Andrew points out things I would never think to test. I am blown away by how much work he puts into his testing and comparing of different settings. He has great hearing! Thank you for sharing your insight with us all, Andrew!

Thank you, Andrew! Such an eye opener. Just unbelievable how often we are misled by the manufactures. Thank you for doing the tests to show us the differences, as well as confronting the manual statements.

Wow! The best review ever! Cons explained and honest opinion! Advanced things like the preamp’s tone explanation is mega useful! Those UAudio’s mistakes are truly astonishing. I’m an expert in 1176. You say all correct things.

I was waiting for this video! Funny mistake on the specs haha. I appreciate your analysis of the converters quality. I felt exactly the same when I compared it to Apollo.

By the way, best and unbiased review of the UAD Volt! Thank you for making it!

Great video as always thanks 🙏

Hello Andrey! this kind of video is extremely necessary from you! there are a lot of reviews on KZfaq, but 90% of them are useless videos, since some people are not professionals, they do not quite understand all aspects and nuances. Thanks!

I'm finishing the course this week. Here's my review. I have been watching video tutorials and reading forums for 5-6 years prior to enrolling in the course. And I have found very useful information. But... There is so much information out there on the internet, and there are so many ways to tackle a problem in the audio world, you soon get totally lost in endless hours of tutorials and how-to's. And you always feel that you don't know something. That you are missing something. And you don't know what you are missing. Exactly that problem Andrew's course started to resolve for me. It gives you a framework in which you can place all the aspects of mixing (or bettering the sound if you are a producer). It lays down a path - an algorithm of some very essential milestones you have to pass in every mix. And Andrew explains why it's better to do it that way. This algorithm is absolutely essential if you are new to mixing (or even if you have some experience which you've acquired by yourself). The whole mixing concept is divided into several main topic categories, and each category is taught for multiple hours. Very extensively. The reverb topic alone was something like 20 or more hours! I thought I knew almost everything about the Panorama topic. I was totally wrong. It turned out there were so many things I didn't know about that very important aspect of mixing. He gives you a system of sound and instrument placement even for the panorama. And the system is very good. There is a system for EQ-ing. That was one of the very best things in the course (one of many). When you finish a topic, you have a feeling that you understand it in a completely different manner - you have confidence that you know the topic reasonably well. You have the feeling you don't make shots in the dark anymore. Of Course there are many many things you don't know, but somehow you have the base of knowledge which you can start to upgrade with practice. There is one very important aspect of mixing which you cannot learn by yourself and it is to acquire aesthetic understanding for the sound. So when you hear a kick drum for example, to understand what's wrong with it - does it lack a punch, does it sound too boomy, or it has too much sub. That kind of thing. You start to learn that aspect. You have to make many, many more mixes to become better in this faculty but you already have the base. You start to know what's wrong with something when you hear it. You don't become an expert, but you start to understand it. Prior to that, if I heard a kick which I didn't like, I didn't know what exactly was wrong with it. Is it just too low in the mix? Or something else. If there were some annoying frequencies, which are they exactly? You do homework checking sessions in which you mix songs, Andrew reviews them in the class and points out what kind of mistakes you've made. You learn many, many things that way. After finishing the course, it's like you have a tree of knowledge and when you learn something new, you just put it on a particular branch, enriching your understanding of that aspect. The tree is there, standing firmly, not changing, you just put more things on the branches, you continue the growth of the branches. I highly recommend the course...

Great and informative video… For anyone who hasn’t Andrew’s course… do yourself a favor and take the free class and see for yourself

Again, the result of analitical/experimental audio engineering, which brings out conclusions only possible with Andrew's experience and continous search for perfection and audio processing. Marketing and branding is very strong nowadays and the vast majority of times obfuscates reality of things. Thanks Andrew for another priceless video and priceless real world information! You're Nr1. !

Thanks for the comparisons! It sounds like if your only interested in better audio quality for headphones and monitors a UAD Arrow will have better sound quality then the Volts? Does the arrow sound close in quality to the Twin interfaces?

Thanks for this honest review, Andrew. Truly appreciated. I have one of the big Apollos and was thinking of getting the Volt 276 for my mobile studio but wasn't really convinced. After seeing your video I'm glad I didn't make the purchase...

Very curious, thanks for the video!

Exactly what I was looking for

best music productions tutorials on youtube. like he says no BS lol

Hello Andrew, thank you so much for this video. I purchased an Warm audio WA-47 mic and connected directly to my old rme Multiface II witch have no mic preamp. The signal is very very low, I can record vocals and monitor only with headphone amplifier then processing the vocals after but I don’t know is that’s ok. I was thinking to buy An Volt 1 only for mic preamp purpose, not interested in “vintage” emulation but not anymore. My question for you is: Should I buy a mic preamp or is ok to record without one? And if it’s a must to obtain better quality, what mic preamp do you recommend under 300 E for quality only? Thank you in advance!

Thanks very much for sharing your ideas and time, I appreciate you you so much

Helpful video!

Interesting video, Andrew. I was considering these interfaces but haven't actually bought any of the Volts and stayed with my SSL 2+ and Audient EVO4 as they are all I need for the time being. Thank you as always for your detailed reviews. By the way, I always laugh about your "psycho" analyses 😂

Great review, thanks!

Appreciate you’re perspective. Looking for a mobile interface for an iPad Pro. Wondering how the EVO 4 compares to the Volt 1.

Nice video Andrew! I think it's pure marketing and with these cards they decided to take part of the market with budget cards. You have a great course also! Guys, don't be shy and sign up for a trial lesson😅

Absolutely amazing and detailed review! All things are explained. Thanks for saying, "don't forget it's my subject opinion". Hats off to you sir! P.S. I double checked their specs and the manual and you are totally right. Funny that nobody noticed it. This Universal Audio's mistake shows how stupid audio world has become.

i trust this review more than any other, bro is a genius

Great video! I am a beginner buying my first audio interface for drum covers and acoustic songwriter stuff. Seriously considering the UA 476P w 4 preamps. Does this make sense or do you recommend something else?

i was going to buy this until i saw this video. what would you suggest in the price range, guitar and mic? thank you

Interesting comparison. Still it's a shame for such renowned brands to show absolute neglect of beginner audio customers by doing confusing statements about the specs and providing the manual, which gives you more trouble than help. Thank you, Andrew.

Question: I've got the Volt 176 and rotating the monitor knob on top doesn't seem to lower or increase my mic monitoring levels. Isn't it supposed to do just that?

9:44 Does this mean that the Volt might be good with an analogue synth that is using some white noise and aesthetic distortion?

Андрей, приветствую! Подскажите плизз каким аудиоинтерфейсом пользуетесь Вы? Спасибо за ответ!

Before this dayu i sell audient id4 mk ii cause i didnt like my sound on my microphone , like plastick Now i want buy interface again I just need 1 input , just for voice over Can u make decision between SSL2 and UAD VOLT1 And what best sound for you sir between them ? Thank you

Thanks for sharing, ¿ have had you the opportunity to review the mackie onyx 2.2 producer?

So it’s better SSL 2+ than UAD Volt 276??

can you use all uad plugins on the volt serious? and does the midi and audio sound diffident in a daw???

Hey guys. What was your experience with Volt? Put it as the separate comment so I can see it.

Здравствуйте! Спасибо большое за видео!!! Подскажите пожалуйста, как вы побороли шум 7б? У меня пульт dhd и wing и на обоих нужно усиление 50+ дБ. Появляется ощутимый шум.

Hey foks, first to say, i learn to mix music sinse 8 years now, i really was thinking i know a lot of stuff, but i starded the course because i needed way to long to mix one track, somethimes i was like sitting for three month on one mix. I never had good understanding of Equalisation, man andrew changed my life in mixing, ist how when you dreaming that someone come to you and explain how this world work, in mixing world Andrew is that guy, i don't want to go in details but for me all that mixing and music stuff, is very very important to me, i was really sad when i mixt for three month. Now i have really deep understanding of how thing works together in the mix. Really big respect to people like Andrew for sharing they're deepest knowledge of such a difficult material. I can only thanks and says to all others, when you want to learn how to mix music, Andrew is right choiсe.

I'm new to all this. What is the difference between the volt 1 vs volt 2? Is it just additional audio inputs?

In the commercials for these types of audio interfaces, the manufacturer says they are designed for "songwriteing", i.e. creating demos, not professional recordings (and I totally agree) I had a bad experience with the Volt 1, connected to an Audio Technica 4050SM the sound is too choked, the camera air no longer enters the microphone capsule... (too dense sound which made it hard to hear the details of the instrumentals) The stereo image is very narrow, I didn't like what I heard at all (connected to the HS7) A week after I bought it I sold it to a friend who needed it more.

Спасибо большое, Андрей!

Do you think it’sworth switching my audio interface from ag03 to volt 276?? I’m amature and still improving my mix skills though I mainly use at4040 for recording my acoustic guitar and sometimes just plug in my strat for have some fun

Just brilliant.

Супер обзор! Хотелось бы услышать сравнение еще и между Apollo 6 (8) и к примеру, Motu

So, which explanation of this 76 timings is accurate? The specs written in the manual are correct and the "preset" info is bullshit, correct? (I don't have it but I'm considering of buying one)

Nice! How much time have you spent on all these tests? Impressive!

comment for support!

Спасибо за обзор, Андрей. Приколько смотреть и слушать тебя на английском)) С меня лайк и подписка!

Andrew you've mentioned that you were going to make a video about what mastering is really about. Each time you upload something new I'm reading a book on mastering and would be nice to know what is the real purpose of it

Hello Sir! First of all, thank you for your very informative videos. I need for you opinion if you can..? Im a professional bassoon player and I need to record my bassoon as well is possible. I have: Adam T7V, Rode NT2 Can you propose a Audio Interface which is perfect for me and these devices that I have, around 300$? I need 2 inputs - 2 or 4 outputs, direct monitorint by switch (with effects if is possible) and a headphones port for sure. Thank you in advance!

Great content! Can you provide a link to your sm7b mic stand? thanks

Andrew, loke your audio interface topic. Waiting for converters compare…

Круто спасибо за обзор а я вообще не знал что у UAD вышел бюджетный интерфейс))

universal audio volt or ssl2+?

Personally I've found the ioStation24c the best bang for the buck. Outstanding converters, preamps, and a mini-DAW controller with motorized fader to boot. Your mileage may vary but if you're shopping for an interface put it on your list to consider. It's the first one I grab for the lappy on the go if it's in my site (I have wayyy too many interfaces but he who dies with the most toys wins!)

Can you give us the one we can buy something cheaper

Нэллоу, красавчик! Вери Гуд видео

If only this volt came with adat .. to add other UA or interface to expand ! Would make amazing top competing with SSL

Thanks for pointing out the sloppy and inaccurate descriptions of the analog compressor presets. That is really concerning from a UAD quality assurance standpoint.

What about the evo16?

Андрей, скажите пожалуйста как можно с вами связаться? Мой номер есть в аккаунт моего канала. Заранее благодарен. С уважением, Ренат.

In myy experience of 6years into sound tech, I've always found that at that price range, if we are talking about preamp only, Audient always wins the game. With ID series and ASP line. Till it hits the Apollo X unison ranges. Then Apollo shows its superiority.

I have the Apollo and it causes troubles when your Mac switches to sleep mode. It makes your Mac crash! What causes (I think)it is that it's in fact an old Arrow (so nothing really special) and has no power switch. Tried everything but no luck on the Mac M1. So therefore I'm about to get me a Volt 467...

“Collar” Deadly

Andrew, where one may listen to the ready songs that you have mixed?

my comment for support

The UAD 467p volt is the best audio interface I have ever heard this that price point...I switched from a motu M4 (which is not bad) and I immediately heard a lot more separation between the instruments..., Gonna buy two more just to have in case one breaks....

Только что закончил курс. По просьбе Андрея копирую мой отзыв сюда: Лучший курс звукорежиссуры который на данный момент есть в мире. Каждая тема курса, (а их очень много и все важные), рассматривается со всех сторон, с выделением не только ключевых нюансов, но и с уникальными техниками от автора курса. Я в ходе учебы почерпнул очень много полезного и отказался от большого количества ненужных вещей при сведении и мастеринге, типа распиаренных, дорогих и оказавшихся бесполезными и даже вредными плагинов. Автор курса на отличном русском языке не только рассказывает, но и ведет полноценный диалог со слушателями. Детальный разбор важнейших техник в звукорежиссуре, проверка домашних заданий, все это делает данный курс просто уникальным. В общем, наверное, это единственный учебный курс, который я могу рекомендовать на 100%.

Забавно, когда такие уважаемые компании как UA допускают такие глупые опечатки в мануалах :)
