I'm with SSL2+ many good features when playing instruments 😊

@claybennett5875 7 дней назад

You chose really well - I went for Volt 276 and every day wish I'd gone for the SSL12 - the Volt interfaces are great as they give you a little bit of that analog feel as every function on it is controlled by something analog like a button but damn the SSL stuff grants you cleaner sound, a more notice-able second preamp choice, loopback, talk back, adat in for when I want to try more outboard gear, more headphone mix capability with direct monitoring from all the channels... 😩

@MySCSStory 2 месяца назад

I got a Volt 4. They need to make an expansion for these. Just more i/o adat, spdif word clock, etc.

@howtheturntables Год назад

These Volt interfaces are super cool for the money. Like, the Volt 1 is literally only $110 right now which is nuts for everything you get and the quality of preamps it has. Spending just a little more, I would argue that for podcasting and/or live-streaming purposes the UA Volt 176 / 276 is an even better option bc on top of the built in classic UA 610 preamp emulation “vintage” button it has a built in compressor emulated after the 1176. That’s super dope especially for streaming purposes bc you get both of those applied to the signal while recording on the way in without even using any processing power on your computer or introducing any sort of delay in your streaming software by running plugins. I don’t know of any interface at this price point that offers anything like that. The SSL 2+ is a killer deal too for what it is and has the 4K button that emulates their classic 4k console preamp but it doesn’t have a built in compressor so these Volt interfaces are a pretty crazy in terms of price to feature ratio.

@ripF5C Год назад

how in the world would the UA 176 be good for streaming? there's literally no mute button and all ports are front facing

@howtheturntables Год назад

@@ripF5C I guess I don’t see a problem with either of those things. That’s where most ports are on small interfaces like this, nor do they usually have mute buttons. If you need a mixer, then just get a mixer. A mute button on the interface seems unnecessary for any sort of live streaming (or anything else, really) when you have one in the software and can program a button on your keyboard and/or stream deck to be a mute button. I’m saying in comparison to other budget interfaces like the Volt 1 & 2, the 176 & 276 is an even better option if you have the extra money bc it has a built in 1176 modeled compressor on top of having the classic pre amp emulator. Which means that if you DO use it for some type of live streaming you get both the pre amp emulation and compression applied on the way IN to your computer without having to take up any extra processing in your software by running a plugin. If you just use a usb mic or you don’t don’t use compression or anything when you stream and you’re fine with that, then I guess it won’t matter to you. But if you do and you’re in the market for a new audio interface anyway, the 176 / 276 is a really solid choice. The compressor can obviously be used for recording and such to, but as an audio engineer, I’m personally hardly ever going to record with compression on the way in since it can’t be taken away once it’s recorded that way and I’d prefer to add what I need later. BUT for something like live streaming I’d definitely use it.

@christophernoia5197 9 месяцев назад

I used a cheap maudio interface in the 2000s, then got a scarlet 2i2 which I used for a long time, still do when travelling. I eventually upgraded to a motu 8 pre I got used for 150 bucks. Those things are a still steal on the used market. The past few years I've been rocking with a UAD x8p and I use the motu 8pre as an adat expansion, though only 4 of the channels still work as it's been used for a long time even before I got it. Those extra 4 channels don't get used too often, but they're there if I need them for extra inputs.

@kennethHuo Год назад

With the same amount of money, you can get used UA Arrow which is identical to Apollo Solo.

@shmvon 8 месяцев назад

I have it and I'm very pleased. It looks pretty, has a flat top, the knobs work well, and there's a direct stereo button. Can't complain about sound quality (using SM58 and SM137 mics as well as electric guitar and midi piano). The vintage knob has some merit warming up the sound of mics as well as instruments. I have to say that the bloatware you get with it is super dumb though: the packages are gigantic, not that good, and try to lure you into buying overexpensive software and subscriptions. Something more Apple-like that "just works" would have been better. Ableton Live, which is included, is fine and just as good as Cubase LE Elements, but for a beginner Garageband is just nicer. All the VSTs on the other hand are complicated crap. I don't even want to learn how to work with it. It's just knobs and sliders for big kids. I prefer the hardware vintage knob instead.

@AdilConstantineMusic 8 месяцев назад

Yeah I’m very happy with mine too. I don’t use any of the software that came with it lol I already have full version of Ableton and I just use it as audio interface and its AWESOME! Love the ability to just plug it in directly to my iPad too

Trying to decide between volt 2 and volt 276...

@howtheturntables Год назад

Both are on sale right now btw. And since I’m here I might as well muddy the waters a little more for you and tell you to also consider the SSL 2 or SSL 2+. Similar price point, similar features, made by a legendary company. Tbh all of these interfaces are phenomenal for the price so you really can’t go wrong with any. The 276 will just get you the extra benefit of having the 1176 modeled compressor built in (and the metering is a little better than the volt 2 which might matter to some). If you think you’ll use the compressor feature, it’s a pretty cool feature to have that not many other interfaces do. But you could always use a plugin so I wouldn’t feel too terrible if you decide to be more budget friendly 👍🏻
