    Agreed. He's actually a great representation in human form of what quality German Engineering looks & acts like; Simple yet thorough/quality, precise & ACCURATE...all while keeping ego out of the equation. Results speak for themselves. Taught me & no doubt many more A LOT without coloring or obstructing the process with any & all of the ultra-annoying, way too common wasteful fluff & opinion KZread is SO over-loaded with. LOL Just stating as I see and have experienced it watching & learning from his videos. Quite gratefully at that I will add:)

    Extremely useful - as always. It's so nice you take the time to explain the topics in detail and don't gloss over basics. I've worked with music (as a hobbyist) for 20 years and I find that there are so many basics that you never take the time to set up correctly. I found that my right monitor had different EQ and volume setting and the tip about adjusting the volume was a game changer. Now most of the amplification comes from my audio interface, and not the speakers - which has audibly reduced the noise. So good!

    Julian you are one of the only fully objective channels on youtube Superb work, keep it up, but two suggestions; 01. A frequency response graph of the interfaces 02. An phase canceled, original input audio vs preamps input, to see if the system does change the audio in other ways other than frequamcy and resonance.

    Good morning. Loved watching your video but being of weak knowledge in this subject I couldn't fully understand. It was very informative for me to hear you describe how to set up the volume levels on the monitors and interface. I would like to know whether this will affect the volume of my recording because I have a very low voice and have to set up the gain levels of the input quite high to have a 'decent' recording that has to be given effects for pushing up the volume further. In case you have any other video describing how to set the gain of the input source in relation to the monitoring volumes, I'd be glad to watch them. Thanks for this video that will help me do better recording:). Have a nice day. Regards Dr. Somanna

    good and helpful video :D i'm in the process of purchasing an audio interface for recording voice overs and i wondered which cables to buy for my small studio monitors, which i already have (they're running atm with a 3,5 mm to 2x6,35 mm cable directly from my mainboard soundcard). This prevented me from buying the TS cables and maybe having some problems setting everything up (maybe shorting the outputs).

    Very informative video, thanks for the effort you put into making it Julian! I'm new to using specialized audio equipment, and was hoping you could help me solve an issue I have regardoing connecting my bose companion 20 speakers to a motu m2 interface. The companion 20 have only one 3.5mm input on the speakers, and since I want to be able to connect my headphones to the interface at the same time, I wanted to use either of the outputs at the back to connect the speakers. Which would be the better choice in your opinion? After some research I've found that I could use either a 3.5mm male to dual male RCA cable, or a 3.5mm male to dual TS mono cable. I believe RCA is stereo but unbalanced and the TRS 1/4" outputs for the m2 are balanced, and I was not sure about using unbalanced mono TS cables here either. I would really appreciate your expertise in this matter, thank you in advance!
