Literally just saw a video of someone comparing EVO 4 with this. There's no way lots of people said the EVO 4 is better. I think Gen 3 to Gen 4 had a massive upgrade. This has better sound quality, more functions, and it looks better lol. Oh and they give you sooo many free plugins! Only thing I will say is I do miss increasing and decreasing my volume with my Mac keyboard.

If you’re talking about when you’re recording and play it back then you just need to record to a mono track or set up the input in your software to only be 1 or 2 not 1+2. If you’re talk about when you’re doing direct monitoring then you just need to press the direct monitor button again until it’s in mono mode. If you’ve linked the two channels together then unlink them by holding down the select button for a few seconds until they are unlinked. All of these things are in the video.

I record the audio directly to my computer and then I sync it in my video editing software. Do a few claps at the start and it makes it easier to line things up. If your camera has a line input or mic input then you could use an aux cable from either the headphones output on the 2i2 or a y cable from the outputs on the back and then connect it to your camera.

@AudioTechTV 27 күн бұрын
I'm not a mac user but I know on a Windows computer there is a way that you can turn down the input in the system audio settings. So it will look like the levels are good but there is an internal audio setting in the operating system that makes them low. I've had that happen to me a few times. Audacity's audio level control can actually affect that internal system setting. But that's on a Windows machine so Mac might be different. The fader level in Pro Tools wont help to get the waveforms bigger.

You can use pedals going direct into the Scarlett 2i2. Whether it’s instrument level or line level depends on the pedal. Some pedals will output at instrument level and some will output at line level. You don’t need to connect direct and rely on amp sims. I mostly record through pedals connected direct to the audio interface I like committing to sounds when recording.

You can connect speakers or headphones. Type of speakers depends on what you plan on doing. If you’re just listening to music, watching videos, gaming, and other desktop audio types of things the. It really doesn’t matter what you get. If you are mixing music then getting a decent pair of reference monitors would be ideal. There are so many out there at various price points so it’s hard to recommend without knowing a price point. But if you do some searches for studio monitors I’m sure you’ll find more info that can possibly guide you in the right direction.

The computer speakers connected to your computer won’t work with the Focusrite when using Asio. Asio is intended as a low latency driver and all input and output processing is done within the interface. This is the ideal use. If you are going to get an adapter for your speakers, you may want a 3.5mm to Y adapter with 1/4” for the left and right. This way you can connect the speakers to the rear outputs and still have your headphone output available.

You got the 2i2 studio bundle and that’s the mic you’re referring to? I have the same mic as it came with a solo bundle and it worked fine. The 4th gen 2i2 has even more clean gain so it should work really well with it. That microphone is side address with a front and back so make sure you’re speaking/singing/recording into the front of the mic. Use the auto gain feature of the 2i2 4th gen and it should set the levels correctly for you. Look at the waveform of the recorded audio and if it looks full then it’s recording properly so there might be an issue with your daws volume. It is possible that you turned down the level in the windows settings. It’s very easy to accidentally do that in audacity or just in the windows settings. So make sure the levels for your inputs and outputs are all set to 100 in windows sound properties. Be sure to check each input as they can be controlled separately in windows.

@RealShaggy haha you were probably recording through that mic which is why it sounded distant. Glad you got it sorted out.

I just bought the 2i2. Switched from USB to XLR hoping it would eliminate some of the static and clipping. But now I feel with this interface my vocals are quieter. It's like it doesn't pick up the amount I am projecting. I'm gonna try a few of these tips, but before I dig down a rabbit hole, anyone have any quick suggestions??

If you’re using a dynamic mic it could need a lot of gain. You might need to crank the gain. Also if it’s a dynamic mic, you want to be fairly close to it and make sure you speak or sing very strong. If you have a softer/quieter delivery, a dynamic mic may not be the best choice. If this is happening to a condenser, it shouldn’t need as much gain but you still want to make sure you have a nice strong delivery. Also if you’re on windows then go into your windows sound settings and make sure the level for your audio interface is set to 100 (all the way up). And in case you are using an xlr to 1/4” cable, switch that to a xlr male to xlr female cable. The 1/4” connector bypasses the mic preamp so your levels will be low.

Does we need audio interface for headphones dt770pro 32ohms or 80 ohms
@AudioTechTV
@AudioTechTV Жыл бұрын
The 32 ohm version will have no problems with pretty much any device. The 80 ohm version should be good with a computer but may need to be cranked up a bit.

If direct monitoring was the only great feature, it would be the worth the cost, bc it makes latency go away. You can playback from your daw and record midi or audio in real time without any latency.

Great video, thank you! I have a 2i2 3rd gen with issues that I'm almost certain are due to a lack of power from my Windows PC. The addition of a separate power source gives me a lot more confidence in the device's ability to keep the clock rate sync'd with my PC.

Check Facebook marketplace. You’ll likely get the best deals on a used one. Behringer have some entry level interfaces, M-Audio has some good ones that are more affordable too.

Quick question: on abelton live lite it doesn't allow me to choose Focusrite usb as my audio input/output - before i used Fl studio with an asio4all v2 driver - could that be creating complications with my interface?
@AudioTechTV
@AudioTechTV Жыл бұрын
Did you install the Asio driver for the Focusrite interface? It’s not the one that installs automatically. If you didn’t install it then that’s why you don’t see it as an option for an Asio device.

why does the 2i2 get a direct monitor button but the 4i4 does not??? i cant stand basic features being designed out of hardware in favor of software versions. theres also next to no information online about Focusrite Control 2 specifically, so if you ever feel like doing a dedicated video to FC2 specifically that would be so appreciated. I’m having such a hard time figuring out how to route a reamp/fx loop without creating feedback, and i feel like i should not have be seeking answers for something so basic (something that is half the reason i even upgraded to a 4i4). anyway love your videos, thanks for all the good work!

No idea what you mean by this comment. Use XLR for microphones. The XLR input goes to the mic preamp. The mic preamp brings mic levels up to line levels. Use TS or TRS for instrument or line level devices and make sure you use the proper instrument or line setting.
