@@Rv_Music108 no problem are you on IG?

@@michaeltrenierI dont have an ig for this KZfaq channel. I have an ig called @geezer.official for a music project I was working in

@@michaeltrenier here is a link to one of my music projects. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbl7opCWyrq7cX0.html

@@Rv_Music108 bet I’ll check it out bro!

Thanks!!!

Thank you!

You're welcome! I didnt use the vocal strip yet. I'm going to try it out soon. Just wanted to get the clean sound of the pre. To export drums in Garage band just create your drums then click share to disk. Then you just open your daw, click import audio and find your GB drums and import them. Garage band is only on mac unfortunately. 👍

landon davenport well, the “clean sound” sound very good! Thanks again man, I will buy the ssl2+ soon as I can. Just to own a SSL gear for the first time :) and to make some music..

@@zahalzahal You're Welcome! Have Fun!

Thank you very much! Sweetwater is a great company. My rep is also named Matt. Maybe the same guy. This interface will definitely work with logic or any DAW. I used logic before I got pro tools.

How do you like the Warm Audio 87?

RV_ Music It’s a very good microphone and the sound is very warm and well built..

Pavement is literally my favorite band! Hahaha best comment :)

I've only used sony mdr7506 headphones and never need to turn up passed 12 o' clock. I pulled this from the ssl website: [Typically a pair of headphones with a very high impedance (250 Ω, for example) would suffer from a lack of power when used with a very low source impedance output. SSL 2/2+ is designed with professional audio quality in mind, which means that there is ample power to drive any headphones from SSL 2/2+ headphone output]

RV_ Music Thank you very much for your reply. I will order one today. All the best.

@@dirkjanranzijn you're welcome! Thank you

Thank you! I typically use the slate virtual mix rack on almost everything while tracking. I havent experienced any latency issues. I track at 48khz. I cant recall what my buffer rate is, I'm away from my computer but i think its 512 samples. I recall having some latency when using big reverb plugins like slate verb suite. Not an issue cause they're usually on an aux send anyways. I dont have any issues with virtual instruments either. I use ANA 2, Xpand and SSD drums with no problems. I'm running a 2015 macbook with 16gbs of ram...I think? I hope this helps! Cheers

@@Rv_Music108 it helps a lot, thank you for taking the time to answer me in detail. By chance, have you tried the Focusrite Clarett 2pre USB? I'm between these two, and I would like to read someone's opinion about their converters. Thanks again.

@@bastianmaze_beats8730 you're welcome. I havent tried it, but I know the pre amps are a step above the sapphire/scarlett interfaces. I'm sure it's great. I have the focusrite sapphire pro 26 and it's a good interface but the ssl 2+ is noticeably better imo.

@@Rv_Music108 Thank you!

@@Rv_Music108 hope I'm not bothering you, I just want to clear my doubts before purchasing. I saw on other video that the headphone out does not work well with low impedance headphones, do you have any comments on that? And, if using it with the usb C to usb A cable, does it get enough power to function properly? Thanks a lot!

Interesting, i can see there being a bit more sibilance with the 4k switch on but not too much, i’ve used many different mics and the pre amps are crisp and clean. Maybe you can correct it with EQ or a de-esser plugin

@@Rv_Music108 I'm not happy with my purchase. I think I should've got something like the Focusrite, but I'm hoping the SSL with work fine with other microphones I will purchase in the future, but it's certainly turning out to be very costly.

Hello, thanks for the comment. I’m not sure I fully understand your question. I haven’t had any audible latency even with many tracks and plugins running. Im using a 2017 macbook. Ive never needed to adjust the knob on the interface. Are you referring to the mix control software thats used with the saffire pro? Is that how you would monitor the dry mic signal?

@@Rv_Music108 Hi, sorry, I have to admit that I was not so clear in my question. Basically in my focusrite, the audio you receive in the phone is a mix you prepare in the app mix control. On it, I put the direct analog input and DAW audio, so I have best of both worlds. My worries were with the SSL, because it has no app to manage, only that mix knob (similar to the maudio fast track) and was thinking how can I receive the direct mic audio and the daw audio with that knob. I know that this sounds a stupid question, but it is linked to my flow of work. Anyway, your answer that you don't move the knob is the same as a friend of mine. So, I bought it. Thanks for the information and sorry for the mess! :)

@@EduardoZanotti Oh ok that makes sense. I’m sure it will work fine for you. Enjoy! Thanks for watching

Hey, thanks for the comment. Yes, it has plenty of headroom to work with. Does your guitar have active pickups? My telecaster used to have active pickups and they were so hot it would clip the preamp even when turned way down.

@@Rv_Music108 hi man. No my pickups are Bare Knuckle passive humbuckers on a LP. Even on my tele, the preamps on the 2i2 clips. What I do now is I use a di box. Great to know the SSL has enough headroom.

Thank you. I typically just speak or sing the loudest part of the song and back off the gain until it isn’t clipping anymore. I’ll typically stay 3-4 inches away from the mic when singing or speaking. About the distance of a fist between your mouth and the mic. I have several mics and they are all different. I just try to get a healthy level without clipping.

Thanks for the reply. What would you say that would mean on markers of the gain knob (0-10)? My experience is that I have have a very high gain to (7-8) to have decent levels when just speaking.

@@megajonson9075 what kind of mic are you using?

@@megajonson9075 also you can use compression to level out the quite/loud parts. And if you boost the output/makeup gain of the compressor the recording will be louder overall.

@@Rv_Music108 it's sound good though, it's just what I would expected to no use that high amount of gain, but I guess I am not to familiar with phantom powered mics. It's seems you have to use quite som gain, especially if being more than 15 cm away.

Haha thank you! I usually just the leave the knob turned all the way to the output, or USB. I havent had any latency issues. The only latency I've heard is with a virtual tape machine or waves tune on the channel (big plugins). Sometimes I use it to balance the level of playback while tracking to better hear my vocals or guitar.

If you have latency issues, blending the knob to the input will lessen the latency signal, but it's still audible. Putting verbs/delays on an aux send helps. Or changing the buffer/sample rate. Hope this answered your question

Haha thanks! Twas my first KZfaq video. It affects the input only. Line or mic signal. So no, it doesnt affect what's in the daw. Cheers!

Couldn't find much info on the ad/da. 196k 24 bit. The pres sound really crisp and clear. I've owned the scarlett and saffire interfaces and I think these pres sound better. Crazy low noise floor even when the gain is cranked. Seems quality to me. 👍thanks!

I agree. It's legit.

@@Rv_Music108 can i use this interface with Se Dm1?

@@demon-ll9eg I dont see why not. Is that like a cloud lift to raise the signal on dynamic/ribbon mics? Should be fine. Cheers!

You mean prism it kills the apollos

Haha! Thank you. If you wanna check out some of my tunes here is a channel with a few of my songs. Cheers👍kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gryWaJd5rtXZhZs.html

I have only tried ath 120x headphones, works well. According to ssl the headphone amps have plenty of level for any high end headphones 👍

Thank you! I havent noticed any audible latency

RV_ Music awesome, thanks man!

Hello! First you have to create an account on the SSL website. Go to My Products on your account page, click Register a product, and select your 2 series interface from the dropdown box. Click Add, enter the serial number located on the bottom of the device (begins with S2), and then click Register. To access your software, click Get SSL Production Pack Software. After you download all the software/plugins your daw so it will scan for new plugins. They should be in your inserts/plugins folder You may have to go into your I lok account and drag the new activations into you licenses. I hope this helps!

The serial number is on the bottom of your interface

The interface comes with two different cables. One is standard USB to USB C. The other cable is USBC on both ends. It can connect to older or new macbooks👍

They're identical. The main difference is that the 2+ comes with an extra headphone out, it has MIDI In/Out, and an unbalanced pair of outs

Yes it is plenty loud. Cheers

Yes it comes with both.👍

Yes, a standard xlr cable. 👍

I've heard good things about the motu. I've never used one though so I cant tell you for sure. Both seem like great interfaces! Flip a coin lol! 👍

@@Rv_Music108 ok lol

The playback engine is SSL 2+

@@Rv_Music108 is this normal that in my pro tools it still SSL ASIO Driver?

@@chrismap7 I’m not really sure. Are you using A Mac computer?

@@Rv_Music108 computer (windows)

@@chrismap7 es normal!. Asio SSL es psrs Win 😎💪✅

I think it is compatible. The SSL interface comes with a standard USB cable and a USB-C cable to connect to newer computers

Yes it has midi in and out. Not sure about iPad. The interface connects via usb or usb c.

Sorry I just saw your comment. I've only used the Sony MDR 7506 headphones with it (63 ohm). I've never had the gain past 12 o'clock so I'm sure it would work fine. Cheers!

It's hard to say if it's better. I had the 2nd gen gen scarlett and I can say that the SSL does sound a little more detailed. I've never tried the air button on the scarlett but I really like the 4k switch on the SSL. The focusrite is more affordable so it really comes down to the amount of money you want to spend. I would probably go with the SSL but I'm sure you'll be very happy with the focusrite as well. They're great. Cheers!

@@Rv_Music108 Thank you very much.

Same here man. Because of plugins.

@@mikelo303 i buy 3 day ago the apollo twin usb is fire fire and for 99 the Avalon 737 uad plugins is next lever i recommend

@@videntemusic2465 any issues with the apollo?

@@A1DULLU no men i love i think is the best audio interface i buy all my life

@@videntemusic2465 thanks I want to get one soon...but alot of people seem to be having issue with it...I would get the twin x but I don't have thunderbolt

I think so. The extra headphone jack comes in handy.

If you can afford the apollo, go for it. But for almost 1/4 of the price the ssl is a no brainer. I dont think there is much of a noticable difference in quality. I've never owned the apollo but I've used one. ✌

The apollo is in no league with ssl no league the uad is digital the ssl2 is a vintage circuit analog device with transformer

I've got both, and I'd argue they're near-identical. Mic preamps are universally awesome these days and will more-or-less be identical

Hahah sweet I'll take it 🤣👍

You should be ok. Depends on the amount of plugins, tracks, and processing you are doing. Should be ok for smaller sessions

@@Rv_Music108 Bet and I just got mine yesterday and will be pairing it with a Warm Audio 47jr Condenser...Their gonna make sweet babies 😆

@@kennethscott3538 hell yeah, have fun!

No, manufactured in china unfortunately. Keeping the cost down I assume.

RV_ Music bummer. I’m sure that’s the reason. But it goes to 11 and that’s most important! Sounds great Sir!

I compressed it very heavily to show the difference. Thanks for watching!

Yes just register on the ssl website and you'll get links to plugin downloads 👍

Yes, it comes with vocal strip and drum strip. Also I think you get a 6 month trial of the full ssl plugin bundle

It sounds dope , i believe it can match with the Apollo twin .

@@MrHumphrey2000 yeah I would say so. Also a lot cheaper. You can buy this and a good mic or some gear for the price of the apollo. UAD stuff is badass but pricey

@@Rv_Music108 the two plugins in the ssl2 box cost more on their own without the ssl2 ! That's great value. The ua system is the opposite. I had the Apollo and it was great but the AD meh. The plugin cost is super high and is what the true benefit of the uad system is. You can track through a number of plugins which you will find is great unless you already have the hardware it emulates. For the price you pay for the best quality options you could buy a used version of better hardware and the hardware doesn't ask you to upgrade it to a better version of itself in a few months or keep you from working on your tracks if its not plugged in or you have more instances that the number of chips you bought as the apollo is a big dongle with each version limited to the dsp on it.

@@AnthonyMartinsRock great points! The included ssl plugins are awesome. I have the slate everything bundle so luckily it includes all the updates and stuff. I can understand the frustration of owning a plugin and seeing updated versions come out that you cant have.

Hahah I agree🤣 still waiting on the check
