    Oh my god, man, thank you so much for such a slow paced clear video. I'm a musician, but a proper newbie with tech, and I've been so frustrated fumbling trying to connect the interface. I kept wondering what the 48V button was for, and you've just saved the day! Thank you and please keep making these. ❤️

    This is the BEST explanation Ive received. I almost gave up. This video was recorded 6YEARS ago. But it important for me who just bought the 2i2 3rd gen. Literary just received it today and couldnt hear anything. Now I know what was the problem. ( I bought the cables that were missing) Earned a LIKE.

    @becky0710 5 лет назад +2

    This video had been so helpful. I have absolutely no idea how to record but saved up for this studio pack. All the terminology the other tutorials use has scared me to death...this has been amazing. So well explained. I have even drawn a little picture of the front of the interface and labelled what everything is and does. Many thanks! X

  • @blueckaym
    @blueckaym 3 года назад +6

    Really good video!
    Sometime I feel some youtubers forget that there are plenty of newbies watching, and fail to explain simply the features and stuff ...
    But this video is great! Both explained things simply - to be clear for people that didn't have experience with preamps/interfaces etc... and still managed to keep it short enough and to the point to fit in the average user attention span! :)
    Keep it up man!

  • @Tomocide

    That's so so helpful. You're a real gem, an angel sent to rescue me out of my confusion with recording my vocal as a beginner using home studio recording. Infact I almost gave up with home studio recordings as I was finding it too overwhelming to cope 😭 until I came across this your super well explicit video that addresses all my recording concerns. Kudos to you 👏 🙌

    An exemplar video. I have watched a dozen on this unit, they entirely failed to talk around why things are the way they are or even key basics. Useful and much more professional than lots that don't have a corner of a bedroom to work in. Well done and thanks.

    Scarlett interface very clearly explained. In fact I was here after watching your other video on how to record vocal over a backing track in Ableton which actually helped me choose it for my DAW. Wish they had such videos on the Scarlett site or Ableton site which unfortunately isn't the case and leaves users guessing what to do!
