How to Use an Audio Interface
Using an audio interface is key to getting great recordings in your studio setup. This video is aimed at the beginner who just got a new interface and wants to set up and start recording. From the home studio to Abbey Road, from FL Studio to Pro Tools using an interface is standard in music production. For this example, I use my UA Apollo Twin Interface, but the concepts will apply no matter what interface you have or choose.

[@amarradior]

Im a 15 year old Recording artist and I've been getting into engineering. Your videos have helped me a lot. Thanks Wayne !

[@manuellujan5625]

To be the rec artist is one thing...to be the engineer is another....lol! Same here been recording for about 15 years as weñl and decided to get into the science of recording. So much to learn!👍🏼😃

[@doperaphitz1260]

@@manuellujan5625 right so much to learn, & ion have the patience or mental space beyond copy paste 2 track premixed beat from youtube to my vocals ahahaha

[@TheKaliMalia]

Listened to some of your music and you're doing amazing! Keep goin!

[@prod.bongoat2560]

Ayeee I don't even need this video probably but you know we still tuned in

[@waynewav]

NEVER KNOW WHAT KINDA GEM I MIGHT DROP!

[@gamingwhileitshot8040]

@@waynewav Thanks, you finally did a help video on that Apollo Twin. I really needed that. My only gripe is when I recorded a guitar from the front input into the DAW (Fl Studio) it was recorded as a very low mono signal. I still can't figure out why? I have my settings similar to one of your older videos. Probably one of your studio session videos.

[@marcphil808]

No bullsh*t I’m way past this tip of my tip but I still watched lol

[@lexghozt]

@@waynewav I needed that dongle to use a twin (pc) on mac

[@TinoCruze]

Same trying to pick up as much knowledge as possible

[@NotInService]

Thank you Wayne, you made everything easy to understand. I am a musician first and everything else second so I appreciate the straight forward instruction that you shared here. I look forward to checking out your channel for more on home recording.

[@christopherlitt5416]

Bro, you da man! You bridge the gap of common issues people have and the lack of other material that supports instructional videos like this.

[@92bricks]

Bruh I JUST BOUGHT AN INTERFACE and was watching your Logic Pro video yesterday!! Subscribed. You a real G.

[@DJ-ll4mq]

Got an interface. Don't know why. Don't know what the heck it does. NO ONE explains it like this. YOU are the BEST!!!!

[@waynewav]

Lol. Thanks fam. Good luck on your new journey

[@robsauls5302]

​@waynewav do you know how to remove the hz signal from the interface...

[@TrypKingsley]

Damn, dude. I'm impressed. This was so cohesive and it felt like you were speaking my language the whole time. Thanks for breaking this down for us.

[@DeepFreezz]

Thanks for the extra info my man!!!!

[@WKGDI]

You’re the best for guiding people while being entertaining!

[@LilRie99]

I am a huge fan of you man. I record music on my own and mix and master my own stuff. Your videos help me a lot. Where the headphones at though ????

[@JoeyOuso]

Could you do a complete review and installation of the Audient Id44 with the talk back option on the interface?

[@mrvron]

The UAD sounds great But I had issues with it on my windows 10 and I replaced it for Antelope audio maybe next update will make it better and I can buy it again

[@gustavogavilanezyela8227]

Your lessons are so useful! I can't wait to buy my own stuff and recording myself 🙌

[@waynewav]

💯💯 Happy to help!

[@fenrico]

Useful video

[@CraigBurton-sd3hk]

Judy bought the Apollo twin and your vid helped me make sense and hook mine up.! Thanks so much

[@wallace_nelson]

Thank You for using the Apollo Twin!!!! I moved from Focusrite to Apollo twin Duo. So this video is much appreciated.

[@reggiepaige6917]

Thanks Wavy Wayne, I have been blessed to build a home studio 🎙 for myself now I am trying to learn. Apollo Twin Duo interface, Adam TV7 Studio Monitors and Ts10 Subwoofer. Studio one Professional version 4 Daw, Komplete S49 MK2 and Machine drum Mk3. I am just trying to learn it all while finishing my Mastwe Degree. Keep the videos coming!

[@Light-zu1ys]

I've been using the setting of "interface + condenser mic + phantom power" to record my own vocals since I was 15 so I should've been very comfortable with this whole process, but I just ordered an Apollo Twin last night and all of these discussions in the forums and comment sections complaining about how much of a pain in the ash it is got me really confused and intimidated. So glad that I've found this video!!! You did such a great job demonstrating each and every part of the hardware and I'm so relieved, thank you! Well from my pov this particular model not only isn't as painful as all those people complained about, but far more intuitive than most of the portable interfaces I've used before. Talking about "to each of their own" LOL! Now I'm really excited to receive my APL box and to play with it!! Again, really appreciate it man!

[@PremeRothstein]

thank you i didnt kno what the pad or the O was for Respect i got the twin thunderboldt 3 it was funny trying to explain this to somone with anyother interface they probably like i need one of those ua should pay for the promo

[@paulbannon2968]

You're definitely a light in the dark for all of us trying to figure out this recording thing sir. Thank god for you 🙏😎

[@2abeaatz]

Yo Wayne wassup . Love your videos . I got a quick question . I just got the Apollo twin mk2 and I am trying to figure out how to connect two headphones so I can listen while I record an artist in the booth . How do I do that ? Thanks 😊

[@nicolemaust6826]

just got the apollo x twin and was strugglin hard to figure everything out but this was so helpful thank you!!!

[@marleyblaqgaming5906]

Good Look On This Tutorial. I've Owned The Apollo Twin Quad MKII Duo For About a 2 Years & Theres Still Some Features I Wanna Learn About It

[@LethalDos]

I would definitely like to check out some wavy headphones!

[@PaulGill369]

Thank you

[@ZahidulIslamLondon]

That’s why I like your video You explain very well step by step. Well done 😊

[@FeliciaBrownHudson]

Finally! A video that breaks this down for a beginner like me...THANKS WAVY!!!

[@LivingLikeLarry722]

great vid man, just bought the apollo x4. sent it back cause i thought it was to complicated, been watching your videos and I've KNOW I can handle it. Started with the focusrite, so it's time for an upgrade. So I'm recopping it lol.

[@ganglalo]

I just opened up my studio for booking at my current office space where I usually just make beats. I've experienced latency with my scarlett 2i2 3rd gen and some static/vnyl noise coming out on vocals. I am still on a budget as I am currently spending $ on bills and other products. Im not really focusing on sessions with bands where I need so many input connections. The Mic I'm currently using is a Warm wa87. Is there a Audio Interface you recommend to use for now to upgrade from my Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen if the Apollo Twin is out the picture?

[@LethalDos]

Tuned in!

[@reyalenmusic]

Make a video on how to use it with logic and console !

[@kendalldeanmusic]

YES Thank you so much for breaking this down in such a clear and concise way!!! You da best.

[@ItzrealMusic]

Gotta make a video on how to connect preamps to this thing correctly people still don’t know bro

[@getTheSchmack]

you the goat man! this is simple to most people but people like me need easy steps that you provided!

[@bigal280]

Thnx 2 u i realize i can run my tiny Bose as ref monitors as well as my mains. I have that very interface. Go UA!! U da man!

[@DjSmileyG]

I have the Presonus Audiobox 96

[@socallous]

bro if i blow up in music lol i owe it to you lmao! much love

[@holysmokesaj4746]

WAVY!! This video was soooo helpful! Especially to a beginner like myself! Thank you!

[@JoeyOuso]

Wavy got a question I tuna the Apollo twin in my home studio. The next thing is how could I set up a talk back system for myself and vocalist. But at the same time I don’t want to sacrifice using the Apollo. Any idea???

[@jaydgrath]

Can you do a video on creating vocal presets? I got a scarlett and can't seem to figure out how to record pro vocals.

[@erichsiao3]

2 minutes in this video but that explanation was really good.

[@akomeofy2046]

that's what I may call a really democratic and humble way of transmitting sophisticated knowledge to others, thx bro' Wayne

[@jeriahisrael12]

Great video. Very helpful and informative. I would buy those headphones bruh. Keep us updated.

[@houseofgraceworship]

Is it better to use a trs to trs cable and connect the Apollo with the headphone amp through the hp jack or is it better or can I or should I use an x y cable to trs and use line 3-4 in the back of the Apollo?

[@JustinFvze]

Bro I’m not even picking up a signal from my mic.. I’m so frustrated! Please help! Is there something I’m missing that I had to do?

[@renatocamaramusic]

Im trying to connect my Apollo interface to my Mac Pro which doesn't have thunderbolt input. So I bought the adapter from apple. still doesnt recognize it. Like its not connected to the Mac. Do you know what the problem is and how to fix it? I would much appreciate it! Thanks

[@dabigguy83]

Yo!!! I'd definitely want a couple of sets of those headphones!!! Keep us posted bro!

[@johnblackman1374]

Yo u explained it very well, but my question is will this interface still have good audio if I’m not doing any type of studio recording. More like just talking like u are.

[@carmenpinto3413]

Thank you so much. Excellent video! You have a great teaching style.

[@KD803]

Bro I’m just starting and I need some serious help with everything! Lmao not kidding tho.. I’ve watched almost all of your videos bro but my only thing is I have standard protools, or the free version I guess, I got it when I bought my interface! Long story short, my vocals sound like serious shit!!!! I can literally, and have produced way cleaner vocals on my phone with some regular Apple headphones 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@KASH4MYRUNTZ]

Is in the eqing always take away before adding!

[@SLinke-vc6yl]

Your video is very helpful! How do you set up a keyboard with the Apollo interface?

[@EdgMixing]

I wanna buy the Apollo Twin MKII but i don’t own a mac i work on my pc, windows 10 will i have any problems ?

[@PaulIsbell]

Hey Wayne, so when connecting the Apollo Twin Duo MKII to an iMac with Thunderbolt 2, the dongle will work with that right?

[@fredmason3919]

I need a apollo twin x so bad bro

[@mattolivo]

[@mjgamboa2936]

Hi, I just have a question, will a clip-on pick-up for an acoustic guitar be recognized in an audio interface?

[@1145Records]

Can you record vocals through the mic and guitar at the same time?

[@jesusalonso2526]

Dumb question. I have the thunderbolt cable. I need a thunderbolt adapter as well?

[@DJ_Oso_Avon]

My Guy, never lets me down!
