About this video
In this video Zane from Simple Green Tech does an USB audio interface setup for beginners demonstration going over how to connect an audio interface to your computer and how to connect a microphone to your audio interface along with instruments and studio monitors. I also show you how to setup your audio interface in your DAW so you can start recording in your home studio right away. I hope this helps you on your journey into home studio music production. The USB audio interface that I use for this video is the popular Focusrite 2i2 but the things I show you will work with pretty much every audio interface.

What happens to my regular PC audio output (currently going to my Mackie speakers, same as these) when I connect a 2i2 as shown? Do I patch the PC audio back into the 2i2? In other words, can I set up as shown here, but still have regualr PC audio (eg. youtube) go to my speakers?

@AudioTechTV 4 жыл бұрын

Set your audio interface as the default audio device in windows sound properties. Then all of your audio will be routed to your speakers through the 2i2. Typically mine becomes the default interface whenever I plug it in.

@mt2r-music Жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot man! Although I’m still kinda confused about the hardware itself. I want to connect my piano (Kawai CN39) to a DAW but I really don’t know how because there are so ”many" options. On KZfaq I’ve seen people do without an audio interface and some that say you absolutely have to use one. Then there is USB type B and MIDI. Which should I use? I want to visualize my playing with software like for example Embers. But I of course also want sound. So do I need to connect my PC to USB type B MIDI to transfer both the sound and the physical playing to it be visualized? I’m a noob when it comes to audio tech and for weeks now I don’t know what to do :(

@AudioTechTV Жыл бұрын

If you’re wanting to use Embers, I’m pretty sure it works with midi files. So you’ll need to record the midi, save it and then load it into embers. I’m not too familiar with the process but I think that’s how it works. So for that you can use USB. You can also use USB to work with midi in your DAW and then use virtual instruments for the sounds. This gives you tons of different instruments that you can choose from. If you want to record the actual sound of your Kawai then you should connect the line out to the line input on an audio interface and record it as audio not midi. If your computers built in sound card has a line input you can probably connect it to that. The quality may not be as good as an audio interface and the latency might not be great but it could work. Something to keep in mind is your piano likely outputs Stereo. So if you’re getting an audio interface, get one with 2 line inputs that way you can record in stereo.

The interface I use is the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1, and I want to connect my gaming headset (I'll be switching to studio headphones soon). However, this doesn't work as intended. When I plug the 6.35mm jack into the headphone jack of the interface, I get sound, which seems great. But, my system stops receiving sound from the XLR line input until I disconnect the headphones. I've seen recommendations about "routing" the outputs and inputs correctly, but I'm unfamiliar with this term and unsure how to fix it. I hope someone in this great community can help me with this dilemma.

This is the first time this has happened. I have been using this same microphone for 6 months and it worked just fine, I never touched or changed any audio settings either. This only started to happen after I updated my FL Studio.

@AudioTechTV Жыл бұрын

If you’re talking about something like a gamer headset then no. I haven’t really used one. But if you’re wondering about studio headphones then yes. If you want a decent pair for mixing you’ll need to spend a bit of money. Personally I use a combo of Audio Technica ATH M50x and Beyerdynamic DT770 770 pro 250 ohm version. I probably use the DT770 more during the main mixing just because I like the comfort. If you’re on a budget the Tascam TH02 headphones are decent. But audio Technica also has some lower models that can be decent too. You want to try to find headphones that have a flat frequency response. Usually if you visit a manufacturer website they will have a graph. No headphones will be perfect. Once you get your headphones it may take some time to get used to the frequencies they hype or don’t allow you to hear well. I like using virtual studio plugins like Waves NX series to go with my headphones it can really help quite a bit and also help you to get used to your headphones. I hope this helps.

If your headset has a separate connector for the mic and headphone then you would likely need adapters to plug the mic into the mic input and headphones into the headphone output. If it’s an all in one connection (TRRS) then maybe there is an adapter that goes from TRRS to XLR male and trs. I’m not sure if something like that exists but maybe it does.

@AudioTechTV 21 күн бұрын

If you want to use your audio interface as your output device then yes you should get wired headphones. There are emulated drivers that allow you to route audio so instead of hearing the output through the interface you could hear it through your Bluetooth headphones. This creates some added latency as it bypasses the interfaces output.

If you just want a mic you could use a USB mic. If you want to use a xlr microphone then you will need a mic preamp of some sort. You could use an audio interface. Another option would be to get an analog mixer that has mic preamps built into it and then connect the output from the mixer to the line input on your computer’s built in sound card.

The cables needed would depend on the type of connections on your studio monitors/speakers and the type of connections on your audio interface. Most audio interfaces will have balanced outputs with 1/4”jacks. So ideally you would want a balanced cables with a 1/4” male ends for the interface. Some monitors/speakers have 1/4” connectors, some have xlr and some have RCA. Get whatever cables work for your setup.

@AudioTechTV 2 жыл бұрын

If you’re using a 1/4” cable to connect your mic to the audio interface you won’t be going into the mic preamp. You can likely connect your mic to the audio interface with the 1/4” cable but it won’t sound the best. If your mic is a condenser microphone then you won’t be able to use it with the 1/4” cable because you can’t access the phantom power needed for a condenser.

You don’t need speakers connected. This sounds like a routing issue. You might be using the Asio4all driver. If you are you can open the control panel for it and set the output to the um2. It will likely be called “audio codec”. That’s if you’re using the plug and play driver with Asio4all.

Wait do u have to have those massive speakers in your setup or can u choose to just use headphones. Cuz I don’t want my parents knowing about my music

You don’t need speakers. You can just use headphones if you want.

I know this is old but I'm confused about the phantom power. Is that necessary? I'm about to upgrade to an xlr from usb. I just want to be able to plug my mic in and record 😭. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be buying regardless how many videos I watch. I'm technologically inept 😭

@AudioTechTV 3 жыл бұрын

If you have a condenser microphone that requires phantom power then yes phantom power is necessary. If your mic doesn’t require phantom power then it’s not necessary. When buying a mic that needs phantom power it will most likely say that it requires 48v phantom power. Condenser mics need it. Dynamics don’t.

@@AudioTechTV ok, I know I need a condenser mic, so that means I have to get an interface with phantom power? And also usb specific so it can plug into a computer? Sorry, I've watched so many videos but for some reason my brain is not comprehending. The more information I get, the more confused I feel. I feel really dumb that I can't seem to catch on like everyone else 😫

@@DanielleBaylor Just get a condenser mic, XLR cable, and most importantly, Scarlett i2i or Scarlett i4i. Though, I have yet to do this for myself. I know my tongue drum should be able to be directly recorded to Mixcraft via amp cable into audio interface. My native american flute will be the issue lol. Also, the Scarlett has built in 48v of phantom power.

Please sir, after installing my focusrite 4i4 everything thing works except the headphones which is not is not playing.how may I solve the headphones issue 🙏

@AudioTechTV 2 жыл бұрын

The 4i4 has a separate volume for the headphones. Make sure that’s turned up. It might be possible that the headphones were muted in the Focusrite control software. You can check that. If that all looks good. Try disconnecting the 4i4 from your computer and plugging your headphones directly into the computer instead of the 4i4 and see if they work when connected directly. Just to make sure that the issue isn’t with the headphones. If your headphones require a 1/4” adapter in order to plug them into the 4i4, make sure the headphones are plugged into it all the way. If there is a way for you to test the 1/4” adapter with something else, you should do that to make sure the issue isn’t due to the adapter not working.

is it possible to connect it to a pc because i want to connect it with my dt990

Thank you for the video! I have a question that can we also connect the phantom power to the interface?

@AudioTechTV 3 жыл бұрын

If you have an external phantom power supply you could connect it to the audio interface but you won’t need it as this audio interface has its own phantom power supply. Most modern audio interfaces have their own phantom power built in.

I purchased one on Amazon but I cant find name all it says is USB Audio Interface with Mic Preamplifier. Can I use just any driver?

@AudioTechTV 3 жыл бұрын

It likely just installed the generic driver for your audio interface. Go to the manufacturers website and see if they have an ASIO driver for it.

I'm a beginner and I'm looking to buy a laptop off of ebay. What is the minimum of GB's that will do the job? I've see 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. Which one do I need to get?

@AudioTechTV 2 ай бұрын

16gb of ram would be the minimum that I would go with. Most laptops are actually kind of easy to upgrade ram. When you see one that you’re going to buy, look up to see if you can upgrade the ram. This way you could go with a lower ram and then upgrade later. 32gb of laptop ram is fairly cheap on Amazon.

What about podcasts if you are not recording music and are a nube in technology

@AudioTechTV 8 ай бұрын

If you’re just recording podcasts then you can connect your interface to your computer with the included usb or usb c cable and it should install a base driver or prompt you with an installer walk through. Once it’s been installed (most do it automatically within like 10 seconds). Connect your microphone to the mic preamps using a XLR cable. Connect your headphones to the front, set your mic levels with the gain knobs on the interface or use the auto gain feature if your interface has it and record in whatever software you choose. You can connect speakers/studio monitors to the outputs on the back if you want to playback your audio through speakers or just listen to music and videos through the speakers but it’s optional. A pretty straightforward setup.

By default no. But you can install Asio4all (it’s free) and set the input as your Scarlett interface and set the output to your computers sound card then you can plug your headphones into your computer and still be able to record into the Scarlett. You just need to set your software to use Asio4all as your audio device.

You don’t need to have monitors to start recording. Monitors are more used for the mixing process anyway. But you don’t need to have them for that either. They are nice to have but not necessary.
