Yeah, it sounds awesome!

Thanks Edith!

Absolutely!

They're pretty hit and miss; I'd suggest take it back to your retailer

@@EricsMusic1onYT luckily I downloaded the updated drivers and it works now

I didn't want to have to do anything like that just to make it work; I just wanted to plug-and-play

P.S. I don't have an old PC

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your new tube pre!

Already did

Too many drivers at once are possibly causing pops and crackles

I just sent it back instead; I can't be bothered having to solve MOTU's problems

Too late; check out my other videos here kzfaq.info/love/8gLStR_HM1keQ3yjFTpe-w And make sure you subscribe, so you don't miss a thing!

It's ok, we all wish we could've not bought some stuff in the past. Just try to make the most of the situation.

I'm still using it, I've never experienced any ground or other noise

Thanks for sharing your info! Apple has 60W USB-C or 240W USB-C cables, so I can expect the 240W cable has a better quality? Is this a power problem og the MOTU M4 getting to less power via USB-C? Maybe the MOTU M6 with external power is a better option? The SATECHI USB-C Hub Slim Multiport Adapter V2 will cost 65€.

Thanks for sharing this. I personally wouldn't be bothered having to look for solutions to MOTU's problems - I've never had such issues with other interfaces, so I ended up taking it back to the store.

The signal path is as described: Mic > ART pre > line input on Scarlett > PT11

Yeah maybe take it back to the place of purchase

I think it depends a lot on your OS or the DAW you're using - whichever you want to monitor through your Volt from. If it's on your DAW, then it would be a routing thing - have a look at your I/O there. If it's your OS, maybe you have to download/update your Volt's driver. Hope that helps; all the best.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

You're very welcome; thanks for watching

Hi, I would suggest taking it back to your place of purchase to request a refund or replacement.

See my response above, solving the issue in my case.

Thanks for watching the video!

You're very welcome; thanks for watching the video

That's awesome bro! And amen to that; love the Voxbox!

The Preamp section sounds really good on drums too

Thanks for your comment. I wanted to show what the inputs sound like at different gain settings, and because the knobs are fully variable, I had to choose rough positions (like 9 o'clock, 12 noon, 3 o'clock, etc.) to compare all the different sounds.

But when record a loop back the file is clear from these pops. So it’s a playback issues. Also direct monitoring sounds clear. Hope this is a driver/firmware issue. Looking for a solution from Motu support

Thanks for your suggestions! I will definitely have a look at Kazrog plugins; I've never used them but have heard that they're great, especially True Iron and the clipper. I'll also check out those Arturia ones but to be honest, I'm a little less keen for that because I find Arturia's plugs annoying - it always forgets that I have the full license for the plugs so I have to jump through a bunch of hoops before I can use them, but of course, if they sound good then it might all be worth it after all. Thanks for watching the video!

I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem; it sounds like it's a similar problem to mine as shown in the video. I would recommend you return it to the place of purchase and see what they can do for you. I returned mine and got a replacement after showing them this video.

Thanks bro, appreciate

I will, you bet; thanks

There's no power switch but what I did was I plugged an in-line rocker switch in between the unit and the wall socket so I could just use that as the switch to turn it on or off. You can probably buy one of those at your local electronics store.

My pleasure; enjoy!

Yeah but the difference is, on the 1176, you've got that Output knob that you can dial back to prevent clipping the next stage. On this UA Volt 476, you don't have that, so to get any compression, you need the signal to be hot enough to engage the compressor, but then it becomes very risky because when the signal is that hot, you could end up going over 0dB.

Muchas gracias por tu comentario

Stay tuned to find out ;)

I'm not very familiar with the Steinberg interfaces other than having heard that they have a very high noise floor to start with. From your comment, I think what you might be doing is connecting the output of the ART preamp to the input of the preamp on your Steinberg, which would raise the level of noise (because the noise from the ART preamp is being combined with the noise from the Steinberg preamp). So if your Steinberg preamp has a line input that doesn't go through the mic preamp of the interface, you could try connecting the output of the ART preamp into that line input. That should decrease the noise significantly. But I'm not 100% if that Steinberg interface you're using actually has any of the line inputs I'm talking about. Good luck; let me know how you go.

Hello!

Muchas gracias

Thanks for watching anyway.

I know, I'm sorry. It was a very low-effort video.

Thanks very much!

I think you can't actually push the input too much. If you need to, you can turn the voicing knob to the OPL section which is pretty much a limiter but still, I don't think it sounds very good like that. It's all about balancing, really.

Oh ok you found it. Thanks for watching!

@@EricsMusic1onYT yes thank you. Just purchased one.

Yes I do! Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrhhe5OqzNa8cpc.html

Yeah the IKEA one? It's pretty great!

Oh I never knew that, thanks!

It gives more tension that a mini guitar can't handle. Overtime it will cause belly bulge.

Bro, currently i always use .11 guage. But how's the .10 guage sounds?

​@@EricsMusic1onYTwhat Guage?

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Honestly, it was indeed very low-effort - I just pointed my phone camera at it and talked; I didn't even do any editing lol.

@@EricsMusic1onYT and I'm saying it does not matter to me personally if u filmed it through a blackberry camera, u gave us your honest review and not sugar coating the flaws u fund like other review channels, hope ur channel grows so u can review other brands like audient etc unbiased, 👍🏾

My pleasure!

Hey, I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll try my best here. So if you only have that dynamite preamp stick, which I think is an inline mic preamp, then that and the UA Volt do different things, so it depends on what you need to do. If you want to record something using a mic, then you probably need an audio interface, like the UA Volt. The dynamite preamp stick thingy is simply a mic preamp that will lift the level of your signal; the UA Volt has a mic preamp built-in, so I would say you probably don't need the preamp stick if you have an audio interface with a built-in mic preamp. I hope that helps.
