@@SpectreSoundStudios you dont have to quantize and pitch correct, you can just press record you know… and mix and master… I used to record to 8 track tape and mix to 2 track master, my tape machine broke though (problems with these $100,000 consoles and $400 rolls of tape) so now I just do the exact same thing i did on tape, but to my virtual tape machine (ableton) I’ll never understand the whole “digital bad fix everything” thing; like, maybe dont fix everything then.. treat it like a tape machine P.S. the only talent they had back then that we maybe dont have today is the talents of the tape op, having to calibrate and clean the machine every take lmao (look at bands like king gizzard, doing infest the rats nest and gila monster, and tell me those musicians doing metal don’t have talent cuz they record to a DAW, when Planet B and Self Immolate are heavier than most songs from the 80’s and 90’s theyre trying to emulate)
@@bobzmuda3940 Seems you misunderstood. Because it is possible to fix everything, people *will* do it. The tool is there so it will be used. This leads to a horde of musicians that deem practice as "not as important", needing xx tries to get a good enough take, which obviously pisses off the recording engineer. Back in the days, most of the successful musicians practiced until they could play the take perfectly at 125% speed. This was a necessity because if they couldn't, the studios would kick them out immediately (or they'd burn a shit ton of money). This doesn't mean that there aren't any people of that kind, they are just much rarer than they were in times of tape machines.
As a completely blind musician I hate seeing more stuff come out with a touchscreen also felt like the volt 476 demo you did on this channel sounded just as good
I know this man is trying to *save* me money by just giving me info about the most effective means of recording...but these reviews of things that are an alternative to my current collection threaten my bank account all the same. 😂
Agreed. However, I would say the top-end can be an indicator of what is to come for the more budget interfaces. Also, I do like hearing the difference between the likes of a Focusrite vs the top-end to see if it's actually worth it. I really like the VU meters, but I also like saving $1600 for my level of recording I do not blame him to review this. If someone asked "do you want to test drive a Ferrari?", of course you'll say yes
$1850 is an auto-fergitit for me. I don’t make any money on my music. I do it just for fun and personal satisfaction. I’m happy with the Universal Audio Apollo Solo. Even that was probably more money than I should’ve spent. That’s definitely great pro gear and the features look awesome. I just ain’t no pro.
How did they cook all this up? Because Merging, that’s why. Merging is utterly incredible. They’ve got so much incredibly niche but astonishing tech and solutions. They’re the secret little gods of audio.
Your desk mic definitely sounded a lot better with the processing you put on it. Also, in the song mix... I don't know if the interface played a role in it, but that snare was POPPING! It leapt out from my speakers and got right in my face. Awesome!
It's so funny to me that people are up in arms about the price. Is it expensive? Yeah, it's a premium product on the forefront of current tech in our space, so it's gonna cost a pretty penny. The same can be said about a TON of things that we take for granted today - roasted maple necks, stainless steel frets, high quality studio monitors, solid converters and interfaces - all things that were once considered premium, expensive products that are now a dime a dozen today. When a company puts out a product like this, it opens the door for others to innovate and improve upon it's design, and ultimately lowers the price over the next few years with new iterations and manufacturing processes. Leave it to Focusrite or Behringer to make something similar and far more affordable in the near future. Thanks for showing us this awesome piece of kit, Glenn!
Exactly! I dunno why people complain so much about the price of high end tech these days. I would say we're currently living in a golden age of cheap music technology and we're spoiled for choice. Most of the stuff that's sold today for well under £1000 could've easily cost you five times, or more for a similar, product in the mid to late 90s.
That is a nice piece of kit, thanks for the deeper dive Glenn, it really peaked my interest in namm videos. You are right about the DI, headroom for days. Nice playing too mate!!!
Hey glen, I’d love to see a video talking about the whole brass and giving you better sustain. I’m honestly curious and don’t know if I believe it or not. Thanks!
Super Awesome and Clear Mix even over crappy RUclips the sound is Phenomenal!!!! Nice Tony MacAlpine thing going on there! Glenn you are the BOMB! 💣🎸🥁🎧
According to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, the conversion of analog to digital should be identical across all properly functioning AD Converters. Claims that some AD Converters are better than others has always bothered me, as the math should be the same. I know "Aliasing" is a type of distortion that takes place when the frequency is higher than the Nyquist rate. I wouldn't be surprised that different units handle aliasing better than others. It would be great to have a blind test of different AD Converters with the same conversion specs to determine if there are any audio differences, as tis could be verified with a Null Test. Thanks
Loopback null tests of audio interfaces were infamously removed from Harmony Central (and maybe other forums too) when manufacturers perhaps made life difficult for the platform(s) considering the revelations exposed by testing.
That thing seems beast! Definitely real competition to UA's Apollo systems! The thing is that the plugins and Proccessing on apollos are next level! and for nearly 2k the apollo x4 is around the same price and it comes with 4 mic pre amps. that being said, the apollo is very limited with the feature set ON the device. where as this has a full touch screen to access everything stand alone, which is really awesome! where as the apollo requires a computer attached. still the power of an apollo is really big. one feature that would be nice to have is a dual track recording built in. you'd have to route it within, but you can still track with fx or only monitor with them. the console software really needs updating to be a bit more easy to use with routing (faster/easier loopback, record with and without fx easily, a proper routing matrix for easy multing, and a few others would be nice), but it is still very awesome. What i hope is that other companies start taking note of the power of this neumann. I don't know many other interfaces at this price range that have dante attached/supported. that alone is such a game changer imo! now can they make a 2U rack mounted one with a touch screen and 8 preamps and other fun features with that? Also just want to add that with the rise of 32bit float recording (aka never set levels again recording because barely any noise and no chance of clipping) i think some interestingly powerful interfaces are on the horizon if it catches on. along with workflow stuff like audient's evo auto level setting you showed off recently.
Connectivity options and clean A/D conversion are great - that's kind of the whole point to an interface, but why would you want all of these extra effects built into the interface as opposed to doing them with a plugin on the computer? Maybe I'm missing something, but it feels like pushing this into the hardware is going backwards.
Nice personal home recording unit. Now they need to make 16-32 channel versions. and price it under Behringers line. I hope it has a wired connection too, wifi is a big no no at the show.
finally e906! I know SM57 is standard, but I prefer e906, it can be similar in tone, but with the freq char option and bit more low end so it's more versatile...
My hypothesis as to why they don't do the grab and drag points on the EQ is so the user doesn't inadvertently touch the screen and make drastic EQ changes that they can't undo since I don't believe there's a native ctrl+z function in the unit unless I'm mistaken. Also, you usually need to go down to the control knobs to adjust Q or bandwidth since that usually isn't affected by dragging anyway, so you can adjust gain and frequency there. It's probably also best to tweak an EQ one parameter at a time (especially with this unit given the laggy nature of the beta software), instead of two simultaneously, but I won't know until I can actually test drive one.
I know its not what the video is about, but I have the Sennheiser 906 and 609 both and I never have to fuss with them much to get a good sound. I'm typically using them in live situations as opposed to studio but a good mic is a good mic. If you want to save a few bucks, I think they're pretty much the same thing except for the low/high pass switch on the 906.
Touch screens are really great for a lot of things... like opening new menus that would otherwise require a lot of physical buttons. And for this device used for more-or-less static, setup and then operate inputs, I'm sure it's great. But fixed or assignable, physical buttons or other controls have a tactile, operate-by-feel capability that touchscreens just can't match. Blindly reaching over to hit a button on a touchscreen with several active controls on it is likely to result in a mis-step (mute the wrong mic, for example) compared to feeling for the third button from the upper left corner.
Jees, theres a bumper harvest for butthurt of the week. Yes folks, its eye wateringly expensive. Sometimes bleeding edge quality costs more than cloned commodity products. The technology often trickles down over time. If you put the pitchforks down, this is an interesting glimpse at the horizon.
I mean lets be honest, Neumann makes good stuff. They're a pretty respected name. But most of us will never own a Neumann mic because they're pretty expensive and beyond what its worth spending money on for non-professional users. That's fine. Same with this interface: the target market isn't average guys recording at home. Its meant for people who are creating content commercially, either on a fairly established monetized streaming channel, studio work, voice over work or whatever else. It looks like a damn nice tool for that job. If its outside your budget, just use something you can justify spending the money on instead. Why is that so fucking hard for people to get?
I'm not sure if it is, for sure, but that one riff you play sounds a lot like a 3 Inches of Blood song. Either way, your playing has improved and keeps improving. Keep it metal!
Man the presence is really in your face with that one. It sounds like your right inside the speaker if that makes any sense. Perhaps a little too much siblance, but thats fixable. That said even looking at the pricetag makes my credit card scream in horror.
Could you do a preamp/converters shootout video ? For instance, in the context of reamping, so that you could have the exact same ''performance'' to record.
Still getting used to those bare walls and all the room you have now. It’s weird not seeing you looking like your stuck in the storage closet. Great review!! 🤘🎸🤘
Speaking of great conversion and Dante , You're Canadian ,how have you not ever mentioned Radar Recording and their Dante chassis ?they are perhaps some of the finest converters made right in your own country , amazing company with incredible customer service .
This looks to be a re-branded Merging Anubis interface (with a couple changes here and there). The Merging Anubis cost $2200, so this Neumann is actually $350 cheaper. Hopefully the trend continues and we see more of Merging's converters in Neumann livery for reduced prices! All of you shitting your pants over the $1850 price tag obviously never priced out a Merging Horus...
Damn it Glenn, you’re supposed to be saving me money, not making me want to spend it! But that interface definitely looks awesome! Thanks for the great review mate! 🤘🤘
I'm moving my on RME to finance this. Waited about 5 months for arrival and now to see if any bugs etc. Apart from long boot time and laggy controls, it seems fine so far. I never got along with the incredibly capable Total Mix. I definitely get along with simpler interfaces now as I only need two to eight tracks and no special routings. Looking forward to it.
I am in the same boat debating returning my RME babyface pro fs for this but I am getting an Avalon AD2022 pre amp next week and my understanding is that this MT48 line inputs still run through the mic pre amps so if you use an external pre amp it is not truly the Avalon sound for example because the signal cannot bypass the preamps on the way back in the line inputs. How was the transition for you so far?
Although I'm sure it's amazing, I'm sticking with my Presonsus StudioLive 32SC mixer as my interface. Lot;s of inputs and features. I have a LOT of gear and I hate patching and re-patching. Eventually I'll figure out how exactly to use it as a proper control surface for my Cubase 12 Pro DAW too. For vocals and other things if I want, I have my Behringer U;traTube pres as well as my ART PRo VLA 2 compressor. Lots of tubey richness as well as solid state clean if I want.
Can we get the name of the guy on the guitar in the mix demo, i think he is the same guy that did voice in that sabbath cover a couple of months back. Can we get at least a spotify link?
i tried to do some work with that interface and it wasnt really that intuitive. And it got really hot. But now that i see your video i guess i just needed more time with the piece
It’s the same price as an Apollo 4x, i think they have the pricing about right. The only thing that’s not clear is the AES67. I wish they would make it a little clearer how to implement and what currently works with this unit for more I/O
Hey Glenn you should get a semi shitty combo (any brand) and shoot it out vs a shitty tube amp Changing out speakers,tubes, guitars anything you can to see what you get.
@7:36 during the guitar clip I'm hearing some low bassy pops in the right channel. Not sure if that was missed or intentionally left in? I find it distracting.
This thing looks fuckin' awesome!... But I'm still gonna stick it out, and try to find a deal on a Behringer x32. I'll have WAY more options and hardware 'headroom' than I'll ever need, and it'll probably cost me half of what this interface commands. Doesn't mean that it's not a fantastic product, though.
Would you say I should upgrafe from an UA Apollo X4 to this one? They are very similar but if the AD and also the DA are noticeable better, i would think about it.
seems to me that this could be the ultimate "consol" evolution. In my mind its like a double dip when i use reaper. Its trying to marry a consol with in the box recording. Not sure if its all that great FOR ME. others may have different milage. Yes some interesting features for sure. Now, a tablet for the singer to adjust his own headphone volume and mix, interface it with reaper and boy have you invented a new product ! lol
I just Saw a video of you praising the RME Baby Face with loopback, And now you get this, have you changed your mind about the RME. How is the comparison of Driver/ DSP and latency ?
Um, where were the cymbals in the mix? I checked on a couple of sources and there was nothing. Doubt it was the interfaces fault, but still curious. Also, if that super hot snare is the new sound, give me back the old.
Definitely an interesting option... would not be a replacement for what I use in my main room, but for my editing and video rig.... the wheels are turning. Thx Glenn
Wow. Love their mics. I’m down to try it out. Edit: Not for that price. I can’t afford that I’m a struggling artist lifestyle. Hey Glenn, let me have that. 😘
C'mon Glenn! I only just purchased the Nux Mighty Plug Pro! I'll have to declare bankruptcy if I click on every affiliate link of a product you recommend! Further edit: Why do you always have the cymbals so quiet in a mix?
It's a beauty but expensive lol. If you are a guitar player and not an engineer you would be better off getting a DI and a load box, Radial makes good inexpensive front end gear. Not the same as Neuman but I doubt most would hear the difference.
yes i was kinda waiting for Glenn to say "It's super nice but if you can't afford this, make some great music with something 1/10 of the price..." but hey it's vendor sponsored content and it's not like he hasn't said so much in general terms before.
@@SebBrosig Can't blame the guy, he's gotta make cash and the unit itself is what he says it is. The rest of us can let our pockets make up our minds for us hehe

"All the best albums ever made did not use this". A very useful phrase to repeat when looking at any new gear.
Yes, most were made on $100,000 mixing consoles to TAPE that costs $400 a reel with no undo button. Talent used to be a thing.
@@SpectreSoundStudios you dont have to quantize and pitch correct, you can just press record you know… and mix and master…

I’ll never understand the whole “digital bad fix everything” thing; like, maybe dont fix everything then.. treat it like a tape machine

My hypothesis as to why they don't do the grab and drag points on the EQ is so the user doesn't inadvertently touch the screen and make drastic EQ changes that they can't undo since I don't believe there's a native ctrl+z function in the unit unless I'm mistaken.

Behringer XR18 is worth demoing! Similar product that can be used as a mixer and has 18 inputs and outputs
How does this stack up against something like the Rodecaster duo?
It’s the same price as an Apollo 4x, i think they have the pricing about right. The only thing that’s not clear is the AES67. I wish they would make it a little clearer how to implement and what currently works with this unit for more I/O
Hey Glenn you should get a semi shitty combo (any brand) and shoot it out vs a shitty tube amp Changing out speakers,tubes, guitars anything you can to see what you get.
That’s next week!
@7:36 during the guitar clip I'm hearing some low bassy pops in the right channel. Not sure if that was missed or intentionally left in? I find it distracting.
I love it. Dope!
Ill stick with my Audient interface thanks. 🤘😎🤘
This thing looks fuckin' awesome!... But I'm still gonna stick it out, and try to find a deal on a Behringer x32. I'll have WAY more options and hardware 'headroom' than I'll ever need, and it'll probably cost me half of what this interface commands.
Doesn't mean that it's not a fantastic product, though.
Seems like they did a bit more than just rebranding. Bit like they did when they bought out K&H for Neumanns monitoring line. Cool
Id like to see glenn review the tascam dp008 series, its a pretty decent analog mixer/recorder, fraction of the price of this thing too.
I would buy that. Looks Ace
Would you recommend this over the apogee symphony desktop? I was planning on buying one of those but since finding out about this interface im torn
Would you say I should upgrafe from an UA Apollo X4 to this one? They are very similar but if the AD and also the DA are noticeable better, i would think about it.
How many channels can you run through that bank you recorded that entire track with that excellent
seems to me that this could be the ultimate "consol" evolution. In my mind its like a double dip when i use reaper. Its trying to marry a consol with in the box recording. Not sure if its all that great FOR ME. others may have different milage. Yes some interesting features for sure. Now, a tablet for the singer to adjust his own headphone volume and mix, interface it with reaper and boy have you invented a new product ! lol
So you’re telling me these converters are better than the Behringer ADA 8000 that wins in blind shootouts on Gearslutz every time?
Mix was sick
Any chances of a review of the Chaos Audio Stratus Multi FX Pedal
Glen what kind of Dante/Preamp unit would br compatible for the MT 48
how did you do too stick the MD421 on that shure mic clip? 🤣
Hey Glenn! Curious, is the interface made out of aluminum or plastic? Thanks!
Hey Glenn, What Kind Of V is that there? Just wondering. Thanks.
I just Saw a video of you praising the RME Baby Face with loopback, And now you get this, have you changed your mind about the RME.
How is the comparison of Driver/ DSP and latency ?
Curious if you tried their “fix” for loopback.
Would you ditch what your using now for an interface and convert to the MT48?
I can imagine the QuadCortex releasing a feature like this in the future
Store mix settings? Shavin kit studio
Um, where were the cymbals in the mix? I checked on a couple of sources and there was nothing. Doubt it was the interfaces fault, but still curious. Also, if that super hot snare is the new sound, give me back the old.
The DI thing bothered me so much, thanks for reminding me my UAD Apollo was a terrible investment Glen! Love the videos haha
AMAZING
could not help but notice a fractal being used.... what no plug in's? Gleeeennnnn!!!!
Definitely an interesting option... would not be a replacement for what I use in my main room, but for my editing and video rig.... the wheels are turning. Thx Glenn
Wow. Love their mics. I’m down to try it out.
Edit: Not for that price. I can’t afford that I’m a struggling artist lifestyle. Hey Glenn, let me have that. 😘
C'mon Glenn! I only just purchased the Nux Mighty Plug Pro! I'll have to declare bankruptcy if I click on every affiliate link of a product you recommend! Further edit: Why do you always have the cymbals so quiet in a mix?
It's a beauty but expensive lol. If you are a guitar player and not an engineer you would be better off getting a DI and a load box, Radial makes good inexpensive front end gear. Not the same as Neuman but I doubt most would hear the difference.
Just don’t get the radial x-amp!!
yes i was kinda waiting for Glenn to say "It's super nice but if you can't afford this, make some great music with something 1/10 of the price..." but hey it's vendor sponsored content and it's not like he hasn't said so much in general terms before.
@@SebBrosig Can't blame the guy, he's gotta make cash and the unit itself is what he says it is. The rest of us can let our pockets make up our minds for us hehe
@@SpectreSoundStudios I just watched the vid you did on that, curious if you ever reached out to them or vice versa. Or is you ever had the unit checked for malfunction.
what is the aes 67 dante stuff for?
I feel Ike buying this and the Anubis and switching cases... To make everything black.. Like my soul. 😅
What headset are you using?
Not bad, but at that price, I'd probably go with a presonus studio live 32sc series 3 mixer as my interface.
People in the comments:
Its a tool for pros.
It has a talkback mic, 2 monitor pair outputs...
The price is not for us home studio engineers.
Its ok.
Is this better than the Fireface by RME?
Glenn is just one of those guys you wanna root for.👍
Easy...the one I own and have paid for. Thanks Glenn... Next video please 😅😂
Glenn you should narrate stories on your free time holy shit that voice 😮
