    I’m using a new Focusrite 2i2 third gen, I’m using a Rode NT 1 Rode as well. I record a Martin D 42 ,very loud acoustic ,and do vocals on NT 1 as well. From the second I plugged the mic in the gain control went immediately to yellow ,and it wasn’t even at 9:00 position , in other words hardly any signal being picked up, but it sounded great when I had it at 12:00 was just loud enough with no distortion or feedback. There must be something wrong with the fosusrite. I recorded four tracks ,all were clean. Why is the 2i2 only showing yellow all the way through the spectrum of the gain ( volume ) control. No green on either input. Here is how I have it set up, as I only record with condenser mics, only acoustic guitar,and voice . I mention that as I don’t use a hub. I’m using an Apple BRAND camera adapter ,hence USB 3- Lightening ports charging the iPad Pro while using the 2i2 is going into the 12 watt charger direct,hence not using the battery in iPad. Worked perfectly on 2i2 second gen … Any thoughts why it would sound great but show clipping all the time, no green ever. Thank Tou.

    Hey. Thanks for sharing. I bought this mic whole kit, and have been using it with focusrite scarlet 2i2 for last 5 years, and using senheiser Headphones for monitoring. I have a strange Noise Problem with this microphone. If I turn the volume up to 50-60%, there is just a lot of noise there. So bad that the recording is not usable. Should I get a preamp? I just have been trying to find the solution for this.. but no idea what to do. How to reduce noise when my input levels are up?

I connected everything correctly, turned on 48V, yet I don't see the green light around the gain knob (or sometimes if I 'punch' on the microphone really hard but I'd prefer to not do that all the time haha). Both focusrite and microphone have been sent back and should both be working perfectly.. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm now thinking about buying another interface/microphone because I'm getting exhausted trying it every day, hahha. so if anyone knows what I should be doing differently or has tips, pls let me know:))

    Hey there! I literally just got the interface - Scarlett focusrite 2i2 - 3rd gen interface with the Rode nt1-a. I’m having a problem though which is incredibly frustrating. I’m getting literally a ‘Wind Noise’ with a mix of noises that sound like thunder and static robotic noises also with the interface and I can’t seem to fix it at all or figure it out. Have you any idea what this problem could be? The Rode mic is working with it but not as it should because I’m getting those awful noises with my interface and it’s passing the problem onto the mic too because of it. It’s literally so frustrating not being able to figure or fix it. Now I do have an older MacBook- I have a mid 2012 one with MacOS Catalina with update 10.15.7 and I’m just wondering would the system or update I have be causing this noise or can I rule that out? I’m really struggling to figure this out so anything you know that may be the problem would be very helpful! Thank you! Ps, great video 👍

    Great video. I just tried using my new NT1-A mic with the Scarlett 2i2 and it didn't work properly. Immediately there were wind sounds at any volume. I had to turn it way up to get any sound when recording too. In contrast, my other mic, the audio-technica At2020 worked fine with my same setup. I tried using a different XLR cable for the NT1-A too to no avail. Is it safe to assume I have a defective mic?

    This might be a dumb question, but are you sure that the NT1-A is pointed in the right direction? Commonly when I hear NT1 users complain of room noise or excessive air noise, the mic is backwards.

    Would you happen to have any idea why my mic (Rode NT1-A connected through the Scarlett 2i2 into MacBook Pro on Logic) continuously cuts out/stops working in the middle of recording every 10 minutes or so. I’m not doing anything differently at all, I have everything setup properly as shown in your video, I’ll be in the middle of recording for about 10 minutes and then boom. No more mic input out of nowhere and then I have to restart and mess with everything for 30 minutes. Thank you.

    Please I need help guys! I got a rode nt1a with focusrite 3rd gen, I also have adapter for iphone and a power hub as a gift but now I’m struggling. After I connect everything the focus turned on well but then is not connecting with the microphone. The 48V phantom is not turning on and no green light around the control. So what I’m doing wrong???

    It sounds like the Scarlett 2i2 isn't getting enough power from your Powered USB hub. To be clear, when you're connecting the 2i2 to to your phone you need the powered USB hub to be plugged into your phone (using the official apple camera adapter), the wall (for power), and the scarlett 2i2.

    Well, I think a correction is required for the DIRECT MONITOR switch, it toggles between sending the input audio to your headphone /monitor (stereo will sound on left/ right even if you set this either ways, and that is not the purpose of this). Also if you switch it "OFF" then you can only hear output from the USB-connected computer.

  • @kettnercreative

    @kettnercreative

    The way I describe it in the video is accurate. Here it is explained another way from the manual: Setting the front panel DIRECT MONITOR control to either MONO or STEREO will route your input signals directly to the Scarlett 2i2’s headphone and main monitor outputs. This enables you to hear yourself with zero latency - i.e., in “real time” - along with the computer playback. The input signals to your computer are not affected in any way by this setting. In MONO mode, Inputs 1 and 2 are routed equally to the centre of the stereo image. This is useful when you are recording two separate instruments or an instrument and a vocal, where there is no need for the two signals to be specifically located in the stereo image. In STEREO mode, Input 1 is routed to the left output channel and Input 2 to the right. Use this mode if you are recording something that is inherently stereo in nature. Examples are any situation where two microphones are being used to deliberately capture a stereo image such as a pair of overhead drum mics, a single stereo mic recording an orchestra or other ensemble, or the stereo outputs of an electronic source such as a piano, synthesiser or FX unit.
