My plan is to use the Focusrite Solo 4th generation to be the interface between the soundboard and a Win10 laptop using OBS. I am hopeful I can get some feedback on my plan. Your video is superb.

    Could you do a video on using the Scarlett 4i4 for reamping guitars while using studio monitors/headphones? (Kinda confused with the output routing)
    Say I want to connect the reamp box to line output 1 and line input 3 (since I'll be using headphones to direct monitor). Would it work out just fine?

    • @AudioUniversity
      @AudioUniversity  3 роки тому +1

      Great idea for a video! Thanks.
      The signal flow would look like this:
      Focusrite Output > Reamp Box Input > Reamp Box Output > Guitar Amp Input > Guitar Amp Speaker > Microphone On Amp > Microphone Output > Focusrite Input
      In your DAW, you route the guitar DI signal out of the interface to the reamp box and into your guitar. You'll be setting up a new track for recording the microphone. Choose whichever inputs and outputs you want, just be sure to set up the correct I/O settings in your DAW.

      You may have to go in preferences like he said in the video. The problem should be solved when you go to your settings. Make sure you have it on "built in output". Then you should hear it through the speakers. If you have it on USB and your midi keyboard don't supply sounds you will need to switch your audio settings.

      Thanks, that is another great video. I've looked into the Radial EXTC already which would be perfect if it was also an interface or could send and receive audio to the DAW via USB. I am using an Apogee Duet as my main interface for guitar in and studio monitors out and have no spare inputs or outputs, therefore trying separately to find an interface that I can use as an outboard FX loop for my pedal shelf/rack - for routing to the DAW as an insert (ideally two channels so I can run pre and post amp pedals via a remote MIDI switcher). The closest thing I have found is the Boss IR-2 although it seems a waste to only use it as an FX loop and I don't know that I can disable both its amp and cab sims together. I might have to bite the bullet and get another primary interface with more IO as well as a reamp box as you suggest. Thanks again, great channel. @@AudioUniversity

I want scarlet to record the karaoke sound directly by using input 2 to get sound from pc together with my vocal coming from input 1. People usually use guitar in input 2 but I want to use karaoke sound to use as input instead of guitar. Of course karaoke can be played in background and fed from input 2 using another mic but why not do it directly for better sound quality?

    The interface I use is the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1, and I want to connect my gaming headset (I'll be switching to studio headphones soon). However, this doesn't work as intended. When I plug the 6.35mm jack into the headphone jack of the interface, I get sound, which seems great. But, my system stops receiving sound from the XLR line input until I disconnect the headphones. I've seen recommendations about "routing" the outputs and inputs correctly, but I'm unfamiliar with this term and unsure how to fix it. I hope someone in this great community can help me with this dilemma. Also, is it possible to turn a mono line input, into stereo by tweaking some settings?

    Do you think an interface like this would be good to use as your main unit from PC to a powered Sub that has 2 passive speakers connected to that , my powered Sub and passive speakers are barely audible if its connected straight to my PC , do you think its that the pc does not recognize the signal or that the power amp in the Sub is blown? .. my audio speakers for PC now is a Z2300 logitech that plugs in to pc via an 1/8 jack , ive tried 1/8 jack cable to all connections on the Sub from PC with no luck , I just want better PC audio more powerful than the z2300 , should I be using an interface or some other unit between pc and Sub/speakers? thanks

    Is there a proper way to disconnect your Scarlett 2i2 4th gen? Or is there something I should do before I disconnect? I heard if you have 48v or phantom power on and you disconnect it could mess up your unit, I heard it’s best to turn it off and then disconnect, is this true?

    I’m trying to connect my AT2020 USB mic to a Scarlett solo third gen 2in 2out 24 bit audio interface. Is this possible? Because at the end of the mic I see only a USB A and but the interface requires a 3 pin XLR? help!

    I have to ask.. can I connect a gauge cable into 1/4 headphones into my interface and run that into my speakers with a frayed connection? It should be okay right? Or do I have to buy 1/4 headphone cable and disconnect one end of the cable and use those wires to use the speakers?

    This was great. However I am really at a loss to setup my system with my mxl condenser mic. I have a usb soundcard connected to an amplifier with speakers connected to the amp. Works great for everything. When I try to connect my M audio Fast Track to my mic I get no sound. Any help is appreciated.

    Great video Audio University!
    One question, did you have to download ASIO in order to get clear sound out of the audio interface?
    When using MME Direct, I noticed the audio (guitar recording) was distorted badly. Only after downloading ASIO was I able to get clear audio out of the interface.

      input level can be adjusted by Windows mixer (or recording device) when using MME to avoid clipping (overloading)
      ASIO has the advantage of bypassing Windows sampling rate conversion (fixed to PCM 16bit/48kHz)

    I'm trying to hookup a Focusrite 2i2 to my new MacBook Pro using Reaper as DAW. I've changed settings on Reaper and MacBook to "Scarlet 2i2" but I can't get sound from microphone. Mic is working and changing levels on MacBook but nothing on Reaper. It's just not working. Any ideas? Thanks
