PRO Musician Puts Affordable Interface to the TEST! | Universal Audio Volt 4 & 476P

[@PaulIsbell]

This interface is exciting for stereo capabilities. It’s so awesome to see premium music gear becoming evermore more affordable

[@UniversalAudio]

Thanks Chris for taking the new Volts for a spin!! Glad you enjoyed!

[@iengineer_247]

I've had a volt the clarity on it is amazing. People would debate about it not being able to use it to process the plugins like with the Apollo but hey this unit can still get the job done. I'm liking the 476p especially in my case of doing mobile recording I think this is dope I will have this for a backup interface.

[@carriefingsolomon]

If you see this, what do you mean not being able to process the plugins?

[@lomsiendolom]

great video!

Is good idea to add ssl2+ for agreggate device..so ssl sounds n uad combine for color options

[@TheOnlineBusker]

Dummy question here..... I only see one 48v switch, so they are either all on 48v or all off, right? So using a condenser and dynamic at same time.... how is it possible? The 48v is switched on for all channels and just doesn't affect the channel with dynamic plugged in? (Acoustic guitar with condenser and dynamic for vocals is what I'm thinking...) Thanks for any info!

Superb

[@DamonZenDrummer]

Love my volt 476 amazing sound

[@musicandthewalk]

Would it be possible to request an explanation how the drums were recorded? Just purchased the 476p and would love to learn how to do it.

[@tomwaterman9687]

Hey Don, thanks for asking! First up - Chris Hardwick is really food at tuning his kit, so it sounds good in the room. We played a lot with snare damping, so there are 3 snare sounds. 1 with no damping and an open ring for the jazzy into and middle improv section. One with a "fat snare" ring damper for the main groove and outro and another where we used a "fat snare" damper with tambo shakers in it for a bit of sizzle / brighter tone the half-time breakdown. From there, the drums are RE20 inside the kick with some padding, UA SD-1 on snare top and a narrow spaced pair of UA SP-1 small diaphragm mics on overheads. Narrow so the sound is more mono and punchier. Those 4 channels go to the Volt 476P and we have Vintage and 76 compression engaged on most inputs. The settings are shown in the video and in a small A/B posted by GAK on social media accounts. In the mix, the drums are processed with UAD Spark plug-ins, but I did also take samples of each drum (toms, snare, kick etc), so I could mostly layer toms with close mics on top of the 4-mic recording... effectively giving me more mics and more stereo width in the sample layering. I moved the mics for all individual samples but the same approach is there - 4 inputs total. Most of what you hear is the 4-mic balance plus some layering when needed. It's totally doable with a 4-input interface and a handful of affordable mics. Have fun recording! -T

@@tomwaterman9687 Ill dig deeper on this. Thanks for the info!

[@user-mmm4893]

Hello )) Please tell me if this device has a loopback function? is it possible to record two electric guitars in this device at the same time? ....google translator, sorry)....

[@likeris2]

what those buttons on right side activating? what happening if they are all off on 476p? and can I use it without plug in power?

[@EricLumiereMusic]

who did the fabulous mix?

[@JNovalis]

Chris is a sicko.

[@VedunianCraft]

What I don't understand is, that it's described as a USB powered interface. But it comes with an AC adapter. Can I use this interface with full power on my PC? I'm not a fan of USB powered hardware...

[@againstxcurrent]

AC adapter need only for work with iPad/iPhone

[@VedunianCraft]

@@againstxcurrent Not entirely correct. In the meantime I've found my answers: Power over "only USB" has a limited use of the whole interface. Which makes sense, since this piece of hardware has a lot of features where only 5V from the port simply isn't enough juice. You get the whole experience when you plug into a power supply. In short: it's AC powered interface that works limited in bus power mode.

Hi. I have a question and I would like to know your point of view on the matter, you who are experienced in the matter I have a musical duo made up of Backing Track Voice Keyboard Trumpet We work with iPad Tablet And we bought a Universal Audio Vol 476p Audio INTERFACE and we want to WORK LIVE with it. We connect the trumpet microphone, the keyboard, the Tracks and the voice to a Yamaha mixer, which is the one we work with, so we want to use the volt sound card to work live, but only connected to the mixer , without need to use a computer or a program. Is this possible to do. Thank you very much in advance

[@ahmedalfkeki8013]

I got it today, but I am facing a problem. When I turn up the volume of the headphone to the highest level, the sound card cuts and restarts itself. Is this normal because it is protected from loud sound, or is there a problem?

[@GakCoUk]

I'll be honest, that doesn't sound right - I'd check that out with whoever you bought it from!

[@g.m.1672]

Guys! Do you think I can achieve the same quality guitar recording with the Volt 1? Is it just me, or does this record have no body at all? Don't get me wrong; it's an amazing song and record, but I wanted it to be punchier, and it lacks depth. Maybe it just youtube compression.

[@davidsix8907]

So is the Minimoog included in the bundle? Would probably make my decision easier.

[@tomwaterman9687]

It's in the 30-day included free UAD Spark demo, but part of subscription purchase after the 30-days.

Look, is Ed Sheeran making interface reviews

what an annoying presenter!!! been watching too much top gear...

[@cesmcmyth]

I never want to sound vintage. How people doesn't get it? I listen to recordings of old people like amazing beatles or Jimi Hendrix and the music is great but it sounds freking rubbish because is simple less tech on it. Period. Biggest Gimmik on earth. Maybe, sometimes I do fancy vintage drums. But that's about it. And Maybe
