In this video, I compare the Arturia MiniFuse with the Focusrite Scarlett and the MOTU M2 audio interfaces. All with the Neumann U87 high end condenser microphone. This is a comparison of the Arturia MiniFuse for vocal recordings with the Scarlett 2i2 and the MOTU audio interface. I discuss the sound quality, build quality, durability, warranty, and features including latency, audio connections, MIDI ins and outs, and software included. These are budget affordable cheap audio interfaces that get the job done really well. And you’ll have to hear the audio samples to find out which is best for you.

Some food for thought: If you collborate with vocalists & instrumentalists, having a monitor mix knob enables them to readily adjust their input relative to the bed tracks/full mix to suit their comfort level, their style of singing/playing, and the type of music in each particular track WITHOUT having to ask the recording engineer/tech (i.e. you!) to make the adjustments (and go back & forth - perhaps communicating from one room to another - until the headphone mix has been optimized). If they are recording on more than one song for you, they can make adjustments on the fly more quickly. So, IMHO, the fact that the Arturia interface has the mix knob can be a big plus for many with home studios. Of course, if you use a quality studio headphone amp, it may have a mix knob, and my point becomes moot. Last, the monitor mix knob also can be useful in the same way if you use in-ears when you're doing a gig.

@@cheynobi6602 The Motu M2 is by far the best for narrations and VO work. I have a degree in audio engineering and I do VOs and I can tell you that it is the best in that price range, simply because it has the lowest latency while still capturing everything with perfect accuracy. It also has more than strong enough mic preamps to even bring an SM7 up to level. You want lower latency for VOs since you need to record while also watching the clip and listening to the other sound cues.

MOTU is incredible hardware in my experience. Love my M4. My main complaint about the MOTU M2 and the new Scarletts is the lack of the "system audio / direct monitor" fader that the Scarlett 2i4 2nd Gen and the MOTU M4 have. I'm definitely impressed by the Arturia though... might be a game changer compared to Scarletts.

For me it was MOTU pretty closely followed by the Arturia, with the Focusrite in third. I own the M4 which has the mix knob that the M2 lacks, So if the additional cost isn't an issue for someone, You get that feature plus the additional I/O. my church had the 4 channel Focusrite, and we were never fully impressed with the sound quality at least through our A&H DLive and EAW PA. So we started using someone's Presonus until we switched over to MOTU's M4's which was an additional step up in sound quality from the Presonus, which was a step up from the Focusrite to begin with. and in regards to MOTU's warranty and reliability Our church also has two MOTU 24 I/O's that have been going strong since 2009, and still sound excellent, So the shorter warranty would probably be a non-issue for me. I also appreciate MOTU not skimping on their preamps in their lower end models, and essentially just opting for less features for their cheaper products without sacrificing sound quality. Great video! I appreciated the unbiased review of the gear.

this was awesome. I have the 2nd gen Scarlett 2i2. Looking forward to you trying out the newer UAD interfaces when they release. in mix you vocals sound crisp all around! 808s were super crunchy and beautifully distorted. the M2 looks great and sounds awesome. For the price, if you can get one, seems like a steal. I luckily have a headphone amp for my 990 Pros so that's not an issue here.

Thank you for this video - appreciated. It is almost impossible to understand quality difference between these interfaces in KZfaq video, since the audio in KZfaq is highly compressed and cutted. But even in such circumstances, it is evident Motu has much better sound than other two participants. This is proved by technical characteristics: Motu dynamic range is much higher and own noise level in Motu is much lower, than any other interface. The only one cons, which I've observed in Motu - poor of bundle SW (you've mentioned that in your video). So, my choose is Motu.

I'm waiting for the MiniFuse 4 early next year. Suspecting it might be $199. It just has everything I need, so I've been holding off upgrading my audio interface. So many times I've had a Scarlett in my cart and cancelled, and once these were announced I've been settled on the 4. I tend to get all gear in black but my current black audio interface is in a dark location on my desk and I have problems seeing it very well unless I turn on my desk light, so I'm going for the white version.
@connorcarbon Жыл бұрын
It's out and seems about $220! I'm thinking about getting one but now Motu just announced the M6. They're not direct competitors but for my use case they are! Don't need all the inputs of the M6, but want that minimal latency and actual monitoring LCD, and hardware button to turn on direct monitoring! But the Minifuse 4 has 2 USB ports and is a lot more clear and direct about how exactly it can serve two separate mixes to the two different headphone outs. It seems the Motu M6 can kinda do that? But they don't explain it well at all. @SanjayC better clear this up for us 😁

Hello Sanjay C. Thank you for your review on the three audio interfaces, but I like to ask you for help and recommendations. I'm an animator new to audio recordings, and I'm currently looking for an audio interface that I can use to start a gaming channel but do live streaming once in a while. I'm also planning to use it for voice acting and recording acoustic guitar sounds as a hobby. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo, the MOTU M2 and the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1 sounded high quality from listening to your recordings from your previous KZfaq comparison videos. However, I'm stuck with choosing the suitable interfaces that fit my gaming channel and other hobbies. What do you suggest that I should pick?
@TheB1gduk 2 жыл бұрын
Do a blind test, you will struggle to tell the difference. Also the AIR feature on the Scarlett can lift the sound. The truth is , technology is so good now and has been for a while that trying to decide on the sound quality is like splitting hairs. Its more likely you would choose one for a feature you want rather than not liking the sound of another. Another crutial aspect of these interfaces is the stability of and latency of the ASIO drivers. The Scarlett has been rock solid on this front and can get very low buffer and latency.

Arturia’s definitely aiming at the guitar player driven music crowd with the plug-in suite. EMT140, 1073 pre, analog chorus, tape delay (holy smokes the presets are like having an fx rack unit). So much better than the Focusrite/Pro Tools thing we’ve been getting repackaged for years & years.

Hey, are you still satisfied with the Minifuse? I would use it for playing Guitar and plug in a Mic and Headphones for discord mainly. I am currently deciding between the Minifuse 2, Scarlett Solo 3rd, Evo 4 and Audient iD4 MKII (and maybe Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2).

@@TheFruitcube highly satisfied, two of my kids have the Scarlett Solo but I like the preamps in the Arturia for guitar, everything is just smoother and doesn't get nasly sounding when you crank the input gain. I just have the Minifuse 1, but I'd get the 2 for multitracking.

For anyone wondering: i tried HD 650 on motu M2 and it was quite loud enough for me around 60% knob. Maybe it was just me but I didn't like it enough compared to HD 598CS, so returned it back. Currently testing the Beyer DT1990s and they're awesome too around 50-60% volume level on motu M2 (loving the punch /kicks on this one) BTW - Awesome video Sanjay!! Was waiting for this one from some time 🤘😁

@@SanjayC update on experience of dt1990: Liked it better than HD 650. I was able to hear stuff which didn't hear earlier ever from mixes (specially the spitfire's samples and even in KZfaq videos) . Lows were adequate for me. That piercing high? Not experienced it yet, as i haven't used it in long sessions and have recreated only a single piece until now with it. Still have a month for return window (mind says yes for return but my heart says no 😁) Ughh the G.A.S. is real in this one (as I was also eyeing some orchestral libraries for black Friday 😂)

It's getting hard now to choose on real life performance - I'm sure all of these interfaces would be great. I have an M4 which I can thoroughly recommend albeit a bit pricier than these. Maybe if all the software from the arturia is good for you that would swing it? I had a scarlet 18i20 mk1 before the m4 and that was pretty solid. Only sold it because of size and needing an external power supply. It's difficult to get it wrong with an interface these days!

you should maybe explain a little more about how are you recording and comparing these. are we listening to the same exact voice track being converted, or are these different performances? if they are different, then the little nuances in each vocal performance is going to also color the sound. so its difficult to asses exactly what has changed

I got the Motu M4 and I think right now is one of the best interface on the market, low latency, 60dB gain on pre-amps, -129 dB EIN and 120 dB dynamic range in outputs (Including Headphones) beautiful LCD meters, Loopback, MIDI outputs, On-Off switch, separate phantom power for each channel, direct monitor for each channel and playback/monitor mix knob. If Motu can bring the same M4 with ADAT to expand that interface, the others interfaces are doomed.

@Sanjay C & MAC users - Nice overview and comparison... but I miss one important detail: The software driver requirements. I have noticed that the ARTURIA needs audio and midi drivers even on the MAC platform!? Why is this? Isn't it possible todo everything with core MacOS stuff? As far as I know, some other interfaces do not need any extra software, for instance: Behringer, Roland. Any thoughts, pros, cons and experiences are much appreciated.

It left me with one question, though, that I kindly would like to ask for your answer on: did you use the "air mode" when recording on the focusrite? and if not, could you kindly add this somehow? (if you're doing a new video it would be great to have the volt included in the comparison as well.) thank you very much in advance and have a nice day!

@@SanjayC This is really cool, thank you! I'm already looking forward to a comparison between the Volt 2 and MiniFuse 2 ;) Currently I'm using an old Tascam US-122 MK II and just ordered and tried the Scarlett 2i2. And I have to say I missed the input/monitor mix knob that I had on the Tascam - so I'll send the Scarlett back. But if you have a pro tipp on how to listen to your input signal louder than the mix while recording, that would be awesome! (Maybe you could kindly drop this in the comparing video?!) Since nearly no other small USB interface have this knob, I wonder how others deal with that. Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Looks like the MiniFuse has the connectors screwed to the case. This doesn't look as clean as the competitors, but improves durability as there is less stress on the soldering when cables are plugged in. If this kind of quality is applied on the entire design, I believe that it'll last way longer as its competitors.

I've been having some latency issues with my current Midi keyboard setup. I'm fairly certain it's on the adapter I use (some LogiLink Midi to USB adapter). It's not too bad, but it throws me off everytime I want to play something on the quicker side. Would the Motu M2 be worth an extra 60€ (cheapest one I can find around my area is 210€) for that? Or do you think the Arturia would do just fine (150€) ?
