives a louder signal than a dynamic one (about 2 times!), and it turns out that there will just be a powerful overload??? And the problem is not solved in any way? Here is the answer that was given in ZOOM support and from which I did not understand anything at all.: "The phantom power supply is switched into the Mic Pre Amp. This does not affect the gain of the mic preamp. Whether the microphone has a high or low output level is irrelevant. It is only important that you check whether your ‘M-Audio’ microphone, in conjunction with the preamp, outputs a microphone or line level from the preamp." Who is connected to what? Where and how to check? Who was standing on whom?)) Or they really didn't understand the problem. Or, alternatively, the automatic internal adjustment of levels depending on the activation of the phantom power was simply invented in an authoritative SOS and confused people)) It would be very interesting to know your opinion. Thanks!

Just bought one today - it is simple and right on the point! Does EXACTLY what it says, nothing less, nothing more - purrfect!

I needed this video so bad damn i buy the walmart ones for the superior volume😎🙏🙏🙏

Hello! Would topping e2x2 gain be enough for Shure SM7B? 0_o

Hello =) Your videos are very helpful, thanks, watched them when I was choosing an audio interface. Ended up using Topping E2x2 and Topping DX7 Pro+ DAC =) The video is cool, it's both funny and quite interesting. Way to go!

Like we say in french, MERCI BEAUCOUP !

My husband says, "For this test, play Time by Pink Floyd and set the volume to 50% of your system."

Bought this and would not recommend, the amount of noise is ridiculous if you have to turn the gain up at all

How to catch a rabbit? Go behind a tree and make carrot sound

The EQ impact looks suspiciously similar to the SSL2's "4K" button ... Hmm, has SSL's secret this whole time been audiophile carrots in their consoles??

Hello, I have a mic shure MV7 plus which sound card should I get for live streaming? What do you recommend? With €280, I will see a difference in the sound. Thank you very much.

How do I get it into my AVR!from REW?

As always a great video dog. I only wish at the end you would’ve thrown in your personal favorite! :)

Excellent logic once again Julian!

For what you state in the conclusion it seems it would not be good or the best to have a amp impedance of 8 ohms to drive a speaker impedance of 8 ohms. So if there is a option. To set the amp impedance to 4,6 and 8 ohms what impedance should one chose to use on the amp to drive a 8 ohm speaker ?

This made my day👌😂 Someone posted this on a fb hifi group i follow, the "golden ear mafia" went completely nuts and were extremely insulted😂

They need to bring back the 3.5mm jack on smartphones.

Hi bro. Will this product work on Audacity?

Everything is cool! But... Is it have a Loopback option?

Does anyone no if the new Zen Quadro Synergy Core is basically the same thing?

I have a berdynamic dt 990 pro 250 ohms, which audio interface is recommended

Can you please tell me what's the best sample rate for recording vocals with this interface please

Could you please suggest me an audio interface under 200$. I wanna use it only for only mixing purpose, no recording purpose. I will be using beyerdynamics DT 770 pro 250 ohm headphones for the same. Please help brother.
