The difference is high, Behringer has annoying noises while Scarlett is clean and warm.

there's only small difference, Scarlett sounds good, but i believe when behringers output if mixed and mastered well, it will give the same output with the Scarlett final output. it will depend on the mixing process

You can’t correct for Nulls. It is not physically possible. Boosting a null will just result in additional Nulling. None of these systems should boost nulls. Trinnov sound like dogs**t. The FIR filters messes with the transients, and the phase coherence is much too focused on listening position, and not enough attention to the dispersion characteristics of the speaker.

I may have to buy a Volt! I’m currently using a Presonus 24C but having major problems with it. (Mixer knob doesn’t work right, not getting a clean signal when using either of my mics-distorting without clipping😖) I was looking at getting a Tascam 208i; I wonder which would be better. Anyone have thoughts on that? Def need the 5-pin midi inputs for my man’s electronic drums

Currently deciding between the bss and the neve so this vid was really useful! I just received an ssl six on which the hi z input sounds much smoother on my stratocaster (using an amp sim itb). I was surprised to hear the difference when I tried the bss which seems to provide more high frequency content and an overall more glassy sound (which I like on my guitars). I asked SSL about this and send them some audio samples. They responded that they try to keep the THD as low as possible on their console channels which might account for a little bit less of high frequencies. Goes to show that these di boxes do have an impact on your tone. I will soon receive the neve for testing and i'm curious how it will impact the sound.

The big things for me are ergonomics, the experience, and inspiration. Being able to turn a knob vs use my mouse is significant in all 3 places. It's significantly less wear and tear on my arm (I've had 3 surgeries), it feels tangible which tends to allow me to really feel the music more intimately, and of course because of that I'm inspired to work and have fun doing so!

Ozone does almost all Master Plan does, plus some 100 other things if you need it to. There's no way you can compare these. That's why Ozone costs a lot more, because it gives you a lot more, too. You really have to tweak it (like removing the excessive low end) like you did with Master Plan. That being said, I like Master Plan for simple moves on the mix bus before the song hits the mastering stage.

Analog alerts the sound while digital doesn't. Is mixing and mastering a part of music creation or just an engineering tool to balance the frequencies and dynamics? That's the question. I think musicians prefer the analog grars because they add a touch to the sound, and this is wrong, in my opinion.

Hey, great review! I wanna ask for your recommendation, I'm looking for the best sound you can get for headphones and speakers that can also power 250 ohms headphones (dt 1990) I don't mind about preamps and DI, I only care about sound quality, what would you say is a good pick for that (out of any interface)? Also, is a dedicated amp/dac like the topping is actually worth it over any of these? or is the difference negligible? I was looking at the new presonus quantum es2 aswell, maybe you could review this too to compare?

Loved the video! Great stuff: I liked the focusing influence of the API myself -- while the NEVE had an awesome 'scooped' sound with plenty of bite to it, I would likely prefer adding character saturation like that before reaching the summing stage, but both sounded great! The in-the-box mixing environment desperately needs lots of non-linear summing plugs like these!

Oit of curiosity And for the sake of those who are using outboard preamps, do you know if the DI input is able to bypass the pres? I've been interested in something from topping That lets you run some outboard gear through their high end converters....

You can't bypass the pres. Only the Apollo rack-mounted interfaces allow you to do that, as far as I know.

Ok. I had heard somewhere that there were a couple where the line in did bypass the pres.... What I'm using right now has a couple of track inputs That don't even have pres on them. It does make a difference... But it is subtle. Well I've seen that it makes a difference as far as noise measurements... Maybe it doesn't really make any practical difference in reality

Hello Ed!! Your reviews are top-notch and give me a hard to deciding on which interface to go with since you are so detailed about your reviews. I am currently a bedroom music producer making beats and recording my vocals but im looking to delve deeper into mixing. Which audio interface would suggest I get that is budget-friendly between the Volt 276 and Audient 14?? Thank you for your feedback.

Thanks, Henry. If you mix on headphones check out the Topping E2X2! The DAC/HP amp is far superior to these, however I prefer the preamps on the Audient/Volt. It’s a tough one. Maybe buy all three and see which your prefer and send the others back…
