Hahaha thanks!! I love it too. Good, I'm glad you are happy with it. Cheers!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm using pro tools 12 and a 2014 macbook. I'm sure pro tools 8 will work fine

Yes it requires phantom power. That clip from the video was just b roll to show the 4k button being engaged

Hello! Thank you, I assume you are turning on 48v phantom power? If that’s not the issue I would try a different cable. If that fails then it must the the microphone. Good luck!

@@Rv_Music108 thank you!!

I would say so. I used to have the 2i2 and it is great but the ssl sounds noticeably better.

Yes, that was reused b roll footage. The amount of gain depends on the source. I speak into the mic and adjust the level accordingly. Same with acoustic, i play and get it as loud as possible without clipping. I look at the level going into pro tools and as long as im not clipping its all good. With a dynamic mic like an sm57 you will need to turn it up quite a bit more to get acceptable level from speaking or an acoustic guitar. Especially an sm7b for example. What kind of mic are you using? I would’t worry about it too much, if you are getting a healthy level into the daw without clipping then you are ok.

@@Rv_Music108 Thanks for the reply. I have a Neumann KM184 and as I am not too experienced with phantom powered mics (only USB condensers) and the SSL2 is new as well I feared that it should show higher levels at less gain, but you are right. It's not really a problem to reach the gain but when using it live one would have to pull the gain very high to reach high enough levels. It might also be that I expected this SDC mic to be more sensitive i.e. to be used further away from the source.

@@megajonson9075 oh cool, nice mic! Yeah just play around with it and watch some tutorials on the proper distance etc. I bet you can get some excellent acoustic guitar sounds with that mic and your ssl interface. Turn up the gain as loud as it needs to be to get a healthy level.

The focusrite interfaces are nice. I have had the scarlett and sapphire stuff. I think the SSL sounds better. You'll definitely notice a difference. You can still capture great recordings with the focusrite though! It's up to you, but it's always exciting to get new gear. I'd say go for it! You wont be disappointed

Thanks for the sub!

I don’t think so. This interface has inputs for microphones using XLR and 1/4” connectors, not USB.

Its powered only by usb connected to your computer. There is no power supply

@@Rv_Music108 Thank you

😂thanks!

Ive never used Audient or RME so i can’t speak to them. I just ordered a SSL-12 so thats what i would recommend 😂. I can’t wait to try it out. Pretty cool that you can switch between two sets of monitors.

@@Rv_Music108 👍best of luck

Great question. I Should be able to record with some reverb and delay with no audible latency. I need to record some vocals for a song later today/tomorrow and I'll let you know for sure.

So the knob all the way on input is totally dry. The more you blend toward the monitor mix there is some latency. I was able to get a decent blend of reverb/effects with no audible latency while tracking. I had a ssl vocal strip running and reverb on an aux track

My bad! I just saw your comment. I dont know for sure but I would imagine that the connection kit is USB-C compatible. I think it would work just fine.

Also, it looks like the Steinberg has all of the same features as the SSL 2+ with the exception of the 2nd headphone jack. The phantom power switch is on the back of the Steinberg which seems inconvenient.

Hi I use my SSL2 with Auria Pro on my iPad Pro 10.5 and it works great. You will need to buy the Apple USB lightning adapter and a USB active external Hub powered with 5 volt.

My Consulting Im planning to use GarageBand on my iPhone and iPad and I will only record vocals. Hopefully its all good. Thanks for the info!!!!

RV_ Music sorryyyy!!!! For the late reply. Im getting the SSL this month hopefully
