Hi chris great channel mate, is there a way i can contact you neef some guidance with my set up its mind boggling me 😢

my speaker has a 1/4 jack which says speaker ext. can that jack go to the interface - is that jack the same as line out ? thanks

Thanks for the video. The setup I need has to have more than 4 audio inputs. Just for beginners most synths and keyboards are all stereo with 2 audio outs. Here we have inputs 2 in front and 2 in back. Synths would use those up. It looks like I'm not going around this without mixer. I think what I need, like 8 inputs on the adapter, would be a lot more expensive. I remember years ago they had some 16 input units. Really steep price. Any suggestions welcome. Bill .

Great video! Thank you!

A what output to a tape machine?

This lesson on the basics really helped. Thank you Chris. I haven't done any music production since 1998, when my producer was afraid of me going digital, while she wanted to stay analog. I just downloaded CAKEWALK, and wish I had an Ai Chris BOT to sit with, and teach me, but here goes something.

I just subscribed to your channel. I am currently decoding the in and outs of audio interfaces. I have been recording live sound with a Focusrite 2i2. I am shopping for an interface that delivers multitrack into my DAW. My motivation is that I can record drums with maybe four mics. Also run a live performance into PA and in ear monitors. I am a retired teamster driver with zero formal music education. Thanks for your video. I don’t under a lot of the in and out options on the interface. I almost need crayons pictures to figure it out.

Do i need one even if i can plug in everything in my pc?

I only want the external audio interface to reduce latency when I am recording with a midi keyboard to a laptop with my daw. but how do i use the laptop speakers and avoid having to hook up external speakers? I want convenience from internal laptop speakers.

Dumb question: can I use the line outputs for in ears monitor? So for example, out 9-10 are for the singer in stereo output direct to his in ears system L & R?

I bought an old mic amplifier on Ebay. It has a Bogen label on it but I think it was either put on or it has been altered. The only outputs it has are 2 groups of BNC jacks labeled 25 watts. (They look like wordclock jacks)I have never seen BNC jacks used with audio before. I have been buying old and new amps for 40 years. Any idea what they had in mind?

The main problem nowaday is that many videos are meant sell products not to teach people.

Brilliant lesson well done, would I be right in saying that when you described the return from your midi synth should be sent to an audio channel for recording the synth sound otherwise it would be just midi data 🤔

ITS a very good explanation If you will start mixing with Headphones and Monitors , you should know that If you Mix in the Headphones IT can Sound very different in the Studio Monitors The Problem is that the Most audio Interfaces doesnt Support a Headphones Chanel that you can EQ and adjust the Monitors I Mixed an instrumental on my Headphones and IT was totally different The DB Level and also many frequencies IS too different But thats why i was looking for This Video Now i will Check If i can use in of the Outputs wich i can EQ in the Interface to adjust the Sound for the Headphones

Omg that opening 😂😂😂

Can somewone answear? does, this outputs mach on their numbers? Means if i use input No3- its means goes from out No3? i Still cant understand.

my audio interface has a usb output and i cant figure it out

Thanks for the nice content

I want to get the focusrite 2i2 Gen 4. I'll be connecting a guitar and e-drumkit. My friend just got the e-drumkit today, but I'm not sure of the connection as I've not seen it yet. It says on the specs 'Midi'. How would I connect the e-drumkit to the 2i2? Or if the drumkit has usb-c then I can just connect it to my ipad and set the audio to the 2i2? Damn, I wish someone could help me out with this. I've searched endlessly and can't just seem to find an answer to this or someone else doing a similar setup. Help! Thanks!

Hey, Chris. So, you can use an audio interface to set a 5.1 system, just using a DAW, the outputs of an interface and the 5 monitors conected to this outputs? Thank you for the great video.

You have done well👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi. I have an aiwa sound system with line output ( 6ohms) and aiwa mini component with line input ( 4 ohms ). Is it safe to connect it. I just wanted to play both simultaneously. Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thanls :)

I can't seem to find a straight answer to the question of headphone out to line or mic in. Some say the headphone out can damage line in, some say otherwise. What is the truth? I have pc speakers plugged into the headphone out on my laptop. I want to put an EQ in between. But the EQ has audio line and and out. How do I connect this?

I swear you guys do a lot of talking about everything other than the title and ridiculous photo at the beginning of the video. Who tf cares that your aunt sue likes red apples on a Saturday morning, dressed in peach colored clothing with matching slippers. Ugh

Great informative video. Being 2 years old I’m unsure if my question will get to you. I have an Xvive Wireless IEM. The transmitter is an XLR dongle. I have a S/SDIF to XLR cable. Can I connect my transmitter to the S/PDIF Output and get sound in my IEM’s from the interface?

no way you dont have thousands of views yet! this is super well done and explained, I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video, thanks so much for your knowledge 🙏🙏🙏

Can you send the signal from the audio interface to a guitar amplifier through line outputs?

Thanks man

I am always confusing with this Audio Interface I/O thing. Is that correct that output 1 is for input 1 and so on? or, every output producing the same audio signal from all input port?

Thank you Chris for a clear and concise informational video. I'm just looking to get started in home recording and am at the stage where I'm gathering as much information and data as I can. I also watched your second video concerning interfaces and found that informative as well. I also liked the illustrations/diagrams to help explain what you were talking about. Thanks again and keep up the good work. I'm going to look over your article now. Take care.

Chris, thank you for the video. I've been using my PreSonus Firestudio off and on, but never fully understood how to best utilize the Audio Interface. I appreciate the simple breakdown and that's exactly what I needed.

Very good video. Any suggestions for an affordable interface which has 3 inputs on the back? I have 3 hardware synths to plug in. I like the 4i4 and Motu m4, but they seem to only have room for one synth to plug in the back. Do I really need to buy a huge interface for just 3 synths? I don’t want to use the front to plug anything in.

Great video Chris. Easy to understand and info is still valid today. Thanks again for your time and work put into this.

great explanation

Where did you go? We don't see you anymore.

Hello, I'm just a beginner. I have a casio ct x5000 with 2 analog mono l/r outputs. I want to buy a interface for recording on devices or laptop. Should I buy a cable that goes from 2 mono jacks to one stereo plug to the interface or use the 2 cables seperate into the interface?

Is their an interface that uses optical port of a motherboard? Tired of PC static

Heyo. Thnx for the explanation! Is it possible to use an interface to send signal „through“? Or is the signal that’s beeing sent to the outs of the interface alsways coming from the computer it’s beeing connected to. I‘d like to send signal from my mixer to my 8track analogue tape recorder for coloration. Then send the outs of the recorder to the inputs of the interface and then use the outs of the interface to route the signal straight back into my mixer. So i can record/ overdub to tape but dont have to constantly change connections when i finally like to record my tracks from tape into my daw through the interface.

dope content, always love getting into new tech I have no clue about.

intro literally described me after researching this bs for 3 hours! Im so frustrated MY GOD. THANK GOD FOR YOU

Tank u my brazer! Your video helped me take serious decisions

Can i connect mp3 players or hifi players to the line level input?

Chris,i connected my electric piano output R with Focusrite 2i2 Scarlet on the back side,right output of the audio interface then i used usb cable to united my laptop with usb output on interface.After that i tried to play BBC ORCHESTRA IN Cakewalk but there was no sound.Why Should i buy another usb cable and connect it from el piano to the laptop and from another out put on my laptop to FOCUSRITE?

Great video, thanks

Hi Chris. Great video! Thank you. I have a quick question. I am using the Scarlett 18i8 to connect my Mainstage rig (Mainstage DAW, Impulse midi controller and Yamaha CP88) to our Soundcraft board. I am trying to separate each instrument to a different channel on the board. However, the signal strength is different between outputs 1-2 and 3-4 with 3-4 being much "hotter". Are there audio interfaces with more line-level outputs like 3-4? Thanks again for the great video

Hello, I trying to root pedals in my audio interface ur44 ( 2 monitoring out and 4 line out). I listen to a hum when I root my pedal with a line out. Just to be sure, can I connect my speakers on line out 3/4 and use my monitoring out 1/2 for hardware ? Do speakers support line ?

Hi there! Great video! I've been wondering what would be the best output level to feed an external headphone amplifier? I have the Focusrite 18i20 and want to use it as my DAC for music listening. The signal shall be sent to an external headphone amplifier as clean as possible. How does one find out, what the optimal output gain setting would be, to pass through the signal as clean as possible? Hoping you can help. Thanks a lot!

Excellent lesson! Is it possible to bypass the DAC in a budget audio interface and use a separate dedicated DAC to do the job while recording, tracking, and overdubbing? For example, could I use the 2i2 to capture the sound (vocals/guitar) and hear the playback in real-time with an ADI-2 DAC fs? Both of these are connected to the computer via USB. Will this work if I select in my DAW input to 2i2 and assign the outputs to ADI-2? Thank you in advance.
