BEST AUDIO INTERFACE FOR WORSHIP BANDS? | A review of the Peavey USB-P

[@jacobburgess5071]

I have a couple of these I use at my church and they have been wonderful. My media laptop was giving noise from the power supply and this device fixed that issue. It has a clean sound that you don’t lose any quality of your track. Found these about 5 years ago and been using them with NO!!!!! Issues.

[@Churchfront]

So awesome! Thanks for sharing! Good to know it holds up over the long run.

[@Churchfront]

Who else geeks out over audio interfaces?

[@cjleongson]

Churchfront with Jake Gosselin i want to geek out with this studio and live stuff

[@robsharp2941]

iConnectivity is my favorite. There is something to be said for minimalistic gear, but I have found I spend more money upgrading as my needs grow when I think too small. I have done MAudio, PreSonus, MOTU, Focus Right. And the iConnectivity is the best most reliable, flexible gear out there. Although the Loop Rig (or is Track Rig) from Loop Community looks great!

Me me me 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@ennis437]

Me!!!

[@bawii10]

Where do you plug in after plugging in the Right and Left?

[@mattreif6058]

I really appreciate this video. Been following you for a year. Finally auditioned... between your mentorship and SK template, I was able to really impress the team. Been playing with them for months now, and our worship has definitely become more tech savvy! Oh, and my sound guy laughed when I pulled out this Peavey USB audio interface, but then he was genuinely surprised with how well and clean the sounds I was sending him were. Thanks Jake! I'll come shake your hand next time in CO.

[@kentwyngaard8803]

Hi Jake. Can this interface be used with my iPad Pro if I use it with the Prime app?

[@DanBires]

Thanks for the info. That is a great cheap alternative. I am using a audient evo 4 for my set up.

[@mitchellneth]

Not to be the downer here, but I use an interface to get cleaner, higher quality audio than the built in headphone port. My church has gone through three of these and faced a constant low white noise in the absence of signal being sent on all of them. IMO, if you can afford it, go for the Radial USB Pro, or something like a Focusrite.

[@DAVIDHERNANORDONEZCHAVEZ-ig1ce]

Any other audio interface in your list to get multiple outputs just as the track rig by loop community does?

[@paynfulmakers8405]

How does this stand in todays market? Still one of the better ones for a MainStage, keyboard rig?

[@OleksiiSolonenko]

What about stereo? If we have only 2 outputs and use them for playback and metronome playback will be in mono. So it doesn’t fit our needs with playback I think. And sometimes it’s better to have guide and metronome in different channels so musicians can adjust their levels separately.

[@DanBires]

Or you can just use any usb interface and use balanced 1/4 inch cables coming out of the monitor outs. They are all balanced. Same thing.

[@davidordonez8964]

Will this work with an IPhone plugged in with a USB camera adapter only?

[@Adoradoresdecristo1981]

Do i need to connect it to a di box if using MainStage or is not necessary?

[@lamarshealey3332]

I like it just wish it had a volume dial on top. That would make it perfect.

[@DanielSullivan1980]

Will this work with an iPad running prime or playback or just with a MacBook?

[@ludwigeaston4099]

Does this audio interface with the Apple M1 Chip?

[@genesisaronmedina2727]

What cables are you using to connect the audio interface to the sub snake? What are those cables called?

[@slickcross]

I bought the Radial USB Pro Stereo but I'm having issues getting mainstage sounds out of it. Regular audio played from youtube ia coming out but not from mainstage.

[@matteaton5572]

We use an iPad with Prime and I already have a Looptimus mini plugged into the bottom of the tablet. How would I work that?

[@neob9017]

Definitely gonna be picking this up for our new Mainstage 3 rig

[@stefangoncharov8609]

I have a question: my laptop is not as powerful as a macbook. I want to order an audio interface, but I want to find one that will remove the load from the laptop processor. If you know not expensive audio interfaces that can be used for a live performance, can you advise or make a video about it?

[@daceved2]

dude, he just did it in this vid. check out his other videos, there are a couple of them showing up some other cheap USB interfaces like behringer (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqO2f5h_a5t0bsU) or focusrite 2i2 (www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-Tools/dp/B07QR73T66/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=focusrite&qid=1602343088&sr=8-2).

[@zendy4558]

Hi Jake, is this USB P compatible with M1 Mac with macOS Monterey and ventura?

[@calebbarrera8990]

That’s the interface we use at Indiana Bible College and its honestly the best one I’ve ever used

[@ard_magazin_royale5397]

Is there also an alternative, which you can Buy in Europe? Ist would ne very helpful

[@angelsuniverse6021]

I want something for the rode go mic to my pc to b able to conttol the preach sound better n also to put the audio on powerpoint or pics etc in the livestream....any help pls? I have the mic conected to the camera but no like it 😒

[@jasonpsam]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Jake!

[@Churchfront]

Glad I can help!

[@daceved2]

Question: Do you need to PAN left and right the channels at the DAW or can you just assign the left or right output of the Peavey USB-P directly to the DAW channel, say Click track and Backing Tracks?

[@illiprontimusic9764]

Do you know any guitarrist that used it? I have a Yamaha THR30 and it has a USB output

[@mpetty38]

Thanks for pointing this device out. I like the simplicity and price. My only question from the video is whether an interface really saves on processing. While I'm sure some take more than others, having the interface itself isn't necessarily cutting down on processing is it?

[@Churchfront]

I'm pretty sure having the audio interface's external soundcard does help with your computer's processing. Usually computers don't come with amazing soundcards built in.

[@KazKasozi]

The digital to analogue conversion for the audio is happening in the interface hence releasing the computer from having to process that directly. It is way more efficient.

[@matteaton5572]

Would this work for sending audio from a digital Allen and Heath to an online setup?

[@provencecrnko4163]

If I’m just using this for sounds and a midi keyboard how can I do that for one channel? I’m not using click tracks for this set up so I don’t need the extra output. Would I need a two to one adapter or can I run it all through one channel?

[@ennis437]

Where you using any audio interface before this one ? We currently use main stage to a Behringer UMC 204 which is great but we have to run 1/4 inch cables to direct boxes to mixer it would be great to eliminate that part of the signal chain. Assuming level and sound is clean

[@arscreativebekasi1941]

Hard to find information about Bit Depth and Sampling Rate, I was looking on official website but still nothing Can you tell us about it ? Thanks...

[@Justin-eu2qi]

Can it handle phantom power (48v)?

[@shawnjohnsamuel]

Has anyone had issues with noise (since there's no ground lift on this)? Also - did they stop making it? The Amazon link doesn't work! Available anywhere else?

[@snowyyy2343]

I got a at2020 and I wanna know if it would work

[@JuanCamacho21]

Do you use a Mac and GarageBand?

[@Churchfront]

We use that setup to record the sermon. But you need a different interface for that. I recommend the Behringer UMC 22

[@JuanCamacho21]

Churchfront with Jake Gosselin Thanks for the recommendation. If I wanted to do a small music studio in a basement with some barebones equipment using a smartphone to capture video, and my macbook to record sound, what else would you recommend? I am more of a video guy and no nothing about sound equipment.

[@Churchfront]

For recording vocals I would use a Shure SM57. Only a hundred bucks but sounds similar to the SM7B.

[@JuanCamacho21]

Great! Thanks for the help. Is there a way I can contact you later if I run into any other questions?

[@lukeramlet275]

the SM57 is more of an instrument mic used quite a bit for drums and other sorts. I think you meant the SM58 which is still $100 and is one of the most commonly used vocal mics.

[@ewrightphoto]

I really need this! I wish it still costs $47.. it's almost double now :(

[@Marvincruz]

I bought this audio interface. The 3.5 to DI box is a pain in the behind (don't ever touch the wire or you'll hear scratches and buzz). This solved tons of those audio issues. It was so cheap I was able to buy it for our small Church. I'm using Alesis Harmony 61 to Ableton Live+Sunday Keys on Windows laptop to Peavy USB-P to mixer. Saying hi from Philippines.

[@Napa724]

Bro, what do you use for your monitor?

[@LuisArmadaJr]

This may be a silly question, is it okay to use XLR to 1/4 cables in order to plug into a D/I box? I noticed your church setup uses XLR to XLR into that sub snake device. I’m not very versed in this topic. I just want to make sure there isn’t any sound or stability difference between the two setups.

[@cjleongson]

jake have you considered the orange omec? i think it would also be a nice consideration...

[@Churchfront]

Looks great for a guitar application!

[@jwweaver86]

How do you control the volume on this thing with a Mac and inside Prime? The volume buttons on my Mac have on control of the volume out. What am I doing wrong?

[@kring2gowest2]

Can this peavey usb p audio interface convertible to windows pc OBS , guys

[@garydillon6463]

Hi - I enjoyed your video as I am brand new to Mainstage. I have a brand new MacBook Pro that has two USB-C ports and a single audio port. I'd like to purchase a hub that will give me at least 3 USB-C ports and some standard USB ports. Do you have any recommendations? If use the Peavey audio interface you recommend, along with a power source for the Mac and the line to my controller keyboard, that will use 3 USB-C ports, unless I can use a standard USB to run from the Mac to the audio interface.

[@rrod6738]

Thanks for this awesome tip. Unfortunately, not even 1 store have this in Toronto, Canada. Any advice how I could get one of these?

[@TheSwisspictures]

Raymund Rodriguez there‘s a link at the top of the description to amazon

[@MANI-ri1fc]

Hey jake! Hope y ou can respond back. But when there’s 2 outputs on that interface. Will you need to have 2 channel strips also in the mixer? If that makes sense

[@thekennypowerz]

yes you would

[@Sam_imman]

mainstage in MacBook air ...seriously? please tell me that works so well without any problem. I'm preferring windows just because of the price of MacBook pro

[@michaelanifowoshe5243]

Your graphics, video and audio are top notch. What gears do you use???

[@Churchfront]

Thanks Michael! I'm using a Canon 6dmii, 24mm 1.4 lens, and a the senheisser mke 440 on camera mic.

[@michaelanifowoshe5243]

Churchfront with Jake Gosselin Thanks Jake. Appreciate it🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@erick8a51]

Does anyone know the latency that you get from this interface based on 128 samples? Specifically in mainstage.

[@nealevans8647]

Old post....but.....I'm thinking about using this for my software synth run from a laptop. Are there any noticeable latency issues when using this?

[@ferny9179]

Neal Evans there shouldn’t be. He explained this when he talked about the interface processing sound much better than main stage does, in other words, there should be no latency

[@j_gray]

Question: Could I in theory use this to have a total of 4 audio outputs from my Mac? The peavey would be XLR x 2 and then I would still have my headphone out? I'm thinking run Ableton tracks through the Peavey and then use the headphone out for Mainstage/Sunday Keys output.

[@jacobtinsley1106]

HI 10 yeared audio engineer here. To answer your question No. you are completely bypassing your laptops soundcard so if you are using any external audio interface you are limmited to the number of inputs and outputs that interface has.

[@st8472stvoy]

Hey! Great video! What are the specs for the macbook air? For I am currently using a macbook air (mid 2013) with 4GB of RAM, an dI thought that I needed an update to run mainstage smoother.

[@rodneytrevino6001]

Two more outs would have been great!

[@thienanle]

Yes! Two more for Click and Cue!

[@maxiibars420]

Another great video man 👍 !!! I will try this!!

[@Churchfront]

Thanks, Maxi!

[@Gee20232]

Looks like this only for keyboard users coz i dont see guitar input in it.

[@jasoncovington1889]

What’s that device that you have connected to your Mac?

[@Churchfront]

USB-c to USB adaptor. I hate it. Wish they would have just kept the USB ports on the Mac

[@phantomhacker3417]

I need your help when we record our sermons in my church. This stuff is expensive so I need someone to help me setting us up with recording the sermons. Also cameras as we want do create vlogs but the vlogs is going to be recorded every Sunday.. Please help.. Thanks for your reply.. Waiting for reply..

[@kennethnashe5461]

DI box gives me much more flexibility + quick and simple adjustments live

[@BandDirect]

good find jake! tanks bro

[@Churchfront]

👍👊

[@stephenpowell850]

Love the idea of this product, but man, it sure is hard to find... not a lot of stock and definitely not able to find it for "$47".

[@luismanoloperez6549]

Thanks Jake Gosseling

[@Churchfront]

You're welcome, Luis!

[@chooocoooleeezhang1251]

Dude i like your shirt !:)

[@M_gamez91]

we run click/track from leaders phone through 2 DI boxes. maybe one day we'll update to an AI

[@jon42689]

watched for over a minute of this and didn't hear a thing about the interface...

[@Napa724]

Try more minutes?

[@ferny9179]

He litterally has the interface in his hand the first couple of second 🤦🏻‍♂️ And a minute later, he goes in depth about the interface. Try watching maybe? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@brandon.r3411]

I subed just because he's talking about Jesus related stuff.. turn up..

[@eduardoprieto5267]

You just talk to much 1/2 of vid. Show what it does . GOD bless n rock on
