Creative makes and has made really decent stuff in the past. We used to use a creative audigy pc breakout box in the studio back in the late 90s early 00s. Before gigasampler creative was using something call sound fonts which were freakin awesome at the time for anyone doing in the box production. This doesnt surprise me one bit. The form factor reminds me of universal audio a bit with the shape and ergonomics of it. Nice piece!!
Sounds like the beginning of a sweet MEI studio history opening
Definitely sounds good so there’s that! Worth the 8!
Yeah nothing at all to hate on
Just found your channel recently and love your content, have you reviewed the beacn microphone yet ? It’s another sm7b clone but i think it’s something worth you checking out 😀
Appreciate that! Welcome to the channel! I have not....they never reached out and I have to pay for it lol. Small channel problems
I really really like the feature you can make phone calls out with WhatsApp in the middle another conversation.
Always a great feature
I too love the form factor, everything I need and want.❤
And, I think Creative made the sound blaster sound cards for PCs. I think my first card with SPDIF and TOSLINK I/O was from Creative.
Yeah it's a keeper
Mmmm. Good knobs. Nothing in the world better than good knobs.
Damn skippy
hello there I love your content.
what is the best portable audio interface to be used with smartphones and an SM7DB. preferably one with a monasterio mix switch as well as a TRS input for backing tracks and or music players.
planning on using it to live stream music covers on Facebook Instagram TikTok etc. so having the feed on both left and right channels would be much appreciated.
stay healthy and cheers from a blind subscriber in the Philippines!
edit: a TC helicon Mic Mechanic 2 analog vocal processor will be used in between the SM7DB and the audio interface. the TCMM2 itself has automatic gain which sadly cannot be disabled. so having an interface with the lowest pre-amp noise possible would be amazing for gain staging.
as an aside, I like using the TCMM2 because I am legally blind and therefore do not have the capability of using DAWs in order to add vocal effects to my live performances. so essentially having a guitar pedal but one made for vocalists is a godsend for me.
Thank you!
Man thats tough.
The roland GO is an option - amzn.to/3U4wb3K
The donner livejack M - hard to find, but a great option
The zoom AMS 22...not great but it does have the functions you seek - amzn.to/43N3zyV
@@ObscureMics thank you for responding to my questions. 💜🇵🇭
Sounds good. Mono mix would be nice.
Would probably eliminate some other device for me. Maybe they will do a 2nd gen
I didn't think that Creative (sound blaster) still existed...24 bit, I think you didn't mention it... For stereo, agree with you, but I would suggest a knob pan below each input level knob. It's more pleasant in stereo to hear two people on a stereo video depending on their positioning in relation to the video framing. I highly appreciate this on the little desktop crap its xenyx q802 usb. Thank you and really surprised to see this creative(ly) come out... You're pulling rabbits out of your hat for us. Interesting. THANKS.
Very cool comment. Thank you
I like the pan knobs idea....would definitely add a great element to this
The knob pan below each input level knob should be on all two xlr input device 🤤@@ObscureMics
I've been a fan of Creative Labs since the SoundBlaster 16.
Me too
It's nice to simply see something nostalgic that works well
I absolutely love this device the time that I've had it, but there is one thing that I don't like about it, but I think it's a driver issue. This device prevents my screensaver from activating.
Woah that's a weird one
Looks interesting, unfortunately, no additional outputs makes it quite limited. Balanced TRS goes to monitors and there is no way to further process the signal from the PC. I would rather exchange the second headphone out for that.
Can't argue with that
Can you recommend a good audio interface with good monitoring and ultra-low noise with 48v for the condenser microscope? Thank you
This for one. Honestly its hard to NOT go for one of the name brands, even on the cheap end, as interfaces are mostly great these days
@@ObscureMics which is better this one or Yamaha? Thank you
I like the Yamaha since there's eq and compression
Don't really need another audio interface but damn I want this lol
I feel that. I have so many I like...and I'm trying to figure out if this should eliminate some of them
Can you plug the usb-c into a power adapter and have it work that way or do you have to run it through a computer?
You SHOULD be able to power it with an adapter. I will check this evening
were you able to test this out?
I tested out can work with usb c from a Samsung charger.
Does the driver install itself in windows or I have to download and install?
It installed itself for me
This vs Focusrite Vocaster?
I think that comes down to whether or not you'll ever use instruments.
But can you drum on those like creative keyboard
Sadly....no
Creative Labs is still in business?
Apparently so!
Welp, if my Behringer UMC404 dies this is another option
It's got me flustered.....what to do with some of my other devices?
Oh Gee!

Similar in form design to the SSL 2+ which is my go-to with some pros and cons. I like how they put the headphone jacks in the front - don't understand why SSL did not do the same. I don't like how Creative only has one phantom power switch and they place the switch in the back. Creative also puts the Line/Inst switches in the back. SSL has separate +48 switches for their mic pres and they place both the phantom power and Line/Inst switches on the deck of the unit which is super convenient. But, you pay $100 more for the SSL. Agree that the A3 could stand to have more headroom. Other than that, looks pretty sweet. Good value.
Pretty much my thoughts...word for word. Nothing's really breaking....as its better than most. But so close to perfect
I just can't find any reason to buy this one. Imo there are more cheaper audio interfaces that can serve better.
Do not disagree. I think it comes down to the little things....and this one hits a lot of those for me
ASIO ou pas ASIO ??
Believe so
