I studied audio engineering in college and I have a lot of knowledge on the information you are teaching. Your videos are clear, concise, easy-to-understand, and most importantly, accurate. I wish I had someone like you when I was just starting out. Today, you taught me about the importance of going from an XLR output into a quarter-inch line level input. I never realized about that before! (I own an USB mixer, so I never worried about this... but it's still important for me to know). Your tutorials are going to help so many young upstart home musicians to make more professional, better quality recordings of their products, as well as sharing some precious gems to even old dogs like myself - which is why I just became a subscriber of your Channel today, and plan on stearing young people to your channel from here on in.

I wanted to let you know, your videos are an extremely valuable teaching tool. I play guitar as a hobby, and mainly just plink around to please myself. A year or so ago when I wanted to get an audio interface, I came across your channel and ended up getting a 4i4 3rd generation. If memory serves, you gave the best description of what an audio interface is, and how to use it, compared to other people I watched. Your videos are interesting, focused, and a pleasure to watch. Thanks for what you do!

New subscriber here. The XLR connection it's definitely the best tip on this video, I also found very pleasant the fact that has more valuable information than other tutorials in a fraction of the time.

Gosh. I've needed this for a long time. The basics of hooking it all up. Much appreciation.

Thank you so much. Very clear and simple. Stay blessed.

very helpful. is there any benefits to the sound quality by doing the 2nd method by doubling pre-amp signals? I have both MultiMix8 usb mixer and also scarlet 2i2 but not combined.. hmm

Thank you so much for all of your tutorials 🙏. I have an audio mixer Q802 and an interface for Focusrite Solo (3rd generation) and am facing some noise issues in both cases if I use a single audio cable TRS to TRS or TS to TS. Could you please advise me on how to connect an unbalanced interface to an unbalanced mixer.

Please consider a video for guitar home live sound that explains the hookup from guitar to preamps to rack mixers to effects units and power amps. I am new to the rack world and am trying to understand parallel vs series hookup with stereo mixers to obtain the best sound at home with TRS vs TS cabling and why. Do you have any recommendations on books that may cover the topic? Thanks!

well and clearly explained only what should you do if your audio interface only has a mic/line 1 input and inst 2 (for instruments) e.g. the u-phoria umc 22 then it is not possible to do left and right when i use a orchestra wants to record with all their equipment at the mixer (without usb) with audio interface is there a solution for that?

Great video! Question: Can i connect the output of mixer to the rear line input of the interface? (Just incase the inputs in front are occupied) Thank you

Great contents as usual, thank you! I have a question: I have two keyboards and a mic connected to the audio interface, the output of which goes to the Ipad via lightining socket. In the IPad I use AUM for mixing the three signals and add virtual effects. My question is, where should I connect the iPhone to record a video/audio, ensuring the audio captured is the same I'm making in the iPad/AUM? Thank you!

Hi really enjoyed you posts on mixing. I like karaoke and have a mixer Studiomaster club 16+ I have tracts saved on my laptop and import them to pcdj software and mix vocals and sound tracks with this I have tried to record video karaoke using my android phone however quality is not what I thought it would be I looked at the Focasrite interface however I dont see how I can merge the video with the sound tracks any ideas please I'm new to this so it's all a learning curve once done I would like to post to my channel on utube😮 kind regards Dave.

Girl I'm smart as a whip but it can be overwhelming figure this sht out..second vid now👍

Will this work for the focusrite solo ?

Can I connect the audio interface through the aux than the main output for recording and livestream ?

Great Video. for electric guitar, do I need connect electric guitar to the mixer ? I was connect electric guitar to audio interface and use guitar rig vst , but sound doesn't come out, I cannot use electric with guitar rig vst . Do I need a mixer ? what's mixer do when connect to audio interface. I'm new produce music. Thank you.

I am just learning and I have the Q802usb and a Focusrite 2i2 - so I was excited to see this, they are both USB - so as i play guitar - how would i plug in the guitar using this hookup method? - it is probably obvious but I am not seeing it - can both be plugged into a computer via USB cables at the same time? I heard you say “Going to treat it as a non-usb mixer” - and if both being used will my DAW or audacity see both and use both usb inputs? Thanks so much for you help and your videos!

Thank you! Nicely explained. Maybe one day do a tutorial on rodecaster pro with a dbx286s in the chain. 😎

I don't understand how do you use virtual amp simulators in this setup because they need to process clean instrument signal. My idea was to connect instrument to audio interface and then to connect output of an audio interface to the line input of a mixer. Can this work?

Do you have to use two independent TRS/TS cables, or do you have to use the cable with two TS/TRS' on both side?

How do I connect it to a behringer umc22 with only one xlr input ?

What is meant by balanced?

My scarlet interface is plugged into the master unbalanced master, Both RCA jacks. TRS and XLR going into interface. Is that acceptable?

There are sometimes when I break this rule by using the mixers XLR out directly to the XLR inputs of the usb sound device. I keep the inputs of the sound device very low but slightly still using its preamp and then I gain stage for mixer and drive the preamps to get an almost saturated sound. Thank you for the video

That's fine, you sound as if you know what you are doing and adjust accordingly 😀. Just pointing out for people very new to this. Many people don't understand how the combi inputs work on many of these kind of interfaces.

Hi, just want some advice. I have a Yamaha MG102 c mixer which I am wanting to plug my Tanglewood Blackbird semi accoustc into to record on my laptop. Which audio interface would you recommend? I am on a budget but don't want to compromise to much on quality. Thanks in advance.

hello im trying to do something very specific. i would like to plug my audiobox96 interface to my mixer. and from my mixer id like to put both my subwoofer, speaker and mic. i already got the speaker, sub and mic all working but when i put the interface in, i get no sound from FL studio. id like to play the mic out loud with my pro mic so i can do live shows.

question: for practice reasons is it possible to monitor the audio produced by the pc itself without actually recording it?

I don't have that brand of mixer, to hear through headphones on my Behringer you need to press the Phones /Ctrl Room switch. However, this does not mute the speakers. So if you only want to hear the headphones, you'll have to turn your speakers off (if the controls are the same as mine)

The only thing I'll point out is I've seen many people use a setup like this, but get don't understand the DAW is only getting 2 tracks (Left & Right). They say I have 4 things plugged into the mixer why aren't they showing up as 4 tracks in my DAW. They don't understand the "Mixed" Left and Right is the only thing going to the audio interface not 4 individual signals. To get all 4 they would need to either use an audio interface with 4 inputs and not use the mixer. Or use a mixer with a built in audio interface that will send all the inputs of the mixer as separately to the DAW. I've seen this popup many times and thought worth mentioning.

I want to use the direct outputs to connect to Behringer umc404hd interface. 4 direct outputs to 4 interface inputs.

Hi there, may I ask you a question? Do you know why when I doing a livestream, all my audience only can hear one side (left side) of the headphone sound? By the way , I am using iRig pro dua I/o interface to connect to my iPad , and my condenser microphone is connected to the iRig pro interface with the XLR CABLE.. please help. Thanks in advance.

Great tutorial just 1 question. If condenser mic is plugged into the mixer with phantom power turned on , do we keep phantom power turned off on the audio interface?

@MusicRepo

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, because the signal coming from your mixer is line level, so phantom power on interface will have no effect anyway. It should only be turned on on the audio interface if you plug in a condenser microphone using XLR. Your condenser mic will be powered by the mixer's phantom power.

Do you have any video that is even more basic than this one? For example, what is "line level"? What are "balanced and unbalanced" cables?

Hi, Can you help please? I'm using a Behringer XENYX 802, (mains - not USB) into a Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD Pre-amp. The Pre-amp has "Line" and "INST" settings, plus a "PAD" button, but I have 2 anomalies compared to your instructions on choosing settings. In order to get a good volume, I need to have "PAD" switched on, (i.e. pushed in,) but when I select "Line," the volume is significantly less than choosing "INST." But irrespective of what setting I choose, when I plug my guitar into either the "MIC" or "LINE IN 3/4" sockets on the XENYX 802, I get a delay - i.e. latency, when recording into "Audacity.". Can you advise what you feel I may be doing wrong, please? Thanks, in anticipation. Alan

So is this how I get 5 vocalist at once on separate tracks?

I'm confused since I have been taught to always record vocals in mono. And I see you are recording in stereo. Please educate me as to why vocals are being recorded in stereo and not mono. Thank you

Unity Gain: When a signal passes through a system or a device without changing level (amplify or attenuate) it is said to be at “Unity Gain”. Unity Gain is fundamental in setting up any audio chain or signal path.
