Thank you Gabriel! You’re the man! God bless my friend! I’ve never done a super thanks before. I’m glad you give the option!

[@GabrielVIP]

Thank you for your support, my friend. I appreciate it! I hope you will make the right decision for you and achieve great results :) Thank you!

[@dustinmurphy82]

@@GabrielVIP thank you Gabriel.

[@dustinmurphy82]

No way. It happened again lol you posted the EXACT right video lol I narrowed my decision to the Rode Duo and Scarlett 2I2 after last video but i don’t know anything about audio and read that the Duo had automatic settings that make it sound great as a plug and play. I had no idea how to dial up the software. But now the 2I2 is back in play. I would like the save the $200+ if possible lol. You’re the man!!

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I understand but be careful, it's a big difference between Rodecaster DUO and Scarlett interfaces. These audio interfaces don't have internal processing as Rodecaster. If you want that, go with Rodecaster. This tutorial is just to record the audio clean but you need to process the sound after :)

[@dustinmurphy82]

@@GabrielVIP thanks I think I am going with the Duo still. It’s in my cart. I’m just waiting to get paid lol

[@GabrielVIP]

Duo it's a great, complex system. You need to learn how to use it but after, you can reach great results. I use it and I am happy with it. It's a great device :)

Just bought the 4th gen solo. Might be useful🎉

[@GabrielVIP]

Glad to hear that :) Let me know if you managed to set it up :)

Awesome video as always Gabriel!!

[@dustinmurphy82]

This is literally the best channel for talking head lessons. I am in the process of turning my faceless into talking head and I have learned so much from Gabriel! He has saved me quite a bit of $ during the process as well lol I’m still catching up on his catalog but Im convinced I couldn’t have learned more if I spend $1000 on a course. I look/feel/sound like a total fan boy but I’m ok with that 😂😂😂

[@peechabot]

thank you for talking about the fact that it comes with a usb A to usb C cable which I was hoping would be talked about since I didn't know if I could just buy a usb C to C cable and it still work since I just bought a new MacBook and it doesn't have any usb A ports...thanks for saving the headache!

Sir you have told us how to record our audio and can you please make a video on how to edit our audio like you please

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! Sure! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4TYnZifndeshMksi=o3G3pK873nBwlAMx Thank you!

[@SamirPickUpThePhone]

can i connect 2 pair of headphones with this audio interface? I mean i need to conncect a microphone, a first pair of headphone for me and a second pair of headphone for the person who's recording, is it possible?

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! No! Maybe if you use another device. A splitter or something…

[@mightymaik161]

Thx a lot! 😃

[@GabrielVIP]

Glad you like it! Thank you 🙋🏻‍♂️🤗

[@Narutouzumaki3226]

Hey gabriel, i use mv7 and i connect it with my focusrite solo same like you, but the voice is so low that i need to rotate the gain until maximum, and that still not in -12 to -6 db, in scarlett application i also mix output 1 and 2 (if not mistaken) so my voice become louder, and my channel is 4th channel, do you have any tips to fix that so i can use my mic loudly enough like you, thanks

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! MV7 should work fine. It’s a dynamic mic so you don’t need to activate the phantom power. But something it’s wrong. Mixing the channels shouldn’t make the gain louder. Hmmm. It’s almost impossible to see what’s wrong if I don’t see the setup.

[@JackofCubes]

I need help I have the solo 4th gen I think and it won't show up in sound settings or under "sound video and game controllers" in the device manager. I'm very frustrated

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! It looks like a driver problem or firmware. Try to update. Also, check the cable to be a good cable. It’s impossible to figure it out like this.

[@Sam_da_man7]

Is there any way I can connect a turntable through the Scarlet Solo 4th gen and then import into Audacity. I tried but I only got the left channel of sound being imported, not the right channel, because I’m recording in stereo and need both channsls

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! The mic input and the instrument input are mono. So, you will only record one channel.

[@evidensevisiontv5617]

I’m having issues with mine it’s not reading my interface and it recognizes the headphones in fruity loops but not the scarlett microphone please help

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! It is impossible to find the problem like this. I never used Fruity Loops. Try to upgrade the drivers, firmware, and everything. It looks like a connection problem.

[@lilliardsgaming]

Hi there, Can i use this device without the computer ? Using a 5V usb adapter? Just for singing and recording it in my phone?

[@whyamihere8605]

no

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I never used it like that. I am not 100% sure if you can do it.

[@Definitely_Not_Angel]

Hey! New to the audio world. I was wondering if I can get two separate TRS cables and plug them in or do they have to be dual?

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I don't understand. Do you want to connect your speakers? You need two cables. One for the right speaker and one for the left one.

[@Definitely_Not_Angel]

@ I have the Kali LP-UNF so both of the TRS inputs are one one speaker and there’s a special cord that connects the speakers together.

[@Definitely_Not_Angel]

On one*

[@GabrielVIP]

I understand. If you connect just In one you will have a signal in one speaker. You need an adaptor from two mono-male jacks to a stereo-female jack.

[@GabrielVIP]

I searched online for your speakers. Looks like you need a classic cable with two trs. You will connect a cable with two trs on one side to the two outputs from the interface and on the other side have the same two tra that connects to the right and left of the speaker.

[@shannvanderleek1111]

Thank you. I'm all set up but my my Shure MV7X is not working with my Scarlett solo 4th Gen and GarageBand. Any suggestions? All setting preferences on MAC and in GB ( input /output) see the Scarlett but the MIC is not recording.

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I never used Garage Band, so it's impossible for me to figure out if something is set wrong there. Do you receive the signal in the interface? The light around the gain knob it's showing up?

[@RedCupMafia]

I am not able to change sample rate or use usb c to usb c cable on my MacBook m1 air any suggestions? I have control software and am attempting to use garage band as DAW. I want to change sample rate because of static and playback malfunctions.

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! It never happened to me. Check to have the latest firmware. I will search to see if I can find something about this problem. Thank you!

[@juankartxui]

HI there! What usb c to usb c cable do you use to connect the scarlett to the mac? Usb c 2.0 or superior? I have been checking with Focusrite and they seem to recommend the cheapest amazon basic cable....

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I use something like this: amzn.to/40YggrD It's a superior cable, but I use it because I have it :)) It's not mandatory, but I recommend having good cables :)

[@johnpwrites]

Great video. I bought shure sm7b, a cloudlifter CL1, and the focusrite device you are demo-ing. I am imputing to Apple Logic Pro, Sm7b Xlr to input 2..I turn gain up all the way and sound is still low and I get a buzz. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks!

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! Something it’s wrong. So: connect the mic to the CL1 and the CL1 to the audio interface. After you connect them, turn on the 48v phantom power and increase the gain step by step. It should work! Also, check if the cables are ok.

[@johnpwrites]

@@GabrielVIP Thanks much! I've tried everything. I think the mic is counterfeit. I bought it for 140 on ebay. Too good to be true. I've requested a return.

[@mannyfreitas5563]

Is this a good option for streaming through your phone instead of the iRig?

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! No! It's hard to use an external interface with a phone. Something dedicated for that it's better :)

[@mannyfreitas5563]

@@GabrielVIP Thank you! any recommendations on a good stereo sound card for that? I currently use the iRig 2, but need something better. Thank you in advance!

[@bhaganiasaab5027]

Now my another confusion is how to render 4k video without loosing quality in premiere pro please make a video on this too sir

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I don't use Premiere Pro. I just set it up for the audio interface. But if you render in 4k, h264, or h265 at a high bitrate you will be ok :)

[@ItsRyukin]

Does this thing also works with cameras / camcorders or it’s just for PCs and Laptops?

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! This is an Audio Interface for a PC or laptop :) It will not work with cameras.

[@MississippiSheik]

If I buy this unit can I record direct to it? And what else would I need? Laptop, monitor speakers etc thanks

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! No! You can’t record directly in the interface. You need to connect it to your pc. You need to have what I showed in the video. A mic to connect it to the interface, connect the interface to a laptop or pc, and to hear the audio you need headphones or speakers. And of course cables. This is not a recorder. It's an interface between a microphone and speakers and the PC

[@MississippiSheik]

@GabrielVIP thank you so much for your reply

[@gentlemanslife9907]

I live stream in a church service using focusrite. The sound is always distorted on youtube. I get bus line from the church mixer, connect it through the focusrite then to the computer for live streaming. The sound is horrible. Can you make a video about big scale live streaming? Thnks for your videos they help a lot

[@GabrielVIP]

Hey! I don't have experience in that kind of situation but if the signal that goes into the Focusrite is not clipped or distorted is a matter of how you set your gain or something from the streaming software. Take them one by one and see where that clipping appears.

[@Doggieman1111]
