Since the succes of the Focusright scartate and becoming one of the most sold audio interface world wide other companies are jumping on the budget train to get a piece of the pie Including Aturia with there under $200 interfaces. The focusright changed the game. Just My opinion.
I purchased it a week ago and need for playing the midi function of my accordion (the bass buttons are modified so I can play a tuba). I purchased it because of the midi in/out … It works very well. The Audio interface in my Homestudio is an Antelope ZenQ, but that has no midi in/out, moreover I don‘t want to take it for mobile purposes. Thanks for your comments on the Volt 1. 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

Great! Thought about just buying this one. But of everything - it was old UA users that talked me into buying an imaginary used Apollos instead. Imaginary, because my budget now is Volt, and I wanted to buy it. Maybe I should buy many volts for my new music studios....
My direct reaction right now is that the sound has a more focused approach in the upper regions. With vintage mood it’s even more of that. Is that more headroom in general? I’ve looked att it for sometime. Maybe I dive into the office and buy it? Just like that??? Yeah! Root 🎶
I use presonus 1824c i need the inputs its not bad. sometimes i do hear like a computer tone doing vocals but if you set input 50% or around seems fine. Thanks for the tips John Mike 🤙😊
John Mike! Good day to you! I really need your help as a specialist, I really need your advice and your help in choosing a midi keyboard for myself, as for a beginner, in a home studio. Please tell me which of these three would you options would advise me more than one, the only one, and that it would be normal and in quality, it also didn’t make much noise, but it was also suitable for playing and recording at the computer, here are these options: 1) Alesis Q49 mk2 ;M-Audio Keystation 49 mk3;Nektar SE61;which of these three budget options do you think would be best for me to create electronic music in the style of Trance and Uplifting Trance, I think you know these styles? Looking forward to hearing from you!
Happy Easter John. I won't buy this device, I am waiting for Arturia MiniFuse 4 (it gives me 2 usb links to connect keyboards, nice if you play live with a MacBookPro). I don't like a vintage mode that I cannot manage on my DAW, same for a 1176 compressor. I prefer to get the full freedom on my project. I told you some months ago that audio boards with DSP have no future: microprocessors like M1 are hugely better. UAD strategy is clear: they are moving to plain boards and offer native subscriptions...
Yea the mini fuse is killing…got a review coming on that one this week…but this unit and the others still have a form of DSP built in with the vintage mode and the 76 compressors…albeit it’s not the traditional dsp like their other units but still is a form of dsp…Focusrite has it built in as well with their “air” mode…but I don’t disagree with you totally…dsp and or forms of it will still be around for years to come…
Volt is basically just another low end device nothing particularly special about it. The built in stuffetc is nothing special that you couldn't do with other cheap plugins. The bundled plugins are okay albeit nothing special.
@@Johnmike It's made by Universal Audio and is called the Volt. Nothing says UAD VOLT, Sir. UAD is referring to the UA's DSP powered plugin eco-sytem. It actually gets confusing now that they don't require DSP to run nowadays.
@@Johnmike it’s all good my brother. Great content still. I actually bought a volt 276 to integrate into my 32 channel RME setup. If you turn direct monitoring on, it’s basically a standalone two channel strip with UA vintage emulation, and compression. I run the mic in’s into my microphone patchbay, and the units outs to the inputs of my RME interfaces. I have been bypassing 1073’s, and other boutique pre-amps and compressors, for this as a quick solution. It’s actually amazing. And it works great as a mobile interface to use with my laptop, and MPC when I’m traveling. Does UA vote, is low-key a game changer if you’re on a budget especially.
I hope you didn't use that interface to record the audio for this video because this audio isn't good man. No harm intended, just wanna encourage you to preach it by example Sir. sound is weak and not crisp. have a great day man, thanks for sharing, but I didnt even finished watching it bc of sound quality.
I absolutely cannot tell the difference between vintage mode on or off. I've used the under $200 interfaces for about ten years and I think they're all basically the same. Except for the PreSonus. That one's really bad.

Just bought it and used your link. Thanks for the review.
God bless you so much for the support! 🙏🏾
Love watching your videos my man. Thanks for helping the people sir!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m not sure I heard a difference with vintage mode… maybe it’s something to be heard better with guitar or bass.
I just got my Volt 2, can't wait to try it out!

I have the Rode Pod mic & the Scarlett 2i2 but I’m gonna get rid of it & just go with the Volt 276 instead of buying the Cloud Lifter
Do you think it's better than the focusrite?
Jury is still out on that…I’m comparing both of them and I will have a video out soon shooting them out…
I use it; it's amazing!!
Does it require cloudlifter with Shure sm7b?
were going to buy one for the birthday
Check out the Volt 276
Thanks!

I’m partial to the M-audio keystation personally
My biggest question is can you run the UA Plug-ins with this unit as you can with the Apollo units???
No. It doesn´t has DSP´s. But UA just start to release the Plug-ins to run on CPU. It´s a subscribed model (SPARK).
(SIDE NOTE) UAD Spark Is Not Available For Window Users Intel Later This Year..
Great video
Thanks!!
I have issues to Register IT .. the Connect App Starts but IT get stuck at the loading Screen ( Windows)
How high can you set the buffer...I have a nap
Hello Mike, any chance of you reviewing Roland A88 MARK II? Thank you!
Yup trying to get my money up so I can get one to do a video on it
Is it better than apollo solo ?? Or they are the same in quality
Same preamps I believe…just no front end processing

That's interesting be nice to get some UA gear price that's not so tall.
Plot Twist: Vintage mode is just an orange LED that lights up but makes no difference to the sound
Unfortunate that it only has one mic/inst input.
You can have more with 276-476 models
@Outside The Octagon with James Semrow its a mono input, yeah?
They do a 2 and a 4 as well
Best interface for the money is behringer xr 18
I was wondering about that. I have a n XR-18 but was wanting to record audio into my iPhone and wasn't sure if XR18 would work for that.
Thats a digital mixer with a high pricetag? Dont even see the comparison
spitfire labs is free anyway ???
I believe so lol
you know what they say a bout folks with two first names.............. 🙄

Maybe it's just me, but it annoys the heck out of me that he keeps calling it UAD.
It’s called the “UAD Volt” 🤷🏾♂️

@@Crysco.mp3 makes sense…I stand corrected…however as you acknowledged it’s hecka confusing considering

@@DRawlinzShow It should be ok. I'd work on cancelling the noisiness somehow though.
