I wish there were more youtube videos like this.... clear and concise instructions without gimmicks. Excellent
Very useful, thank you 👍🏻 Just got the Focusrite 2i2 gizmo after watching this vid and it works a treat 👌🏻
I love this video and how amazing this guy explains everything. He explained how most of the things work without me even having to look them up while not even meaning to. I love his voice as well. Keep up the good work, I would love to see more videos like this👍

Thanks a lot! This is a really helpful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Bro thank you so much !!!
thumbs up. I;'m not sure why focusrite has only one headphone inlet but maybe its because it's for music. I'm using it for podcasting and the splitter amplifier solves the issue. Thanks again. subscribed!

Thank u Jordan
You're welcome!
Thanks!
thanks great!
You're welcome!
awsome!!!!👍
Love the explanation. Can you tell me more about the headphone splitter works?
Basically it splits and re-amps the signal. Connect it to the headphone output and it will provide you with 4 more headphones outputs with individual volume control.
really good video. What interface do you use for your studio?
Hello! great video! What kind of headphone splitter should u be using? Im having a bit of trouble picking one. I have no idea what im doing
thank you, is it possible to do a similar tutorial for audacity?
live saver!
So helpful! Can I hire you for a 1 on 1 tutorial :) Bot kidding!
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?
I didn’t know we could turn on the phantom power with one dynamic mic!
Yessir. You certainly can.
useful
I loved your PodCast demonstration with Garagee Band. When you were on Garabe Band at one point your record meters were not working so you it Alt D. and or Alt T. obviously on a PC. What is the equivalent code on a Mac? Thanks
I have 2i2 G3 + SM58 > need to turn the input gain all the way to 100% (06:00) on the scarlett in order to get -12dB. Distance source (my vocal) to microphone 6 cm.
Great video ☺️ ..I have focusrite solo and planning to buy SM58 .../SM57..but I read lots of issues with this combo regarding focusrite not being able to give enough pre amp to dynamic mics and this leads to using them with high gain at focusrite resulting in noise (cables are fine , connections are alright) ...did u gave anything like that ?? Or its fine to buy this combo
Great video! Found it very insightful. One question - I have a 3rd gen 2i2 and I'm looking for a dynamic microphone that works decently without a preamp. Would something like, for example, a Beta 58A or a lower gain mic be a better choice than these two? Thanks!
A Beta 58 performs fairly similar to the SM58.
Hi! Thanks for this great video! 🙏 I followed the instructions (input 1 for mic 1 and input 2 for mic 2) and I can hear properly both microphones. Still, when i start recording, both tracks do record the mic I've plugged in Input one and ignore the second MIC 😭 This is driving me crazy! I have a Mac M2 and using a 3rd generation 4i4. Any tips on how I can solve this? Thank you so much in advance! 🙏
Great video!! I'm new to this recording thing.
I'm using a tascam 40x and a Shure SM58 and a cheap version of a cloudlifer. I am not able to get the volume constantly above -18dB to -12dB without straining my voice. So the recording are on the low side. And when I'm raising the dBs in post noise creeps in. Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance
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
Thank you for the video.
I was just wondering if you can use GarageBand on a HP laptop?
My plan is to get a podcast up and running with me as the host and a guest would I be using this setup for that? That will mean getting a cloud lifter and headphone splitter for headphone for myself and the guest?
Also will I have to touch anything on the laptop when I start recording?
Great video! May I ask what setup you used to record before you plugged in the equipment in the video? Your narration is just as good, if not better before the instructional! I see the lapel mic you're wearing, but I'm curious what it is and what it's plugged into
Great question, we have a link in the description with all of the info that we use. This lav mic records straight to a SD card that we sync up after we're done filming. geni.us/7R9m7B
@@kettnercreative Thank you!!
This was so helpful thank you. Be blessed in Jesus name
Hey! I have two rode mic's, and was wondering would I need to connect both the mic's into the cloud lifter for additional gain?
Thank you so much and do I use 2 mono tracks ? Because I’m using audacity and it says stereo or mono ?
If you are just doing a solo podcast do you need the headphones?
can you have the cloudlifter for two mics or is it just one?
I have this same interface but i thought i could plug in two sets of headphones on the back using the two headphones jacks? I never thought to use a headphone splitter. What’s the difference?
How did you sync the two audio files you brought in with the video?
So I've got the idea the shure sm7b is good with a cloud filter! My question is what headphones are you using, and could I use the shure sm7b and another separate branded mic and still get good responses if both need the cloud lifter?? Thank you
Awesome tutorial! I followed your instructions to the letter, but when I record audio, I'm getting a lot of static noise in the background from both mics. For reference, I have two Shure SM7B mics, both with a cloud lifter, and they are plugged into the Focusrite just like you have it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Not sure, hard to know for sure without seeing it. I would try a variety of things:
1) Use different cable
2) Connect microphones to a different system to see if the microphones are faulty
3) Used different headphones, could be bad headphones
What is the cord called that’s connected to the computer
Iv been looking for a while now at just recording Voice Over and I cant find a video on it anywhere yet.
How do you add video? How do you create this vid ? What camera do you use ?
Thank you very much for the Video.
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)? Thank you for your advice
Hi friend,
What it the cable that you are using to connect the Focusrite AI to your mac, hence I know focusrite does not have Type B and Type C in one cable. Thanks
how would you recommend this setup if your podcast guest is remote and say youre doing it via skype or zoom?
Everything went smoothly, except a low constant hum when listening back to audio. How could this be resolved?
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)
@@kettnercreative thank you!!!
Howdy! I have a phantom power behringer u-phoria um2, and a normal dynamic microphone, in the recording program I record only mono but not stereo, I use XLR cable mom and dad, I don't know where the problem would be?
Hello!!! what lapel microphone do you use to record your videos and where do you connect it to record?
what if you want to do 3-4 people at the same time?
Hi, I have a question!
Does 2i2's phantom power work on input1&2 for 2 condenser microphones at the same time ?
Thanks:)
I purchased the Samsung Q2U mics and the Audio Tech M20X headphones. I kept overall costs really low. Do I need the 4 way headphone splitter? Can I connect the mic directly to the Scarlett? I want to start my podcast but am not a tech person at all!! Any inout or feedback on the equipment I'm pricing together? I wanted to use the audacity bc it appears to be simple. Your expertise and feedback is greatly appreciated.
Great demo. Is there such thing as an interface that would allow TWO mics, and TWO headphone jacks, so that BOTH could monitor their voices?
I just want to do an interview into my computer. Thanks!
The SSL2+ has 2 mic inputs and 2 headphone inputs
Do you recommend fethead with sm58?

I am trying to get two XLR mics to work on A Focusrite, with Hindenburg Pro. I cannot arm both tracks. Isbit a Focusrite option/button I am missing? Or is it something I might need to do in the software setting of Hindenburg? Thank you in advance.
I have a problem with scarlett in live, we do not have the equal voice outcome, most likely the vocal most is out but the keyboard and guitar we barely hear it. we connect with mixer Mackie Profx 16v. Please help
Can I multi track record on audacity ?
Your mic cables look different than mine. Mine still connect fine but I can not get any audio
Thanks for the great content. I'm currently using a Presonus PD-70 and my gain is turned all the way up. Is this a clear indicator I need to purchase a cloudlifter or is there something I can tweak in Audacity or Pro Tools First to increase my sound? I'm testing both DAWs to see which I prefer.
The green light should be regularly flickering when you speak. If you’re turned up past 9/10, then you should get a cloud lifter
