    If you’re a producer who records a lot of artists, upgrade from UAD when you a chance. If you’re an artist, upgrade when you can. If you’re a producer and not an artist and don’t need a ton of ins, it’s a great audio interface. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

    I loved this episode. They are all great episodes, but sometimes it seems like 1/2 of the episodes are DAW battles, when the DAW is simply only one part of being an "AudioNerd". I like the conversations where you go into the details of using specific programs, or techniques. Just quick thoughts, thank you for all you guys do. Let's go!!!

    RME fireface UFX or Focusrite Clarette (don’t sleep on that) or you can Adat the Clarett Octopre. My tip for LJ. Buy that Behringer Euro rack mixer and plug all your synths into that and then plug the output of the mixer into your audio interface. Or if you want to be elite. Synths > Mixer > Radial JDI passive > Mic Preamp (Focusrite ISA or a dual 1073, BAE maybe) > Audio Interface (Line In)

    It's hard to beat the workflow of the Apollo for Artists who record at home. Autotune and other plugins, unison preamps with virtually no latency. I have the x4 and x6. I also have the Apogee Symphony Desktop which sounds amazing but no Autotune or reverb with direct monitoring. I mix with it sometimes though. I do like the Apollo conversion though. Sounds analog

    Yoooooo Devvon, I didn’t know you had an album out called “Weird Nights 2” ?? I missed the promotion of it somehow. Next time you have an album out yall might have to dedicate a whole episode to promoting it, talking about what instruments/vst’s you used or plugins you used on the mix. I know you were saying you stayed up for days mastering your music, not for sure if this is the album you were mastering, I can’t wait to check it out tho. I found out about it because I was checking for the Album you recorded with the RME interface (Deja Vu vol 2). Also, I know you mess with “Mix with The Masters, do you ever use any of the free plugins that came with the subscription?

    Can I get y’all’s opinion, I use a Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820 interface it has 18 ins/20 outs which is what I’m wanting since I’m a producer/musician/artist, the only thing when I record my vocals I have to crank my gain pretty high to record at the levels I need too, Im looking for something that can add clean gain and give life to my recordings, I don’t have a big budget for a pre amp and compressor but I can definitely save for one or the other, what do you recommend? Also I use an AKG C414b XLS microphone

    First interface I used was an M-Audio Air series (probably the old version whatever it was called). Used it at a live gig. First interface I produced on was the Behringer UM2 the one with the RCA connectors at the back plugged into my church's speakers 😂. First interface I owned was the M-Audio M-Box Duo and upgraded from there to the Presonus Revelator iO24. I don't do a lot of recording so for now any interface could probably do.
