🔥Which audio interface is your favorite? Comment here!
Kinda always been a fan of the Focusrite stuff!
Native instruments 💚
Nice!
The presonus c series it's amazing, it doesn't feels as outdated as the audio box series, great design and amazing preamps, I bought an PreSonus 1810c for like $250 in a sale and it's the best purchase I have ever made
I had a Presonus audiobox and I was pretty happy with it.I sold it though to get something else and now I am considering getting a different one! Your video will definatelly be of help deciding which one!
you can tell this guy cares about his content. as a viewer, i appreciate it. subscribed.
Thanks for that compliment and for subscribing.
I sub to all of them. Best to know who is who. Like the old school says...keep your friends close...and your enemies closer...lol relax you all. Too much strees these days...
Same
And it's going to hurt badly!
It’s so true! I did as well
Thanks for being someone who goes beyond the specs sheet and actually cares about what they SOUND like. It's really important to me trying to put together a minimal but hopefully great sounding set-up.
Thanks so much...great compliment
I like how you didn't just point out the sound, but also talked about the daily use of the knobs ands such. Thanks for sharing your input!
You did it again! I currently use my iRig keys IO 25 for my interface and I love the build of the M Audio 2x2 and went on the hunt for the 2x2m with the midi IO as well. The knob is everything!
Having engineered and produced many years ago, now wanting to get back to music with a small home studio, this was a GREAT overview. Thanks a lot!
Great to hear that. Thanks for the comment
Informative, easy-going, unpretentious, the time-stamps are highly appreciated to get to the bits one is interested in and, if that's not enough, he sounds like an American guy I once met in a bar in Hong Kong who told me he didn't want to always work his ass off, because he also wanted to have time to go to the beach. What more can you ask?
Really enjoy your comparison reviews.Thanks for putting these together .
Nice overview on the interfaces. When my first gen Scarlett 6i6 stopped working, I ended up swapping it for the Zoom U-44 interface that I bought for mobile use. Turns out to be a good workhorse. There are gain levels for mics and instruments, and volume levels for monitors and headphones plus separate mute buttons for each volume level, I am considering stepping up to the UAD Apollo line in 2020, but now taking a really hard look at the MOTU M4 interface, which I’d like to see and read reviews on. As ever, thanks again!
Thanks 🙏🏼 btw, I really love my Apollo interface. I have the Apollo 8. Excellent preamps and software.

I've got a Behringer up from this one, the UMC404, which has four combo mic/line inputs, each with an insert in the back. It's decent, and I actually used it for live sound at a few shows, so it's versatile. But there are annoying things about it. The inputs seem to clip at a ridiculously low level, and its main outs also feel weak (weaker than the playback outputs). The knobs feel OK but they're not intuitively placed.
I love your positive demeanor, your evenhanded reviewing style, and overall approach! Looking forward to more of your content.
Thanks! From the little bit of music and voice at the end, the NI, Steinberg and Focusrite definitely sounded the best (to my ears)
wow, i love how you go over things so thoroughly
I really can't believe how concise and voluminous your information is. The video footage is VERY well done, the hands on shots pointing out features is very good--sometimes a bit out of focus, but definitely worth watching. Thanks for doing such a great job.
Hey thanks so much. Always trying to bring you better and better videos.
I got a Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD around 3 years ago for $80 from Amazon (basically a 2-channel mic input version of UM22). Works great with Live, Logic, Mac, or PC and supports 192k. I use a Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40 for main studio I/O. Both interfaces are not perfect, but very good.
My behringer 404 is no longer recognized by Garage Band or Bitwig DAW. Have you had any issues with your behringer? I can run inputs and can hear through my headphones. I can't select Behringer as my input when I'm in either GB or Bitwig.
I love how detailed your videos are. Providing us with all the necessary information we need to make sound decisions when it comes to choosing our audio gear. Much love from Fiji bro.
Thanks so much! Much love to Fiji!!!
Thanks so much for the video, was unsure of which interface to get for myself. Ended up purchasing the Komplete Audio 1, it a great interface
Awesome video. I just got the Scarlett solo 3rd gen...sounds great recording my guitar. Thanks for the video, Sanjay!
You're welcome! Thanks for coming back to my video and giving me the positive feedback!
Before today I don't think I'd ever *heard* of an audio interface. Thanks to you, I can now shop around with a working knowledge of features I need. You're an excellent teacher, Sanjay! All the best to you!
Thank you Krista!
Great video Sanjay! Love how informative and objective you are. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
I just started this video and want to say Thank you!! Because I already know that this is going to be so helpful!
Thank you so much for the video! It made me chose the Steinberg UR12 and I was so lucky to chance upon a UR242(display set) for usd 65.
PS: I was actually shocked for a moment that the single input resulted in a left-only channel until I realize that it's the PC that have been auto-setting the mono channel to stereo all these times... Sometimes you only find out the truth when he start dealing with it more.
You're welcome. Yes, you will discover the best/right way to use the interface as you practice with it. Glad I could help. Good luck!
I also have the UR-12 from Steinberg. No complaints so far.
just picked up with ur12, loved the sound with good bonus cubase ai, halion se and groove agent.
In the behringer, tascam guitar sample you can hear when the fret fingers leave the strings at the same volume than the strum, so the guitar was softly played in comparison of the other samples.
Very good video man! Well laid out and very organized! You made my researching for a budget interface much easier. Thank you! Cheers!
Glad I could help!
I’ve had a passion for music for a long time and I’m just starting to get myself all the right equipment. You’ve have been very inspiring as well and helpful in the start of my music making career. Thank you so much Sanjay! I think I’ll go with the native m1 to pair with my native instruments I already have 😁
You have such a calming voice..
Thank you
wicked... i was looking for a review for the new m-audio air series interface... good timing man thanks
Nice! Glad I could help. What do you think? Gonna get it?
@@SanjayC Don't know yet... it's between Native, M-Audio and Focusrite... I own Maschine Studio so... Was wondering you left out PRESONUS STUDIO 24C. Nvm you answered my question below lol thanx
@@m-chopbeats7526 Which one did you get? after this I am torn between Native, M-adutio and Presonus 24c. Solo doesnt have headphone knob so its out for me.
@@robertilles724 Whenever it works for my budget I will probably go with Audient, UAD, or a focusrite
@@StephenBanks aye thats what i found as well about m audio 2x2. And as i read its probably the same. I did some research and ended up with motu m2 it will arrive tomorrow. Its Quite double price as the ones mentioned here and what i wanted to spend on it but íve seen nice rewievs about it, só i hope the best.
Really well made video, thank you for the effort! Really appreciated the audio quality tests at the end
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the advice! This really helped me decide what I will be wanting
Glad it was helpful!
Dear sir I Always watch your Video
Very Motivational for everone .
I m a voice actor . I want to Buy Audio Interface for voice . So please Suggest me which Audio Interface is Best for me
I love the Focusrite and Native Instruments interfaces a lot. Get a good mic that’s suited to your voice. I like the SM7B for voiceovers. Check it out ua-cam.com/video/BoNJ8t_Xft8/v-deo.html
Sanjay C ok Thankyou Sir
Came here for a quick in and out ended up watching the whole video, liked and subbed because this dude really cares about his content and audience
I really appreciate that. Thanks, The Flash!
you're such an awesome reviewer you answered all of my questions before I could even ask them! thank you for your help
Thanks so much, Alona! :-D
Excellent video, I love that there are subtitles because I don't really speak English much

This was a super useful video SanjayC! Thank you!!
Thanks!
Dear sir i have old laptop lenovo window 7

love your every video so much Sanjay! Keep it up!
Thanks Js Yong! :-D
Thanks a lot!!! i have an OLD M-Audio Fast Track that i have been using for over 13 years, and i finally am committing to upgrading, and was unsure of which to go with. Between this video and another one you produced, i think i have it narrowed down. So thank you!!
Glad I could help!
Omg thank you so so much! Just found you on UA-cam and your videos are soooooooo helpful! You explain so well (im not a tech person hehe) that i am able to understand technical stuff. I am finally going to start my mini studio 😇
What an amazing video Sanjay. The effort you put in the videos really inspires me. Kudos!!
Thanks bro!
@@SanjayC welcome bro!!
This is the video I desperately needed , bless you
Awesome! Glad you found me! :-D
Lol
thank you for the information. Happy New Year
Watching some of your videos all week... Well,I'm subscribed now,this is fire 🔥
The Steinberg UR-12 does have a direct monitoring knob. And also, it’s compatible with iOS devices. The sound quality is really great for its price.
I wish more companies would place the mic inputs on the back like M-Audio. Let's face it, most of us are plugging our mics in and leaving them plugged in so front inputs just clutter up the desk with cables.
Thanks and very helpful. Will share your video with my students. The bigger M Audio was my first choice but the interfaces that come with the free Pro Tools bundle might be a good consideration just because it is an industry standard for pro studios. This means , if you're a vocalist, voice talent, or session back up singer, you can actually send your home vocal session as a package to a bigger studio as a session file for mixing.
Learning so much on your channel! Keep on makin em!
Glad to hear it!
Sir which audio interface is really good for me ? I need interface for voice over .
Any of my top recommendations from this video would be great. I like the Focusrite, Presonus and Native Instruments brands a lot - I have lots of experience with them.
wait... but you asked and got an answer.. and replied.. 10 months ago. :/ hmmmm

This is the most underrated channel. Duuuude we gotta get you millions of subs!
Thanks so much!
such a good quality content from you! I appreciated it a lot!
My pleasure!
Great video. Thanks for your insights. Cheers!
Nice review. I think the M-Audio give the better sound, the most powerful, the Focusrite give also a good sound. I'll Buy a M-Audio
M-Audio is a great choice!
you should do 'Top 10 Budget Guitar Tuners' next!! Haha!
Good vid, good info!
Super helpful, keep it coming
Thanks, will do!
Great job! Thanks!
Sanjay, thank you for this video. This is exactly what I need to select the correct A.I.
Awesome! I love to hear that. Which one are you picking?
Sanjay C I think I repeated 12:19 about 20 times , but I like how native sounds.
Yeah, I think the NI sounds excellent.
Thanks, I'll go for the Focusrite
You're welcome! 🙏
Thank you so much!!! Thank you this was so helpful! I think I might get the scarlet focusrite 212 or the komplete audio
Excellent video ! Very informative. Liked and subscribed.
Man, your channel is priceless, I wish I had financial opportunity to repay you for all the amazing advices you give for free. And as soon as I get it, you're one of, if not THE, first people in the list. Thank you so very much and have my like and comment to hopefully boost your amazing channel!
Hi Muisance! I really appreciate that nice comment. I do this because I love it, and I had a difficult time when I first started music production. So I want to give back to people who are starting as well.
12:59 that tascam sounds amazing!
lol 😂
ur the best sanjay wen it comes to music production based guidance, knowledge sharing, reviews and comparison videos. thanxxx so much dear.
Lol am I the only one that loves the Audiobox's knobs?! They're my favorite, I find then sturdy and looks good.
I wait so much for this information!! You are the best!!!
Hi Itay. Which one will you get?
Man u lit !!! thx from Chile
Thanks dude!
Wena kliao
Viva Chile ctm
Thanks a lot, it helped a bunch! I am a new audiobook narrator and this helped me picked the interface that complement my voice right away!
Glad it helped!
Cheers man! After watching this I've ordered a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1. For the next couple of weeks you get a free copy of Guitar Rig Pro 5 on top of all the software you mentioned. Easy decision!
The "Air" feature on Focusrites interfaces isn't emulating a high end interface but their ISA Preamps from back in the day.
i need help with downloading the drivers. it tells me to fix or delete it every time! can u help?
I watched to get an idea of how these would power headphones with a 250ohm impedance. I was a bit disappointed that after the first interface, you stopped commenting on that despite mentioning it in the intro.
Have you purchased any audio interfaces yet?
I was thinking the same thing 🤔
Excellent review and comparison, thanks for making and sharing it.
You’re welcome!
Thanks so much for all the information , Really complete and very professional presentation ! Thanks
You're very welcome!
Most the 2 channel audio interfaces seem to be too much of a compromise, so yes I highly recommend spending a little bit more to get the next level (or two) up. I researched a while and kept coming back to the Behringer UMC404HD because it was cheap and feature-ful. For $135 street price, you get 192KHz, 24 bit, 4 mic/instrument/line inputs with better gain (and pad button to cut gain for hot inputs) than the cheaper Behringer models, proper headphone in/mix monitoring, send channels (for external processors), midi in/out, 4 outputs (2 main, 2 alternate - using XLR, TRS, and/or RCA). It works on PC/Mac/iOS. It will run off USB power, but with iOS, you'll want to use the AC adapter (included). It has all the pro features of bigger units, for not much more $$. A good choice for me at least.
404hd or 204hd??
@@junpreet9261 If you know for sure all you need is 2 channels, the UMC202HD is great - same quality as the UMC404HD. But if you are new to doing home recording and think you'll only need 2 channels, more likely you will quickly find the UMC202HD is limiting, but 4 channels on the UMC404HD isn't so much. I would only buy a 202 because I need a small cheap 2 channel device. Otherwise I would suggest the 404 any day over the 202. The UMC202HD is about 1/2 the price of the 404 now (about $90 for the 202 vs. $170 for the 404). But as they say, buy what you can afford. The only down side about the 404 vs. the 202 is 2x the size and 2x the price.
Regarding 2 vs. 4 channels. Why does this matter? If you want to record 2 mono instruments (guitar and a microphone, or 2 microphones for a pod cast), 2 channels is fine. If you want to record 2 stereo instruments (a pair of synths) or more than 2 mono instruments, you will need the 404.
I recently upgraded to a UMC1820 which is effectively like the UMC404HD but with 8 channels. No HD, though which means no 192KHz. Very few people need 96KHz or 192KHz - if you don't know why you care, then you don't need it - 44.1Hz or 48Hz is perfectly fine. My other upgrade was to buy a Presonus StudioLive 32R (rack mount 32 channel in/out mixer which also works as a 32 channel audio interface). I use the UMC1820 for my iPad, and the StudioLive 32R for my Mac. All my synths (up to 16 stereo synths) can connect to the 32R at once, no swapping cables or even using a patch bay. Yes, expensive and perhaps overkill, but I mention this as an example that if you buy lots of stuff that you want connected all the time, you can never have enough ports.
BTW, the UMC1820 is about $280 right now. It has basically 8 ins/outs but expandable to 16 ins/outs using ADAT connected to something like a Behringer ADA8200 ($220). The UMC202HD and UMC404HD do not have ADAT expandability, but the UMC1820 does, which helps future proof it a little bit.
So, I go back to my original comment that for the price, the UMC404HD with 4 in/outs might be just enough to make the difference but still cheap enough to not break the bank. Figure out your budget and buy the most ports you can afford, unless, again, you know for sure you only need 2 ins/outs.
For a beginner, I’ll be honest, I’d recommend going with something bigger. I really struggled scaling my audio interface to record live performances and play live with my computer. If you get a device with 2 stereo outputs (I went with the Scarlett 2i4), you can have seperate outputs going to your ears, which means the world! I really regret going with my original audio interface, because I only used it for about 6 months before scaling up. I couldn’t be happier with my scarlett too! The latency is super low and it’s super useful. It’s worth thinking that if you ever think you’ll want to play live, you’re gonna need 2 stereo outputs.
Good advice. Thanks for sharing, Lachlan! :-)
Can you recommend me a specific Interface then? I want to record vocals so singing, lead and harmonies. Also in the future guitar if I ever get around to learn it😅 I want to spend my money wisely so give me your tips
Ordered Behringer UMC22 for my instrumental and vocal recording. About to receive it in a week via Air Transit
thank you i just discovered your videos i love to explain very well and very professional
Out of all of them in my opinion native instruments sounded the best
yeah same but m audio comes with rlly good software idk what to do
@@weirdo66636 A channel with the name Julian Krause has a really good M audio review, M Audio isn't just the best styled one but has a lot of pros, more than some other audio interfaces, it also has a lot of power and it able to push most devices without any kind of preamp boost that would increase noise.
I have the M audio air hub and based on it's build quality I can tell M audio is a company that takes pride in their equipment, I'm upgrading to the 192/4 very soon
Another note is if you plan on adding studio monitors the M Audio has 1/4" TRS outputs in the back while the Native Instruments has RCA, a lot of the monitors on the market use a 1/4' balance input whereas the RCA is unbalanced and has more noise
Mobius Dickickus yeah m audio is good but in my opinion if we talking about which preamp sounds better native instrument wins, but for software, and features m audio takes the lead with that
Y’all should try the motu 828x it’s usb and thunderbolt it’s a beautiful interface a lil pricy but it blows a lot of these interfaces out the water
Excellent video, especially the vocal and guitar comparisons at the end. The differences really stand out. I've always used Steinbergs and it's nice to see they stack up well in comparison to the others. M-Audio was also a bit of a shock in a good way, very clear sounding- would probably place that as a close second to the UR 12. While I liked liked the sound of the NI Komplete (you described the colouring of the sound very well), I found it to have a lack of note separation when listening to the chords. Am I just hearing things or does anyone else agree?
Even i use steinberg . I use Ur24c
@@joeljose9428 m-audio vs steinberg
Which do you prefer for sound clarity?
Awesome video. So helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
What a class review! My grandma just passed away yesterday and you still manage to motivate me to go inside of my studio and create something amazing! Thank you.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I hope you continue to find some inspiration in these tough times. Keep MTMYL and keep loving the people who inspire you to make it.
Sanjay C Thank you very much, what's MTMYL? I'm not American. Please describe. 🙏🏼
Wow, you jam packed a load of valuable information on audio interfaces. Excellent video - I felt like you were talking to me. Love your voice.
Aw thanks! That's a great compliment!
I Love Scarlett Focusrite...

Hey Garry, You can This Focusrite Interface 👉 amzn.to/3eK3TVj
HI there. Sorry that I'm late to the party in commenting on this video. I've started my search for an audio interface, and I came across your channel. Your content is great and really helps. Thanks for your work.
Your audio tests helped make my decision, most do voice well, some also do instruments well.
Native instruments is a nice warm tone - winner
Nice‼️So I actually use my apogee duet interface primarily when using MPC Live in controller mode, however before I bought that 6-7 years ago I purchased presonus interface, never used 🤔it’s under my apogee, this review answered an important question for me about the included software Studio one and its included plugs thanks 🙏🏾.
Thanks for the comment BiggWill! Glad I could help!
I still have my Duet from like 10 years ago. That thing is solid as a rock!
JDCareyMusic I agree, no problems with my apogee duet.
I swear, earlier today I was thinking that I need to get an audio interface for my electric guitar cuz my amp sucks, so I went on YT (of course) to see the best ones. Every vid I watched was 15 mins long and useless. Then I was like "Hey, Sanjay will definitely have a video for that. And besides, he always gets to the point easily." And here I am. Thx so much
Haha! Thank you. Hey also check out the interface in my video for guitarists ua-cam.com/video/tc8peMM73O0/v-deo.html
I've been looking for a good audio interface to start a weekly show online. This has been so informative. Thank you mate
Happy to help!
I love how profesional all Your videos are, You are great 🙌
I appreciate your fantastic reviews on all these different gears! However, I do have one question regarding the M-Audio interface. Is there a difference between the AIR 192 | 4 and the 192 | 6 or is it just a newer version?
It's number of inputsand outputs. 192/4 has 2 In, 2Out, 192/6 has 4 IN, 2 Out etc.
Hey Sanjay! How did the Komplete Audio interface do with your Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro’s?
Good review, very useful - Thank you
This was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Try out the UMC204HD - and i bet you will be up for a surprise. Considering the competition.
They have stepped up their game.
(i mean, look at the X-touch ONE, and so on... )

For my own use :P
Another great video definitly suscribing and tryin M-audio
Fantastic reviews of all the popular budget interfaces. Very impressive. Subscribed to your channel. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
i was hopping for your opinion on Audien id4. :D
It was out of the price range of the competition so couldn't include it. But I've heard good things about it.
i don't recommend it, i've tried the m-audio and the audient id4 and garantee you that the m-audio is better, simply because you can stream media at the same time as using a DAW, while the audient uses asio so it's gonna block all audio sources outside of a daw. TO me it's a deal breaker, and not only that but sometimes even when you close the DAW the sound is still blocked, and you'll have to either unplugg the soudcard or restart computer. It's all marketing, get yourself a focusrite and you'll be good
@@UnknownNoobKB Well what i see you are liar. Because i bought Audient id4 and i can stream media when DAW is open. So it wasnt about the audio interface, you just don't know how... Or working for M-Audio or Focusrite. On Audient i can go low as 16 buffer size. No other interface can go that low and mic preamp is excellent. So if i change Audient i'll go for something with DSP like Apollo.
@@drfleka 1) buffer size is more about your computer than about the audio interface, not
2) i still use the audient id4 actually, but i'm more like stuck with it and i still struggle with the problem i mentioned, about the preamps i didn't notice much difference in tone and i have made before and after tests. I'm not denying that itbdoes it's job as an audio interface but the presonus i had was sturdier, the focusrite is kinda simply better in everything to me, and the m-audio being 50euros cheaper does the same job and has a better driver, which enables you to stream media while using daw. I'm no liar i can prove anything i say since as i mentioned I STILL USE THE ID4
@@UnknownNoobKB You can stream audio with Audient id4 also when DAW is open. So i don't see that as argument. You just need to make sample rate and buffer size same in DAW and Windows/Mac audio settings.
Very objective and knowledgeable video 👌
Even though it's hard to compare, since you said different lines in each ai, still this is my opinion on the vocal sample:
M-audio: perfect, no comment
Native instruments: good, warm sound
Tascam: perfect, a bit lower sounding than m-audio, no comment
PreSonus: good, a bit high in treble
Behringer: good, a bit dampened sound
Focusrite: good, a bit high in treble reproduction.
Steinberg: does not sound great
Would you say a dampened sound makes it worse ?
Really high quality video. Comparison audio is always good
Sanjay it is so dope to be able to watch your videos and still shop online with confidence since everything is closed during the pandemic thanks to your awesome reviews, thank you!
So nice of you
The Beyerdynamic 250 ohms aren't soft, its that the Audio Interfaces' low Headphone Output can't power the high impedance headphones.
Am I the only one who feels like the M Audio is the winner?
It look the best as well
@@Gemineye4L agreed
I thought native instrument sounded the best
Agreed. M Audio more brighter to me.
@@adamapoi4334 I ordered the M-Audio 192/4 and its arriving today!!!
