    Very informative channel. I have a question, if you were spending your own money then which interface would you get between the scarlett 2i2 4th gen and the motu m2 for recording songs. I am pulling my hair out trying to decide between the two. Also how important and useful is the autotune software which comes with the 2i2.

    Thanks a lot for the simple explanation. My wife and I would like to record our respective bass and electric guitar while playing along with a backing track playing on my computer. The bass and guitar use input 1+2 but how do I record the backing track that is playing on my computer (where my focusrite is connected to)?

    Question: Does the 4th Gen 2i2 phantom power button "remember" the "on" position when power cycled? I have the 2nd Gen, and since it's a spring loaded button, it "remembers" my setting for my Input 2 which always has my condenser mic. Asking in case I look to upgrade.

    Good question. I haven’t paid attention to that so I’m not sure.

    So the thing that cost me the most time, was interfaces not working reliable when sampling rate and bit rate where set differently for different input and outputs. Both my arturia and Behringer interface were dropping then.

    I never choose my audio interface as the system sound (KZread, Spotify, etc) output in my studio PC. I rather just use regular audio outputs of the PC and connect it to mixing desk's tape return or similar. That's an old habit from 1990's when Windows could change the sampling rate of the interface when playing system, sounds.

    You might need a 1/8” to 1/4” headphone adapter, but yes. Most wired headphones will work.
