MOTU M2 USB Audio Interface
Рет қаралды 33,057
Күн бұрынIn this episode, we have a look at and listen to the MOTU M2 USB audio interface. An audio interface allows you to record professional level XLR microphones into your computer and play back your computer’s audio to high quality external powered speakers or headphones. We cover the features of the M2, what you can expect with microphones like the Shure SM7B, how to use the loopback feature, and much more.
If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at school.learnlightandsound.com including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.

Great Seeing you Curtis. I have been very busy with the Church. Wanting to be a full time Engineer for them. Going again early this Sunday for Sound Check. This Interface is very cool. I recommend this interface since day one. I use the Ultralite Mk.4 and love it. Listening to you now on it. Another great review video. Keep up the great work. I love this interface very much. Build is not quite as solid as my Ultralite mk.4 but it is a cheap device, but my Focusrite Solo is like a tank, and the knobs are solid. No wobble at all. By the way I have a Choir singer in my church that used to work for Focusrite. The Lord finds me cool things and people to be around. Thanks again Curtis.

This is my first and current audio interface. Purchased it along with the Shure SM7B with a CloudLifter as well all a few months ago. Sound quality from the Blue Yeti USB to this is night and day difference. The Sm7b is incredible with everything no complaints. Did alot of research and was going towards the Scarlett 2i2 but glad I returned it and got the Motu M2 as the Reviews seem to favor the M2. With the Cloudlifter connected with SM7B I'm around the 2 o'clock position for Mic Gain. Also my Sennheiser HD 650s work Great with this for Monitoring along with using it as a interface for the computer so I can listen to music etc. Get this if you want a Great entry level audio interface.

@@kartikeyabhalla6358 I don't see the ZOOM or MixPre field recorders as a great everyday fit as audio interfaces. The ZOOM F6 in particular is a pain because you have to menu-dive every time you use it to put it into audio interface mode. And unless you go with the MixPre-10, you don't have any balanced outputs for those monitors. So then you'd need a stereo DI box which adds expense and adds clutter to your desk. I'd go with a dedicated audio interface like the M2.

I love my Motu M4, it's been fantastic. Running on Windows 10, no issues at all. The only thing that happens to me once in a great while is that the audio will occasionally play back a little faster than it should (on say a youtube video), and I just restart it and it doesn't happen again. This only happens after a complete reboot of my entire system, no other issues to report. I couldn't be happier with it, rock solid.

I have had the M2 for some months, and I like it in a lot of ways, except I really wish it wasn't bus powered. I used a longer cord for a while and was getting crackling noise out of my speakers / headphones. I contacted Motu and they told me to go back to the (far too short) stock cord. It helped but didn't totally eliminate the issue. Seems to me like it is a problem with the Bus Powered design. Overall I love it for my streaming and voiceover for my videos, just wish I could use a longer cord at my Sit/Stand desk.

Thanks, Curtis! I really like the Motu M2, but one thing I miss from the Scarlett Solo that it replaced, is the option to record as 1 channel, when using 1 microphone, at least in Windows ("Format not supported by the device"). I can choose Mono recording in my usual DAW, but not in one of the programs that I use for work - so the Motu ends up recording to one side only, and I have to fix it later. The workaround, weirdly, is to choose Loopback as the mic while recording, although I don't really understand why that works.

@@curtisjudd The app I have, that records a single microphone from the Motu M2 as "1 side only" audio, is Camtasia -- which I use to make my employer's KZfaq videos. Fortunately (1) Camtasia can mix it down to mono after recording, so I don't need to export it to a DAW for just that, and (2) anyway I most often record the audio first in the DAW, then import it to Camtasia, and use Camtasia to make and edit screen recordings for the video part. So the M2's lack of its own "1 channel" option is not a deal-breaker, just something to work around . I use the M2 with a Shure SM7B and Cloudlifter, and have been happy with it.

Hi again, Curtis. You answered a few of my questions regarding the Vocaster 2 recently. Just wondering how this unit stacks up to the V2 for pre-recorded podcasting. Again, no live-streaming, and I usually add bumper music and sound effects in post. So, no need for on-board effects. I'm specifically interested in hearing your thoughts about the quality of the pre-amps in both, as well as if the Vocaster 2's inclusion of the camera TRS output is enough of a feature to tip the scales in its favor. Also, does the Motu offer any voice sculpting in its software? I know you didn't really care for the Vocaster 2's four pre-set voice effects, but I was wondering if the Motu improves on the V2 in this regard. Again, another terrific review here. You're among the best at what you do, Brother. Cheers.

I HAD BEEN planning to get an iPhone, but recently shifted my focus to creating a super-low budget "kit plan" (to help low-budget or entry-level kids learn filmmaking) and iPhones are pretty expensive😆 Currently, this "MINIMAL" kit includes a GoPro HERO 4 Silver (about $40 used) using the non-distortive "Linear" lens mode. I would still like to get an iPhone when budget allows, and will put it in the kit I call my "Advanced Filmmaker's Kit" (this kit is more expensive and/or less easy-to-use overall.

One has to be careful about the fine print on 32Bit Float devices! Some record wide dynamic range, impervious to gain staging mistakes or unexpected loud noises, and other's don't - usually without mention on the box or in adverts, when they don't support wide dynamic range.
@curtisjudd 3 жыл бұрын
Best to assume that nothing supports wide dynamic range unless they specifically state that they do. And the manufacturers who do use multiple ADCs to support wide dyanamic range should not call this feature "32-bit float". That confuses the issue further.

Having an issue with my MOTU-M2, that seems phantom power related. I recently got a BOYA6060L shotgun XLR mic that uses phantom power. I noticed right away I was hearing an obvious amount of hiss/white noise in the signal on the MOTU-M2. When I disable phantom on the MOTU and power the mic from a battery, no noise. I've tried several other mics and none of them do this on phantom power on the MOTU. On the other hand, tried the BOYA mic with a different XLR interface that provides phantom and there was NO noise there. Any guesses as to what might be happening?
