What did you think of the Teyun Q16?😁
I like when you test garbage audio interfaces. The last joke should be: they are made for recording audio from the bin's insides.
please do you know if Q16 has an ASIO driver? FL studio cant recognize the sound card
Is this device good for recording guitar ?
I just bought the Teyun Q-12 then they come out qith this !!
Watch till the end! 🙂
Hi I have a problem Brand New Q16, when i plug the headphone i hear loud white noise, its very loud even when the volume knob all way down the noise is still noticeable.
This was my experience, as well. I’m not sure there is a remedy to bad preamps…
Hey Dave! I was wondering if you'd recommend using this setup (Teyun Q-12 and Fifine's k688) with a virtual cable software such as voicemeeter, and wondering if you'll do a video about it?
I just posted a video review of the Q16 (see my YT channel). I had similar issues with static and noise, until I tried a different mic cable. The front panel mic connectors are a little fussy with some cables. I think the Q16 is great value for PC-based karaoke, but not a good choice for music production or critical listening.
after usb port got busted on my scarlett gen 3 i ordered mine thinking ooh q-16 thats gotta be even better than q-12 i mean its like +4 right :') hissing and pops n cracks every few seconds like its clipping even with the gain set real low, also when hooked up to cubase i could not get the inputs to record seperately, just got a 'mono' stereo feed with both inputs coming through on left and right equally, ordered an evo 4 now , lil more pricey but couldnt afford to replace the focusrite
Exactly my thoughts and experience. Hope you’re enjoying the Evo 4!
He said that the Q12 is flawed but on the comment of that video he had issues with the cable only
You should try the Q24 next! 24 bit 192khz + metal chassis. I currently have the Riworal(rebranded I guess) iteration and for my use case it seems good enough.
Any issues with it? The price difference between the Q12 and the Q24 is so minimal that you might as well go for the Q24 anyways
@@suitbanter1851 Still using it currently( switched from PC to laptop already), though I recently started having issues with output and with its monitor. Primarily anything that has got to do with it producing audio output from my laptop. Its started to sound robotic(I still haven't took a deep dive into fixing it since I don't use the headphone monitor output from the interface since I can't fully turn off the voice monitoring). Though my mic input is still the same and very good. I still plan to use it along with my laptop's audio jack for audio output.

K688 in usb without interface
Hi Dave! I have the same exact interface, and I faced the issues with the noise during monitoring. Apparently, what solved it was to use a 3.5mm Ground Loop Isolator on the headphone jack on the front. It is inexcusable that it took such a device to make the interface useable, but it is what got it to work fine. I chose this over the Q-12 because of the aesthetics, but failed on its primary function sadly.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Genome! Did the ground loop isolator fix just monitoring, or the actual recording? Because all of the audio itself was busted in my experience!
@@DaveSoltura I had no issues with the recording itself, although that might probably because I use an external mic preamp with my dynamic microphone (Klark Teknik CM-1) which requires me to only set the gain at 25% with the 48V phantom power enabled. I think the noise you experience at close to maximum gain is caused by the noisy preamp the audio interface comes with.
@@NotGenome Interesting that the Klark Teknik does that! I completely agree with your conclusion.
Is there any way to fix this without the ground loop isolator or record perfect audio without the hum hiss noice?
@@SabbirAhmedSaby1.0 unfortunately there is no fix. I have let go of this interface and passed it on as a bad purchase. I got an arturia minifuse 2 to replace it now
Can i still hear my pc audio when my headphones are plugged into the microphone's 3mm jack input?
Hello. Does it have a ASIO driver? For low latency for live performing. Playing VST instruments
No you will listen the clean signal, you can't turn it down, unless you use another output on asio
I have the k688 and condenser microphone both on a xlr set up that I use for voice acting and I actually prefer the k688, only thing is if I'm doing a scene were I'm yelling or loud the mic tends to clip more than a normal mic would. Still love it tho!
I feel the same way! What condenser mic are you using?🙂
@@DaveSoltura I use the tascam tm-80, it's affordable and sounds great!
@@PNJinxTCG Nice! Thanks for mentioning it!
Привет. Когда я подключаю гитару , у меня идут два сигнала, один дисторшен из эмулятора (guitar rig), другой чистый из самой звуковой карты. Как убрать чистый сигнал?😢
hi friend, I have fifine AM8, do you which's better for this mic (Q12 or Q16 or can you hep me recommend different one)? Thanks so much.
Actually I'm finding an audio interface for my singing recording, because without audio interface, my record is a little bit delayed to music beat, so Q12 or Q16 can improve this problem?
@@CamyAudio The Q12 is better! :)
Would you take fifinek688 or rode usb podmic for a podcast?
Can’t go wrong with either!
Can you use the k688 without an interface?
Yes!
I ordered fifine k688 but I'm planning to use it via USB since I'm on budget. I have no problem buying teyun q12, but on fifine k688 is a cheap interface better than USB ?
I initially came up with the Teyun Q12 video because I thought the K688 usb mode was broken, when it turns out it was the cable’s fault. You’ll be fine with just USB + a proper cable. In fact, the preamps may even be better than the Teyun. But the Teyun provides the flexibility of having 2 inputs if you’ll ever need it.
Teyun Q16 have a Di ?
I want it to run backingtrack when live perfomance what do you think ?
Please watch till the end to see my final verdict of this :)
@@DaveSoltura Thank you🙏🏻
Q12 work in Linux?
yes plug and play on my antix linux
Oops i thought I’d be upgrading my Teyun Q12 😂
That’s what I thought, too!😂
I just saw a q12 for jus 675pesos!
Insane!!
Does getting a more expensive audio interface make the sound better comparen to the q12?
Yes, in general! In general, if this is your first interface, you’d want to upgrade to something like a Focusrite Scarlett, at least.
@DaveSoltura what about the filing ampligame sc3? It's more than double the price of the q12 but significantly less than the scarlet. Do you think it'll be worth the upgrade to the ampligame sc3?
@@phonelip6697 They’re sending it in a few weeks, so I’ll reserve my take for then.
@DaveSoltura Great! If you can, could you compare it with the q12 using the K688? I bought that exact setup after watching your video 😅 and I've been looking to upgrade the q12 for a while, but I don't know if the fifine sc3 would be worth it or not audio quality wise
Please try Fifine SC3 with it
When it becomes available in my country, definitely!
what do you think is better the fifine k688 or Maono Pd100 im looking for a buget microphone for voice acting also a interface to go with it. i think the Maono is pretty cool plus it comes with and xlr cable awesome.
The Maono comes with software to customize your voice which the Fifine is plug and play.
I'm biased for how the K688 sounds... but in my country it costs twice as much as the Maono PD100.
If budget is a concern, the PD100 will be more than enough, if you add the Teyun Q12, as well.
If budget is not a concern, I'm a fan of the K688. :)
@@selw0nk I think you're referring to the Maono DM30. Also a good choice!
@@DaveSoltura oh yeah I'll need a stand for the mic too
@@joyfulstarr I got a a cheap $1 mic stand for my K688. It's actually super light so you don't need anything too robust!
do you recommend Q12 or Q16 for guitar recording at home?
You can get away it it with the Q12 but you might be better off getting a better interface like the Behringer UMC204 HD.
