I'm currently working for amazon as a delivery driver delivering on average 170 parcels every day. I'm working to get capital so I can buy equipments to open up my music studio business. This would help me if I won it. 🎧🎧
The AXR4 would be a major step up in my recording. I'm slowly trying to build my studio from the ground up and this would be a game changer for me! Awesome sounding too
oh dang, this would absolutely finalize me and my roommate's home studio. we're building and putting up acoustic treatment this weekend and trying to get the space up and running. we each have usb interfaces that we work on and have been contemplating what the next step would be equipment wise - something with enough inputs for the whole band! our goal is to do everything in house by ourselves - write, record, mix, etc... this would be an incredible addition to what we have because it would allow us to actually start the process.
this would be huge for me now that i needed to move my parents in with me. the quality of the bass DI is a big one for me. that Silk circuit essentially gives the sound of my youth, when all the music i heard (forgive me) felt like a warm hug to the senses. i love the sound of old electronics, Warren. i still have a console stereo with a reel to reel with 2 magic eye top tube as stereo VUs. i would make use of it in my studio immediately
The red sounded more modern to me. No doubt the blue was tasty biscuits. But the red was like gluten free tasty biscuits. Yeah, not as satisfying ..but not going to bloat your mix up either. If you used the blue on full on everything, you'd spend the next week digging low mid out of your mix. 😉 And loudness normalization murders you for low mid. I can see the blue working well for vocals and featured instruments with the red on everything else. Having the blue for signal instrument productions like piano ballads would be gold. To be able to add that extra weight would bring the production up several rungs of the ladder. ☺ v. Cool video! Thanks as always!
I'm using Steinberg Cubase from the beginning, around 1989 if I"m correct. Started on a Atari computer. Now after all these years I use Cubase 10 pro and the Steinberg UR44. Very happy with it cause it sound great but I think my productions would be even better if I could use the new AXR4 :))
Hi, Warren! I`m a Construction manager and I write songs from my family, friends (have more than 300), I play the guitar. I learn to mixing music from Dave Pensado, Chris Lord-Alge, Bobby Owsinski, David Glenn, Greg Ondo, Ryan West, Warren Huart :) and others. My DAW is Steinberg Cubase 9.5 and digital interface is Steinberg UR22 mk II. It's fantastic with DSP mixer and Latency-free monitoring, and everything else (thanks for the presentation). I think AXR4 would be a great help in recording the songs I created.
Love this! Thank you for sharing! I was using the Line 6 Helix for an audio interface, but had to sell it after I wrecked my car. Would love to be able to record again. The mental music never stops...
I started working in a musical instrument store in '87 when I was 17. Even then being a simple minded teenager that only wanted to know about Marshalls and Charvel Jacksons. Steinberg was the name that only the musicians in the know used back then.If you were having conversations involving Steinberg you were somebody.
Oh god, I would love to hear the coloration it would bring to my recording! Definitely a killer interface!! I like the idea of bringing something from the past to a modern audio interface! Cheers Warren
Hello Warren great video, The AXR4 would help me out massively right now, I accidentally plugged the power supply for my GAP pre73 (24v) into my Presonus Studio 192 and fired the unit. I am using my M audio 2x2 right now, but with only the two inputs it has sucked the life out of my studio. The MXR4 would supercharge my studio and creative process with all the routing options and Neve style pres. Thanks for all the hard work on your videos and knowledge you share with the community I know I have benefited greatly from your videos, give a ways are just the icing on the cake.
First and foremost, congrats on the 300k subscribers, well deserved. Anyone following your channel knows how invaluable the information you’ve provided has been. I think it’s great that steinberg is allowing this unit to be given away, but even greater that it’s coming from you. Thanks again for the education, and the opportunity to win the piece of equipment. Good luck everyone.
Would it be possible to like have a Warren Huart guitar lesson by any chance? Not the recording techniques because you've provided a lot of valuable lessons on it, but your playing techniques, influences, etc. Also, thanks for the upload and for the giveaway!
Am I wrong in feeling like you can never have too many options for different flavors of saturation? I love how this treats guitar tones and would really enjoy running things through here for extra warmth.
What I hear with the sound of Steinberg AXR4 with the electric guitar is something that I got with the Element (Apogee) plus the RNDI (Ruper Neve Designs). So the Steinberg AXR4 is really a good way to get all those sounds that Warren shows here
This would be an end-game interface for me and my work! Currently using a Focusrite 18i8 which has served me well for nearly 5 years but have been considering an upgrade which would allow me to take my work to another level.
I have just upgraded to Cubase 10 pro and waves Horizon but am running my mics into a presonus 8 input digital interface that is old and would love to complete the circle with all new incredible gear! Absolutely sick unit!
@@Producelikeapro You're welcome Warren. You've taught me so much that I use everyday in every song I write/record/mix. I sent you an email about the new Nembrini Sansamp and Soldano amp sim (amazing plugins/high quality), hope you get a chance to check them out, Igor Nembrini was very generous to me, I told him about what we have going on in PLAP
Hello Warren, I absolutely love your tutorials and they've helped me a lot in my production. Im a 16 year old jazz producer and i usually find the need to record guitars, but i am using a $30 interface the behringer UM2. The problem is that it gives me a loud hissing sound and its very bad quality.This interface would also help me record my band with my friends and would be really fun to use. I have no clue on how to use the modes you have talked about but I am eager to learn. Hope you’re doing marvelously well! - Syed
Oooooh, this would make an excellent hub for a mobile recording rig I'm looking to put together. And as a longtime Cubase/Steinberg user, this would fit in very nicely with my existing workflow.
Wow, nice unit. I am not sure that I could put such an incredible peice of gear to full use in my humble home studio. But a Neve preamp? Yes please! That would be something to build a home studio around.
AXR4 will definitely be a ticket for my career to next level to setup a industry standard studio in my country! If i win it! Great Video Warren! I always learn form you a lot! Stay marvelously well !
So ive been kinda searching for the" hidden secret" to mainstream professional sound and ive tried everything from eq tips and compression stuff to mid side,and panning but i really think the secret is reverb. I think the pros effortlessly add reverb and dont realize the impact bcuz its just something they do. So if you guys @producelikeapro could spend some time on this it would be super appropriated
I'm a longtime Steinberg Cubase user. This would be a huge upgrade over my current interface, a Steinberg UR22mkII. Thank you Warren for all the great tutorials and giveaways! Cheers!
If 24b/192k is considered "HD audio", then what would you call 32b/384k? "Insane HD"? Steinberg is definitely ahead in the game here. Hopefully, computing power and storage capabilities can catch up to it soon. I can't hear the name Steinberg without thinking of Mr. Steinberg, the frog-voiced cantor who was one of my teachers at Hebrew school those many years ago. He used to make cassettes of himself singing for us to practice our haftorahs to. I wonder how he'd sound singing through this AXR4.
I’ve just upgraded to the latest iMac and realised that my old Focusrite FireWire interface will need replacing. Would love the flexibility that this unit would offer 🙏
Чистый предусилитель на голосе 11:31, красный предусилитель 11:40, синий предусилитель 11:47. Чистый предусилитель очень мягкий хорошо лег в минусовку , синий режим на голосе это среднее между чистым предусилителем и красным предусилителем, синий режим на 10 это такой современный плотный звук. Красный режим вообще на голосе НЕ ПОНРАВИЛСЯ СЛИШКОМ МНОГО ВЕРХОВ И СЛИШКОМ ВЫДЕЛЯЕТ СИБИЛЯНТЫ! Больше всего понравился чистый предусилитель и синий режим на голосе это действительно два разных характера звучания и оба ПРЕКРАСНО сидят в миксе. Голос у исполнителя вообще выше всех похвал, ему идеально подходит данный микрофон который представлен в видео. Yandex translator: Pure preamp on voice 11:31, red preamp 11:40, blue preamp 11:47. The pure preamp is very soft well laid down in the backing , the blue mode on the voice is the middle between the pure preamp and the red preamp, the blue mode on the 10 is such a modern dense sound. Red mode is generally the voice did NOT LIKE TOO MUCH UPPER AND TOO ALLOCATES SIBILANT! Most of all I liked the pure preamplifier and blue mode on the voice are really two different character sound and both sit PERFECTLY in the mix. The voice of the performer is generally above all praise, he is perfect the microphone which is provided in the video.
It would be a great addition to a home studio. I liked the blue mode for all the instruments and enjoyed the red mode for the vocals. Interesting the way each mode processes the information coming in to it. I like the individual breakdowns. Keep up the good work!
The Neve provides those classic sounds so many of us enjoyed back in the days of analog recordings. The documentary Reel to Real by Dave Grohl, who now owns the Neve console from Sound City where the video and accompanying audio tracks for the documentary were recorded, does a great job dissecting and explaining this legendary piece of audio equipment. The AXR4 would definitely be a welcome addition to my modest recording setup. At 57 years of age, I started learning guitar a couple of years ago and have been learning how to record my ideas along the way. I grew up listening to analog sound recordings and this interface seems to do very well at bringing that sound into the digital age.
I'm a big fan of Steinberg, Cubase was the first DAW i used back in the day. Germans are know for some of the best engineered pro audio gear on the planet, and having that Neve Silk emulation is a great gateway to get hooked on that classic transformer sound. I imagine the AXR4 would pair well with the Rupert Neve Portico II master bus processor!
Alright i have to admit that the red mode on vocals and the acoustic guitar, really impressed me. I often struggle to see/hear what people mean, when they say that that "insert random expensive mic pre/interface" sounds so amazing. But this time i gotta say damn, that red mode really did something that goes beyond those "5%" people always talk about when talking pricey gear.
I have a Focusrite 2i2 and I'm recording my own personal songs and some of friends stuff as well. Through recording other people, I've quickly run out of inputs and this would certainly help in my transition to becoming an open studio for recording artists around my city because I sure as hell don't make enough money to purchase an interface which can be superior to my 2i2. Thanks Warren
What should I do to actually apply to the giveaways? I mean, when I got to the page there’re like 5 or 6 options to click and submit and don’t know if I have to do it on everyone or just one? Also, do I have to be a member of the academy? Or do I have a possibility by just being a subscribed UA-cam user? Appreciate any answer, thanks.
Thank you for the review, Warren. The SILK really makes the difference. Without it the preamps sound pretty neutral and clean. I love the Blue setting on drums, bass and e-guitar. On piano, a-guitar and vocals I prefer the Red option. I guess it's personal taste, but one thing is for sure. I'd never turn the SILK off.
Fantastic unit. And the blue mode is amazing !!! I could use it on everything acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, voice. It's a another fantastic giveaway. Thanks Warren for this video with demos by elements 😉
Hi Peter Conzelman definitely only four! Which you can tell because the toms are a little quieter in the overheads! Probably some additional compression would help that! However then you would not get an accurate representation of the four mics on the mics on the kit through the Steinberg.
Not sure how to enter. But it would probably justify getting an updated computer with the requisite specs. Looks like it would streamline my recording process with the silk sound for almost any source.
Wow! The red mode really adds some sheen in the air range, and the blue does add some weight the source! Very neat! If I were to win the interface, it would help me capture some great recordings with the silk modes and super high fidelity specs, and it would become my monitoring interface as well! All of my sessions are going to be in 384 kHz at 32 bit from now on!!
It's always nice to see you've got a new video out. This Steinberg interface would clearly be a nice addition to any home studio. Actually, that's one of the fun parts about having a home studio: outfitting it with gear! Thanks again for all of the quality content. It's inspiring and educational.
Looks and sounds really great. It definitely will complete my setup as a multi-instrumentalist (drums, guitar, keys, vocals) So you can't have enough channels! Currently i'm running with a very small interface, which is a problem now.. This amazing product will also immediately fix my input space problem and really give my recordings a top notch sound. This in conjunction with my new Cubase Pro10 ! Well done Steinberg!
What is interesting for me - that audio interfaces are less expensive then some of the DAC's. So it's more expensive to have a good converter than a good encoder? Because I would think a studio Analog-to-digital would be more expensive. Just curious here :-)
I like the blue setting on almost everything, except on the acoustic guitars. These are sounding better with the red setting. But anyways. It's complaining on a very very high level. Might be, because I am germn :-D It def. will bring my recording an mixing skills way up. I like the Steinberg stuff alot. Using Cubase since Cubase 4 came out.
This would help a ton in my new studio, I currently have a focusrite 2i2. I am currently in the market for a new interface . I have been wanting to track drums, just don't have the hardware.. this looks amazing.
Dude the mic you used on the vocals sounded very good to me (and you literally are the first one on the entire youtube who used a GOOD singer to show off a product). Can you provide info of the microphone you used?
This seems like a big step up for Steinberg hardware. This would be perfect for my Cubase Pro setup. I would add my two Audient ASP880's for the ultimate recording setup.
It would be cool to have something like this that I would otherwise not have access to. I didn’t catch if this unit supports ADAT optical inputs or not, does it?
It would nice for a change not to keep plugging in and unplugging mics and guitars on a two-input interface and leaving all instruments/mics set ready for use. And it would be nice to have some SILK in my bedroom, too! Great vid, Warren, love the ease with which you play guitar.
If I won, I would immediately make room for it in my home studio, and then my focusrite 6i6 would be removed because it has a defect in one of my input. the AXR4 could help with making my work easier, and my recordings much better 😊
Wow, I'm impressed by the different textures available with this little beast. I would love to win this. I'm still using a Delta 44 and only 2 of the inputs work.
What a nice interface... oh... would love to have one. I need more outputs and inputs- and this Neve thing sounds good, too, it would be the cherry on top of the cake :)
Steinberg AXR4 would certainly be a good tool for my home studio and for my recordings .. this would certainly give my work that extra quality that I really need !!!
BLUE MODE SOUNDS AWESOME! 👏👏 This will definitely help next time recording drums 🥁 I won’t have to ruin around asking my friends to borrow there preamps😬 this thing sounds great.
Tried many rack interfaces, not happy with any. Though Steinberg 4ch USB 3.1 worked best for me (but returned it as it was rebooting my iPad). So I am excited there is grown-ups version of new Steinberg .... until saw the price .... "i am sorry honey, I am short of money" - half short. So giveaway my only option :)
I'd love the interface to make my Home studio complete and also put the interface in a portable case with my Scarlett 18i20 so I can finally record full bands! I'm starting with an audio engineer/production study next year so that would work out great! Also, I'd show pictures of me cycling with my interfaces! d:
I will own it one day! Definitely! It have everything for heart of the studio. UA, RME, Apogee, MOTU, Focusrite, Audient, Antelope, never heard about those. :D I liked blue mode on drums, specially on kick.
Hey Warren, Thanks for providing a fantastic resource and the chance to win quality equipment. If I won this then it would certainly help as I need to upgrade my audio interface along with my mic collection. Just out of interest what preamp were you using for your drums? Cheers
Sounds really good. Nothing wrong with digital or analog but I love the freedom of choice a system like this gives you. A perfect tool to be able to create any sound or feeling you are seeking. The very best of both worlds combined.
Well, I recently got an agreement to rent out a small room, where I hopefully will have a nice small studio one day. No more bedroom tracking soon :) So this nice piece of equipment would definitely be helpful. I'd use that probably on a guitar/bass most of the time.
Love your video's. This one not so much. Yep, I too started on illegal versions of Charlie Steinbergs Pro 24. Some long time ago . But somehow I don't think this unit will make much difference. Its up to par with Apollo now. I looked at the previous URT4 / UR44 9,5 inch models. I was struck too see no significant lay-out differences between the Steinberg/Yamaha UR44 design and a model having URT4 transformer option. Look at those 2 products: max 4 signals are going into D-pre first and than into an optional Neve transformer. A metal box having a nice Rupert Neve signature on it and 4 metal gain knobs instead of plastic ones. It looked like a branding collab paired to a technical afterthought. "Discrete Class A indiscretely" advertised. As USB2.0 units are not daisy-chainable. The previous USB 2.0 units were pretty much dead on arrival. Thunderbolt is daisy-chainable. This refreshed RT4 unit has (if you buy 2 or 3) a new 16 and 24/ io shot at it (and packs a lot of digital Yamaha dsp chips along with it). All 8 analog transformerless output circuits will be Yamaha. Nor does it have 4 discrete class A Nevish mic pre circuits, instead 4x Yamaha D-pre. ... And/or what happened to the 4 line in transformers? It could use Yamaha VCM transformer 'emulation' of a `Neve silk circuitry red, white and blue ... So what exactly hybrid are we looking at here? Boutique range prices for non-boutique mass produced stuff. Good stuff, but excellent? Doubt it.
This thing looks fantastic!! A major step up from my Apogee 2 channel interface. This would be a help. I could actually record a band at my house with a "Neve-ish" vibe. And it's Thunderbolt. Please guys, pick me. Pick me...
I went to the link above to enter the giveaway, but whatever that spinning thing was for entering the giveaway just said stuff like, "shaken not stirred, thrusters engaging, etc.," and never worked as any kind of link for entering the giveaway. :( Anyway, if I won the interface, I'd probably use it as an interface. I don't mean to sound like a smartass, but I don't know what else to do with it, really. I'm kind of a novice at the hardware side of it all.
This unit would help me to finally record the dummer in my band, all individual drum and cymbals so I could produce the finetuned sound I like. Also looking forward to have the best quality possible from the preamps itself. I hope my luck won't let me down and I get the AXR4 in my studio really soon! Thanks for the giveaway and wish you very best!
I would finally have a good microphone preamp ive been dreaming of. Not only that it would give me the ability to share my music with extreme detail to the world on UA-cam. Pick me please.
The steinberg AXR4 would be a really nice allround solution for my homestudio, to integrate some outboard gear and it would replace my mackie onyx 1640 .
The AXR4 would be amazing to own! I just bought a batch of mics to shape out my hone studio as I start recording my EP and some projects for other people. This would definitely be a marvelous upgrade haha
Hi warren! Would be great to have access to those Neve like preamps and the extra I/O in my studio. I’m still using an RME Fireface 800. Great conversion, but I’m overdue for an upgrade. Thanks for all your lovely content.
I hope whomever wins this has a great studio to use it in. I think it would be overkill for my little demo/writing room. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it but this is a high end pro unit.
Hi Friends! Leave a comment below and let us know how the AXR4 would help you if you win it!
Where do you announce the winners?
Hi@@zahitemremetin606! We contact the winners directly, and if they give us permission to post their photo we list them here: bit.ly/2u7tkNl and on our Facebook page!
I would sell it . With that money I would get a Warwick bass and a 8 channel interface.

Nice to see Steinberg investing in put some character in a great quality product like this.
this lookd amazing
Well, they already had in the past with the MR series. And the pre's in it were amazing. But this time they have outdone themselves.

For me too many options just leads to confusion! But I agree, this adds some nice warmth to the sound.
@@FiddlerSteve I'm all about using multiple flavors in serial over just having one or two favorites, typically.

The Neve provides those classic sounds so many of us enjoyed back in the days of analog recordings. The documentary Reel to Real by Dave Grohl, who now owns the Neve console from Sound City where the video and accompanying audio tracks for the documentary were recorded, does a great job dissecting and explaining this legendary piece of audio equipment. The AXR4 would definitely be a welcome addition to my modest recording setup. At 57 years of age, I started learning guitar a couple of years ago and have been learning how to record my ideas along the way. I grew up listening to analog sound recordings and this interface seems to do very well at bringing that sound into the digital age.
I'm a big fan of Steinberg, Cubase was the first DAW i used back in the day. Germans are know for some of the best engineered pro audio gear on the planet, and having that Neve Silk emulation is a great gateway to get hooked on that classic transformer sound. I imagine the AXR4 would pair well with the Rupert Neve Portico II master bus processor!
Alright i have to admit that the red mode on vocals and the acoustic guitar, really impressed me. I often struggle to see/hear what people mean, when they say that that "insert random expensive mic pre/interface" sounds so amazing. But this time i gotta say damn, that red mode really did something that goes beyond those "5%" people always talk about when talking pricey gear.
I have a Focusrite 2i2 and I'm recording my own personal songs and some of friends stuff as well. Through recording other people, I've quickly run out of inputs and this would certainly help in my transition to becoming an open studio for recording artists around my city because I sure as hell don't make enough money to purchase an interface which can be superior to my 2i2.
Thanks Warren
AXR4 would help me in every way, i make electronic music and love to record guitars and vocals through my UR22. Would be an awesome upgrade
What should I do to actually apply to the giveaways? I mean, when I got to the page there’re like 5 or 6 options to click and submit and don’t know if I have to do it on everyone or just one? Also, do I have to be a member of the academy? Or do I have a possibility by just being a subscribed UA-cam user? Appreciate any answer, thanks.
Thank you for the review, Warren. The SILK really makes the difference. Without it the preamps sound pretty neutral and clean. I love the Blue setting on drums, bass and e-guitar. On piano, a-guitar and vocals I prefer the Red option. I guess it's personal taste, but one thing is for sure. I'd never turn the SILK off.
Fantastic unit. And the blue mode is amazing !!! I could use it on everything acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, voice. It's a another fantastic giveaway. Thanks Warren for this video with demos by elements 😉
How do you compare this with universal audio APOLLO - what is advantages and disadvantages
I'd be very interested to hear how strings sound through the different modes here. Then I could spend on a pair of mics this year!
I think this would fit perfectly for the 70’s yacht music I’m recording. Just adding that bit of vibe that makes the difference!
Drum kit looks like it has more than 4 mics. with 4 xlr input, what do you use to get the all into the AXR4? xlr to 1/4 inch cable? break out box?
Peter Conzelman even though there’s mics on the toms and hi hat, we were only recording the kick, snare and two overheads through the AXR4 😊
Hi Peter Conzelman definitely only four! Which you can tell because the toms are a little quieter in the overheads! Probably some additional compression would help that! However then you would not get an accurate representation of the four mics on the mics on the kit through the Steinberg.
The Workday Release absolutely! Balanced playing is the most important thing my friend!!
Not sure how to enter. But it would probably justify getting an updated computer with the requisite specs. Looks like it would streamline my recording process with the silk sound for almost any source.
Did you record the drums with 4 mics only (OHs, kick & snare)?
Wow! The red mode really adds some sheen in the air range, and the blue does add some weight the source! Very neat!
If I were to win the interface, it would help me capture some great recordings with the silk modes and super high fidelity specs, and it would become my monitoring interface as well!
All of my sessions are going to be in 384 kHz at 32 bit from now on!!
It's always nice to see you've got a new video out. This Steinberg interface would clearly be a nice addition to any home studio. Actually, that's one of the fun parts about having a home studio: outfitting it with gear! Thanks again for all of the quality content. It's inspiring and educational.
Looks and sounds really great. It definitely will complete my setup as a multi-instrumentalist (drums, guitar, keys, vocals) So you can't have enough channels! Currently i'm running with a very small interface, which is a problem now..
This amazing product will also immediately fix my input space problem and really give my recordings a top notch sound. This in conjunction with my new Cubase Pro10 !
Well done Steinberg!
What is interesting for me - that audio interfaces are less expensive then some of the DAC's. So it's more expensive to have a good converter than a good encoder? Because I would think a studio Analog-to-digital would be more expensive. Just curious here :-)
I like Bass guitar sound but can't uderstand the headroom because the input gain is very high and this leads to the artefacts on some notes.
I like the blue setting on almost everything, except on the acoustic guitars. These are sounding better with the red setting. But anyways. It's complaining on a very very high level.
Might be, because I am germn :-D
It def. will bring my recording an mixing skills way up. I like the Steinberg stuff alot. Using Cubase since Cubase 4 came out.
This would seriously be the perfect addition to my home studio! I just moved from America to Germany and now I need to work on rebuilding my studio.
This would help a ton in my new studio, I currently have a focusrite 2i2. I am currently in the market for a new interface . I have been wanting to track drums, just don't have the hardware.. this looks amazing.
Red sounds good on acoustic guitar and vocals , blue for even harmonics / for every occasion .
Dude the mic you used on the vocals sounded very good to me (and you literally are the first one on the entire youtube who used a GOOD singer to show off a product). Can you provide info of the microphone you used?
This seems like a big step up for Steinberg hardware.
This would be perfect for my Cubase Pro setup. I would add my two Audient ASP880's for the ultimate recording setup.
Im trying to start a small recording studio and this would be a incredibly nice addition.( considering Im recording through a Behringer interface now)
It would be cool to have something like this that I would otherwise not have access to. I didn’t catch if this unit supports ADAT optical inputs or not, does it?
I love the blue for everything, but that red 10 is incredible on vocals!
This would be a nice upgrade from my Scarlett 18i8!
It would nice for a change not to keep plugging in and unplugging mics and guitars on a two-input interface and leaving all instruments/mics set ready for use. And it would be nice to have some SILK in my bedroom, too! Great vid, Warren, love the ease with which you play guitar.
If I won, I would immediately make room for it in my home studio, and then my focusrite 6i6 would be removed because it has a defect in one of my input. the AXR4 could help with making my work easier, and my recordings much better 😊
Wow, I'm impressed by the different textures available with this little beast.
I would love to win this. I'm still using a Delta 44 and only 2 of the inputs work.
What a nice interface... oh... would love to have one. I need more outputs and inputs- and this Neve thing sounds good, too, it would be the cherry on top of the cake :)
Can these be daisy-chained over Thunderbolt? Having more of those preamps accessible would be great.
Steinberg AXR4 would certainly be a good tool for my home studio and for my recordings .. this would certainly give my work that extra quality that I really need !!!
BLUE MODE SOUNDS AWESOME! 👏👏
This will definitely help next time recording drums 🥁 I won’t have to ruin around asking my friends to borrow there preamps😬
this thing sounds great.
Tried many rack interfaces, not happy with any. Though Steinberg 4ch USB 3.1 worked best for me (but returned it as it was rebooting my iPad). So I am excited there is grown-ups version of new Steinberg .... until saw the price .... "i am sorry honey, I am short of money" - half short. So giveaway my only option :)
I'd love the interface to make my Home studio complete and also put the interface in a portable case with my Scarlett 18i20 so I can finally record full bands! I'm starting with an audio engineer/production study next year so that would work out great! Also, I'd show pictures of me cycling with my interfaces! d:
Thanks for showing off the filters on this unit.
Great unit. What was the "primary" recording sample rate for this video?
I will own it one day! Definitely! It have everything for heart of the studio. UA, RME, Apogee, MOTU, Focusrite, Audient, Antelope, never heard about those. :D I liked blue mode on drums, specially on kick.
I have a Motu 828es man I need this. I like my Motu but this is a step up. At least that’s what I’m seeing and hearing.. who knows
Hey Warren, Thanks for providing a fantastic resource and the chance to win quality equipment. If I won this then it would certainly help as I need to upgrade my audio interface along with my mic collection. Just out of interest what preamp were you using for your drums? Cheers
I saw they now are producing a Rupert Neve microphone!
very cool
Sounds really good. Nothing wrong with digital or analog but I love the freedom of choice a system like this gives you.
A perfect tool to be able to create any sound or feeling you are seeking.
The very best of both worlds combined.
Wow, this looks pretty amazing. I wonder how it sounds compared to the Apogee Symphony and the UAD Apollo X?
Well, I recently got an agreement to rent out a small room, where I hopefully will have a nice small studio one day. No more bedroom tracking soon :) So this nice piece of equipment would definitely be helpful. I'd use that probably on a guitar/bass most of the time.
Love your video's. This one not so much. Yep, I too started on illegal versions of Charlie Steinbergs Pro 24. Some long time ago . But somehow I don't think this unit will make much difference. Its up to par with Apollo now. I looked at the previous URT4 / UR44 9,5 inch models. I was struck too see no significant lay-out differences between the Steinberg/Yamaha UR44 design and a model having URT4 transformer option. Look at those 2 products: max 4 signals are going into D-pre first and than into an optional Neve transformer. A metal box having a nice Rupert Neve signature on it and 4 metal gain knobs instead of plastic ones. It looked like a branding collab paired to a technical afterthought. "Discrete Class A indiscretely" advertised. As USB2.0 units are not daisy-chainable. The previous USB 2.0 units were pretty much dead on arrival. Thunderbolt is daisy-chainable. This refreshed RT4 unit has (if you buy 2 or 3) a new 16 and 24/ io shot at it (and packs a lot of digital Yamaha dsp chips along with it). All 8 analog transformerless output circuits will be Yamaha. Nor does it have 4 discrete class A Nevish mic pre circuits, instead 4x Yamaha D-pre. ... And/or what happened to the 4 line in transformers? It could use Yamaha VCM transformer 'emulation' of a `Neve silk circuitry red, white and blue ... So what exactly hybrid are we looking at here? Boutique range prices for non-boutique mass produced stuff. Good stuff, but excellent? Doubt it.
I have been making music with a crappy interface for almost 2 years . Now its time to produce like a pro😉
This thing looks fantastic!! A major step up from my Apogee 2 channel interface. This would be a help. I could actually record a band at my house with a "Neve-ish" vibe. And it's Thunderbolt. Please guys, pick me. Pick me...
I don’t need it or want it but I would like to see a video of you doing a full mix on your SSL. Please consider!
Thanks
Steve
AXR 4 or Apollo X6?
Really great audio interface. I have a laptop, but no interface.
Winning this would be amazing! Congrats to whoever actually wins it.
I went to the link above to enter the giveaway, but whatever that spinning thing was for entering the giveaway just said stuff like, "shaken not stirred, thrusters engaging, etc.," and never worked as any kind of link for entering the giveaway. :(
Anyway, if I won the interface, I'd probably use it as an interface. I don't mean to sound like a smartass, but I don't know what else to do with it, really. I'm kind of a novice at the hardware side of it all.
This unit would help me to finally record the dummer in my band, all individual drum and cymbals so I could produce the finetuned sound I like. Also looking forward to have the best quality possible from the preamps itself. I hope my luck won't let me down and I get the AXR4 in my studio really soon! Thanks for the giveaway and wish you very best!
I would finally have a good microphone preamp ive been dreaming of. Not only that it would give me the ability to share my music with extreme detail to the world on UA-cam. Pick me please.
Will have my home studio mostly completed this fall, a fab new interface like this would top it off nicely!
The steinberg AXR4 would be a really nice allround solution for my homestudio, to integrate some outboard gear and it would replace my mackie onyx 1640 .
I am liking the red Silk on the vocal!
This has Just the right amount of features i was looking for. I will have all the i/o filled in a sec.
The AXR4 would be amazing to own! I just bought a batch of mics to shape out my hone studio as I start recording my EP and some projects for other people. This would definitely be a marvelous upgrade haha
Looking forward to hearing your stuff, Brandon. I just subscribed to ya.
@@tiffanyanthony Thank you so much! I'll be releasing some stuff very soon!
Hi warren! Would be great to have access to those Neve like preamps and the extra I/O in my studio. I’m still using an RME Fireface 800. Great conversion, but I’m overdue for an upgrade. Thanks for all your lovely content.
There's nothing to say except WOW!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I hope whomever wins this has a great studio to use it in. I think it would be overkill for my little demo/writing room. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it but this is a high end pro unit.
The sound of the RED channel of the Acoustic... man... phenomenal!
Shame this is just a Thunderbolt port
blue mode sounded hella nice on the vocals and guitars
That looks useful. Sounds good too
I'm in need of a new interface as my M-Box Pro and my Firestudio are old and no longer supported. Never tried a Steinberg interface.
Certainly beats my freebie plugin I've been using.
