How do you feel about the Mackie Onyx 2.1? I’m not finding any connectivity tutorials for this particular interface and I’d purchased one…

[@pabloamoon]

You are so kind to explain everything so slow and detailed

[@lawnboyph]

Great tutorial basics here. This format and pace is fantastic.

I just discovered your channel today and this is probably my 3rd video. And I have learned so much. Straight to the point, zero BS, no unnecessary bg soundtrack. Subscribed! I also had a query - I have a Blue Yeti usb mic and an Epiphone acoustic guitar (without any pickup/output). I also have Edifier speakers that take Coax, RCA and Optical inputs. What would be the simplest way to use the speakers to listen to real time guitar output from my Blue Yeti? Is it even possible? Any pros&cons? Thanks!

Super solid video!

[@analog_ape]

Very informative, just what I was looking for - thanks!

[@AlecKatz]

Thank you, Jordan for yet another great review. Considering the size of the Yamaha speakers (which I love because of the true representation of sound) what size would you recommend for small room, placed close to walls - HS5, HS7 or maybe even HS8? I’m upgrading from a Mackie CR-3

[@kettnercreative]

I went with the HS5 because my desk space is at a premium. I’m really happy with them.

[@AlecKatz]

@@kettnercreative Thank you✨

[@loubloom153]

great video. I want HTPC home theatre consisting of 11.4.6 dolby atmos configuration 17->Neumann KH 420 speakers 4-> JTR 4000ULF subwoofers What USB audio interface you recommend for the above setup. Thanks in advance

[@visualwriter]

Great video, very informative

Is it better to use an audio interface for live plying eg acoustic and singing to minimise Interference and increase quality ?

[@aaronarriaga1822]

I want to get some speakers now but I can’t get an audio interface for another month. Should I buy the speakers and use them directly with my computer, or should I wait to buy an audio interface so as to not damage the speakers in the meantime?

[@brentonsmith8921]

Okay but my question is can i plug them in directly to my stage piano

[@amirshayanmoghtaderi5840]

Thank you for this video, I have a question, is balance connection make a huge difference for a entry level monitors like Eris 3.5?

[@michaelg9359]

Is there any way to play passive/stereo speakers out of an m audio interface without using an amp? Using the Power of the computer itself or something else? OR - is there a connector which allows you to play passive/stereo speakers straight out from the computer? Thanks--

[@abbyleyva2211]

I have a new mini pc with an interface and no monitors in a booth. Just headphones with one xlr mic. I notice some noise and it seems to happen when the pc is doing doing things like running a LAN speedtest. Its a wired Internet connection. It doesn't seem normal.

[@johnm1644]

My laptop is pretty old, do I need a specific software so that the solid state logic interface works? Thanks

[@kiterockit779]

This helped ALOT!!!…thanks.

[@VicLeonTV]

First off, great video! Is it possible to run a stereo headphone jack to 2 balanced quarter inch connections (instead of to 2 unbalanced as you showed in the example) to then get rid of interferance?

[@paulthiebaut]

Because your jack input signal is stereo, it is already unbalanced so using 2 balanced connections after it won't fix the issue, the resulting signal will be unbalanced whatever you do. You'll always need an additional conversion hardware (like an audio interface) to balance the signal.

[@VicLeonTV]

First off, great video. I just purchased a pair of KRK speakers that I need to connect to my tascam US 600. I can’t seem to find TRS to RCA cables, the tascam only excepts RCA to connect speakers. Since I can only find TS to RCA cables, is that OK or do you recommend me searching deeper for TRS to RCA cables? Not even sure if TRS to RCA cables even exist.

[@shellbellhealing]

Can I use the studio speakers to sing live at home?? I have mic audio interface and studio speakers. I didn't realise they were studio. Struggling to set it up so sing live on social media

[@angelodark6144]

The reason why I don’t want to get an interface I was interested in getting the Apollo twin but it’s so complex and so complicated. I’m not sure. I’ll be successful. I’m still learning ableton live 12 and I wanna focus on that because the interface is like a whole Nother world. It’s too much information for me all at once. It’s like you have to learn a whole Nother ecosystem. Then you have to use the keyboard and learn that too. It’s too much I want to focus on learning the program first, and have it in some speakers rather than my laptop

[@OnlineMD]

Question: can I use the headphone jack of an Audio Interface and connect via a TRS cable to a SINGLE Studio Monitor and get the full stereo output into that one monitor? Would most appreciate knowing that!

[@kettnercreative]

The short answer is no. If you use a TRS cable, it would be taking Unbalanced Stereo from the headphone jack. The input on the studio monitor is balanced mono. It would ignore the right output of the headphone jack since it's in-phase with the left input.

[@OnlineMD]

@@kettnercreative awesome valuable info, thanks much! 🙏

[@v1ken]

i have multiple input sources (computer, instruments, mobile, gaming consoles, buddies instrument/jam sessions) that i want to just to playback and/or record once in a while all hooked up to a mixer then out to monitors, do i need a separate audio interface still? pros cons? cheers

[@JD-ih2io]

This video helped a lot, thanks man! Also, which audio interface would you suggest for a novation sl49 mk3 keyboard and 2 x S-DJ 50x pioneer speakers? Thanks!

[@MYELS_DEEP]

Is there any way for me to run studio monitors thru my soundblasterx g6 audio interface?

[@harold12A]

Hey man, got any videos or insight about Dante or AVB ?

[@kettnercreative]

Not yet.

[@harold12A]

@@kettnercreative ayt. Will be looking forward to one whenever you’re able to put out a video

[@kqharvey]

If you’re using monitors while recording, doesn’t the sound from the studio monitors feed back into the microphone?

[@JohnWick-tc8hc]
