Sorry, but this video has nothing whatsoever to do with "setting up" an ASIO interface. All it shows is connecting a USB cable, and selecting the correct driver in the DAW. "Setting up" would include identifying the correct USB port (one not on the USB root hub for example), optimising the USB ports (disabling power save), selecting the most efficient buffer size to minimise pops/crackles & latency, and setting the correct sample rate & format based on what you want to achieve. Contrary to what the manufacturers would have you believe, setting up one of these devices isn't just a matter of connecting a cable. Unless you tweak the hell out of them, the chances are you're going to be unhappy with the experience. For example, you might want to change buffer size based on whether you're recording, in which case you'll want a low latency, or just processing an existing track, where latency matters less than sound quality and artefacts.
You also forgot to include that whenever you’re setting up the interface and connecting it to the speaker/monitors ensure that the interface is switch off because there’s a high chance it might blow the speakers
It's insane, literally a year ago I didn't care at all about high quality microphones. Now here I am with a shure mv7 and searching for XLR equipment. What caused this interest? I have no idea haha
Dear sir I Always watch your Video Very Motivational for everone . I m a voice actor . I want to Buy Audio Interface for voice over . But I want professional quality, So please Suggest me which Audio Interface is Best for me
If i record a guitar solo over a backing track simultaneously and monitor through a headphone. Would i able to hear both sound on the headphone at the same time during my recording?
Hey, Edward, really nice video! Thanks!!! Let me ask you something... does it work ok with other instruments, like an eletric piano? Every video I see only show guitars.
Hey there, can we reinstall the setup app of focustrite and the free software which we. Get with it on other laptop??I bought a new laptop and I want to install my focusrite software and Abelton Live Which I got with my interaface! Please help me with this
Hey Man! I have a little problem, I hope you can solve it for me. I've been using that same audio interface for about a year, I guess. Everything works great, but I've noticed that the sound that the audio interface receives is too low. The problem is that when I'm working on a song, I can't turn the audio up cause it gets saturated and ruins the song. I don't know if it has anything to do with the scarlett, or it's just me. Thx bro, great video!
Changing the volume shouldn't effect the quality of your song unless you go past the limit of distortion. In your case, I think your track might have a mixing problem or the sounds you are using aren't right. You are not hearing all the frequencies in your sounds when you play your track cause you are keeping it low. The way your track sounds when you turn up the volume to normal hearing is what your track really sounds like. Try exporting your song just to double check the quality. If you still have the saturation issue when playing the wave file, then it's the song... if not, it's something else.
I am having the same issue as well I have an at2020 and a 3rd gen audio Scarlett interface my mic doesn't turn up loud enough even at 70% where it's green it still sounds quite can you try mixcraft it has a 14 day trial it doesn't charge you after. Please and could you make a video on it?! I'll pay you 50$
if I'm going to plug the scarlett into the computer should I use their cable with apple dongle or should I buy a usbc to usbc cable? is there a quality one I should get?
Great demo. Could you do one on how to combine with video on ipad or computer. I have the scarlett solo 3rd gen and ipad 5th gen/ laptop but have no idea.
Hi Edward. Love the video, I couldnt understand what music software you mentioned, you were talking a bit fast . You need to slow down a little please so we can do what your asking us to do. Ive had to restart it a few times to try and listen to what music software you are using but I cannot understand you , sorry . A little slower would be great . Thanks.
Just one question, what is the name of the microphone input slot called? I am searching for a microphone to fit this interface. Do you have any suggestions on what mic is good for a affordable price? Thanks
@@WHENRIK You need a condenser microphone if you want to connect it to an audio interface. I'm dropping a video of the 3 best condenser microphones under $100 on Monday, so stay tuned for that!

Hey Edward i have a digital piano full keyboard and the connection on it is MIDI so i did connect it to my computer and then to FL-Studio so i am looking to buy this audio interface so if i connect this audio interface to my computer will the audio works for the Keyboard?
Thank you for your help. How I can stream on my iPhone with this audio interface and using the reverb effect from my Logic Pro x to sing with my mic 🎤? Thank you.
how can i separate the studio mornitors and headphones playing when i recording, cuz everytime i record vox i have to turn my speakers off. i think its really hurt my bottons lol.. so do i have to get a mackie bigknob in your video? in fact im regret that i didnt doing my research carefully, i should get a 2i2 nor solo 3rd gen.. i really need some help guys, plz.
Edward I wss hoping you will go over what the knobs mean on focusrite. Not sure where to press :). I was trying to connect my condenser mic Tonor TC-20 with focusrite solo to Audacity to record voice for a cover. But I don't see the mic working.
I actually already managed to record another cover somehow a few weeks ago on my old laptop but not sure how it was as I waw able to see the waveforms. Although after installing the drive there was some other window but the green light is visible. So maybe some driver is needed?

What's your opinion in buying a very lightly used like new Focusrite 2i2 on Facebook? What should I check to make sure everything is working well. Is it worth to buy this if there is a $60-80 reduction on price or to go buy a new one spending that extra money without taking any risk. Can you please explain the possible downside on such a purchase. So I can decide if should spend that extra dollars and buy a brand new one. Thanks. Awaiting your response

What do you think of the audio technica AT2020 vs the AT2035? Is it worth the extra 50?
You won't hear that much of a difference between the two to be honest, but the added shock mount of the AT2035 is pretty cool.
Edward Smith oh well I already have a shock mount so I’ll just get the 2020. Thanks for the help!

Finally someone who taught how to set it up!
in case you didnt catch the video is fucking worthless to 90% of people
So simple yet nobody explain this I had no idea how do so know on off thank you
what should i do if i still don't get sound out from my computer and the interface
Try restarting your computer 👀
You need speakers if you don't have them
you set your default playback device to your speakers if you dont want to use the scarlett monitoring because when you plug it in it defaults to that
You just gave me the link for this video. Thanks for your help!
Anytime 💪🏼

Hi! Do you think I should always turn off my interface when unplugging a cable? Do you think it will damage the performance of my audio interface?
Just turn your volume and phantom off when unplugging cables. Your interface should be fine then 👌🏼
