At the. 3:38 mark of the video I can say I dont know why every thinks a light interface is a selling point. I dont care for light weighted interfaces. I would rather have heavy interfaces as they are more durable. Plastic interfaces drop and pretty much could be destroyed for sure but a full heavy weighted interface like the Focusrite Scarletts are durable, heavy and can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.
It seems the response to the Audient EVO, same target, same difference in the mic preamps from the “biggest brothers” (see the Audient id series). This review does not even mentions the mic preamps quality and that’s quite unfortunate and, well... not professional, at least in its intentions: who cares to hear for minutes about how “sexy” the gear looks instead of speaking of building quality, durability, mic preamps gain, noise and so on?
12:15 they now allow you to adjust some of the basic parameters. One slider for compression, and slider for low, slider for mid, and slider for high. They also have a thing called rumble reduction which reduces the impact of when a mic is adjusted. It has three levels: off, low, high. Low seems to work well for me because high seems to be overly hollow and absent of low frequencies while off is too risky for my movements. I'm guessing that the rumble reduction is basically a compressor on the low frequencies only, but I am not sure. You can adjust these settings for each of the presets. Very nice touch. They still do not have a dB meter anywhere in the program though.
I have question can you hear your guest through your headphones?? Because i have noise cancel headphones so i cannot hear my guest and i need something i can hear someone through the mixer! Also can you put it into your PC and hear lets say gameplay sounds through the mixer?
Useless piece of garbage as is Focusrite customer support. Nice idea but when I tried to record a phone call I found out that it's not plug and play. Turning on the feature and adjusting volume can't be done on the unit (unlike Zoom P4 or Rodecaster Pro, for example). Can only be done in the software which only works on newer Macs. Reached out to Focusrite support. The tech was rude and unhelpful. There are better options from more reliable companies for less money. This company isn't upfront about what you're getting and tech support is useless. Shameful.
We're very sorry to hear that you encountered problems, Dick. If we understand correctly, you should find that you are able to control the output level from the phone, using the phone itself. We would like to look into the conversation that you had with our Support Team, if you're able to send us a private message on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook, providing your ticket number, it would be most helpful.

Thanks for the video and great well rounded review 👍🏼 So where does the podcast save then if it doesn’t have an SD card? Also it sounds like there was some hiss from the pre Amps on this? I noticed it especially when you muted and came back on (on your own the first time). It’s probably because the gain was turned up roughly 85% of the way. Interesting 🤔
I have the vocaster 2 and I have tried to connect my microphone with my iphone since it has a trrs input and I have tried and it does not work? can u help me
Great review and the mic sounds really good to me. How would you say the mic stands up against say the Shure MV7X and Rode Podmic?

Find these settings by clicking the Edit button in the top right corner of the Host or Guest box in the vocaster hub program.
Highly appreciated 👍
Nice, but too much money for someone just starting out.
Was helpful! Thank you.
Thank you :)
