Not important to watch the whole video. Ranking of videos is highly correlated to total watch time. So, if people watch 20 minutes of 1 hour video that is gonna be considered more beneficial for that channel compared to when somebody watches an entire 10 minute video and then doesn't click to any other videos of the same channel.

I'm currently looking to get a home studio going and am trying to learn about the various interfaces available. Your review is hands-down the most objective and most professionally done.

[@inthemix]

Fantastic review! The only common issue I know (happened to me and many others) is that the preamps start clean but get noisy and sound bad after a few months. I hope they fixed that with the gen 3! Also, have they fixed the drivers on windows? They used to make windows machines crash like crazy but work well on Mac in my experience.

[@Podcastage]

I have heard people complain about the drivers and I’ve heard them in discord voice chats, but I have never been able to recreate them on my end. They are releasing new drivers, and also I hope they’ve resolved that issue with the preamps going bad after a few months. This is the first I’ve actually heard about that issue.

[@inthemix]

Yeah I've noticed the drivers are hit and miss. Some people have an a amazing experience and others not so much! But once again, this review was amazing, can't believe how much detail you went into. Really excellent all around :)

Those sampling rates are fantastic! For Linux users, the 3G is specifically recommended. Very simply put if you're a musician, Focusrite is an excellent value. The dual combo XLR inputs, the metal casing and the sampling rates are deal closers for me. Thanks for an excellent review.

[@travsmac]

Awesome! When you said on the podcast that there was something going to be announced on Tuesday, I wondered if it was going to be a new mic. Nope! Saw the email from Sweetwater, and came right here to watch the review. Nice surprise! Thanks!

[@EposVox]

I wonder if they fixed the DPC driver latency/buffering/stall-out issues on Windows :/

[@CaillouLP]

They did over a year ago.

[@joshuahill6505]

After weeks of messing around, I found that I couldn't consistently get useable audio out of this interface into my Windows 10 laptop (which has only USB3 ports). I experienced some sort of buffering issue that resulted in digital crackle. l could sometimes adjust the buffering to get it to work without digital crackle, but a specific buffer size didn't consistently work. I now have a different interface that works just fine. I suspect that Focusrite still has Windows driver issues.

So.... what's the deal with this resurgence of the Shure SM-7B? I had one of those like 25 years ago. While impressive looking, I found it sounds about the the same as the SM-58, which is $350 cheaper. Now, I only do voiceovers so once I got into the world of studio condensers like the AKG-414, the Senn-416 and the Neumans, I ditched all those dynamic mics. Now those SM-7's are starting to show up in studios again. Is this some sort of Hip-Hop thing? Not gettin' it.

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

Good to know, it might be quite different compared to the Arch world (i.e. AUR/Arch repos) but what driver (if any) did you install?

[@willmorrison1022]

@@MaximilianBerkmann No driver was necessary. Both ALSA and Jack see it straight out of the box. In Qjackctl setup, look under the "advanced" tab where it shows input and output hardware, you will find it in there, listed by port and name. Once chosen, it comes up on the display as "HW:USB", I believe. No idea about arch, I have been using Linux since 1990 but haven't got the balls to try it yet. This does, though, work in both Ubuntu Studio and AVL Linux.

[@Rybellious]

God dammit, I just recently got a Solo 2nd gen for Christmas and they turn around and release the 3rd gen a few months later. DAMMIT

[@TriWaZe]

Rybellious Welcome to technology. You can wait until the cows come home for the best time to buy one and then finally just give in and bam they release a new one. It really sucks. I tripped over my first gen after just a few weeks of using it and ended up buying a gen 2 cause they wanted like 40 bucks to repair it. There was a decent asthetic improvement that I appreciated but the features didnt improve much. Now im seeing this and part of me wants it because it looks even more premium but mostly for that air setting. But im not wasting any more money when this one works just fine.

[@Andrey.Balandin]

I had my 2i2 2nd Gen since last year, and I'm pretty happy and not looking forward to upgrading. The Air preamp circuit and stereo monitoring don't do anything for me. What would really have made me crave upgrading is internal audio loopback, but unfortunately Focusrong reserved this feature to more expensive models only... I would have loved to have the simplicity to record samples from youtube and Google Play Music straight into DAW for slowing down, transcribing and learning by ear. I would have loved to process the mic sound in my daw live and send it to a voice chat. But no, I can't. So, DAMMIT, I second your 'DAMMIT'! (but for a totally different reason).

[@vishalsnayak]

Dont bother much about that... You can make equally good quality music with gen 2

I like that air circuit. (Did it add to the self noise at all?) Could even hear the difference through my phone speaker. Seems like a great value too. Great review.

[@Podcastage]

Yeah. During the noise floor test, I press the air button and you can hear a slight increase in the noise.

[@AndrewCCM]

To be “clear”, it’s not actually a “circuit”. It’s a digitally modeled based on their higher end units/circuits.

Have to hand it to you, best review out there! You really do your homework! I bought this Focusrite 2 days ago and it will be arriving on Wednesday! I am excited, I am going to use it for facebook live. I will singing in an AT2020. Which, you also reviewed:)

Greetings “Earthlings”? Wut? You trying to say you’re some kinda alien?!

[@kakairecharles3474]

Wow! this is exactly the info I have been looking for. Thank you for the wonderful explanation.

[@sirnigelcogs]

Considering it looks like this is basically just a 2i2 2nd gen with just a few tweaks and new features, the good news for anyone shopping for a new interface is the 2nd gen units should go on sale so if they were looking at a 2i2, they might be able to get one for cheaper.

How has anyone given this a thumbs down? I really want to know what they were looking for that you didn’t cover Bandrew. Maybe didn’t like your glasses?

Would this device allow an xlr mic to output to both a pc and a ps4 at the same time?

[@DukeFavre]

Love how you add pros and cons. Nice video man

[@webingerphoto49]

Thank you for your excellent video. During the COVID-19 situation...I’ve been in the “home” studio. Just ordered the Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen. Again thanks for your explaining this interface!

Came for the review liked for the riffs! got a new sub buddy!

[@Podcastage]

Thanks so much Danny. Appreciate that very much!

Really good review, very nicely done, especially the pre warning that audio is about to get loud again after the noise floor test. thanks

[@edgarbenjoseph3879]

I was having issues with my focusrite. I was shopping for a new one but instead, decided to buy XLR cables with a male end to plug in my guitar and microphone, instead of the jack end. Thank God, it fixed my issues and I saved 150-250$ lol

Yo!! 7:47 in this vid was SWEET!!! Keep Rockin' It!! Oh... and the review was helpful too!!
