Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 gen3 REVIEW (Air Mode? Better than gen2?) 

If it's more expensive, newer, it obviously sounds better. Marketing trap. Only a double blind test would tell.

Thanks brain!

Agree, not like the crappy videos made from cheap producers and musicians I. The U.S. that think they can review a product.

true. i saw so many bad videos before i found this

Dude this is a school lecture

@@JulianKrause Hi Julian, does the AIR mode on Focusrite even come close to a real ISA One's sound? I am asking, because I got the Scarlett 2i2 Gen3, and while I like that AIR mode on it, it adds noise. And according to a sales rep, it's just an EQ. Do you have a real ISA One to compare with? Thank you in advance and for the good work!

Thanks a lot! Btw I really liked your review of the Lavalier Go. Seems to be a pretty capable Lav.

The manual is wrong then - they probably only measured to 20kHz, but it does go much further

@@catsfan2937 Interesting. I have never actually tested the actual response. The manual specifies the 20-20000 Hz, so I would assume it was a limitation of the architecture of the ADC and the low pass filter that would have been used with it.

Is this Jason? (if so Hi Jason)

uh, dude. dynamics dont fry with ph48. no beginner has ribbons anyway.

It's an upside indeed. But also dynamics don't fry with phantom power. You got it half right ;)

The “down-side” is a “down-side”. You don’t fry dynamic microphones as phantom power has no effect what so ever on dynamic microphones. The voltage exist between pins 1&2 and pins 1&3. There is no potential difference between pins 2&3. So there is no danger to dynamic microphones. They don’t even see a potential difference. It is only a possible danger to some ribbon mics. But no beginner has ribbon mics. And anyone who does have expensive vintage ribbon mics would know best practices to maintain ribbon mics.

@@protoman247 My SM58 got realy warm/hot once, after having it for 20 mins on 48v phantom. It still worked after that, though.

I have the same question. In my admittedly limited understanding, a possible answer to our question is the fact that you can't boost detail that isn't present in the first place. Since air mode works at level of the signal that is presented to your recording gear, you will have those "details" in the first place. Whereas, if you try to emulate the same mid high boost using an EQ effect in the DAW, you may not be able to achieve it. Simply put, it's usually preferable to have the detail in the first place. And even if none of that really applies here, since you can turn Air on or off, you can just look at it as a more-or-less free option, as it doesn't appear to have added much if any cost to the unit.

you need both. you cant use a dbx stand alone

@@brtcobra yes I know...but I was asking, If it would be better to just go with the focusrite interface, or both?

the dbx is not an audio interface itself, but a mic preamp and audio processor. You need an audio interface for the A/D conversion anyways, or a PCIe sound card to do the job.

What microphone will you be using, and what is your workflow?

The DBX 286s can add gain if you have a microphone that needs it and it can add some real-time processing, which could be nice for live streaming or podcasts where you won’t or can’t edit the audio afterwards. If you don’t need more than 56 db of gain or the signal processing, skip the extra complexity and cost of the DBX 286.

😂 yeah I know

Couldnt find a single comparison between these 2

So far it worked fine, though one time it did blue screen my pc when I unplugged it. But when it is connected I never had an issue.

I have the 2nd gen and listening to my recorded tracks, they sound dark and not as bright. When playing an instrument or hearing your vocals, there’s that presence but once it’s recorded for some reason it’s gone.

Much clearer stereo field and sounds much better imho, compared to my built-in PC soundcard.

@@Sam-rz3rd Thank you very much.

including german sheppard?

I thought he was British.

ok

Verzeihung was? Ich bin ab 3:02 eingeschlafen

@bookmarkthis they lack the English ability, even more than the average German lol

Noticed twice. Good game though.
