Why shouldn't I buy a 2i2?
I guess because audiobox usb is cheaper?
But I've had some issues with buzzing with mine.
>>54894015
Wait for it to go on sale for $99 and save $50. Great mic pre's and works well as a DAC. Good support on both OS X and Windows.
>>54894046
Your Audiobox?
>>54894119
I found a cheap NIB one on Craigslist.
>>54894156
You really won't do better for ~$100.
>>54894156
Yeah, every once in a while the audio output has a bit of a spasm and crackles. I'm really not sure if the root cause is external or related to the audiobox itself. There's also a bit of power hum, but it's a pretty solid DAC altogether. I've used the xlr and 1/4 inch for guitar and vocals, and it performs well.
didn't they announce new scarletts today?
>>54894193
i have the solo and this is a thing feelsbadman.jpg
>>54894392
might be because the solo is RCA output
>>54894392
I use a solo for travel work and I've not had an issue, but I do use the headphone out exclusively.
>>54894015
Steinberg UR22 is better
>>54894565
Can you go a little more in depth?
Yo wait until some reviews of the Second Generation come out, they came out like a day ago
No reason, I bought one, love that little thing.
O2 ODAC is objectively better and cheaper.

Jeezus, alright, we can all read net bullshit but I was hoping for an actual user opinion.
got one of those? with respect.
I have the Solo, it looks good, is sturdy and works without a problem. I need to get monitors for it though, I currently listen to the audio out from the DAW through my headphones when playing guitar with amp sims which has a small but noticeable delay.
>>54895906
>>54895861
Not OP bye the way. just asking.
>>54895798

>>54894015
Because you can get a Quad Capture instead?
>>54895913
what monitors you gettin ? I want some new monitors for my 214 fococusrite.
>>54896051
No idea, I've only used headphones up until now, I just know that I need them for direct monitor. The only other alternative is running headphones into the interface but using two pair of headphones when you're at your PC is pretty dumb.
>>54896134
yeah dude, no shit on that one.
Take it your buying new?.
Try krk rp5..10... pretty good for the money.
>>54894319
They did announce some a few days ago.
I use a UR22. Got MIDI and a preamp decent enough that doesn't clip when I plug my guitar in.
Was thinking of just using a Yamaha MG06X mixer as my mic preamp instead of a 2i2.
Thoughts?
>>54894046
Shitty suggestion. You're better off buying an pre-owned USB Audio Interface than you are the Presonus. Mediocre recording quality, terrible general playback quality. At least with the 2i2 it doubles nicely as a USB DAC for ASIO playback purposes.
>>54895798
We are talking about audio interfaces for music production
>>54896377
In my experience, their pre's were well good for everything but metal guitares, mostly used the digi O2r's. that thing looks analogue though?

It's 250 on amazon, senpai.
>>54894015
I have one and it's awesome
>>54896685
I feel sorry for you, it's 199€ in Europe while the 2i2 is 119€ on Thomann. Look elsewhere, sure you can find it for less.
Anyway, the 2i2 has questionable preamps if you want to record a guitar. No MIDI for your faggot keyboardist's needs and less outputs too. The biggest point are the preamps and your use. Personally I use >>54896320 and the preamps are good and clean enough to handle a DiMarzio CrunchLab pickup.
>>54896734
yeah, this.
Stable as fuck, good sound quality, better than MOTU on both those fronts, and it's a cool shade of red.
The 2i2 is awesome. I found only one flaw : only two input.
You're gonna ask "who the fuck needs more than 2 input channels except fucking drummers?"

They still sound like shit compared to an actually decent skin beater. It's like comparing Vocaloid to a real decent singer (when he isn't masturbating in front of the mirror). If you hear it by itself it's not too bad most of the time, but when you start picking up that the hits are pretty much all the same it can easily ruin a whole album for you; it sure did ruin Dream Theater's "Images and Words" for me (all snare hits are the same) and "the Astonishing" which was mixed like shit. Outside of that...
>>54896864
It's boring on stage
>>54896906
>it sure did ruin Dream Theater's "Images and Words" for me (all snare hits are the same)
why did you tell me that you faggot
>>54896906
Depends what you're doing with the drums. The best drums I've heard have been from individual samples of hits assembled into a break, then heavily processed. I've never heard anything so utterly metallic as the snares on Here's To Them, for instance
>>54896923
Because pic related.
It's not a surprise that Portnoy's drums sound better than Mangini's: he's not actually better or worse of a drummer (just different I promise), but being a founding member and the victim of sample replacement/time alignment, he probably became autistic about his drum mixes.
On the "Greatest Hit" album you can hear the original snare on Pull Me Under. And it's indeed shit but it's not lifeless.
>>54896958
>Depends what you're doing with the drums.
Well you can indeed spend your life processing them to try to get close to a real drummer... or you can handle a decent skin beater and learn how to record him. That's why studios ask for so much money to record your band.
>Metallic snare
>Not St. Anger
Pick one.
>>54896906
Superior Drummer can easily sound better than retards who can't mix drums, like every producer Dream Theater have used
>>54894392
I had a solo. Piece of crap thb. I returned it and got a Steinberg ur 22. Pretty good
>>54896906
>an actually decent skin beater
well I can relate to that, I once did a gay ass test, snare drum vs 5Kw soundsystem.
1 live snare hit = 1000 watts, wrap your head around that and tell me a drummer is gay,
Can't beat a live drummer, as long as they ain't shit or weak.
>>54896991
Sounding better than shit shouldn't be an achievement, it should be some kind of standard. DT's drum mixes turned to poo when Rudess and Petrucci took over the sound writing process (and especially after Portnoy left probably because of his autismo about his drum sound and stronger position in the band than Mangini). Add LOUD AS FUCK compressed mixes to squeeze out the rest of the life out of them (and bury the bass guitar in the mix) and you get that. It's less bad on vynil or HDTracks because of the added dynamic range but that's still polishing the turd.
Wouldn't be surprised if Myung ends up quitting since he has no imput anymore in the band (he already didn't have much).
>>54896985

FWIW, he was 5 years away from death on the video.
Of course you can do whatever you want if you're not aiming for a realistic drum sound. Much like Vocaloids don't aim for a realistic voice sound because they'd be cruelly destroyed.
>>54897090
Exactly why would a drum machine be unable to do this?
>>54897090
Do you honestly think that sounds impressive? That's *exactly* the sort of thing you can do with a sampler
>>54894015
Yeah, wait for it to go on sale for $99. Otherwise, it's a great device. I use it to play my guitar through my headphones without any lag or noise disturbing people.
>>54897142
you don't know anything do you.
I dare you to make a drum machine do that.
>>54897032
When did Petrucci take over? Ocatavarium is IMO pretty much the only DT album where the drums don't sound like doodoo. Sometimes I wish Petrucci would just go solo, or start a supergroup with Myung, or reboot Liquid Tension Experience or something. It says a lot about the musicians in that band when they managed to give Labrie an actual career as a singer.
>>54897112
All that does is sound frantic. Skilled? Absolutely, but far from unique. It isn't pushing the boundaries, it's not really doing interesting stuff.
>>54897151

Guys, he's memeing. Squarepusher uses a sampler.
>>54897173
No, I don't know anything. That's why I asked.
>>54897180
Talking about the Petrucci/Rudess pair. Probably around after LTE IMO, and especially on the last three albums where it's basically Petrucci and Rudess wanking around with his shit synth sound (ironically I like Rudess' solo stuff).
As for LaBrie, he just doesn't give a fuck since he damage his chords in 1994. He used to be something. Go check out Winter Rose, which is what he was doing before DT.
>>54897184
The point was that it's perfectly possible for a drummer that knows his crap to play what you've linked to. It's a drum solo, it ain't a song with a structure, played by a 65yo guy on a kit the size you can find in your local Guitar Center. It's far from impossible, which is why I said you're underestimating drummers greatly.

emotion from rhythm, it comes down to a million changes in quantising and velocity and timing. that's why you do it live or forget it.
listen to drum solos bye billy cobamand keith moon, listen to squarepushers music.

It's not truly a matter of what a drum machine or a real drummer can or can't play technically speaking. It can do anything. The issue is just that time aligned drums and sample replacement, nevermind using a drum machine just sounds like dog shit compared to an actual decent drummer. It sure allows most home studio guys to release albums by just playing the guitar and bass through their AxeFx/Kemper/[insert meme amp sim of the day], but that's really it.
Obviously nowadays your ear can biased towards what you're used to ear when producers are happy to AutoTune, time align and record a whole record note by note to have a perfectly in time album in and out. Simply doesn't sound natural, the record doesn't breathe the same. You gotta accept the tiny mistakes that a human can make, the way they feel the rhythm and play on it; obviously not talking about shitting through the record in and out like your local club's bass player.
It's less bad when you go straightaway for an unrealistic sound; you can actually get away with it in that case more often than not (again, Vocaloid).
>>54897470
Chopping up an Amen is no different to chopping up any other break or sample, I don't see what you're getting at.
>>54897488
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3UUSHQhEbk
generic as shit programming, not bad music.
>>54897496
I'm not surprised you don't get it to be honest, most don't.
>>54897493
Whether a record has space to breathe is mostly in the mixdown and mastering. Implying that one has to be playing an instrument to be able to feel a rhythm and play and improvise of it is nothing but snobbery.
>>54897517
I know Tom pretty well. You might find the programming disinteresting but it's a technical achievement in its own right - every percussion hit was synthed. Aria is another one of his tunes that you may find interesting but the percussion there was mainly sampled.
I've been toying with the idea of using my PreSonus 18/18 VSL in lieu of a mixer for a 4-way PA system. Basically thinking of having a rack with a rack mount PC running kx or Ubuntu studio where all my inputs come in, get processed, and dial in the crossovers and limiters , and then sending that to a seperate amp rack that goes out to the loud speakers. Eventually I'd like to throw a router in the rack and write a program to allow me to mix/monitor levels over the network.
Is this something people do? I haven't heard much about it, but it seems like it should work as long as I can get the latency low enough and all the software is stable
>>54897496
you know what amen break is right?
no disrespect, there is alot of difference beetween chopping up your owndrums and copying some sample shit from 1900 that's been done one million times, mostly better than you or me could do it.
just my 2cent.
>>54897533
I think what you're trying to say is that because you're chopping up an existing break and playing it through a sampler (whether that's in a DAW or an MPC or whatever) it doesn't count because it's based on the recording of a drummer? To which I'd disagree. If you're sampling something, it's about what you do with it, not what its source is.
>>54897579
that tom is it?, Wouldn't have guessed.
the search goes on.......... love his music.
>>54897579
>Implying that one has to be playing an instrument to be able to feel a rhythm and play and improvise of it is nothing but snobbery.
For you I suppose, we're just on our respective opinions. The thing is that you can really either go straight for something unrealistic (electronic music for example), spend your time trying to get a drum machine sound "real", or use a good drummer. So far, I haven't heard a drum machine that could hold a candle to a good drummer and I don't believe I'm gonna hear one anytime soon. Drum machines don't ruin every album I listen to, I still enjoyed Sithu Aye's "Set Course For Andromeda" recently (again home studio shit with AxeFx and playing the guitar and bass while programming the drums), but I don't remember anything where the drum machine tries to sound like a real drum that wouldn't be crushed by a decent drummer and where the album wouldn't sound better with a real drummer.
>>54897615
no, not saying it doesn't count, I love a lot of Amen stuff and sampled anything can be cool.
My point is, to program proper drums from scratch is almost impossible, I only heard it done right once or twice.

>>54894015
OP can I use this to plug my guitar into my computer and use Bias Amp/FX?
>>54897664
Not OP but you can if the preamps don't clip their ass off with your guitar. Didn't mind BiasFX too much however.
Is this good? Can anyone recommend a better alternative?
>>54897690
Thank you anon! I can tweak the tones to avoid clipping, I've heard enough good examples of tone and I tried it out at a friends place but he has an apogee and a macbook, and I have no apple/iOS devices whatsoever so I can't get any apogee device.
Can I hook up studio monitors to it as well and hear the tone post-preamp or do I need something else for that?
>>54897664
>BiasFX
I think you should be careful. If you want to monitor yourself while you play, there would most likely be a latency issue if you make the sound go through the BiasFX software in the OS.
>>54897726
>Wasting your shekels on USB 3.0 for an entry level card
No, unless you have billion entries and really need the speed USB 2.0 is enough. UR22, Duo/Quad Capture, 2i4 (less clipping issues).
>>54897736
>I can tweak the tones to avoid clipping
No you can't, it's the interface's input clipping. Only thing you can do is either get a card with a better preamp or put a DI box in the front (guitar>DI box>2i2).
>>54897726
250? Seems overpriced. USB 3.0 is overkill too.
>>54897594
Yes, I know what the Amen break is. My background is in jungle. I think we'll have to disagree here. I don't find the source of a sample particularly relevant, I'm more interested in how it's chopped, processed and the end result. If someone does something novel and unique but it's with an Amen, I don't see how that's any less worthy. Obviously it takes more effort to create your own samples, but that's just trivia. It's the result which counts.
>>54897661
I do agree, it's not easy, and using a drum machine instead of a drummer (when you want *conventional* drums and patterns) is never going to sound as good - chiefly because most drum machines aren't very good. But by the same token, you can also do stuff that no drummer can do: rarely in terms of patterning, but in terms of the overall sound of the hits. Unless you have pads and snares made in Mordor, anyway.
What are my options for 100 or less? Really just need a mic input.
>>54897626
Tom Green. Did a fun track as well where all the drum hits played backwards - sampled, obviously - called Reverse Engineering
>>54897774
Interesting, thank you again.
>>54897774
Latency is specifically the issue I'm looking to solve with the zoom uac. Thanks for the help, I'll look into the others
>>54897690
>>54897736
I play my guitar through the 2i2, there's no clipping issues unless you set it up wrong. Set the switch to INST and turn the gain knob down, and it'll be just fine.
>>54897791
If you just need to record your voice for your meme gamplay video, an used 2i2 is a decent bet regardless of what I've said about the preamps when it comes to guitar playing. For guitar, you could get a Solo with a DI box to avoid clipping the preamp.
>>54897769
I jammed on one for a while with an apogee jam at a friends house and experienced no latency with reaper and outputting to headphones from his laptop. I don't have a ton of real experience though.
I've also heard of people playing live with just an ipad into a PA system.
>>54897654
No one has to make a drum sound """"realistic"""", but if you think you cant make it sound real, then you are so wrong. There is a thing called midi that specializes in this sort of thing
>>54897824
>Latency
It's more a question of your CPU speed (how fast it can treat the sound and send it back) than the USB speed (and perhaps RAM if you have 1.5GB on your elder brother's Thinkpad). For one or even two instruments, 2.0 is more than fast enough.
Making synthetic drums sound real is easy as shit, just overlap the waveforms and apply a super-subtle LFO to the amplitude or frequency.
If you're trying to get a distortion sound without overdriving your amps, then get a passive distortion chip.
>>54897831
>If you just need to record your voice for your meme gamplay video
That's not what it's for.
>an used 2i2 is a decent bet
Cool, that's what I thought.
>>54897824
USB 3.0 is not going to change latency. Latency problems happen because you are routing the sound through the OS, converting the analog input to digital and then processing it in the OS and then converting it back to analog.
>>54897866
MIDI doesn't specialize in fucking anything, you could transmit STDs over MIDI for fucks sake.
Most people just use it to synchronize their tempo.
>>54897866
>MIDI
MIDI is a communication protocol. Else, show me good examples.
>No one has to make a drum sound """"realistic""""
Neither did I say that, depends what kind of music you're playing. If you're trying to approach a decent """""""""realistic"""""""" drum sound, I haven't heard it so far.
>>54897906
Ill show you a good example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Y0mqsjbrM
Is the UMC204HD a piece of shit?
>>54897867
>>54897878
So having any USB dac would solve a latency problem for someone previously using just a cpu? The question then becomes what would be best for recording no more than two tracks at a time at 192khz/24bit?
>>54897654
It depends how much care and attention and how good a producer the person is. I'd agree that in 95/100 cases you're better off with a drummer if you're only going for the usual stuff, but sampling also affords you a lot of flexibility if you know what you're doing.
In terms of grooving, I guess that depends how you're going about it. I've been in some more modern studios where there's not even a fucking midi keyboard around - everything's driven by a PC keyboard, mouse and a mix console. That really is soulless and I have no idea how people work in them. A lot of my workflow is in software, but I wouldn't be able to do it without a keyboard and the odd analogue synth. Something's lost when you have no tactility.
>>54897928
>Drummer playing
And that's why it's sounds anywhere near decent (that level of shilling tho'). It's basically an electronic drum kit.
>>54897941
Depends of the drivers. I remember some really cheap interfaces use ASIO for all as drivers instead of decent proprietary drivers. Don't waste your money on these.
>>54897957
It's how fast the CPU can work for the most part, not really the DAC 2bh. You can put a Dacia on a speedway with F1 tyres, you won't get shit out of it. You don't need a i7 but the faster it is, the better your latency will be.
>>54897972
I do think samples have their use. It can be an amazing composing and rehearsal tool. It can allow discussion with your drummer on what to write and stuff like that. And it's also awesome for baby's first Djent album in his bedroom/basement. I wouldn't be able to afford a real drummer 2bh unless I went to the local college and swindled them with a tower sandwich. It defo has its uses.
>>54897906
Out of interest, to you, does this sound like it's:
* fully software-generated;
* sampled;
* or live?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65gmmws9kzM
>>54898000
>And that's why it's sounds anywhere near decent
On the other hand the drummer will only affect the programming, not how each hit sounds/how "realistic" (to use Anon's word) it is
>>54898099
>On a laptop with no headphones on me so I apologise if the quality is dreadful
Same for me. At best sampled live drums, but it lacks room reverb.
>On the other hand the drummer will only affect the programming, not how each hit sounds/how "realistic" (to use Anon's word) it is
It's 2:30AM (so I might not reply no more), but I don't get that sentence. My English is fading away right now.
>>54898085
Depends on the genre, I guess. For sketching it's useful, but the real innovation in terms of sound design is in the electronic space and it's done with samples. I heard a track a few weeks ago that was kick-less and instead used extremely tight, compressed subs to do the same thing. Gimmicky, but not without its charm.
Then there's the aforementioned World's Most Metallic snare. I'll have a look and see if I bounced it out of Cubase since I don't think I have the VST which generated it on this machine

I own a Focusrite Clarett 8Pre. It's wonderful.
This is exactly the thread I need. I bought one of these for making voiceovers for YouTube videos but I'm starting to wonder if it has much use as a non-musician. All I use is a condenser microphone. It hasn't got its own drivers, just plug and play. Did I waste my money? I can get roughly the same performance plugging my microphone into phantom power then into my PC, I can't tell the difference in audio quality.
>>54898350
Then you wasted your money. Cheap gear vs cheap gear, you weren't gonna gain much; perhaps a cleaner signal if the interface has decent hardware but if you can't hear the difference...
>>54898500
It was in the 50% off Amazon warehouse sale, it retails for £60 but I got it for £18 so I thought why not. I like being able to adjust gain on the fly but other than that I can't tell too much of a difference. Do audio interfaces with dedicated drivers have much better performance then? I worried when I plugged it in and there was no drivers, it shows up as USB Audio Codec. I can sell it on and save for a Focusrite.
>>54898000
>Depends of the drivers. I remember some really cheap interfaces use ASIO for all as drivers instead of decent proprietary drivers. Don't waste your money on these.
All right, thanks.
>>54896906

>>54894015
2i2 doesn't support mixcontrol, if I remember correctly. I have an 18i8 and it's pretty okay. Linux mixer software for it isn't incredibly efficient, and it does have to be shut off and unplugged from time-to-time when it stops being detected correctly.
I kind of wish I'd gone with RME, though I'd be poorer for it.
Asking this question in an audio interface thread:
So I have a Project turntable I want to hook up to my computer (through the soundcard or an audio interface) and play through some JBP studio monitors with XLR connections, and I also want to be able to play music from my computer (i.e. digital files) through the same speakers (not at the same time just without having to change cords a lot)
Any advice on how to hook up everything with one piece of gear?
>>54894015
Because you can get a Lexicon Alpha for $50 like I did.
Doesn't have Win10 drivers yet, but surely you're not pleb enough to be running win10, right anon?
>>54899724

My sister has a 2i2, I could not get it to record my bass without clipping.
>>54900004
you're supposed to DI a bass you knob
>>54894015
because it can't handle the input gain from a guitar without clipping. even with input gain at almost nothing. same issue with my audiobox usb
>>54894015
Drivers are shit
>>54900147
why? that concerns me.
>>54900099
it has a guitar symbol on the box, so I figured it would work. I have a guitar with Duncan JB humbucker in it and it would clip on the lowest volume setting as well if I picked too hard.
Considering that I have a 2i2 freely available, while DI box would cost money, it was worth a try.

no one cares about your shitty music anyway

on the back. (stock photo from Lexicon 'cause I'm not disconnecting mine just for a pic)
Honestly, if I were going to add a mic to it, I wouldn't be using just the mic pre on the lexicon; I'd throw a tube MP in there.

>Pre-owned
Never again pre-owned. Bought a mobile pre, tested it in shop and everything functioned fine. Fast forward a few months and nothing works.
>>54900298
Sounds like it was just shit, nothing to do with pre-owned.
>>54900229
that is not news to me. I have not published any music to date. I just wanted a way to practice guitar silently.
If you plan on recording anything high impedance like guitars, dont. It has no pad so you'll get poor recordings *(if you can even hear it)

What about keyboard/synth? What's recommended?
Also, should I go for the soundcard meme?
How's the Avid Fast Track Solo?
>>54900541
midi? should be fine
>>54900541
line audio in from the keyboard/synth?
Lexicon Alpha on up from there. If you want to go internal then an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or Audiophile 192 (I had a 192, awesome card)
>>54895906
I own it and it powers literally everything I throw at it. I use it with an LCD-2 and sometimes GR07. No complaints about sound quality either.
>>54894015
I am using one daily as a DAC. It's OK. Think if you are going to use all these multiple in/out interfaces. If not, get a simplier DAC.
so 2i3 is coming out soon? what does it offer over 2i2? what is 2i4?
>>54903160
>2i2
Two input channels, two outputs ones (stereo)
>2i4
Two input, four output
>18i8
18 input, 8 output, for mixing
>2i3
What the fuck
>>54903248
>>2i3
>What the fuck
I was just going on what someone in the thread said.
>>54894193
Meanwhile I plug my microphone directly into my Motherboards on board audio interface and have zero issues whatsoever
>bought 2i2
>next day Focusrite announces 2nd gen
>order had already shipped
REEEEE
>>54905903
This announcement video is the least informational promotional material every produced.
>>54905903
What's the difference?
>>54906183
Instrument input has more headroom. 2i2 has clipping issues with some guitars. That's a huge deal for me.
