Connect Scarlett 2i2 to Video Camera

[@mdd83646]

This is the best explanation of Balanced and Unbalanced TRS I've ever seen. Very well done.

[@LuchaMedia]

I was running my scarlet 2i2 into my camera to remove delay when using the CamLink 4k video capture. Now it all is coming through the CamLink and is synced up perfectly. At first, I was getting so much static noise and couldn't figure out why. This video basically solved all my problems. Thank you so much!

[@jefferson.castillo]

Option 2 sounded real good!

[@psalmsbyharvz81]

Great video. Just wondering, Can I use both outputs at the same time? I mean one goes to the camera and the other one goes to a headphone.

[@newartgalleryYT]

Would this work the same with a Focusrite Scarlet Solo?

[@deannaford357]

Thank you for this video! Such a clear explanation and was exactly what I needed!

[@DemiJohnson-h8y]

Can you do this with the third generation focusrite scarlett interface? The back doesn't look the same.

[@MrGilperc]

Could you use a setup like this to add an external camcorder for video in a Skype Drum Lesson?

[@daveebbelaar]

I tried option 1 with the Scarlett Solo to the Sony ZV-E10 with camera recording level set low. However, when I start recording, all I hear is a very loud static noise. I can barely hear my own voice. Cable is 3 feet. Any ideas what could cause this?

[@topshelfmike]

2:03 - This should help you. Turn the pre-amp down lowest setting

[@eagleheight]

Thank you!! Your tip has helped me to cancel the noise coming in the audio while recording with my mirrorless camera..Keep up the great work!

[@adfreeaccount24]

So I'm new to audio and so far this is the best explanation I've found. Thank you bc I was honestly lost

[@kettnercreative]

Glad it helped!

[@Fariqikwan]

Sir , you forgot to mention where the power cables should connect to.

[@yiwu3520]

The scarlet is powered by plugging into a usb/computer, but other than that you shouldn’t need power if I’m understanding correctly.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

You can get "dummy" batteries for most cameras that come with a power adapter. You need a usb cable for the Scarlett and power amd hdmi out for the camera. Then use obs studio to bring them all together.

[@radhamartinez5463]

So helpful! Is there a way to connect your DAW/interface directly to your DSLR? or would this have to be thru a laptop - streaming style?

[@valentinegs]

How do you film and get Audi through the computer like you are here? I've looked everywhere for a tutorial. Thank you

[@frandyjoseph2870]

Hey thank your for the video I did everything you said to do the difference is I was using a powered mixer and mines didn’t work good it was noisy and hissy and when I put it down it was way too low to even edit. So can I use a powered mixer with this set up or no please ?. Thanks in advance

[@antonescobar954]

how you doin sir, i had a question i have mackie profxv3plus and when i do some recording using audacity the background music wont work only my voice . thanks

[@gustavocampos4797]

Can the 2i2 interface be connected to a 5v phone adapter? does it only work to use line outputs? Or does it only work on computers USB?

[@budbabyuk]

Hello, appreciate your videos. When you connect option 1 to the camera, is it the microphone within the camera we hear or external. I would like to use an external mic but record with Sony ZV 1 with audio interface and I'm not sure if I can do it this way? Many thanks Janine

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Much appreciated advice and approaches

[@patricktuftsofficial]

Is there a way to wirelessly connect it to my camera?

[@larrypritchard9594]

This video was very helpful and look forward to watching more. How do I make sure I’m watching them in order?

[@PolymerJones]

I tried everything in this video with my Scarlett and Canon Mark 3 and couldn't get any levels on the camera whatsoever,, mic setup works fine and everything, can a camera not take phantom power signal? I've been so disappointed with the scarlett, I probably need a preamp?

[@TomiTakamaa]

Did you switch the direct monitor on on your Focursite?

[@zerkorj]

But wait when filming an interview for example how do you setup all of this with all thid cables? You always bring a small table to put tje audio geats? 😅

[@ramseyvigney7469]

Do you still have to use the cloud lifter with the 3rd option? If this is optional, would you still recommend using the cloud lifter?

[@latehappylife]

Great video. I'm a novice. I have some electronic knowledge. But new nothing about audio interface. A few weeks ago I decided to try to to make karaoke singing videos to upload on my KZbin channel. I used my S21 phone for recording playing the karaoke video from my PC and singing (badly)!. The video and sound came out ok. I'm now looking to buy a audio interface like the scarlet . I will connect the audio output to my S21 for now and see if there is an improvement in the sound quality. Now here is the question. Where do I connect the audio line out from my PC to the Focusrite scarlet to mix with the microphone sound output? Also, what kind of a reasonable price microphone should I buy? Thank you

[@thesergiosanchez444]

do you have to connect the Scarlett to a computer when using the audio interface connected to a video interface connected to a dslr mic input?

[@Richard-kl9bb]

Hi, great info, got a question for you. I'm designing a set up where an XLR shotgun mic will run through the 2i2 and link to the camera via the headphone jack, the camera is being used as a webcam. The audio and visual will be recorded via webcam/screen capture software on the computer. A HDMI cable with capture card links the audio/visual from the camera to the computer which keeps it synced. None of my cables run over six feet in length so there should be no or very low interference. The question is do I need to download and use the 2i2 software for any reason in this set up? The 2i2 should work with the power only via the usb cable. The reason I'm asking is because if a usb cable is plugged into my computer when the HDMI is linked it mutes the volume so I can't hear via the screen capture set up. I'm thinking of powering the 2i2 from an adapter via the mains or from another computer which means the software would be irrelevant. Would this work?

[@Richard-kl9bb]

The answer is yes you do need to download the software. This way of setting up works amazingly well for screen capture tutorial work with Camtasia, audio and video sync is super stable. If your lighting is good and you have sound treated your workspace there is no editing required. Boom, highly efficient workflow, Back of the Net my Son - (UK football (soccer) term).

[@Artz52]

My Scarlett Solo doesn't have that little extra knob for the audio adjustment when plugging in the Aux. WIll that be a big issue?

[@MrHhkrohn]

Can you do one on recording audio via the focusrite to a VCR? Thank you !

[@deannaalee]

thank you!! i have a question-will it work if i use a 1/4” to 3.5mm (1/8”) adapter on a regular 1/4” cable instead? the cable itself won’t arrive in time for when i need it but i can get an adapter

[@NicholasAmpazis]

The third solution seems a bit redundant. Why not plug XLR mics directly to the “video” interface?

[@larrypritchard9594]

I’m running this with my Behringer X 32 and want to set up left and right bus outputs so I can have one for the left signal and one for the right signal. Should I purchase the two port cloud lifter? It looks on the video like you have a one port cloud lifter. Do I put the cloud lifter directly to the Behringer and then from to the focuslite and then from there to the camera interface?

[@dollymccabe6146]

How can I do the same, but with connecting two shure mv7 microphones?

[@bekacynthia]

What about recording straight into a cell phone camera?

[@behzadnasr]

Hi . Thanks for your video. But I have a question about how can I record when I play guitar or piano or keyboard 🎹 to my Mobile som Video High quality? Focusrite or another Options? Thanks

[@mikasubba]

Sir, I didn't understand onething. I also need to connect mixer to audio interface. How to do that? We have vocals, drums, guitars and bass guitar into mixer. And I want that mixer to Scarlet 2i2 connection.

[@larrypritchard9594]

I purchased the Focuslite but the software I downloaded, says the output of this does not support this device. What device is it ?talking about? I did not purchase the camera interface, but we already have one with 2XLR inputs. Do you think I need to upgrade the camera interface?

[@TechButler]

But what if I want to go the other direction and connect a 1/8 4-pole mic jack to an audio interface? I know this sounds like a bad idea compared to a more professional mic, but I'm curious how I would do this.

[@4130Media]

i was always wondering on how to do this properly... thank you so much!!

[@jessical4327]

hey there i'm trying to figure out how to use my 2 XLR mics through EVO 4 interface to my Nikon Z30. I would like to try stereo recording, have one mic be as the left mic and have the other be as the right mic so I can have a binaural audio when I record. I'm currently using 2 XLR cables to power my mics which is connected to my evo's line in and then i have a dual 1/4" TS (connected to my evo interface's line outputs) to 1/8" TRS jack (connected to my camera). For some reason it only sends a mono signal to my camera. I had a zoom H4N before as an audio interface and it would send a stereo signal to my camera. Please give me suggestions on what I should do! thank you!

[@Mr.C0ffee]

So is the 1st method better than the 2nd?

[@andyproduction0601]

Gracias me Silvio de mucha ayuda este video gracias

[@EvoEightRich03]

I have a question I have a behringer 404 HD interface with 4 Condenser mic's hooked up and it is connected to my camera just like you said but I cannot get the mono to work, stereo works just fine, it comes out of the headphones great! but when I push the mono button I'm getting nothing out of the headphones so I can't monitor the audio only in stereo any ideas! When I switch it from stereo to mono the camera is Recognizing it Just fine And if I record without headphones it works great but I can't hear anything because I have no headphones to monitor. I'd appreciate any help I could get! I've been trying to figure this out for days.Thanks! Great Video By The Way!!

[@joonajks]

Should my Mac sound input & output be set to the interface?

[@ChinaChottz]

can focusrite scarlett 2i2 gen 2 be connected to the camera as well ?

[@finnyboy82]

Really enjoy your videos explained very clearly. Thanks!

[@flamencoasmr471]

Great video . Thanks for that. but I have a question that a few either people have asked you as well. How do you use one channel on your interface and get audio on both channels of the camera? I'll appreciate if you could answer this. Best

[@kettnercreative]

Set your direct monitoring mode to be mono and it will work.

Hi Ketner. I Have a Yamaha MG10 XU Mixer and I have been watching your videos and they are very interesting but I would like to know if you have or you could make a video how with how to connect this Mixer to a Home Amplifier, TV,CD player, Karaoke player ETC, I believe this Mixer can control all of those, thanks in advance.

[@kettnercreative]

Yeah, we should do a video on this. But the quick answer is to take the RCA output from your home amplifier/etc and connect it to the RCA input in 7/8 or 9/10 on the mixer.

I use the AIR 192/14 and it's a beast! It sounds like an industry grade interface imo

[@tpow2651]

@@xxrounds64 I use the 192-4 and its a been a better much interface than the ones recommended. Better than both the Scarlett solo and the m track solo (which i bought and returned both) for functionally purposes imo. Plus the mtrack solo is known to have some red light catastrophic failure that’s never mentioned. I wish there was more research and experience with use that went into these recommendations vs a first impression for views. Especially for uneducated audio equipment users like myself

[@xxrounds64]

@@tpow2651 ​ @tpow I feel you 100%! I've been making music for years and I'm well versed in audio interfaces. The only 2 reasons I bought my AIR 192 are because I couldn't afford a UA Apollo at the time and the AIR 192/14 was the most worthy competitor to it IMO (same functionality and inputs for lower price)
