I am an early adopter of the AudioFuse Studio. Still a very happy user. Studio has improved my recording, production, and monitoring workflows. I am also pleased with the various Arturia VST plugins and virtual instruments.
Arturia really is an amazing company. I bought my keylab 25 back in 2017 and still use it to this day. I also picked up v collection about a month ago. Long story short, they are incredible. Now it looks like I will be saving up for this next :)
Just saw this Interface last week. This what I was waiting for. Was not able to choose between babyforce (not enough inputs) and other RME and Apollo (too expensive). Almost sure will buy it in 2 months.
This will be my first (and likely last) audio interface. I have been in research mode for a while and just discovered Arturia. I had been looking at the UAW X4. Not anymore. Really well-done and professional intro to the unit. One of the best I have seen anywhere of any product intro.
My Audient iD- 22 crapped out after 2 years and Audient has never corresponded back. This sounds like an excellent replacement. Thank you for a thorough overview
Just received mine Audient id22 crapped out and there was ZERO response from the company This unit sounds interesting, flexible and your explanation helps sway me Thank you
I have had this interface for 2 years. It has been incredibly reliable, versatile, and durable. I am a composer, producer, and mixer. It is great for using synths, instruments, guitar pedals. My only issue has been the Reamp feature, when trying to feed audio from Cubase into a guitar pedal and then back into the interface. If anyone has any suggestions how to make that work with the Audiofuse let me know. Otherwise, a GREAT interface, imo better than Focusrite, Steinberg, and equal to Apollo, but cheaper and more features. Super underrated product that I would buy again.
Got mine Thursday and it sounds amazing. I just can’t wait to get the Loopback working in OBS. This is the only thing I’m getting frustrated with. Have messaged support so hoping it’ll get resolved soon!
The connectivity is amazing, I finally have all my synths connected to it, I can record my drums , the added Bluetooth is a real plus, and the inserts super useful to me ! Though I haven't succeed to use the loopback well , maybe you could make a tutorial on how to record loopback sources to your daw?
I just got the AF Studio and successfully tried this. In the AF Control Center app enable Loopback and pick a source (eg: Main Mix). In your DAW's audio settings enable AF's audio channels 19 & 20. Create and arm an audio track that will record from channels 19 & 20 (mute the track so you don't get any feedback). At this point anything you play on your computer (that will go out of the Main Mix) will also be sent to the audio track which you can then record. It's a cool feature 😍
I’m hoping this unit with the Mitty will help me use my old Roland since with my Lynn 9000 and sync it with my daw I haven’t got those things to integrate yet but maybe this will be the trick
Playlist "Audiofuse Tutorials" with only one video for Audiofuse... can we get some further content here Arturia? Would love to see more about using different types of products with insert and aux send return. Which in my opinion is the best selling feature of this interface. For example, one video on Inserts using a y cable with unbalanced mono tips for an insert isn't gonna be helpful for those with 2 A/D balanced insert terminations. Or is it? I'm sure there's more than one videos worth of features to be showcased here. I really wanna see specific to Audiofuse STUDIO and not just the little guy. Real applications with actual physical outboard gear would carry this product and channel so much further. After 4 years of owning Izotope and Native Instruments I'm still learning applications from their youtube channels content. Why would I expect any less from Arturia? I mean, yall are NKS partners right?
Hello Arturia team, I am trying to setup my Audiofuse Studio with an external analog compressor in Ableton using the External Effect Plugin Do you have any tips on how to properly root signals? I tried to use aux out, but I am not sure to which channel it corresponds to Also It seems that Output speaker A or B are always sending audio out from Usb Channel 1 -2 and 3-4 . Is there a way to separate the source of the Output of Speaker A and B ? I would like to have speaker A as main monitoring outputting USB 1-2 , and Output B with USB 3-4 Thanks for you help :)
how do I route a track (in Logic Pro) to an external effect pedal? I bought a OTO BAM reverb unit. Connected the BAM OUTs to AudioFuse Studio Inputs 3-4, but not sure how to send a single track to the BAM. If I use AUX I get my whole mix. Is ther some way to configure Logic to only send a single bus to AUX?
Update the audio fuse control centre to add onboard effects like as uad interfaces using uad plugins which are top notch. Arturia having great fx collections, please add those features.
I’m using the AudioFuse Studio for about a year now and overall I’m very satisfied with the device and would buy it again. The only thing that is a bit “underwhelming” is the fact that the inserts 1-4 are hardwired to the inputs 1-4 (or did I miss something?). I would have loved them to be freely routable via the Control Center to a) avoid using an additional patch bay and b) be able to route all inputs (especially my synths on inputs 5-8) through the same FX chain (when needed) . Is implementing that in a future firmware update even possible?
@@ArturiaOfficial Hi , I just wanted to share my same sentiment. I own the Audiofuse Studio As well and I love it but I really would appreciate it if the inserts were able to be used and assigned in the control center. For example, I have to take up the reamp/aux section to line inputs 7/8 for an external effects processor to then be able to use it in Ableton Live as an "external audio effect" If I could bypass that by using the Inserts and save my inputs for other things this would make the Audiofuse Studio the #1 choice for anyone looking for the best interface on the market for the money and quality.
@@fallingmanjutsu Hi and thank you so much for this detailed feedback. I'm sorry but I think I don't have enough technical knowledge to share your idea well. Could you send your request to our support team here: www.arturia.com/support/askforhelp If want you want to do is possible, they'll explain how, if not, they'll add it to our feature request list. Thank you again!
I’ve been looking for some thing like this so I can use my Linn 9000 which is an old drum machine and find a way to sync it with my door so I can have them work together. I would assume mini Clarkwood help sync them up I haven’t used word clock but I hope this will be the solution to having it be idlefor so long
OK. I am massively confused. I'm not a guitar player but I have started learning. Is there a simple explanation on how to connect a guitar to my Audiofuse and to get sound??? I have plugged the cable into Input 3 and selected instrument. There is signal but it is low and doesn't move when I play the guitar or not. I don't know what to do? Do I buy an amp and connect THAT to the Audiofuse (I would have thought the Audiofuse would be the amp???). The Audiofuse Control Centre Input 3 is greyed out. According to the manual AudioFuse Studio will auto-detect that you have connected a 1/4" cable and either the Line or Inst LED will light up in the Input Channel section. Press the Inst button to ensure that the right kind of input device (line-level or instrument) is selected: Yes. I see that. It did detect the instrument but no electric guitar sound is happening. and the line level is stuck half way without moving when I play the guitar. (I've raised the gain) I am stumped. I don't what I'm doing wrong. (I also checked the forums) Could someone there at Arturia explain it to me in simple terms for someone who isn't that knowledgeable about these things? Is reamping something I need to figure out? Signal flow has never been my strong suite. Thank you.
@@ArturiaOfficial No offense, but you represent Arturia, no? And you "don't think" the pres can be bypassed? Well, if you don't know, then who does? Pretty lame answer. And makes me hesitate to consider this rather expensive interface.
@@TechnoNates Social media manager should do his job, then, and find out the definitive answer. Works for the company pushing the project, then give 100% accurate answers.
Thanks very much for the video, really interesting. Could anyone please help me by telling me if it is possible to direct monitor all inputs without having the software open. I read something somewhere about presets, but can these be accessed without being connected to a computer? My current interface allows me to plug in my Captor X and an audio source and monitor both without having to have my studio computer switched on (for when I just want to play for fun), I know the audiofuse rev.2 has the mixer knob for direct vs. computer, but how does that function with the studio, please? Hypothetical example: inputs 1+2 for L/R from my amp and either phono or bluetooth in for backing track. It's not a dealbreaker for me and I love the functionality of this interface, but I like being able to just play through my monitors with a track without having to set up my whole studio, would that still be possible? Cheers
You’ve asked questions that I would also like answers for if anyone users would care to comment. I assume if my loopback comes in on 19/20 that I could route that to 1/2 for zoom and other such platforms that only listens to 1/2???
@@GMan269 Hey Greg, I bought the unit last year shortly after posting, hopefully I can help answer the question for you. First things first, you can monitor without having the computer on/connected. You have 3 mixes (Main and Cues 1 & 2), whatever settings you had applied for each will remain active after powering off until you next change the settings. Loopback gets listed as a single output once activated so you can put that as your device in any program that will only accept one input (they are labelled well so you'd see it instantly as 'loopback'). Example: Set cue 1 mixer settings to be hearing what you want to output and then select cue 1 as loopback in main mix. Bluetooth can also be looped back. Hope that helps, the unit is phenominal and I am thrilled with mine but if you have any other questions, I'll see what I can do.
@@bizarrefruit thanks for the help. I’m torn between this and the Motu ultralite mk5. I think sonically they’re fairly equal. The Motu has built in dsp. Which is of dubious importance if you’re not recording 50 tracks or something. I am a bit concerned about support from arturia which I think has improved. How is RT latency when you’re not internal monitoring?
@@GMan269 You're welcome. I can't speak to the reliability of Arturia support as I've not had an issue so far. Latency wise; it takes 3.1ms (1.1/2.0), 8 samples @48k. I just did a quick check for those stats through my DAW and what it reports, so take with a pinch of salt. That's more than adequate for my needs but I couldn't say how your performance might vary if you were tracking a heavily processed signal. That's where your DSP might shine if it can unburden your cpu to allow you to use those lower sample rates. It's worth nothing that my studio PC is over a decade old at this point and it's USB 2.0 I'm connected in to, so I'm sure with a newer computer and USB-C it would be faster still. The Moto looks great too and is a chunk cheaper as well, looks like a solid unit, so as you said, probably comes down to DSP or not and the extra cash.
Thanks for post this useful/informative tutorial. Just a suggestion for this video... & (audio). Please try not to have your music with a singing-voice in the background. Since your speaking-voice soft and low. Most of the times in this video, I tried to understand your tutorials, but I got these distractions through-out this video. If you really wanted to have some sounds/music in the background, just use a instrumental-music in a very low volume... -or- don't use anything like this because you will push your views away from your intention and purpose of your videos. Just your voice will be much more professional in this kind of "Educations/Teaching... Tutorials"
Please, Arturia: Give us a software update, where renaming of the inputs in the monitoring section is saved once we close AFC and reopen it. This pisses me off when using my Audiofuse 8Pre. I asked your support for this over a year ago and nothing happend. We' ll tell our Dev Team, bla, bla, bla, ... Really bad customer support for such a basic feature request!
hello, lol I ANNA SAY IM VERY BEGINEER AND MY ONLY DEBATE IS BETWEEN ARTURIA AND THE SOLO HERITAGE. AND I WANT TO STAND BY ARTURIA FROM THE BEGING OF MY QUEST AND hopping THEY WILL BE GOOD FOR LATER IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS ILL MAKE SOME PURCHASES BASED OFF MY RESERCH
