Amazing video, thank you! When I use the auto gain adjustment, I have to use software in post-production to dial it up by quite a bit. Would it be better for me to manually adjust my gain to a higher level during the recording and use less of a gain on the software side of the equation? Thanks!

@ianthegeek 8 месяцев назад

Great video, thank you! I have a 2i2 3rd gen with issues that I'm almost certain are due to a lack of power from my Windows PC. The addition of a separate power source gives me a lot more confidence in the device's ability to keep the clock rate sync'd with my PC.

@obikenobi1906 28 дней назад

Thanks, great power user tips! Hmmm...if speakers are connected directly into Focusrite...but I use Bluetooth speakers how do I connect them? Also if I want to put some effects over vocals/music what is easiest software to use. A lot of people use hardware with effects mapped to buttons so its easy to just hit a button but Id rather not buy hardware - unless absolutely needed - and rather use an easy FX software panel instead...but I don't waste alot of time learning a deep program just so I apply a few fun FX

@1man1guitarletsgo 2 месяца назад

Zane, this is very helpful, thanks for posting! I really need to improve my recordings, and a 2i2 4th Gen bundle (with condenser mic & headphones) looks like a good starting point. If I make a video though, how would I sync the sound to that?

@AudioTechTV 2 месяца назад

I record the audio directly to my computer and then I sync it in my video editing software. Do a few claps at the start and it makes it easier to line things up. If your camera has a line input or mic input then you could use an aux cable from either the headphones output on the 2i2 or a y cable from the outputs on the back and then connect it to your camera.

@JoelsterG4k 8 месяцев назад

I just bought this model, and I have one microphone connected but I can only hear the left side, how can I change it to mono.? Thanks in advance

@AudioTechTV 8 месяцев назад

If you’re talking about when you’re recording and play it back then you just need to record to a mono track or set up the input in your software to only be 1 or 2 not 1+2. If you’re talk about when you’re doing direct monitoring then you just need to press the direct monitor button again until it’s in mono mode. If you’ve linked the two channels together then unlink them by holding down the select button for a few seconds until they are unlinked. All of these things are in the video.

Can I connect 1/4 to the front (Dynamic Mic) at Input 1 and Connect another XLR (Also A Dynamic Mic) at the back of Input 1 at the same time?

@AudioTechTV Месяц назад

No. Once you connect something to the front input it disables the rear input of that channel. Also, using a 1/4” connector for a mic would bypass the mic preamp anyway so the quality wouldn’t be great.

@williamreeve5376 2 месяца назад

So, in your DAW you just select loopback, play whatever audio on the computer and record? No need to run any other cables between the computer and interface to capture computer audio?

@AudioTechTV 2 месяца назад

No need for any cables or anything. The Loopback channel routes the computer audio into your DAW.

I had some doubts. My mic is a hyperx quadcast. DA to connect to it? And what type of input does this interface have on the PC, is it micro HDMI?

The HyperX Quadcast is a USB mic so it won’t connect to an audio interface. The connection on the back of the Focusrite 2i2 is usb c and you can connect it to a usb c or usb 3 port on your computer.

Both the Focusrite and my laptop only have USB C ports, but the Focusrite cable included with this interface is USB A to USB C. Would it be better to 1. Use my own USB C to USB C cable 2. Use the Focusrite cable connected to a docking station with a USB A port or 3. Use the Focusrite cable connected to the USB C on my laptop via a USB A to USB adapter?

@AudioTechTV Месяц назад

You can use your own usb c cable or use the adapter. Either one will work.

@Ofstringandwax 2 месяца назад

I just bought the 2i2. Switched from USB to XLR hoping it would eliminate some of the static and clipping. But now I feel with this interface my vocals are quieter. It's like it doesn't pick up the amount I am projecting. I'm gonna try a few of these tips, but before I dig down a rabbit hole, anyone have any quick suggestions??

@AudioTechTV 2 месяца назад

If you’re using a dynamic mic it could need a lot of gain. You might need to crank the gain. Also if it’s a dynamic mic, you want to be fairly close to it and make sure you speak or sing very strong. If you have a softer/quieter delivery, a dynamic mic may not be the best choice. If this is happening to a condenser, it shouldn’t need as much gain but you still want to make sure you have a nice strong delivery. Also if you’re on windows then go into your windows sound settings and make sure the level for your audio interface is set to 100 (all the way up). And in case you are using an xlr to 1/4” cable, switch that to a xlr male to xlr female cable. The 1/4” connector bypasses the mic preamp so your levels will be low.

@TimexG 2 месяца назад

So basically computer speakers wont work with a scarlet? Mine use the standard mini jack and the scarlet doesnt have a port for them, so I'm guessing my issue is I will need to get 3.5mm to 1/4 adapter to be able to hook up speakers when using ASIO?

@AudioTechTV 2 месяца назад

The computer speakers connected to your computer won’t work with the Focusrite when using Asio. Asio is intended as a low latency driver and all input and output processing is done within the interface. This is the ideal use. If you are going to get an adapter for your speakers, you may want a 3.5mm to Y adapter with 1/4” for the left and right. This way you can connect the speakers to the rear outputs and still have your headphone output available.

@TimexG 2 месяца назад

Did you install the Asio driver for the Focusrite interface? It’s not the one that installs automatically. If you didn’t install it then that’s why you don’t see it as an option for an Asio device.

@rexelsantua7969 4 месяца назад

@AudioTechTV 4 месяца назад

No idea what you mean by this comment. Use XLR for microphones. The XLR input goes to the mic preamp. The mic preamp brings mic levels up to line levels. Use TS or TRS for instrument or line level devices and make sure you use the proper instrument or line setting.
