[@ParkerCharlesGabriel]

What are the clear differences between the Focus Rite Scarlett and the Volt 276? I am looking to upgrade 🧐

[@nickdual]

you know what I'm saying ?

[@Dante-qf9yd]

This is an amazing example that he did. The only one who did this comparison in English. He also has a couple of dope songs posted. Thanks for answering our questions.

Thanks for watching gang 💪🏽💪🏽

[@jaimecomamala1561]

Mate Volt was in the checkout basket but after this video... there's no doubt, going for the twin. Great video, thank you!

[@pentleyholmes]

Agreed

[@intouch8789]

Would have loved a sound comparison, thanks for the info. I'll have to upgrade to a Twin some day.

[@kristatortora6047]

Thank you so much for this comparison! My main use is for voiceover recording, but I also do music. The detail you’re talking about on the monitoring is so important. Really appreciate your video and the way you explain things. Liked and subscribed! 🙌

[@30killabeatz]

Glad I was able to help you! Thanks so much for watching 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@wulfgangaudio]

Thanks! That helped me a lot! 😎😎🤗 only thing: cut the audio for the video at 0 or let them cuts fade into each other as it clicks with my headphones.

[@KaSo.views1]

I have the universal audio volt 2 but im looking to upgrade from the $100 into the Apollo they say for home studios it can be a “standard “

[@GodlyWork-p3q]

Sir i learned so much from you the last two days, smh i wish before i got shot i would have sat and learned this but im greatful im here and can learn it now. Peace and blessings to you and yours sir thanks for the videos

I don’t even comment on KZbin videos at all, but this was a great review!!!!! Very detailed, insightful, and straight to the point…solid.

[@30killabeatz]

Thanks for watching man I appreciate your support 💪🏽💪🏽

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

Not sure if the cutting between clips sound is something you are going for but I am hearing a lot of sharp waveforms from the cuts, if you fad to audio to 0 in and out just before and just after the cut it removes the waveform spike you are basically making a sqaure wave click every time you cut and don't smooth the audio around the cut. It is a little distracting.

[@Trioptic3D]

I have and use my Apollo Twin but I'm thinking about the Volt 276 but do I need it 🤔 I use my Twin with my laptop home setup I was thinking about getting the Volt for my on the go setup because it is class compliant with the MPC standalone units.

[@bettlergott]

I want the apollo with volt optics !

[@matthewdemetree6743]

Would the Apollo improve my sound to my studio monitors from my dj controller ?

[@ronnyskaar3737]

Great comparison. Now I have decided. It was what I had planned allready. Thanks my friend!

[@30killabeatz]

Glad I was able to help! Thanks for watching ! 💪🏽💪🏽

[@mostwett]

I have both just to record on the go and I use the other while at home. Butte do you think its a difference when tracking vocals ?

[@mikefishmusic]

Right on thank you man. I just bought the Apollo solo with hella free plugins and I’m having second guesses/cold feet about getting rid of my volt 276. On the volt the compressor and preamp button are lovely! But then I got hella plugins for the solo. I think I’m also… just dreading on how to figure out how to use the new plugins w my daw. Just ranting here. Lol but thanks for the vid.

Nice man! Are you in windows or Mac?

You have any luck with them plugins and did you return the volt

[@KaSo.views1]

Great vid man

[@lcdavis6236]

Yeah I just got mine about a mounts ago and it’s awesome for real a game changer for me ..

[@pchristopher99]

the difference in the headphone amps alone means i will stick with my Twin, thx for the informative video

[@deandrebuchanan4203]

I have the twin x, levels ahead with clarity, I agree 100%. If just recording vocals at home get the volt anything more extensive like mastering and mixing twin x is needed.

[@yungbevvo]

No it’s not lol stop making up stuff man

[@paudionpar7358]

facts

[@mikefishmusic]

Hell yeah man. Thank you for the info. What about the twin x compared to the Apollo solo? Are you able to get similar quality w that at a lower cost?

[@BuzzAdven]

The biggest difference between these is you can use the Twin x for live use. Want live smooth autotune with good compression on your vocals? It does it, and does it very well.

[@waltherwaa1750]

Does volt 1 require cloudlifter with Shure sm7b?

[@30killabeatz]

I will do a test on that gang. Coming soon. Thanks for watching. ✊🏽

[@waltherwaa1750]

Please do.🙏

[@sjofelumsk]

Question: I've got the Volt 176 and rotating the monitor knob on top doesn't seem to lower or increase my mic monitoring levels. Isn't it supposed to do just that?

[@cityrecordsllc972]

Turn ur 48 volt phantom power own

[@ogcat379]

Спасибо дружище. Хоть и через переводчик, но суть ты донес. 🙏🏼 у нас в Русском ютубе никто об этом так и не сказал. А мне нужно было понять, будет ли звук детальней чем на scarlett или нет. Будь здоров. Мир 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@J_Murcc]

I gotta check that 1076 preamp out lol..cool vid love the apollos

[@30killabeatz]

You should man! Thanks for watching!

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

yeah, i agree on the apollo stuff. The quality is unmatched. The sound is clearly different from other interfaces. I don't have volt only apollo .. but ... I feel like the volt will get the starter peeps by. The input compressor & vintage thing will likely be a game changer for people who don't have hardware gear. Good vid btw

[@Slipsch]

I got the volt 176 for my zoom calls ._.

[@creativegreatsvisuals]

you think the volt 276 is good for those who don't have hardware gear and why ?

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

​@@creativegreatsvisualsThe short is > caz mics need compressors. Life sux without. Many other sources benefit too. I run YT through it caz people suck with their volume levels. some vids r quiet and some stupid loud =SOO annoying. I dont have a 276, but I will say that having a compressor on the way in is pretty much a must for mics. I record a LOT and I always record the proper dynamic range as the dry signal. if every track you record needs a plugin compressor that is a lot of wasted cpu. Plus, the 1176 is a bit different than a bog standard compressor. its got a special thing. once you start using it, you'll never go back. Basically, it controls the volume, keeps it steady so you can mix. without it there is a lot of work to do. just record it on the way in. the levels will just sound right. You'll probably recognize the sound of it on other records as well. you'll say "oh, that is what that is!"

[@SoComposed]

THANK YOU. This is exactly the info I was looking for. Also, there is a little 'click' noise between each of your video clips. I wonder what that's from...

I have The Solo Tb3. Is the Twin x better? Same Driver?

[@ELIAHOficial]

bro, I have a cruel question, I have an apollo twin and I use it with the windows system, unfortunately I have latency from some plugins on this system and that's why I thought about buying a volt because it comes with usb while Apollo comes with thanderbolth. the question is: can i use the plugins i already have for apollo with volt? thank you 🙏🏻

[@30killabeatz]

No you need a ua satellite for most of there plugins but they are trying to help by offering UAD spark which you can use with the volt. Thanks for watching!

[@ELIAHOficial]

@@30killabeatz thanks man

[@AlecDeanBoeschen]

So what would you recommend between the UAD Apollo Solo and the Volt 276?

[@30killabeatz]

The solo if you have Mac. If you have windows go volt

[@robertdurhammusic]

Can you use uad plugins with the volt now that uad have made the plugins free from hardware and go by how much your computer can handle.

[@30killabeatz]

You can only use the spark plugins from uad. They have some good options on sparks just not all the plugins

[@Lance4123]

I have a focusrite solo. I need an upgrade. I'm on the fence between the 2. I may go with the ua volt and buy a mic with the change. Or should I just get the twin?

[@kaptainbambino]

Get the twin

[@anonbrowsing8848]

Very good video! I like this comparison. I’m getting volt soon for myself but the studio I work at uses Apollo interfaces so just wanted to see a comparison. Also I noticed throughout your video there were a lot of edits in your speech which isn’t a problem but I get like I was hearing a pop everytime it would cut to an edit so using some fades on your edits could help keep the audio smooth for audiences. Keep up the good work! 💯

[@30killabeatz]

Thanks for watching gang! 💪🏽 yea it was my noise gate which was recorded and Razer blade laptop fan and couldn't be edited out but won't have that problem again thanks to the m1 pro MacBook!

[@Linay]

Which one would you suggest for a vocalist?

[@30killabeatz]

Definitely, the twin X. Thanks for watching.

[@Linay]

@@30killabeatz do you think I should get the Volt for flexibility and then the Apollo later or do you think I should just straight up go for the Apollo. I have a scarlett 2i2 but it's still a 1/2nd gen (so the gain is not that great)

[@Linay]

Also, do I need to buy an extra preamp with the Apollo. Sorry for all the questions. This is the most helpful video I've found. Tryna make the right buying decision!

[@MNmusic2024]

Are a winndows user or mac 🤔?? I just bought the volt 176 and it has some pops and clicks and I searched the internet, I found also twin x has pops and clicks in windows

[@30killabeatz]

I was a windows user at the time of this video but now I’m a Mac user. I didn’t hear any pops and clicks on the volt but on the twin x yea but never in pro tools. Sometimes it comes here and there but after awhile it goes away. On windows On Mac never heard any clicks.

[@creativegreats6924]

What about the twin dou 2? How does this compare to these two .I'm only recording vocals with protools and a MacBook pro

Very good review. What do you think of twin x for edm where I'm barely recording any vocals.

[@angiesuricata]

Hi, is it possible to record with a condenser and dynamic mic at the same time?

[@30killabeatz]

Yes just have at least 2 inputs on your interface.

[@mpbootcamp7009]

The UA only has one phantom power button so it will be on for both but modern dynamic mics will ignore the phantom power

[@sapphireblue6]

Is there any big difference between the volt 1 and the 176?

[@mickimockymo]

Thanks for the video.. I’m torn on which one to buy.. One comment for you though.. In the video you mention early on that the X isn’t much better on the stats.. But every other word you’re saying it’s way better.. Frequencies, way better on the X, but compared to the Volt, it’s not by much.. Confusing..

[@30killabeatz]

The specs may say what they say but over all the x is better. The mic preamp sounds similar but not the same. That’s what I mean by not that much. But after that the x is better in every other way.

[@witnessesstudioshouston4487]

I finally afters years got a U-87 it’s more then I though it would be. It reacts to you. It a instrument. You don’t just in to it. It’s singing with you.😅 any way. I have the volt 276- but I am thinking i am killing the sound of the U -87 I have stuff to trade get the twin x. But my wife said I can’t buy nothing for 3- months 😂. But Jesus can come by then. Just let me know am I missing out. By not having the twin x .by sound only

No UAD is not the best here is why. They are the only company that does this scandalous stuff. Here is the big problem. How to hide the plugins you do not own inside your DAW? I own the ultimate and I will never buy another UAD plug-in until they fix this. The ultimate only covers less than half of the UAD plugins and the frustration level is beyond belief. I had tech support recommend that I go through my plug-in managers and make the ones I do not own not show up! This took a couple hours because the names do not show up correctly! This company does this on purpose and this does not make your life any easier when you update the software you have to do it all over again!
