Lovely intro music and walking through walls
Loving that intro yo!
Thanks! I like to have fun! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video!!! For clarity....when using 2 sets of monitors (one set via 1& 2 output second via 3&4 output) pushing the designated buttons on the front allow for one or both sets to play, all while controlling the volume with the big knob?
No. That is exactly what I hoped it would do but it does not. My second set of little speakers, which are attached to output 3-4, have their own volume control so it kinda does what I want. Outputs 1-4 on the back of the Volt 476 are line outputs. Monitor outputs are 1-2. I believe that is the same for the Audient ID14 MKII. Hope this helps! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
@@SonnyGreenwichJr wow...aww man. My goal in getting this interface was to utilize 2 sets of monitors however, my second pair will not have an "easily accessible" volume control. Thanks for responding so quickly... great work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
the line outputs are customizable through your daw, which is my there isn't a dedicated knob for them on the unit. A solution for your case would be using USB MIDI controller to map a knob to the line out volume.
I’m in the middle of moving (I know a terrible time to move!) but I’m gonna try this! What a great idea
Thanks for the example dude, your video was recommended first as volt vs audient! nice. I've been back and forth between either getting the audient id44 mk2 and the 476P Volt. Originally i wasn't looking at apollo, but was considering buying a 1176 clone, but that would be one mono, vs having this 76 available on each channel. so some interesting ideas. In my head I prefer the Audient, also, how has the volt been on windows? or do you not use windows - thats my other concern.
I use Logic on a Mac, but I'm sure the Volt works with Windows. I've been really enjoying the Volt for the Pres & Comp thing, it's just so easy to use. I also use the switching between out 1-2 & 3-4 as A/B for listening to different takes. I don't think you'll be disappointed! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
BEST REVIEW i have ever seen.
Thank you for such an amazing compliment! I hope it helped you decide what you'd like to do! Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment!
Salutations from astonishingly sunny, warm & weirdly back to normal Ireland! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
Very good video! Currently I have an Allen & Heath Zed 428 mixer and a Motu 828mk3 audio interface and the truth is that I use at most 3 channels simultaneously and it really takes up a lot of space. I'm thinking of changing all my equipment for the Audient id44 or UAD volt 476... my only doubt is if I'm going to get audio of the same quality. - how good is the sound quality of the audient Id44 or volt 476? Thanks for sharing
Hey Adrian Thanks for dropping by AND leaving a comment! I don't think you can go wrong with either the Volt or the Audient, I have both but I use the Volt every day. I think the sound is fairly similar however I really like being able to use the Pre & Compressor on the way in (kinda like to tape in the old days!) with the Volt. This will also helps if you're just doing a quick voiceover etc. They both allow for routing to external stuff too ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️
@@SonnyGreenwichJr You're welcome, I really liked your video! Thank you very much for answering! I think it will be a bit difficult to sell my mixer but I will prioritize the work space! thank you
Thanks for the video! With the extra outputs, are you able to change the level independently to the monitors?
Basically I’m looking for 3 or 4 to be at max output so that I can Reamp guitars. By the looks of other comments you can’t control the output level on 3 and 4.
No, not really. I have a set of speakers with their own volume assigned to outs 3-4. The volume control on the Volt only works on the 1-2 output.
In fact, after looking at the Audient ID14 MII I'm not sure it does it either.
Thanks for the comment & dropping by Jon! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
@@jonlast88 3-4 will be coming out at line level, so I think for re-amping this will work. You still have some type of control of the volume send from within the DAW (as in, lower the fader on output 3-4)
@@SonnyGreenwichJr thanks so much. Have a lovely Sunday!
Nice video bro! in ur opinion of the Volt 4 and Id14 which has better sound quality ? bc I had a ID14 sound quality was great but was a lot of build quality issues with it before it just completed died on me so im looking for a new interface
I can't tell the difference in recording quality, extremely good for the price. I'm really enjoying the Volt and i'm not sponsored or anything 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
@@SonnyGreenwichJrI agree with you brother, but do you think they are equal in background noise or the audient wins? 🤍❤
I don't think it's even possible to get the noise floor too loud with these preamps. I've never had an issue with noise. From my guitar, yes, but not the pre...
@@SonnyGreenwichJr Do you think they're better than Arturia?
@@-simple4190 I've never used the Arturia but I think most pres are very gfood these days. THhe fact that the Volt has the pre and Compressor included really sold me on these plus the fact that they can be used with USB power is extremely handy
Hi Sonny. I’m really dying to know .....listening to Vegas is Great, with all that lovely soundscape stuff with you and the wife having a laugh. The bass drum hits are toe curling just after the start. They literally blow out my front room walls. Probably because my speakers are large as well ......Can you remember what mic it was recorded with? I’m guessing that compression fattened it up, but it’s a wonderful sound. Love that album.
Also on Los Angeles, is that oboe sound sampled or a keyboard generated sound? I’m a retired oboist and listening to it closely shows that it has the anomalies of sound that you get on an American oboe with certain notes. (Especially C, which changes tone in comparison to the surrounding notes) Oboes tend to be uneven in response between individual notes and it is there on that sample!! If it is a keyboard sound, it’s terrific, but I suspect all of the notes of the oboe have been sampled!
The quality of the recording is great. The bass sound is bottomless! River of Tears is gut wrenching in the bass at the start!! Beautiful. Did you mix this?
Happy New Year.
The drums on Vegas are a Matt Chamberlain loop that I beefed up a bit with SSL Buss compression. The oboe is Spitfire Audio sample that I played in on keys. I can't remember if I played the bass part on keys or if Pat Crowley (from Mary Black's band) did it. Pat plays most of the keyboard parts on River of Tears.
I mixed and mastered all of the music at home using Logic Pro X including all the new songs. 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
It’s a fantastic mix. The oboe samples must have been taken over different ranges I think. That tonality on the note C gives it away because it’s always American oboists that produce that sound on that particular note and French/Italian players because they use a different system of fingering compared to UK oboes. Those samples are pretty good. If they had vibrato, it would be hard to hear that they are samples.
My speakers virtually leap off the ground when that bass drum hits. REALLY deep.
@@iancraig I love that! haha! Thanks so very much for listening too! Between the videos & writing songs, I've managed to not go completely bonkers in the last two years! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
Great video. Uad volt 2 or uad 176 or audient id4 mk1 which is better thanks
Hey! I'm really enjoying my Volt 476. If you don't need as many inputs I would go for the 276, I really love the Pre & Compressor this interface gives you. Plus as I discovered they seem to work just on USB power no problem, makes it easy for travel purposes.
From shockingly sunny, almost warm and almost normal Ireland! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
So, after almost a year, do you still like the volt more then the id14? Anything that you don't like about the volt where the id14 was better?
Hi Susan! To be honest, I haven't missed the Audient at all, and having the Pre + Compressor has been very useful in doing Podcasts and the like! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
This is an encouraging review. I look forward to seeing how this works with iOs on the ipad etc. I know that the Audient interfaces don't work at all.
I haven't tried on IOS yet but I will and let you know! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
Volt series has an additional power input especially intended for tablets, phones etc with too weak USB power to power the interface. Sanjay (sorry if I butchered his name) mentioned this and showed it hooked up.
@@randomgeocacher Thanks! This only handles part of the question. I’m wondering how the Volt 476 iPad Pro or Android connection will handle the complex audio routing. For instance, I can get my MOTU M4 to work in stereo with my Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 in the MOTIV app, but when streaming it messes up and won’t let me save audio; and the back 2 inputs don’t seem to work. On the iPad Pro it only seems to work in GarageBand, etc. The IRig Pro Duo I/O works great for recording and streaming on both devices (not Facebook, won’t let you save the videos) but it’s only stereo input and prone to more interference noise.
That’s the one I’ve narrowed down to my #1 choice! Need a new Mac first though, been waiting for M2 iMac or Apple Studio. Peace!
Yeah, I really want to upgrade too! Have to save the pennies for a bit longer! ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️
Hey Sonny, can I bend your ear? Louise here. I've been a subscriber for months and commented before, but recently realized someone else was using my email. I assumed it was a google accident, closed that account, made another. Never occurred that it could be a hack, she might have social media, a youtube channel, etc using my email, and would just revive it. So I'm trying to close down lokiicat, my former address, starting fresh under my mom's name. Just letting people know where I have commented more actively. At this point I'm still writing my first script and have not filmed. Your videos inspired me to give it a try. Thanks!
Crazy stuff, I got phished the day but luckily I caught it before they tried anything! Can't wait to see your film! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
I don't care about the quality too much but which one has less background noise in your opinion?
I thought I answered you earlier I guess it got lost in the ether... I think the noise floors of both these devices is so low, you will never hear it. Because of the floating point in today's DAWs you would have to raise the volume purposefully to even get close to noise. Hope that helps!
Checking that device carefully. I must use it live to play VSTs, for me is essential how to drive volume on output 3 and 4 (my monitors), hopefully independently from main stereo out.
A question: isn't it better to compress and eq after recording? If you do it on the audio board you cannot change it while you are mixing. Am I wrong?
You can have independent outputs 1-2 or 3-4. But what you can't do is send to two different pairs of monitors. It's possible to do it but you can't use the volume knob, you can use 3-4 direct out into speakers that have their own volume control.
For vocals and guitar I like to use eq and/or compression to the recording. You can then use a subtle touch to add additional eq and/or compression which I find better. You can't undo what has gone "to tape". Thanks for the comment, hope this answers your questions! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
@@SonnyGreenwichJr Mostly... I must find a good way to change output volume 3-4 on software. Is there a mix application for that?
@@furiobisotti8150 Not really. If you need separate control I would go for the Audient ID14 Mark II, it has two separate monitor outputs
@@furiobisotti8150 You can have separate volume control over outputs 3-4 in Logic but it does start to get complicated. It's easy if you only want to send some things to 3-4
@@SonnyGreenwichJr I agree. I use Logic to produce at home and GigPerformer to play live. I can theoretically access to every output on GigPerformer driving volume with a MIDI CC, but it would be safer to be sure that a mixer app like the Audient one can help. Currently I am using an Evo8 and it works perfectly with the mixer app
unrelated but you are awesome. may you never lose your inner joy
Thank you so very much, what a kind comment! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
audient iD14 MKII vs ssl 2+
which one is better ?
I haven't used the SSL myself so i couldn't say from experience. However I really liked my Audient and from what I hear the converters are superior to almost all in this class! Hopwe that helps a bit!
🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
awesome video
Thank you so much! Appreciate you dropping in & leaving a comment! Cool! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
I want to purchase one but confused between audient id4 vs universal 176
I think that if you are going to recording singing, or voice in general, you should go with the UAD because of the compressor & vintage pre. You'll get a great sound going in. The Audient has possibly slightly better converters but it's very hard to hear the difference.
I hope that helps! From almost nice Ireland! ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️
@@SonnyGreenwichJr in India, for Universal is i have to give 4000 rupees more cost, 🙁 if they are same, I think I should buy Audient, I want to do Voice over for different projects.
@@PODCASTSHALA in that case, you won’t be disappointed with the Audient. I had mine for years, it is a very good interface. I’d love to visit India some day! 💪🏽🤠👍🏽
@@SonnyGreenwichJr oh wow, welcome to India, anytime, Sir☺
Most reviews look at 476p. . This is only I can find on 476 … are there any advantages to this model
I bought mine before the p was released. I'm not sure I need to record 4 tracks at once, that would seem to be the only reason...
🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
@@SonnyGreenwichJr I heard that the advanatge is having two TRS inputs to record line level stuff keybpards et c and bypass the vinatge/ compression ? does that sound correct?
Ah yes, there are two extra TRS inputs. These could indeed be helpful with Stereo stuff for sure. Because i'm on my own in my home studio, i often overlook things like that! 💪🏽🤠👍🏽
Can you check if you're able to use it in the native camera app in ios.
Do you mean to record video? I think it is designed to work with IOS sound applications
@@SonnyGreenwichJr i just checked with another reviewer, it seems that it can be use to record sound when using video function is ios camera app.

@@SonnyGreenwichJr just picked up the unit yesterday after waiting for months for unit to arrive at my country.

Hi does the Universal audio volt 476 can be powered only with the usb cable? no need the powersupply?
Hi, I was curious about this myself! I just pulled the power plug out and to my surprise, the 476 just kept working! I'm not sure if UAD intends this or if all the options work. From what I can tell, by unplugging the unit, at very least the Eq & Comp seem to work.
@@SonnyGreenwichJr Thank you so much for your quick respond! Also, love your energy!
Outs and input pres are not at all sends and returns, for outboard gear. We don t want things to go into a preamp, no way
I'm not sure I understand what you mean? The inputs work as normal without engaging the pre or comp sections, you can turn them off no problem if you don't want to use them. I find them handy.
Thanks for dropping by AND leaving a comment, very important for me that the information is right 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
@@SonnyGreenwichJr hi ;)... A send and return, which is the proper way of connecting outboard gear are not the same thing. your input in that soundcard is always a preamp, and that will always colour the sound. Take care mate ;)
@@gibson2623 Ah yes, I see what you're saying, that is true. For a prosumer device though, this still has 4 ins and 4 outs that can easily be used to connect outboard gear albeit through a slightly coloured soundcard. Still a win in my books, no need to spend the big bucks
Cheers to you too, kind Sir! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘
Audient id24 22 have send and returns on the pres, to use outboard gear during recording, you can also bypass the preamps and go directly into the converters on the inputs.Nrither the Volt nor Id 14 has that.
