The price for the amount of stuff you get is excellent. thinking about picking one up as I get more into multi tracking jazz improv with some friends of mine! Thanks for the review!

Great video! The SSL interfaces have been a great add to a crowded market. I was recently looking for a new interface and ended up getting the Audient ID44 but i was looking at the SSL interfaces as well. The 4k switch is interesting. I think more recording people need to start commiting to sounds and just going with them and not getting option paralysis. But thats just my thoughts

@malonedrum 4 ай бұрын

I agree, it's an art form that people have drifted away from and there's something helpful about making choices in the process, instead of after the fact.

Thanks so much! There are so few reviews of the SSL 12, this was very useful and well presented! (no Sweetwater where I live unfortunatlety ;-) but we have Thomann). Was torn between this and the Motu M4 - but the SSL is more versatile and seems equally easy to use and portable. You haven't mentioned the 32 bit float, I'm guessing you just keep recording at 16/24 bit!

@malonedrum 4 ай бұрын

The 32 bit float is another great feature I really didn't even get to, correct. Hope this works for you!

Hey Mike, great video and review. I was wondering if you’re using Ventura or Sonoma. I bought the 2+ and on Sonoma , I get audio output on one channel. Everything worked fine until I updated to 14.5😢

awesome review. can you use it as direct monitoring ("stand alone")? I mean it's plugged to mac but mac is power off and you are able to listen what's coming from the inputs? like a analog mixer.

@malonedrum Ай бұрын

I’m not sure you’re supplying power without having your Mac on

I saw you playing bass in another video. As a longtime drummer who is learning bass, I’d be interested in your path to learning bass and guitar. Which did you learn first, what’s been challenging, how it’s helped your drumming, etc. Maybe you could make a video on that!

@malonedrum 4 ай бұрын

I don’t really play guitar besides just knowing a few campfire chords, but I love being behind the bass and it’s certainly helped me grow as a drummer and at the same time be easier to learn due to my experience behind the drums. I started mostly just to jam along with my students, and then to hop during the house gig I played where a lot of drummers would come sit in. I’m not great, but enough to be on the sub list for a few churches and other very low things.

@iengineer_247 4 ай бұрын

I'm thinking of getting another one. Keep in mind art has a built in talk back mic you can use for an input as a room mic.

@malonedrum 4 ай бұрын

I haven’t actually tried to see if I can route the talkback channel on logic, but would love that for the Phil Collins room mic approach.

@@malonedrum not bad for the price right !! i sort of wish it had adat in and out so you could easily send line outs from daw to outboard gear and then back in. I have one but am thinking about maybe switching to the audient id44. has 20 ins and 22 outs i believe. an old focusrite saffire pro40 that’s now obsolete with new machines can be used through adat with newer interfaces. really quick cheap way to get a bunch more ins, also those old saffire preamps are not bad at all
