Question: can one of the channels for mic be set to mono? I would like to use a SM7B for recordings and it would save so much time not having to fix sound coming out of only one channel. Currently using a Solid State Logic SSL2+ and looking for another interfaces.

@weareevoaudio

This would typically be adjusted on the software you are using for recording. In most DAW's you just need to ensure you are recording onto a Mono Track, or in some more simple recording software, you may just need to select a "Mono Audio" setting in the preferences. If you do need any help with this, let us know what software you use.

QUESTION: Can you use both the headphone out, and the main outs, running them to a PA - both at the same time? You mentioned something in the video about muting the main outputs when you plug in the headphones.

@weareevoaudio

No, it's not possible to use both outputs at the same time. The Smart Mute feature will automatically mute the speaker outputs when a set of headphones are plugged in.

I have a quick question. When setting up the smart gain, do I speak into the mic with normal volume or should I speak louder than usual so that it can gauge what level "clips" the audio?

@weareevoaudio

Жыл бұрын

When using Smart Gain, you should try to use the loudest part of the track you are recording so that your inputs won't clip during this passage. Smartgain does leave you some headroom however so it's not the end of the world if your performance is a little louder than the Smartgain listening period.

Hi I am about to purchase this. But had a question. Is the guitar input at the front a separate channel input to the two mic combo inputs on the back?

Its not a separate channel, plugging a jack into the instrument input will override the Mic/Line input on Channel 1.

Can we have an option to toggle if you want the speakers to get muted when you plug in the headphones ? I would rather have both output at the same time.

@weareevoaudio

This is a hardware feature of the device as the outputs are both driven from the same amp and therefore cannot both be active at once.

I have an issue on my Evo 4, when there is mic clipping the interface is not handling it well (only when monitoring is on, about 50% for example), after that it starts buzzing there's a static noise in the headphones output until I unplug and replug the interface to my computer. Its very annoying for streaming for example, only a little plosive clipping and I've got this issue (in the headphones output, even if I unplug the mic it keeps buzzing like a tinnitus). Also I cannot download any software on the ARC website, even thought I already registered my evo 4. I cannot claim anything.

Are you using a 1/4" to 3.5mm headphone adaptor, if so can you ensure that the headphones are fully seated into the adaptor as some have screw threads that can stop the headphones from connecting fully? Also if you have a set of headphones with an inline mic, the TRRS jack can sometimes cause issues so you may need to use a splitter to separate the headphone and mic channels to their own TRS jacks.
