Fifine SC3 Gaming Audio Mixer & Interface: Review & Setup Guide

[@titusbest4201]

Thanks so much for this review.... I finally got this mixer for my podcast and it has been a lot of fun to use and great for my purposes.

[@Dealcasters]

Great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to let us know!

[@vikingwarriorinfo]

Great video, I bought one a year ago, and I am just now using it for gaming. Now I know what everything is for and does. Thanks.

[@Dealcasters]

Awesome! Like a "watchable instructions guide!" 😂 thanks for watching and taking the time to let us know!

[@wrayzur]

What a great review! This company should be paying you. I was hesitant on purchasing the Fifine SC3 but after watching your review, I think I’ll go ahead and order one! Very informative review 👍 gets a sub from me!

[@Dealcasters]

@@wrayzur thanks for watching and the kind words! Please let us know how it goes for you! Glad it helped you.

[@ViSiONXiD]

is it possible to control different application audios with the lines? Example like discord audio, web browsing etc

[@Dealcasters]

Not really. Since all the audio from your computer is routed one way into the mixer, there's no way to break it out once the audio is sent to the mixer itself. There are Virtual Audio Routing options for Mac and PC that you may want to look at if you want to mix audio of computer applications first (like Loopback, Voicemeeter, Soundflower and Jack). Does that help? Thanks for watching!

[@DuhmeBuilt]

for some reason i can't hear my custom sound pad playback. it's flashing indicating there is a recording but nothing plays. I can hear myself through the mic so i know the input is working fine. any suggestions?

[@BrookeAllport-fz1pc]

I have the same issue. I think its because you need to have your headset plugged into the mixer but im not sure

[@DuhmeBuilt]

@BrookeAllport-fz1pc that didn't work either. All the videos I've watched show the sound is transmitting to the pc too. I got in touch with fifine support so we'll see

[@LavenderLoungeSims]

@@DuhmeBuilt having the same issue with mine - running a bt headset and have my mixer connected to the mic inputting audio directly to my PC

[@brazen6850]

I have the mic and my headphones setup exactly as you have it in the video. Is there any way to independently control the volume of mic monitoring and my PC? When I have mic monitoring on and adjust the volume of my headphones on the interface it turns both of them up or down simultaneously.

[@Dealcasters]

You should be able to adjust the levels on your PC sound settings independently from the mixer.

[@sommy_shotit]

Please I have a question, after connecting it to the pod mic , where will the sound be recorded? Does is come with an sd card slot or is there an additional software for that ?

[@Dealcasters]

You will need to record your audio as needed with your computer software. Just make sure you select the mixer as your input and output source. Does that help you? Thanks for watching!

[@Runic-0]

I have a problem where I can hear the voice changer with mic monitor but nobody can hear the changer and only my mic

[@Dealcasters]

You have to make sure that you select the Fifine mixer in your computer sound settings as your Input. Depending on the software you are using, you will also need to check that the Fifine mixer is also selected as your sound input. For instance, on a Zoom call - you need to select your Fifine mixer as your Microphone Sound Source under preferences.

[@Runic-0]

​​@@Dealcastersalr appreciate the help

[@Dealcasters]

@@Runic-0 glad it helped you!

[@jccrippler3800]

Hello. Can someone help me I just buy mixer I cannot get the voice change to work

[@Dealcasters]

It sounds like maybe you aren’t either monitoring the mixer directly with the headphone output, or it isn’t set up properly in the sound settings of your computer or device (input and output). Here is a KZbin playlist that Fifine has that has troubleshooting for issues like these: kzbin.info/aero/PLZC6InEunXAHgpX-XLub3jpqyBt6kYQWz&si=fyZ8HsQs-4oXJTv7

[@ogspec5]

so i do have a shure mic and i was wondering if there is a software for the fifine SC3 because my mic sounds buzzy

[@Dealcasters]

There isn’t software for the mixer. You may want to check your mic cables.

[@thehowtostudios1980]

can you plug in headphones and monitor your Mic and your Computer audio for example if you are recording a gaming video

[@Dealcasters]

Yes this is possible if you connect it properly via the instructions. Thanks for watching!

[@paulcrowhurst9409]

i am having trouble connecting my k688 mic and the sc3 together, can i get some help:)

[@zenithken999]

I can’t find the way to stream on mobile phone setup?

[@Dealcasters]

This interface is made to work with a computer - but you can come out of your mobile phone into the "Input" jack on the back of the unit in order to use the mixing features on what you are playing from your phone. Does that help you?

[@TheLazyValentine]

Is there any way to connect in ear monitors in to hear your desktop sounds through the mixer?

[@Dealcasters]

Yes, select this interface as your input source in your sound settings of your computer.

[@Rshante23]

Is there anyway to control your computer volume with this mixer or desktop volume

[@Dealcasters]

Yes, you can adjust the volume of what you hear from your computer via the monitor of the mixer - and can also switch the output to different sources in your computer settings. Does this help you?

[@VaniljeTwitch]

Would this one work well with Shure MV7+? Heard the mic sound better with XLR compared to USB. Really like the video and even more tempted to get it, if it would work well with the mic.

[@Dealcasters]

MV7+ direct USB without this mixer sounds better.

[@MrTH1986]

I have a microphone with a USB output and I want to buy a XLR adapter. Can you tell me what kind of XLR the mixer plugs into? and thanks for this great review.

[@Dealcasters]

Thanks again!

[@DrewGarland]

Would this work well together with an SM57 through XLR cables? I appreciate ya!

[@Dealcasters]

It will, yes! SM57 is a solid mic!

[@DrewGarland]

@@Dealcasters I absolutely appreciate your feedback! :D

[@Dealcasters]

you're welcome!

[@KrumTommy-v7o]

Would this work with a dt 990 pro?

[@Dealcasters]

Yes! Both have a 3.5mm jack as well, so no need for an adapter. Thanks for watching!

[@kubiklookpl]

Is this working with sm7b any good?

[@Dealcasters]

The SM7B is a very gain-hungry mix. I would suggest a gainlifter (like a Cloudlifter) in the chain to minimize the noise.

[@MrTH1986]

I have a microphone with a USB output and I want to buy a XLR adapter. Can you tell me what kind of XLR the mixer comes with? and Thanks for this great review.

[@Dealcasters]

This is an XLR-only mixer/interface. Your usb mic won’t work with it unless it also has an XLR output as well as USB. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@MrTH1986]

​ @Dealcasters mine is a HyperX SoloCast, it's USB only 😢😢 I thought about searching Amazon or somewhere online for an XLR adapter, but I just want to know what kind of XLR head I'm going to plug into the mixer. can you help me, please ? sorry for disrupt and thanks again for this great review.

[@Dealcasters]

@@MrTH1986 An XLR adapter won't work when you have a USB mic and want to use an XLR mixer. Interfaces or mixers like this will take the analog signal from an XLR mic and make it digital to go USB into a computer. Unfortunately it won't work the other way around.

[@MrTH1986]

​@@Dealcasters this is bad. I am a beginner streamer unlike you so I don't understand much about these things. So I need a new mic, can you suggest me an affordable mic because I don't have a high budget? I have read a lot and watched many videos praising fifine microphones like Tank3 or AM8 and I thought about buying one, would you recommend me to use the microphones from this company? because the cost of their microphones does not exceed 80 dollars and this is a price I can afford. Thanks again and I am very sorry to bother you, I hope I did not take up your time.

[@Dealcasters]

@@MrTH1986 no problem at all. We have tested out the Fifine Tank3 here on the channel (a few videos ago) so you can see and hear if it will work for you. We were pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds, and it is both a XLR and USB mic so you can use it in different setups.

[@nervouscabbage]

What size xlr cables plus into the interface, is it a 3.5mm or a larger jack, many thabks for the video!

[@Dealcasters]

It is a standard XLR (microphone) cable that inputs into the interface. Since it is a dual input, you can plug in a 1/4" cable into it as well. As for the line-in input (for tablets, phones, etc) it is a 1/8" input. Does that help you?

[@nervouscabbage]

@Dealcasters thanks I think I know what you mean, I have a rode podcaster with a 3.5mm xlr cable so should work fine thanks for the help!

[@Dealcasters]

@@nervouscabbage actually - the rode podcaster is a usb mic - and will not work with this interface. USB mics like the Rode Podcaster are made to plug directly into computers. The mic input for interfaces like this are for XLR mics (not USB mics) with traditional mic cables.

[@nervouscabbage]

@Dealcasters I have the xlr style one I may have got the name wrong it's just arrived thanks for all this info it's super handy!

[@CrisCRCx]

Can I use a Marshall guitar amp on this? To be heard through the sc3 on my pc

[@ayoubbenali5780]

Does this mixer have DAC functionality?

[@Dealcasters]

Yes, generally it does: you can input digital signals (like from a smartphone or tablet) and go out to speakers. Thanks for watching!

[@ayoubbenali5780]

@Dealcasters thanks for the reply!

[@Dealcasters]

@ you’re welcome!

[@KandosX]

Returned it after 2 days. x4 custom sounds is maybe useful to record (but it records in terrible quality no matter what mic you use) Electric voice you wont ever use. So you are pretty much paying for a voice changer button and sliders of volume which any fifine mic you buy already has. And as a sound card it literally does allmost nothing to improve your voice.

[@Dealcasters]

Thanks for your take! If someone already has a USB mic and doesn’t want the sound features then we agree! If someone has an XLR mic and needs an interface to their computer- this is an affordable option! Thanks for watching!

[@DrewGarland]

@@Dealcasters I appreciate your review and feedback!
