    AMAZING video. So concise and to the point. Not "over-explainy" either. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I do have one question. I don't know if it's been asked because I haven't read all 150+ comments. My only question, why is it/how can i fix the problem of both mics picking up ALL the ambient noise in the room. I was testing in his living room with my buddy and the mics were picking up the AC vent when it kicked on, the fridge when it kicked on, a rush of air. My voice clearly in his mic and vice versa. What could be the issue/fix? We were sitting across from each other, about 2 feet between us. We're using a Scarlett just like the one in the video and both using Mac/Garage Band to record. Thank you for your time.

      The most likely issues are:
      1) Environmental, microphones hearing HVAC or fans in your room
      2) You're pushing the preamp too hard (past 9/10)

    Thanks for the video! I am recording a podcast with a co host, so I need to headphones to come out of the Scarlett. My question is, can I use a regular headphone splitter, like a jack that connects to the scarlett from 1 end and has 2 ports from the other end to plug in the headphone? Or do I need a splitter like the one you are using?

    Hello! Actually I have audio array ai04 interface. So, I tried connecting 2 condenser microphones and record both the mics at the same time. Actually I want to record my drums with both the mics. But the problem is that both the mics are getting mixed in one input. I cannot separate the inputs. I mean in Fl studio in mixer channel 1 I am choosing input 1 and in mixer channel 2 I am choosing input 2. But if I speak in any of the mic both the mixer channels are getting signals.

  • @thehappyhippie3826
    @thehappyhippie3826 Рік тому

    I truly appreciate all content creators who spend time with uploading videos - two thumbs up for them. Really. However, what I notice is that with every video, every comment is about how wonderful they are, how great the video is... etc, which helps the ego, obviously, but does not help to LEARN to get better. I believe constant improvement is the basis of success, so let me just add this: most "how to" video makers presume that the viewer KNOWS what you are talking about, and that they know the software etc. They do not. We are morons. If we were not, we would not need these videos, because we would figure it out on our own. So in this video, you get to the part that "my GarageBand recognizes the Scarlett right away", I am thinking: good for you bud. My GarageBand does not. Now what? You need to assume some of us got GarageBand that does not recognize the Scarlett, and then we get stuck right there - and the rest of the video is basically useless from that point. So what you want to do is "My GarageBand recognizes Scarlett right there, BUT IF your GarageBand does not, here is what you got to do...." I warn all content creators the same: imagine your viewer is an 8 year old boy who wants to learn how to record himself and his grandpa. Now this boy will not know how to get GarageBand to recognize the Scarlett. He needs to learn that. So now he has to go and find another tutorial about GarageBand, and then another one.... and so on. See my point? Cheers

    I do have a question. There was a known issue that I am facing now with 2i4 scarlet 1gen... when I plug in Microphone in the Interface and all than to the Laptop Mac Book Pro / as soon as I connect my Laptop to charging Cabel I can Hear some Interrupting sound waves in my Headphones, which are also recorded to the Audio at the end. This kind of recorded audio is useless in this quality. As soon as I disconnect the Laptop from Power Adapter/ the Interrupting sound is gone and I can record the Audion in decent and nice clear quality. Do you know the way around it - how can I eliminate this interrupting sound which always appears when I connect the Mac book to the Power Adapter. (I need the Laptop to be on the charger, while I can't constantly checking the battery during recording..(cold potentially Power USB Hub solve the problem - try to separate the power)?

    3:40 Just a heads up, when you say "This is a critical step" the viewer cannot see what you're doing because your video is in the way. I just bought a Focusrite 4i4, have 2 Kali speakers, a Shure SM58, & I'm simply trying to hear my microphone in my headphones (unsuccessful up til this point) Downloaded the software and don't know if it's a compatibility issue but ... anyways sacrifice the 2nd video of you so that your viewers can see what you're doing. Silly advice (maybe) but I'm just the guy who can't get his equipment to work the way I want it to, so what do I know lol? Would love a little assistance regardless
