    You have some of the best videos I've ever seen. I love how you explain both the pros and the cons so well on so many of your reviews. Instead of down talking or up playing products, you just explain what they do and don't do and what their price point is. One of the best channels for this stuff on KZread.

    Thank you so much for this. This is the only video I've seen that really takes the time to explain what this product is. Most videos try to explain how it works and how to use it asuming that you already know everything about recording or sound editing. So, thank you, truly, I really didn't know much about these topics and you've helped me a lot!

    Hey Mike! I want to thank you for taking time out of your days to put up these videos. For the past 3 months, I've been watching yours & other VA's videos & participating in webinars, because I wanted to start off putting my professional foot forward. After watching this video, I found this interface in a nice bundle on Amazon. It came with a pretty decent condenser mic, and everything a beginner needs to start recording. After watching your soundproofing vids and listening to all your advice, I just landed my very first VO job (which was also my first self-produced audition) and got raves about my audition. I'm a vocalist and actor, so doing audio editing is a whole new world for me. I'm so grateful for you and other experienced VA's who are out there, giving great advice on how to be successful in this business. 🙂

    FINALLY!!!! Thanks to your information i figured out my latency issues. I'm trying to make my own home studio, and i was experiencing Latency in my recording. (very frustrating). After about, 2 days of solid downloading drivers and optimizing my Hardware, My issue, was this; I was trying to use Direct monitoring, but i still was getting delay. This was because My Computer was listening to my recording device, (Condenser mic, connected to my Scarlett Solo) I disabled listening to this Device, I turned up my gain, (because i actually wasn't able to hear myself through the Scarlett Solo) I turned on Direct monitoring, and now i have clean audio with 0ms delay. Thank you.

    Excellent video sir. Well thought out & easy on the ears. I'm assuming you've been getting nice voice-over gigs. At least I hope so. Fantastic "timbre" & resonance in your speaking voice. I often have many clients, when I'm explaining exactly what/how you've explained in this video, let's say an "over-the-phone" scenario... I explain to them how to set up monitors on the interface. More often than not I get the "monitor?" question. I have to be specific & say, your home-studio "speaker" monitors, not video. 😉 Wondered if you've ever had those as well. I'm assuming with the video, it's fairly straight forward as to which "monitors" you're referring to. Hey, I LOVE your taste in microphones as well. I'm use various RODE mics too for certain projects & discovered the RODE NT-1000 to be the most versatile mic I've ever used for under $500.00... 😉 Nonetheless, I ramble far too much. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Extremely informative & easy on the ears! 😉 💜 🍀 👻 🎶

    Big fan of this device. Though i find I have to boost it in post. This is mainly being due to my gain control, I found I was clipping a lot so found it easier just to boost in post. Though a positive here is that there is literally no noise floor on this device. It's silent. So once boosted it still sounds good! I had to resort to this following my internal sound card not playing ball with AMD mobo's which was a bit of a pain considering I loved the warmth the internal sound card gave off. Great video as always!

    Went from a Line6 Ux2, ended up becoming a paperweight within 6 months. This interface however, far superior in every way and far less hassle. It is rather sensitive to voltage fluctuations in your USB ports, so careful there. Gain is a little low for dynamic microphones, but overall top quality for what I paid.

    That was one great video! I have the first gen Scarlett 2i2, and love how easy it is to operate. I did, however, have to learn the difference between headphone volume and the input levels...ha ha ha...amateur mistake. Thanks for the explanation about “Line” vs “Inst.” I did not know that 48V Phantom Power was not delivered through the 1/4-inch (guitar) inputs. I will definitely Subscribe after I write this, so I can’t look to see if you’ve already covered the “CloudLifter” series of inline mic activators. I use an AEA R84 passive ribbon mic with the CloudLifter CL-1 with GREAT results. Before, I had to turn up the gain for this wonderful mic so much that hiss was introduced into my final sound. Because the CloudLifter provides an additional 20 to 25dB of ultra-clean JFET gain, I can now turn the input levels on my PreSonus Studio Channel and my Scarlett 2i2 way down-zero perceptible hiss now. I am about to order the AEA N22 active ribbon mic to record guitar (both electric and acoustic). While I don’t do voiceovers, your explanations are very helpful to me...thanks again!
