I really love how the distressor's gain reduction meter became the angry meter for the show. Even the colors match the intensity.

I own the Volt 276. I bought it for my podcast/streaming setup but I have ended up using it on nearly everything. There's phantom power for tube mics & the compressors(algos) built in are incredible for vocals(I use a Shure SM-7B for podcasting/streaming). I don't normally use them on guitar. At $299 it's a bit pricier than other interfaces but the UA quality & suite of software that came with mine is worth the bit extra. I highly recommend the Volt 276👍👍

Just a pity that they don't try to make it class compliant so they can force you to register to download the drivers. Makes it unsuitable for Linux and android for example. Without that and the lack of adat I would insta buy this, it's a nice interface for a musician (not sure if its features are useful for a real recording nerd).

I have the 476 and I love it. One nice touch that I really like is that it has a dedicated power switch, so I don't have to disconnect the USB cable to keep it from being powered on 24/7.

🧙🏻‍♂ I have had an Octa-Capture since 2011 & I never power it down. It's still going. Turning units on/off frequently actually creates spikes that stress sensitive components more. The 476 is a wise choice though as the external power supply will give more reliable phantom power.

@Bob-of-Zoid Жыл бұрын

I do big time! I have barraged Glenn about it more than once! On the other hand though I think it safe to say, that although it works, all of the software and remote control (if any) is made for Windows and Mac's only, sometimes Android and although one can easily live without, it's not just free software, as there's always a cost involved to the maker that is included in the price meaning as all to often the case with so much hardware, we get to pay for something we cannot even use. Same problem when for some odd reason they make something dependent on a specific browser, and browsers are resource hogs because they have to "do it all" and are more like OS's sans driver control. The sheer idea of doing it in such a roundabout way, is ludicrous, unless there is a hidden agenda like tracking your every move, and what not! At minimum with all of those devices where you have no other option but to control certain features via the computer it would be great if they released a list of codes needed to do so, and it can be done without open sourcing the "Secret sauce", as it literally requires no more than a few simple commands like Up and Down in their language equals whatever you use in your language, and the number of increments there are for each, to control things, so literally just a text file as an interpreter of simple commands between their controls on the device and your software to control it. Knowing the triggers doesn't require access to all the underlying programming. It may even make sense if they did the same for themselves, so that they can reuse code more easily and have a standard for their whole line of hardware. I looked around for a while to end up with the Behringer UMC204HD which uses the standards, just as the new model came out no longer adhering to them! ASSHOLES!! I mean really are they that stupid or just plain mean!

I’ve been using this volt 276 interface as my main interface, in aggregate with my axe/io as an interface for guitar instruments. I have to say that I don’t really enjoy the compressors because they just don’t give me any control over the compression like I get from the plugins that I have. It’s too much of a black box, and I’m just not able to get much of anything good out of built in compressor buttons but ymmv. I also haven’t found much use in the vintage button, and I try it every once in a while but never end up using it for anything. Other than that it’s a nice little unit. It does the job and doesn’t get in the way, and it doesn’t seem to have any problems with my MacBook Pro.
