I built my own stereo dynamic mic preamp back in '09. 1 2n3904 and a handful of resistors and caps per side. Clean (couldn't record any hiss), mono/stereo and thin/phat contour (again, per side). Has way more than enough gain to swamp any line input. With a few more parts, you can also add in switchable dynamic/condenser mic abilities.
It would be interesting to try this little mixer with a condenser mic. Some Dynamics can tend to be a little dark sounding. Also are having a little trouble with plosives. You can put either a nylon stocking in front of it suspended in a needlepoint hoop if you want to go budget or get one of the foam microphone pop filters. Either one will work. Have an excellent day from a former Buckeye now a Hoosier.
Sweet Water. Thanks. I’ve never heard of them. And I’m like you, I try to find the closest companies to home to order from. Might be worth a drive one day coming up.
Sweetwater is great! They called me after I bought my guitar pedals and wanted to know how everything was going and if I was satisfied! No better customer service!!! They are top notch at what they do....and you won't find cheaper prices.
if you use a Microphone Preamp you can bring up the gain level of the microphone way more then what you got there.. you place it in-between the Microphone and the Audio Interface, and your good to go. There are some cheap ones and more expensive one (like the Cloudlifter). The one i went with is the "sE Electronics DM1 Dynamite Microphone Preamplifier". it's not as costly but very effective. Not doing a commercial.. just making a suggestion that could get your gain game up substantially (& make the volume of your voice way louder with out the hiss)
I have a question, is your computer grounded? Because I can hear that annoying static coming through the recording, and that would be very problematic if one is using it to simulate guitar amps as it would be amplified to Armageddon... Hopefully it can be eliminated..
can you tell me wht the settings were when you started recording on audacity? my audio when I record and play back is so soft I'm using an sm58 mic. so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong
Just got this interface didn't come with software I'm just trying to get my xbox audio to come thur audacity I plugged the xbox red in white cables to the interface i plugged a headphone up to the interface I can hear the audio but I'm losted at how do i can the sound into my PC audacity program
I got an old scartlett 2i2 for my HS5's, I used to be into music production so balanced audio was the reason I wanted an external sound card. How comes you are interested in these? Do you make music also or another use for it? Hope you are good bro??!! Ohhhh that sound quality when you swap over, sounds a lot nicer than the cam mic. Maybe a pop guard could help some of the breathing stuff its picking up, i guess coz of the extra sensitivity of the peavy mic. Damn you could read audio books with them silky tones
I have really no need for it but because it is only 29.00 bucks I want it. I'm a terrible singer with no musical ability. Maybe this will help me sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
i want to buy this just to make it like a playback device or just to monitor the mainstage audio out to the monitor speaker,would you think this would be good？
Hi, you mentioned that this is a 3-channel mixer. Does that mean it is okay to connect say a condenser microphone to that 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) input and a keyboard to the Input 1 (1/4 inch) with a guitar to the Input 2 (1/4 inch) all at the same time? If that is so, I guess the volume gain for Input 1 will control the volume level for both the condenser mic in the 1/8 inch input and the keyboard in the 1/4 inch input at the same time? Any feedback here will be really helpful. Thank you very much.
Sadly yeah. Both are Input 1, so the Input 1 gain controls the volume of both. Which means you will have to work around this by adjusting the volume coming into the interface from your condenser or keyboard itself. (Assuming either or both has controls for that, atleast.)
If I was just starting out with recording my guitar, would this be alright, or would you recommend the M-Track Solo from M-Audio for budget purposes? I'm a descent by ear player, but not in Satriani territory and won't be for a minute. Hooyah Navy (Sub vet).
For gigs we use a Mackie 408 8 channel 400W main 400W monitor, but tie them together for 800W to the FOH drivers. Then we take a feed before the power amp section and it goes to a 1000W Class D Crown amp for the subs. We use Sienhieser(sp?) in-ear monitors. BUT!!!! but but but......I AM going to use this little guy for mixing the close mike for the kick drum and room mike for the rest of the kit and feed the output into the Mackie. So what I guess I am saying is yes, I will? I dont know
For voice microphone, it's okay. But for an Electric Guitar with VST Effects, latency is so much to the point that it's useless. I have tested with 2 decent Computers with Windows 10.

Double dipping on comments. Can you confirm that this will work with a DAW, as in most? Some are saying its not really an interface and doesnt work with a DAW.
Plugged mine into my computer and I get NOTHING. Be Nice if some of you doing these videos would go into the PC HOOK UP and how to make it work. TOO MUCH OTHER BULLSHIT
Nice video. Thanks for the "tour" of the Q-12. You have lots of good info, here. If you're curious, I put a cheapie Staratocaster, with a ceramic magnet pickup, sound, through the Q-12. Here is a link to what it sounds like. I had to EQ quite heavily, to get a good sound. (PS: I do have to find some mildly humorus irony in the hyper macho patriotic theme, in you video, while de facto promoting a Chinese product. Funny stuff. Cheers !!) ua-cam.com/users/shortstJ2R0GJZ3vE
This "equipment" is a big fraud! You will always have direct monitoring on, and sometimes it is not desired at all. Additionally it doesn't use ASIO drivers, so I don't need you to tell that the lag is horrible.
It's a good interface to use a quality mic. Sounds and looks good.

Worth looking at Thomann, as they're the big seller in Europe.
Paul, I use all of my MXR effects pedals, from Sweetwater...Great company!
I was literally looking for a good one less than 12 hours ago.

It works well with guitar too
Hi friend, how do you record both inputs into 1 channel on your DAW?
Thanks!
Muffled sound and ET settings? Flew that one right over my head at 500 knots..... What is the fix?
those outputs could you run them to a guitar amp.?
Just got this interface didn't come with software I'm just trying to get my xbox audio to come thur audacity I plugged the xbox red in white cables to the interface i plugged a headphone up to the interface I can hear the audio but I'm losted at how do i can the sound into my PC audacity program

did you test the tiny 3.5mm mic jack? would it work with a vmoda boom pro
I have really no need for it but because it is only 29.00 bucks I want it. I'm a terrible singer with no musical ability. Maybe this will help me sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Let me know if it does, I could use that as well!
No don't say that man.. ... GOD made us, All things bright and beautiful... God bless you
What are drivers for Teyun Q12?
It's driverless. It's plug-and-play on a Windows machine. It probably works on Linux and Mac too. (Don't quote me on that.)
Good morning;
is it possible to connect teyun q12 to a mixing console?
i want to buy this just to make it like a playback device or just to monitor the mainstage audio out to the monitor speaker,would you think this would be good？
no mobile input option for karaoke?

Do these work with an iPhone or iPad?

It's digital. 1s and 0s you will be fine. Fair winds and following seas shipmate.
Bouta snag one, my $100+ Scarlett solo has shit the bed after one podcast episode lol
Would it work for plugging in two drum modules so I can mix them in together then run my headphones?
It should
Would it work in mac OS 10.5.8 ?
I use a small Behringer mixer for the same purpose. That will be perfect for your gigs. ☮️

@@learnelectronics
Well, that was a complete answer. 😎
does it work on mac?
This was great Paul! Thank you, I have the 2I2, which is also great. However, this product is a great choice for the beginner/budget contentious.
really? I have the 2i2 and I would never compare one to the other. This is a toy with a lot o lag, direct monitoring always on, etc..
Asio based?
For voice microphone, it's okay. But for an Electric Guitar with VST Effects, latency is so much to the point that it's useless. I have tested with 2 decent Computers with Windows 10.
I'm a fender tube amp kinda guy.
