Better than both the Scarlett solo and the m track solo (which i bought and returned both) for functionally purposes imo. Plus the mtrack solo is known to have some red light catastrophic failure that’s never mentioned. I wish there was more research and experience with use that went into these recommendations vs a first impression for views. Especially for uneducated audio equipment users like myself

Great video. I'm a novice. I have some electronic knowledge. But new nothing about audio interface. A few weeks ago I decided to try to to make karaoke singing videos to upload on my KZfaq channel. I used my S21 phone for recording playing the karaoke video from my PC and singing (badly)!. The video and sound came out ok. I'm now looking to buy a audio interface like the scarlet . I will connect the audio output to my S21 for now and see if there is an improvement in the sound quality. Now here is the question. Where do I connect the audio line out from my PC to the Focusrite scarlet to mix with the microphone sound output? Also, what kind of a reasonable price microphone should I buy? Thank you

hey there i'm trying to figure out how to use my 2 XLR mics through EVO 4 interface to my Nikon Z30. I would like to try stereo recording, have one mic be as the left mic and have the other be as the right mic so I can have a binaural audio when I record. I'm currently using 2 XLR cables to power my mics which is connected to my evo's line in and then i have a dual 1/4" TS (connected to my evo interface's line outputs) to 1/8" TRS jack (connected to my camera). For some reason it only sends a mono signal to my camera. I had a zoom H4N before as an audio interface and it would send a stereo signal to my camera. Please give me suggestions on what I should do! thank you!

@Richard-kl9bb 7 ай бұрын

Hi, great info, got a question for you. I'm designing a set up where an XLR shotgun mic will run through the 2i2 and link to the camera via the headphone jack, the camera is being used as a webcam. The audio and visual will be recorded via webcam/screen capture software on the computer. A HDMI cable with capture card links the audio/visual from the camera to the computer which keeps it synced. None of my cables run over six feet in length so there should be no or very low interference. The question is do I need to download and use the 2i2 software for any reason in this set up? The 2i2 should work with the power only via the usb cable. The reason I'm asking is because if a usb cable is plugged into my computer when the HDMI is linked it mutes the volume so I can't hear via the screen capture set up. I'm thinking of powering the 2i2 from an adapter via the mains or from another computer which means the software would be irrelevant. Would this work?

@Richard-kl9bb 6 ай бұрын

The answer is yes you do need to download the software. This way of setting up works amazingly well for screen capture tutorial work with Camtasia, audio and video sync is super stable. If your lighting is good and you have sound treated your workspace there is no editing required. Boom, highly efficient workflow, Back of the Net my Son - (UK football (soccer) term).
