Could you tell me the warmest audio interface?

this really helps me decide, I would go for the SSL because your method demonstrate they hold integrity after tons of re-recording. honestly I don't think it really matter on practical wise, but it tells me that they are aware of that aspect and have a solution. (well I think their knobs layout are very practical) I think every brand has their own focus beside the basic functions, your tests help me know the position and temper of each brands.

quality review, I like it

Shit yeah the Behringer was harsh

What is the best budget choise audio interface to podcasting and voice over

Does this guy purposefully exclude RME?

This Must be the best Audio Interface Review I’ve ever Seen. The Amount of useful information is so diverse. Unfortunately I found this video after I bought the Universal Audio Volt 176 vor vocals.

Best video..

May i ask, what's the best mic budget for recording sir.? Thanks for video..❤

You should definitely re-do this video with the same level of indepth-ness as your audio interface video. For instance, you have to try Furman's prestige series boxes that promise to reduce and filter noise down by insane levels, claimed at -40db at 10khz? Huge claims. They also claim to reduce guitar 60 cycle hum and provide snappier tone in that prestige series, so this video could have used a guitar test coupled with more expensive power conditioners. I only say this because the title right now is too general and you've only tested three specific lower tier boxes. Cheers

Excellent work. I hope you never felt underappreciated here. Extreme levels of usefulness, you've done the world a great service. Thank you guy :)

In logic you have "recording dealy" setup, where you can input your systems samples delay. With this set and direct monitoring, it should be like tracking with analogue gear. Nowdays, you can apparently check your latency with an IO effect, just hover over it and it will show the latency on that channel.

Without RME, this list is useless. They are at a high price point but there is nothing that compares in stability, they sound neutral. Own madiface, madiface fx, babyface, fireface uc,fireface ucx, octamic. For bringing in and out audio in the workstations hdspe and hsdpe fx. Madi stuff is also brilliant with the direct.out matrices. Also fan of motu interfaces, the density of i/o with the same high quality sound at a lower price point is great. But they are not as durable in the long run.

SSL 2 is the best bang for your buck. Thank me later 😅

I'm a FPS gamer and also home studio beginner. I want some good audio interface for realtime EQ'ing headset, see and quickly change settings and long term device for quality. will get DT 900 Pro X headphones and this headphone has 48 ohm. So i was curious until see this video. I guess this device can handle 48 ohm (for my research feedbacks, 48 ohm is quite low considered to others i guess...) Also i am going to buy electro guitar in future but reviews says Connect 6 doesnt have One feature i dont remember. That feature gives to instrument high power so everything is clear and not muffled... Also i like softwares, i want to think lewitt will update his apps and keep up to date Connect 6. Is connect 6 is good for me or the Audient iD24 is the go?

What is the best setup for a condenser microphone? I have a cm25 mkiii from a focusrite scarlet 2i2. It is quite sensitive, if I add sound so that the graph is clearly visible, then I can hear the noise of the room.

the SSL 2 mkii also bypasses the preamps when line is selected according to SSL website

The winners of the test aren't satisfactory for me. Other than the Behringer, which is okay and it's actually only $79, not $200, the other two options are oddball options and personally I haven't heard of those brands in my life. The Lewitt Connect 6 looks weird and isn't stackable, and why buy that over a $109 UMC404HD? The Audient ID24 is enormous and has the inputs on the back, making it unusable for my purposes. What about the Roland Rubix or RME? Seem like glaring omissions to me.

Based on your thoughtful review, I was surprised to hear that there was no way to bypass the MT 48 preamps when using external line inputs. I contacted Neumann about this and, according to them, your analysis isn't correct. I'm no electronics engineer so I'm in no position to evaluate that. However, the following comes from Neumann's MT 48 web site. It seems to suggest preamp-free "clean AD conversion" but it doesn't address your point definitively, either: "Can I use my outboard preamp with the MT 48? Yes, all four MT 48 inputs can be set to Line mode for a clean AD conversion. This is done on the input's Preamp module on the MT 48. (Line Inputs 1-2 feature 138.5 db-A dynamic range.) Additionally, if your preamp has an ADAT or S/PDIF output, that of course can be connected directly to the MT 48’s optical input."

Never had any luck with any presonus gear.

Not enough measurements into for example generational loss. Also, you didn't give the noise floor in dB but in some generic unit you came up with... Not good enough. Ears lie, proper measurements don't.

do you usually record at 96khz?

I thought the scarlett’s 3rd and 4th inputs on the back do bypass the preamp. Since the gain knobs have no effect on them?

Very concise breakdown on this topic. Thanks, Chris!!

10:10 I googled it and I think the newer motu m4 can do zero latency, but I’m not sure. This what l found: “Hardware monitoring offers zero-latency operation This means that there is no delay between what you play and/or sing and what you hear in your headphones. The M4's inputs can also be recorded simultaneously, allowing you to monitor with zero latency while tracking - a must for achieving a natural-sounding performance.”. Did I catch that right?

I heard the difference ! The Behringer SUCKED !

Is the lack of HI-Z important for music recording on this unit? This is the ONE limiting factor holding me from pulling the trigger on this one. I am a home music studio creator.

Please can you do a comparison video about Presonus Quantum ES 4 and Solid State Logic SSL2+ ??

Can you do a comparison video about Presonus Quantum ES 4 and Solid State Logic SSL2+ ??

It would have been awesome to have this video like 8 years ago :)

gosh this is really good advice here. thank you!!! Pleased to find this channel !

Maybe not software problems, but what about driver update problems then, say hello Avid…….

Hi, only for voice over, narration and dubbing, which is the best? I have an SSL2 and work fine!

AMAZING content!!!!

USB dac vs audio interface , what is the sound best in the same price.

I use the MOTU M2 and to be honest, the headphone volume sounds super good...but as said in the video, I have never been so satisfied with the mic preamps, though i didn't have any other interface to compare with. In the next update, i will consider the mic preamps...i would really love to hear sweet clean vocals or guitars coz thats 90% of what i use the interface for apart from play back.

my Antelope Orion died.. now im doing a deep dive before i buy another, or just go with a digital mixer w/ DAW controls.

Chris - I experimented with iPhone audio and determined that Apple simulate some sort of directional microphone, such that on-axis is when you speak directly into the screen. I found that speaking into the bottom of the phone actually is 90 degrees off axis.

Now i understand why i have so much noise in my audiobox 96 O.o

dude you look just like my old friend Venanzio. rip

Thanks so much for this - with today's M4 Macs, I don't think DSP is necessary, especially with a lot of RAM!

For anyone wondering, the Steinberg ur22c has a DSP. So it's not just a below average card because of the noisy yamaha preamps. It has a suit of effects and processors and even amp sims, you can use with the high-z input. Afaik, it even works standalone controlled via app.

Thats a lotta highs

most of the audio interfaces has steinberg-yamaha sound processing chips. correct me if im wrong.

I have a Roland Studio capture that I have had excellent recording with. What do you thank? I use it everyday sense 2002.

Ok so, if I get this correctly, As someone who is using a Behringer Umc 22 (I am a Solo VO, and recording Voice over is the only interest I have), and who is willing to part with some capital to get an upgrade The SSl2 will offer me the best bang for my buck?

Thats a good test. I have a Audio-Interrface from Thomann, the Swissonic Audio-1. I am very happy with it, but have one problem. I bought the Interface Audio-1 instead of the Audio-2 cause it had the XLR-input for channel 1 and 6.3-input for channel 2. And that is the problem now. If i want to record two synthesizers at the same time, i can not connect the first synth to the XLR cause its preamp. Have you recommendations what to do to get an high-voltage input recorded on that Mic-Amp, will this be changing the quality much, will it be better to change the interface and use a Mixer with Mic-Preamp included?

No Direct ADC inputs makes it not worth it at all, much better options out there.

I really don't know if I should pick the MOTU 4 or the Volt 476. Which one is better do you guys think'?
