[@harryfromaustralia657]

Finally someone who knows how to actually give infomation!

[@JohnR436]

This video is perfect! Thank you so much. I’ve got my first tour coming up and I’ll be gone for an entire month! I have expertise in mixing/recording but touring is a whole different ballpark, checking out your gear guide & other videos next.

Great video

[@tomfullery9710]

I watched a few videos of other people trying to explain the difference and they left me feeling no less confused. But your explanation is so simple and clear, and now I know exactly what I need to buy. THANK YOU!

[@fromstudiotostage]

Thank you! And thanks for watching

[@undahandeddrumma]

I love it. No fluff. Right to it. Question I’ve been debating for some time

[@fromstudiotostage]

thanks for watching Benjamin, glad it helped!

[@mattschinske6358]

Love it! Great, simple questions to ask to get to what you need. Similar in idea to if you need Finale, Logic, or Ableton. Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience

[@fromstudiotostage]

Happy to help!

[@toknode331]

what about USB mixers that also work as interfaces?! wudnt dat be the best option to go for? like the tascam models for instance.. I have a bunch of synths etc and tryin to figure out the best option for live recording myself while producing. ( i do hybrid: synths/drum machines and DAW all live recording) thanks!

[@LorenzoGollia]

Always so insightful!

[@paulonuneesx]

Great, thank you!

[@wojtekmichalski]

Great advice. Thank you.

[@fromstudiotostage]

You are so welcome!

[@CorbanGonzalez]

Thank you

[@hqiu1976]

Thank you so much

[@EmoryCapps]

Great video, right to the point. What if I am trying to perform live with Ableton? I went through your live Ableton setup course, super helpful. Is my best bet to just use an interface to pull everything into Live and mix there?

[@sushan1051]

I am starting a two-person podcast using the Moano pd200x microphone, which has both USB and XLR options. I wanna have high-quality audio. Which one would you suggest, a mixer or an interface?

[@NickJardine]

I would like to capture videos directly to my iPhone of me playing guitar with a backing track playing over top. Don’t really want to fuss around with recording audio and video separately, just quick, KZbin shorts. I’m assuming a mixer would be best for? I was thinking of my guitar into one input, an iPhone, playing a backing track in another, output to my iPhone, and just shoot.

[@fromstudiotostage]

i would get an interface

[@jonathanalfred9847]

I want to record instruments and vocals at a home studio. Including Recording acoustic and electronic drumsets. And send it to my logic or protools sessions. I am a low tec person who wants something with really good funtionality and sound quality but also easy to learn to use as possible. Suggestions and advice on what to buy appreciated. Thankyou

[@dylanporter8105]

What if you want to be able record a live band mix for rehearsal ans demos and have in ears at the same time? Im stuck as what to get as i know both will work for either but not sure what's the better of the two and what would be a good console/interface to get for a 5 piece band

[@SkywardAudio]

What about an MR18. I want to be able to do live music outside and record in my studio. I feel like that form factor would be very versitile

[@fromstudiotostage]

would be a great audio console
