In this video I compare the top 8 budget audio interfaces out there! I test the sound quality, microphone recordings, interface, knobs, usability, headphone level, and more. These are the best audio interfaces from 100 dollars to 200 dollars right now. And you can use this with Windows and Mac. These audio interfaces are the best selling and best quality for the price. Interfaces include the Focusrite Scarlett, Audient Evo 4, SSL 2, Universal Audio Volt 2 and 276, Arturia Minifuse 2, PreSonus Studio 24c, MOTU M2, and the Audient iD4. I even test the Scarlett Air, Volt Vintage, and SSL 4K recording modes so you can hear them side by side.

I have it and use it for vocal recordings „on the road“. In my studio I have the Antelope ZenQ, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 primarily for external MIDI-modules and keyboards, a keyboard mixer so to say, and also the Mackie BigKnob Studio+, a Monitor controller that could also be used as an Audio interface, which I don’t do. Honestly I didn‘t hear worth mentioning differences between these interfaces, but my very cheap Superlux headphones which I use with my iPad at the moment and my declining hearing ability (I’m 67) could be blamed for that. So far so bad, GAD. 😜

Best Regards Marek Tomczak 👍👍👍

@RobVespa 5 месяцев назад

Regarding the "special" sounds (e.g., 4K, Air, Vintage), my take is 4K (by quite margin), followed by Air and then Vintage. I imagine my take might change, depending on what we're listening to. This typed, if I were recording, I'd never use any type of filter, as I'd want all sounds to be as clean as possible so that they can be saved as sources, which can then be manipulated as versions. As an aside, the SSL2+ has MIDI ports (and since you mentioned the Volt 276, I don't understand why this wasn't mentioned). Why didn't you talk about preamps? Out of all of these, the SSL2 probably has the best preamp, followed by the Audient. Love the meters on the M2. I don't know. My ranking might be SSL2, ID4mk2, Volt, M2, Focusrite.

@InspelaRecords 6 месяцев назад

Apart from the Evo, I’ve had all of the interfaces shown here and the Arturia MiniFuse IMHO is by far the best of the bunch. I’ve got a MiniFuse 4 in black and it’s way better than I thought it would be. The MOTU for me sounded too bland - too neutral, if there is such a thing - the Focusrite’s headphone out just doesn’t cut it - whilst the PreSonus (while good) felt dated, as Sanjay commented on. My SSL 2+ was faulty out of the box - though I have used an SSL12, which is way better due to being 32-bit - so I returned it and the Volts sound great but, on a personal note, I just don’t like the design. If they’d looked more like the Apollo range, that would’ve better for me. Again, just my opinion, but the Arturia is great and I’d love a bigger AudioFuse model in the future.

@berndhoecke8493 5 месяцев назад

Honestly it's quite hard to tell them apart. For me, as I was listening blindly at the last part, the SSL, the MotU and the Audient had a slightly more round feeling to the low mids. But at this price range I'd argue the choice of mic & good acoustics have so much more impact, that you could confidently choose your interface by how it appeals to your eyes.

@adamgreenhill110 4 месяца назад

I've compared the Scarlett 2i2 and SSL2 in person. They didn't come close. Focusrite is garbage, avoid at all costs. Honestly. I returned mine. The SSL 2 is the most accurate, high quality sound. Even the line outputs are more level. The Scarlett line outs are bass and treble boosted - not ideal for mixing work.

@Highcastle_of_Geek 5 месяцев назад

I had the SSL 2+ for just over two years and it died outright. There was no damage, power spikes, or other external insult that should have caused it to fail, but it quit outputting audio. I went through the process of checking cables, drivers, firmware, etc. but nothing could get it back. It behaves as if some internal component failed. Luckily for me, I had my old Focusrite 6i6 which the 2+ replaced and was able to use it instead. It has it's own issues, mainly that it periodically disconnects and has to be restarted (WinPC). I'm looking at a new unit going forward, but I'm inclined to spend a bit more money because my higher end UA Apollos (Mac) have worked for years without fail or glitch.

@michaeldavis9954 Месяц назад

Great review. For me the Volt’s external power supply option, which you don’t even mention, is its key selling point, because I primarily record to iPad and providing USB-power from my current interface (Focusrite) is a drag (yes, a poorly attempted pun ). Of course I could also buy a USB hub but that’s a) more money and b) more cables to deal with. A minus for me on the new Scarlett, SSL and Audient is the placement of the XLR inputs on the back. Having them on the front is more relevant for me and easier to handle in my recording space.

Wow, you have all the different interfaces that I consider upgrading to in the list! With the bluetooth Sennheiser Momentum 4 that I'm using right now, I can't hear a difference, I'll have to check again with my DT-880. I will mainly use the interface to practice and record electric bass and guitar, and MIDI recording from my Kawai ES-100 (it only has old-school MIDI outputs, no USB) would be a nice-to-have. My DT-880 are high-impedance, so a powerful headphone amp is a priority. Also low latency, but I think pretty much all modern interfaces should fit the bill. I'm leaning towards the MiniFuse 2 - really nice price to performance, ticks all the feature boxes including a decent headphone output and direct monitor mix. Runner-up would be the MOTU M2 which might sound a bit better, have a slightly more powerful headphone amp and lower latency. But it misses the direct monitor mix control and it's quite a bit more expensive. Thanks a lot, this was very helpful!

This classic 2-in/2-out interface with integrated DSPs can also be used for enhancing live streaming and Zoom calls. I've owned the Revelator for about a month now and am very pleased with its performance. It provides ample power to drive my DT990 Pro headphones to full volume. The interface also integrates smoothly with streaming software like OBS. Overall, the Revelator io24 has proven to be an excellent choice that meets all my audio interface needs. Pity you did not review it here, but all those interfaces will do the job pretty well too!

UAD Volt of your choice, a little expensive but by far the best especially if you record guitar or bass.

@sanjayC - you mentioned you used the sonible plugin? IF you used this plugin and did different things with this plugin on each piece of audio - could that be part of the reason the results sound so similar on the comparison at the end? I think the Arturia Minifuse 2 may have been thinner sounding than many of the others. Maybe the Evo 4 was lacking a little? Maybe the Motu M2 and Volt 2 sounded the best among this bunch? Wasn't so sure about the Scarlett 2i2.

I have a focusrite 2pre 7year old that won’t work with Mac new update Sonoma 😞 so I’ve been looking for a upgrade. Great video.

Hi, Sanjay. I love your channel. In your video today I think you should have, at least, mentioned NI's Komplete audio Mk II and m-audio AIR (any). Even Behringer or Steinberg would be welcomed additions. Even if they are not up to level of the others you showed, which I doubt in some machines, it would have been nice. On the other hand, comparing 8 interfaces is tough so I guess doing the same with 12 would be hell itself. And THANK YOU. I've learned more from you than from any other person in the net. And your speaking voice is clear and articulated. Thanks again Greetings from Barcelona

The NI Komplete Audio ones are supposed to be pretty decent. I was on their website just a few days ago and they had a special deal where you get even more software than usual (NI gives great software), if you're interested.

please tell me, I am facing the choice of an audio interface. My tasks are: streaming with an xlr studio dynamic microphone, voiceover, and listening to music with good headphones for a bit. I am interested in the audio interface where the best output sound quality and stable software are best. The price is up to $ 200. I am considering options: focusrite 2i2 4 gen, universal audio volt2 (there is also interest in 276, but it costs $ 270 already) and motu m2. In terms of accessibility, this is focusrite, judging by the reviews and especially because of the vintage sound, this is volt 2, but there are also many people who prefer motu. Well, a small addition, I considered the arturia minifuse 2 and Audient id4 mkll options, but judging by the reviews and the videos I watched, they have good sound, but not the best like these 3 models. Can you tell me which of these models would be best in your opinion and why?
