Fantastic demo. You answered so many questions. Sincerely, very well done.

I love the Volt. I tried out a handful of interfaces before the Volt was released, but have stayed with it and will use it for years. They give you some nice plugins with it too. The Ampeg bass amp is awesome.

this is actually great... smooth

Super fun, thanks for the video! I have the 276, but this makes me want the 476!

Man! You're having toooooo much fun!! 😊

Love to see all this reviews from my phone so when everyone presses a button I just hear everything the same 👍🏻

What a gem of a channel I’ve found!

great video!

The best video about this interface. Very good.

Super cool really enjoyed that

Great overview, thanks for making this. Sounds good to me, Volt on the way. Apollo Twin was more interface than I really needed (and now isn’t compatible with my laptop). This one seems like it will fit my current setup better, and trying to focus more on creating music than plug-in rabbit holes. Cheers

EXCELLENT video... and it's only been the first 2 minutes so far.

Great vid

I've had an LA-610 mkII for years, I can attest to the chocolate nature of those Putnam circuits. The warmth and saturation is silky smooth, the color it brings to the signal is very musical. I use it for everything, tracking twice for stereo. I really should grab a second unit, lol. But this would make a great interface. Catchy tune, now stuck in my head.

I love the 610mkii but the compressor tends to be a little slow on initial transients. Which is a shame because if it compressed the signal evenly for the duration it'd be great.

You have convinced me to get one, and I already own the dip with a hell lot of plug-ins.

Nice

as someone that likes to talk in people's ears over video games as they compliment "wow i could listen to your voice all day," my wet dream recently was to get a 500 series setup and really toy with what processing i could get in real time. i messed up this weekend on my current audio interface, and i thought the headphone output on my scarlett 4i4 went dead (i just foolishly deleted the software playback as i was using it as my DAC for my PC), so i started looking at new interfaces and stumbled into the volt x76 series. Needless to say, I'll be buying the 276 relatively soon as it's exactly something that I want to mess around with. i feel like it's the only "channel strip" style audio interface and i'm all for it.

Sounds very impressive. @Mylar did you put your excellent 'voice over person' voice through it??

You need to use auto duck or side chain compression to ride levels between your music and voice

how is the quality of the preamps and converter on the volt? compared to other budget interfaces?

your voice sounds so much like a (top) producer i know. nice vid thanks

Hi dude, sounds very interesting and sophisticated too😅😅

what about latency when loaded with plugins?

Hello and thanks for this presentation ! Mylar mentioned you could use the outputs of the interface for sending CV and controlling analog/eurorack gear. So can the 4 line outputs be used individually for sending gates, lfos, envelopes etc, or are they linked in pairs ?

Can you print your mixes using the vintage drive and the compressor? It would honestly be great do be able to do that, hell I might even consider getting rid of my outboard preamp and VLA comp if i could do that ….

Greetings to all! Tell me please, volt476p + MacM1 + Logic, is it possible to somehow set up separate mixes for different outputs in this card? Inside a DAW or something else? I need it for performances. So that the DAW tracks I have defined go to the "Digital Audio Console" in one input, and other tracks in another.

@Liftedgocrazy

this is an interface no sound card, if you are using a daw live i believe you would set your outputs through there. The volt 476 has 4 outputs which idk if you could route 4 mono tracks seperately through the outputs or if the daw would recognize them as 1/2 & 3/4 but my initial thoughts are you can either run 4 mono outputs if your lucky or 2 stereo outputs & then the rest is in the routing id assume. I use fl studio mainly but i know on my mixer channel i can set the output for each individual channel so id assume you could assign each channel to a separate output on logic or whatever your live daw is.

Love the video and I did get the 176 but could you turn the background music down please 👍

I was also considering an upgrade to the volt 476 thinking that it combines both good sound quality and all these analogue goodies that seem to be worth the extra $. However, your video exceeded my expectations. The UI basically transformed your track by breathing life into the vsts and characeter into the hardware synths and the result was really beautiful and natural sounding. Hats off! Did you notice any latancy issues (the specs don't seem too good on that one) and do you think it would be too daring to use the compressor for bus compression or mastering?

@@cqab Get a TRS cable like you would for a studio monitor speaker should be the same male input on both sides... you plug the cable in the output of the interface as if you were hooking up to a speaker but you just (loop it) connect it into the mic / line input on the interface. At this point any audio coming out of the interface (monitoring) the big knob on the 276 (the headphones volume knob wont affect the Monitor output which will be the signal that the input is receiving. (take note of this as you watch your input level you adjust the preamp gain / monitor output & or adjust the volume / effect before you "loop it" to make sure you have ideal volume set. Just make sure when you do this you dont run the Directmonitoring on the interface / have the channel muted that the mic input will be on and you understand how your monitoring works on your daw because when you have this "loop" going on it will be interference to the max LOL ive done it a couple times luckily i keep limiters / clippers set to save my ears. Hope that gets you in the right direction and if this didnt explain enough for you to understand a quick google search as to how to (loop) the output into the input on an audio interface will find what you need easily.

watched several videos and have a 476 myself, can't hear any difference with 'vintage' Also, curious, what is the real advantage of having the compressor vs just using a compressor plugin. It's a bit puzzling since they give you so much software to do everything else, the compressor and vintage mode are mild in comparison to software effects.

@Gear4musicSynthsTech

Жыл бұрын

The difference is subtle so that it's never damaging, although we hope the compounded effect is clearer at the end of the video when you hear multiple tracks with/without! You can absolutely record without the effect applied and add similar things with plugins, though it must be said that what's in the 476 and others are analogue circuits rather than DSP, thematically similar to recording through a nice analogue hardware preamp and compressor - which you may well do if you owned them. The advantage is ease of use (just set and forget), getting a more pleasing sound at the source so you have less to do in the edit, and the interfaces are kept affordable.

I’ve been kinda into Dead Wax for general music conversations. The Make Noise channel has some great modular content, too.

Yes it's subtle! But the difference is more obvious when every track is recorded through it, vs not. It's about having a little bit of colour rather than totally overdoing the sound, sort of like a filter on Instagram, but just applied a little. And these are truly analogue processors rather than virtual effects.

You’re just clipping the converter when you push it….

yea but was the volt designed to sound all muddied and muffled like that just to highlight the 76 compressor and vintage features? If you ran this same test on something like a focusrite scarlett 4i4, would it sound similar to the volt 476 without the vintage and compressor mode active?

Great question! In comparison charts, Audient iD MKII series and Motu M4 looks to smoke the Volt on sound quality alone...

Hi, some of the specific personal experience I've had with this VOLT and my new WORK STATION PC3K8: 1) I can't load SOFT BONDEL, the system won't recognize my PIN and IUSER ID. I just get empty and stupid E-Mails from UA that urge me to be patient... This is exactly why I had to turn to CAKEWALK. And then surprises awaited me! I connected my Work Station via AUX to both universal inputs and via USB to the PC. Result: You can even record MIDI, but you can listen to AUDIO, but you can’t record: only noises and a stupid metronome (with distortion) go. MIDI quality is also low. I'm not getting high yet, but just wasting time looking for problems and waiting for a response from UA.🧷
