Don't buy these audio interfaces. Get these instead.

The UAD money loop of buying a 500+ dollar interface that runs UAD plugins while they only give you enough plugins to get you hooked. Then you find yourself buying 1000+ in plugins to justify your purchase of a 500+ dollar interface to run those plugins.

when you're talking about focusrite and the camera won't focus right

please take this as constructive criticism. I think the information is lost in the filming style. First, the waiving devices around hurts the viewers eyes. Maybe set up cameras and show the device on a table, slowly moving around it not fast. Pointing at the interface thing you're discussing. Like when you're pointing out the solo microphone controls monitors maybe shoot role showing an example or just show the devices as stationary and you turning the knob. Second, the framing doesn't use half the screen the right side. Also the blurry background combined with the waving hands and device is off putting. my two cents.

I think i just had an aneurysm trying to look at audio intefaces shaking up and down violently out of focus.

What’s with the soft focused writing pad?

I have a NI Komplete Audio 6. My problem is that its headphone slot is somewhat faulty. If you push the jack all the way, it won't have sound, you have to pull it a little bit to have sound. My other bigger problem with it is that i have to re-seat the USB slot every time i power the PC after a complete shutdown. A cousin of mine gave me an ART USB Dual Pre 2-channel Audio Interface / Preamplifier. But i can't find a compatible DC power plug for it yet. I'm curious to know if the ART ai doesn't have the re-seating problem i have with the NI ai? Any help, appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Having your subject matter in focus is rule #1.

nice video! what mic are you using? and are there any post eq effects? if yes, how to make it sound so bassy and deep like yours? any good software recommendations?

What do you recommend for a duo pc (second pc is a mini pc) its just to run my stream and recording. Only has an output audio port?

Apogee duet uses single dial design and always worked pretty well, is this very different from that?

Bro one quick question about the Umc22, the interface have her own limitations regarding the amount of plugins we can use during recording? I ask because i have a really powerful computer and i can't run my complete vocal chain using the UMC22 in highspeed. Like i can't use autotune + compression + delay and reverb togheter without clicks. Even though my cpu is still only at 3%.

Whoa man! Just stumbled upon your microphone video and then this one and I must say I couldn't be more thankful to algo for recommending me your vid. It did help me just about when I needed it. Keep up the good work man 🙌

The Apollo Twin starts at around 1000 Euros and comes with some decent Unison plugins for latency free tracking. I have an Apollo Arrow Thunderbolt version (was even cheaper) with a free plugin package and never bought any additional UA plugin - just added some 3rd party plugins for post production. Works great - no regret.

I wanted to get the apollo solo for my windows laptop which has a thunderbolt port. And i already am using some UA plugins. Im torn between the Apollo solo, Volt 476p and SSL 12. Do the preamps and converters of the solo outperform their volt lineups? SSL sounds so good in all youtube videos. They are all similarly priced here in India. Please help!

Hey, man, love the video! I've been on a crazy search for audio interface for my set up. I'm wanting to plug in my Roland JUNO-DS88 and plug in a microphone and guitar for content creation in the future. I don't know if that's enough information but to you think you could recommend one to me?

Hello, friend, would the Irig HD 2 be a good option for Live Plugins? Or do you recommend anything else? specifically for Guitar. Thanks.

I really like the Universal Audio Volt series that includes the 1176 compressor with the wood looking side panels. Very good sounding interface.

Why doesn't anyone include or talk about the IK axe i/O one in these videos its like they exclude it completely. Is there any particular reason?

Hey man love your video, but I want to ask you. What interface do you recommend for a PC guy who is using it for FPS games? I have a sound blaster DAC and 250 ohms bear-dynamics headphones and a USB -C mic. Any recommendations for gamers?

Great comparison. I've only used 2 interfaces, Mbox 2 with XP using Protools 7.3 and currently with Reaper on a Windows 7 machine, and a Presonus Audio Box USB96 on the Windows 10 computer. My criteria was for midi connectivity and mic/guitar/line input. All have separate volume knobs for headphones, line out (monitors) and line in (guitars etc). That has been a really useful feature. I have found the Mbox can be tweaked to compensate for latency (not bad for a 20 year old interface) while the Presonus cannot (at least to my efforts). I have recently acquired a second Mbox2 as I'm archiving older Protools files from an SSD with XP. The second hand market offers some cheap alternatives, and could be great for those using newish computers with older os and older daws. I would suggest researching what drivers the makers are offering before going this rout. Thanks for the post.
