    Nice. I actually recorded the air as my room-tone and laid it on a separate track for when I have dead air. Really helpful for audiobooks.

    Would running a mic through a PreSonus Tube Pre into the Scarlett sound better than using just the Scarlett preamps with the air button? I'm trying to figure out which interface to get and it's between the Scarlett 2i2 and the Audiobox 96. I'm leaning toward the Scarlett after watching another one of your videos. I already have the Tube Pre and I'd really like to be able to use it.

    How do I separate outputs? I use a Focusrite Solo as interface. My Presonus Eris, Aston Mic and DT990s are all connected there. When recording, I use the DT990s to monitor my vocals while listening to the beat. Then, I would like to switch the audio output to my Presonus Eris so that I can hear it in actual space. How can I do this without plugging things in and out? What am I missing here? Pls help :))

  • @Lamasta201

    okay so this may sound dumb but since you explained the high frequency boost with air on, is there a chance that could be why every recording ive done has this god awful hiss in it ive tried to just use edison and take it out but even then it manages to either make it louder or make my vocals muddy after trying to remove the hiss?

    Hello, sorry to go in on this video, I'm wondering if you have some advice. I currently have a GoXLR with an m57 for streaming and content. I'm wanting to reduce active desk space on my desk and see if there are any mixers with more than the 4 channels the goxlr has. Thanks, hopefully hear some professional advice soon

    You should always use 48v, your NT1 won't work without it. Air is completely subjective. Some people like it, others hate it.

    The air button is simply an EQ Profile with some analog emulation. It has nothing to do with wether or not your microphone "works".
