I love how you never mention the Out button we gotta press in order for the monitors to work! Wow I had to look up other videos and figure it out alone! What a great tutorial!
I think that is a very good thing indeed. I remember a time where people could read manuals also. But since reading is no longer required in schools these days. Ah, manuals, I miss those.
Stellar tutorial on getting started on the Volt USB audio Interface. Instructions on setting up were clear and the recording sounded awesome!Great to see you on Universal Audio, Sanjay C!
You should have mentioned how to setup and ENABLE the ASIO driver ; I had to look around, found "Volt Driver Control Panel", but it said ASIO is disabled. Had to experiment until it became enabled!
I'm new to this. I picked up this up after all the videos say how easy it is to set up. You have to get a zillion accounts/registrations (takes a LONG time) to install the free software. I've never gone through so many hurdles and nonsense to record music. This video will not help you at all if you are new. This interface has a five day chance window before I take it back and find a replacement for my Tascam Portastudio. In short, you will spend A TON of time having to make accounts to register the FREE STUFF it comes with. If you are new to interfaces, not a single video (including this one) will help. I'm so frustrated-I wish the recorders weren't obsolete. They were better and far easier to learn on.
I just bought a Volt 2 and was looking forward to getting started. This is my first experience with home recording. It appears that Ableton Live has been updated, the interface of the software I downloaded is entirely different than the tutorial. I spent 30 minutes finding Preferences. I'm going to install Pro-Audio . This has been frustrating and disappointing.
Thanks. Wow! The production of this video is phenomenal. Do you know how to control output volume from my Mac keyboard? I had another interface that allowed me to do this. Thanks
The Volt 2 audio interface has two inputs for microphones rather than one input. But they both only output on the left or right side of the finished product depending on which input you use. How does one fix this?
If i plug microphones into the volt and plug the volt into the iphone, will the audio from the microphones be used when recording videos. Will it be used for going live on social media and what not. I want to make sure that I can record videos and livestream using the audi from the microphones plugged into the audi interface.
It’s impossible on windows 11 , I’m so frustrated seriously can’t handle it . Took my 1 hour on my old Mac and now it’s day 2 still trying on my new pc
did you notice after you plug your XLR in it is impossible to pull it out? You will never have access to use that channel with TRS Quarter inch input. I have 2 Volts a 4/76 and a 2/76 my XLR cables a permanently locked in. They have no release tab.
Yo I received my audio volt 176 yesterday, and every time I touch the 76 compressor button there is a huge super loud background noise which is created automatically, whether with headphones or monitoring, and even when I rec , we hear this noise in the lead track, So when I deactivate this button, everything is fine Except that I would really like to take advantage of this integrated compressor, Do you have any advice please because I'm lost!🙏🏽
Thx for this video. I'm planning to purchase the 476P. I have a question, I'm gonna use it mainly to record for singing, me and two background female voices. For music I'm using a ready to use backtrack. In the video you mentioned that you have to make sure the computer is listening to the interface. So is it possible then to load the backtrack directly from the pc in my DAW program and record the vocals in separate tracks or must the audio backtrack also go via the 476P. Do you know what I mean? Thank you.
I`ve put this posting elsewhere to try and get some help, so please don`t think it`s spam or junk. I just bought the Volt 176 and am using the NT1-A with Kali Audio LP6s. TRS connection from the volt, into the monitors via XLRs. The 48v button is coloured up red. Mogami XLRs join the mic to the front of the 176 but it`s so quiet! I cannot record voice as the gain won`t go past about 35% without feedback. It`s powered with the USB-C supplied and that`s plugged into a USB-C port on my PC. But, no matter what combination of settings I try it just seems too quiet to record vocal into Audacity. I`m way below where I should be. Any ideas?
Nice one Sanjay! I read something about UAD Apollo and "dsp" (?) and using UA plugins... I'm fine to use my existing VSTs with this Volt, right? Haha I know... I know.. but sometimes you just get confused with stuff..
Hello )) Please tell me if this volt 2 has a loopback function ?? is it possible to record two electric guitars in this device at the same time? ....google translator, sorry)....
I got it yesterday...took me hrs just to get ableton on...its not plug n play. I hate it...tascam is easier... I was finally able to record but don't know anything else....
I have a important question bro please help me 😭 🙏🏻 When I increase the gain to the end and no microphone is connected, a hissing sound comes into the headphones. Is that normal or my volt1 sound card broken?😔💔
All plugins are M1 native in native hosts except Auto-tune and bx_refinement. But Console is still Rosetta. But since none of our apps tax the CPU, it doesn't impact performance. 👍🏻
I’ve tried plugging in my volt 2 into my iPad to record my guitar into garage band but i am unable to hear anything when i strum, lights are appearing on the interface itself, but my iPad Air is unable to receive anything, yet i am able to plug in my headphones to the interface and hear UA-cam videos being played on my iPad, so how come garage band isn’t picking up my guitar?

im having a problem with my volt. im trying to connect it and everything and im getting sound. however, my system playback isnt "monitor l/r" but input 1/2 how can i fix that
I'd like to live stream with this. Does the software allow you to add effects like reverb, compression, EQ etc. *before* it is sent to the DAW? That way I can send the audio straight to OBS studio before streaming it out. Currently I use a Line 6 interface but I would like to switch to this one.
Apollos! With Apollos all processing happens on the device so the output of Console (the app that controls Apollo) can be sent to OBS with all processing in place.
How do you access all the plugins in ableton? I spent over an hour downloading all the software but none of it shows up in the plugin section on ableton.
You have to re-scan your Plugins in Ableton, to make em show up. Just go into the settings of Ableton and have a look at the Plugins Tab. There you go! :)

I can’t hear shit…Ableton is picking up my guitar and the computer is definitely “hearing” it but I don’t hear anything. I’m just trying to use the computer speakers. Searching everywhere to find an answer and nothing. Can anyone help?
🤠 Does your sub have an RCA input jack & a dial to alter the cut-off frequency of the crossover? Most home theatre subs have these features. If yes, you can just connect one of the line outputs (or even the headphone jack) from the Volt to the RCA in of the sub & then set the crossover frequency to match your main speakers where they rolloff with the bass. BUT, you could also just use one of the outputs from your built-in soundcard. You may need cable adapters or custom cables if you need to go from 6.5mm jacks to RCA.

how do you connect a subwoofer to the interface?
Subwoofers typically are integrated with the monitors they're designed to work with. VOLT does not have a dedicated sub out.
🤠 Does your sub have an RCA input jack & a dial to alter the cut-off frequency of the crossover? Most home theatre subs have these features. If yes, you can just connect one of the line outputs (or even the headphone jack) from the Volt to the RCA in of the sub & then set the crossover frequency to match your main speakers where they rolloff with the bass.
