Many thanks for checking CONNECT 6 out and for putting together such an amazing review! Great performance!
It was my pleasure. It really is THE ALL-IN-ONE interface 🤘🔥
really enjoyed your review and video and nice track as well. putting this audio interface on my list :)
Thanks, Mikalyn.
Wow! Great review & performance!
Aah, thanks, Valerie 😊🙏
great work as usual ! very interesting product. I really like lewiit, they are really helping competition in the low end
Thanks. Yeh, they’re pretty much resetting the standard (and quality) of the budget friendly market.
Excellent review.
nice review and beautiful song.. positive lyrics
Thank you 😊🙏
Awesome review! Can’t wait to try one out.
Thank you. Yes, it’s a winning interface for sure.
@@EdThorne I just want to say you have an awesome channel! Top quality content for sure. I hope to one day get to that production level on my channel. Any advice?
@@homestudioacademy Thank you. Depends which bit of the production you want to improve; audio, video, scripting, presentation, editing, etc?
@@EdThorne filming and video editing mostly. Overall just advice for growing the channel.
This looks great! I'm in dire need of a new interface too.
I'll message you.
Yay... another good review on this one is what I needed. How would you compare this to the id14 or the Evo 16 that you reviewed? Seems like DSP and all that software interface is what sets it apart.
Thanks 🙂🙏 The Connect 6 has all the I/O and monitor routing the iD and Evo has - and then some with the mobile device connectivity. The auto gain works like the Evo’s Smart gain, and just as well as far as I can tell. It’s hard to tell the preamps apart but this may make for a good video… It’s definitely the most competitive two channel interface under £255/$299!
Hi. Nice review (and nice song, by the way). In spite of you mentioning Lewitt did not fine tune the Connect6 for the instrument inputs -- I guess they forgot to tell me about that -- and because the inputs on the Control software mention Instrument, I used it with a passive bass -- a 64 Hofner violin bass -- and a 69 Telecaster. Both of them with great results. In fact I had to turn the bass gain quite down to avoid overloading the input. This was simply through a high quality TS jack to TS jack cable. I also used the outputs of an H9, into the jack inputs, non balanced with similar results.
Thanks. That’s not quite what I said, though. I said Lewitt didn’t integrate a Hi-Z (high impedance) circuit. The line-ins will still work for for active instruments. The lower impedance of these inputs is why you’ve had to gain down heavily.
Is this faster than the original babyface or the motu m4 in terms of latency? Can you load a lot of VSTs to record audio without too much delay? How is the noise floor compared to that?
I also have the audient evo 4 but it’s not good enough i think
Great review as always. I can't decide between focusrite 2i2 gen3 and volt 2. However, if I can increase my budget a little more, I'm stuck between lewitt connect 6, ssl 2+ 2 and audient id14 mk2. What would your options be for both of these situations? Is 96khz feature a noticeable disadvantage for ID14 and lewitt connect 6 because others are 192khz.
Hi there. Thanks. The 96k limitation on the Audient’s is not a problem. I’d suggest the Volt 276 if you want a compressor or the iD series if you want more monitor control (with the iD App)
First of all, many thanks. It's been a long time since the video was posted, but you're still trying to help. I don't have money to buy a monitor right now. I will get it later. I really like the headphone part and features of the ID14MK2. It's a pity that there is no keyboard input but I plan to go with a midi keyboard so it's not a big deal. The ID14MK2 might sound a bit more appealing now that it's on sale. Others are 1.5 times more expensive (they are not on sale) and I can buy my microphone for that price difference.
Great review as always... New at this and I'm just confused regarding the need of a DI box to record guitar. My main use for this would be to record electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals. Seems perfect for the latter two but maybe not for the electric guitar. Am I missing something... or rather, what am I missing regarding the "no Hi-Z"?
I'm debating between this Lewitt, the Audient ID14 or 24 and the AUD Volt 276. I had actually purchased the Apollo Twin but returned it because it was way beyond my abilities... to say nothing of the cost.
Many thanks.
PS. Really sad about the no right handed version. 😉
Haha, you really did pay attention watching this, thanks.
The Hi-Z is for high impedance inputs, such as electric guitars/electric basses. A DI box will do what a hi-Z does which is to step the input level down to line-level, which your preamp needs. Just as a preamp boosts a weak signal up to line-level, a DI/Hi-Z trims hot signals down to line-level. This will only matter if you’re plugging in guitars directly. Microphones and most DI’d acoustics won’t need this.
Is it possible to run audio from a mac to an ipad and monitor ipad?
I own the microphone from Lewitt LCT 440 Pure and iD4 Audient and I don't know what to choose between Connect 6 and iD14 mk2 Audient like upgrade mine. I really like both of them and i intend to buy one! Do you think is an upgrade like latency,sound quality/converters? I just need good quality recording and to record Auto-Tune in real time with low latency. Do u think I need a dsp audio interface like Apollo or Antelope with internal effects or the new one audio interfaces will be enough? Thanks a lot Ed!
I’ll be honest, if you can afford an Apollo Twin (or above) - buy one! Their DSP is far more advanced. BUT if your budget is between this and an iD14mkii…. I’m leaning towards the Connect 6 because the EQ and compression is so flexible! The Audient pres are definitely more coloured with a fuller sounding low end if you want that sound.
@@EdThorne Thanks a lot!
No High Z input killed it for me I don't get why they didn't add that. Even cheap behringer interfaces have High Impedance inputs for guitars.
Great Song Bro!!! Where can I buy it?
You’re very kind, thank you. I’m finishing the recording and mixing of the full band production very soon.
A Rhodes killer. Or Rhode Killer? Great content.
Is it possible to put a hall or echo Effect for live singing streams?
Sadly, not. I’m sure Lewitt will add that on an update.
For a voice over, podcast and other recorded vocals..not live streaming or music stuff .. for max 2 mics input need which is the best interface under 300 ..lewitt 6 or audient id14 or ssl2 or motu M2 ?
It’s PERFECT for live streaming (albeit, it needs a reverb/delay plugin). This video reviews all those interfaces: ua-cam.com/video/W8JFMyJKHfY/v-deo.html
@@EdThorne you chose audient ...and I see it is nice ..but with the add of lewitt ..is audient still ur winner? And for a voice over ..does the sound quality or the software package differs?
This feels like it's playing right in the same ballpark as the Presonus Revelator io24 - the Lewitt has a lot more input options, but the Revelator has a few more built-in effects options and (at least right now) is half the price. Have you had any thoughts about Presonus interfaces in the past?
I’ve only used a Presonus Audiobox iTwo and didn’t like it. The input gain pots weren’t linear and jumped in large increments.
I'm just really looking for a good interface for recording instrumental high gain prog style music...have been looking at the Evo 8 but I don't have C to C USB...so many options my head's mashed....any advice would be greatly received....Also I'm going direct into interface using Neural Dsp plugins for guitar sound
Hi Jason, most USB interfaces also run off USB-C-A. In some instances the lower power delivery of this cable (vs a C-C) can cause reductions in headphone amplifier power/quality, but it’s marginal.
@@EdThorne thanks Ed really enjoying your channel 👍🎸
@@JAYAT100 Thanks, Jason 🙂🤘
Marvelous work as always. Said it before and I'll say it again, Ed is the ONLY one on UA-cam who could have his own TV programme. I'm a huge Lewitt fan, let me see if I understand this properly (I have no idea what DSP means), am I able to use Eq/Comp on the way in??
It seems an amazing piece of kit, and the pricepoint is excellent, as is always the case with Lewitt.
Thank you 🙏
Yeh, I seemed to have forgot to explain what DSP is/means… ooops: Digital Signal Processing.
Yes, the processing is printed with the audio.
@@EdThorne Don't worry Ed, that's not on you, it's on me for not knowing after all this time haha, it's not like it would be hard for me to research it... 👍
Can I have multiple synths and vocals and guitar and preform live with studio sound or if not can I route a PA thru into this device ?
It’s only a two channel device. Sounds like you might need a Volt 4/Audient iD44
@@EdThorne is it SD c and and no computer
And phone compatible with recoding live without latency
@@strangesevin Yep
Nobody is commenting on the audio out quality. How does it sound in the monitors compared to lets say the id14mkii?
I comment on this about 11/12mins into the video. The Connect 6 is very good, as good as the iD44, if not better.
Does this integrate with a blue yeti microphone?.
Is that a USB mic? If so, no. Any standard XLR connected mic, yes.
for anyone new to lewitt; their 441 flex is basically a poor mans tlm 103… at least in terms of specs
Wait so you can use this to record on GarageBand on an iPad?
Absolutely! One power cable to power the unit, the other to connect to your iPad (both cables included).
Dang, that’s dope! Didn’t know pre amps like that existed.
LOL :P Control 6, huh? :)
Audient id44 mkii Or motu mk5 ultralite 😅?
Connect 6 (unless it’s 4 channels you specifically need then either iD44 or Volt 476)👌
@@EdThorne thank you 😊, I'm looking for multiple in and out,,,, but my main concern are the quality of preamp, converters, latency and drivers, is the lewitt connect 6 is better than the motu mk5 ultralite and audient id44 mkii on those characteristics, thank uuuuuuuuuu
@@MyKhalilovic Refer to the RTL chart in the members area of my website. They’re all very similar at this price point in terms of performance in the other areas you mentioned. The software makes the really Lewitt stand out though!
Ah, Nice 😀 .. but ... you really should put vocals up higher on your skill set 👍
You’re very kind, thank you🙂🙏
The audio on this video sucks, sounds muffled or muddy.
Yet he has no videos on his channel or experience of video production himself… well done 🙌🏻👏🏻
Interface ist only for streamer AND gamer! Useless for musicians and music producer.
Who's recording comp or maximizers into a audio track directly? The big knob is wobbling like a toy. The display is mirroring like hell. Phone out is too low. Software is beta or alpha. And I am not sure if this device has direct Monitoring
Can not recommended this device as a musician.
I don’t know about maximisers, but compression is very very commonly applied on the way in in actual studios I’ve been to - not usually a huge amount, but it’s there.
@@Superdelphinus for a real time speaker for sure you need a pretty compression. But recording a vocal for a music track is different. When compressing previously , then you destroy the ability to perfectly fit the voice into the mix. There is no reason to compress before recording in a recording studio. 48/44khz and 24bit are noiseless enough to record the dynamic range with a condenser mic. You tubers need soft cliping/ limiting instead of compression much more. As I say this device is for mixers, interviewers, moderators or you tubers.
To be honest design wise it’s crap
How exactly? In terms of aesthetics or electronic design? I’ve reviewed a lot of interfaces and it performs VERY well!
