About this deal

The Volt 276 by Universal Audio (UA) is a remarkable audio interface with exceptional build quality, offering solid construction that ensures durability and longevity. Its high-quality built-in compressor enhances signals naturally, making it particularly effective for vocals and guitar/bass recordings.

The Scarlett 8i6 is an "in-betweener" interface, bridging the gap between the 4i4 , which has no S/PDIF capabilities, and the 18i8 with additional I/O options at a price jump. Some popular brands of 16 channel audio interfaces include Focusrite, Presonus, Behringer, Universal Audio, and MOTU. Do I need special software to use a 16 channel audio interface? While we’re hands-down in love with this interface, we did encounter a slight issue with the smart-gain feature. The gain basically just glitched out as we were testing it. However, it could’ve easily been a coincidence or a random happening. The interface loses settings when powered off. So our settings were getting reset, but then we went into the EVO app and it showed in realtime all the changes we were making. That’s where we stored the mixer settings and once the preferences were set up the interface would power on and the saved settings would remain! This is a bit of a process, but it’s good to know that there is a workaround. Secondly, there are no MIDI ports. But that’s not a problem either if you have USB MIDI controllers

With only four mic preamps you're a little limited in what you can record unless you have other Apollo interfaces lying around to combine with it. RME is known for making the highest quality recording gear available, and the Fireface comes with pretty much every feature a sound engineer could want as well. This kind of simplicity is particularly welcome when you want to make a recording of a live performance. Interfacing all the necessary analogue equipment (mics, stage boxes, monitors and so on) correctly is a challenge in itself, without having to worry about using splitter boxes, or connecting looms to your mixer's direct outputs, and then connecting those to your computer! With an all-in-one mixer/interface, by the time you've got the gig set up, all you need to do is connect the desk to a laptop via USB or Firewire, and hit the record button in your DAW. The Return Journey

Both Volts 1 and 2 are plug-and-play USB-C interfaces that offer UA’s excellent preamps on their combi inputs, with one input available on the Volt 1 and two on the Volt 2. These offer a great vintage tube sound on your inputs, giving recordings a richness rarely heard in this price range. In this article, we're choosing 8 channel audio interfaces that have at least 8 analog inputs. So you can rest assured you'll have the capacity to fully mic a drum kit, or capture your 8-piece kazoo orchestra as it performs its latest opus. multimode analog outputs include 8 DC-coupled TRS outputs to control synth modules, expression devices, and more The 4i4 sits in a comfy middle ground with 2 combo input preamps, 2 1/4" inputs, and 4 outputs. It offers more mic inputs to accommodate the requirements of many home studio configurations. You can even hook up Behringer's very own ADA8200 mic preamp unit to the ADAT input of the UMC to create more mic preamps for your recording needs.If you're a fan of the UA sound, you'll love the software bundle that's included with the Apollo x8 interface. The Realtime Analog Classics bundle includes legendary name compressors and amp simulations. As we’ve come to expect from the Scarlett series, we found the sonics are neutral and the drivers reliable. The Air option tilts the frequency response towards high frequencies, and this can be great for taming undesirable proximity or adding high-frequency lift. With a decent software bundle included, this is a solid upgrade and a great affordable audio interface. In our experience, Focusrite’s Scarlett USB interfaces have traditionally combined excellent sonics and audio flexibility at affordable price points, and the third-generation units keep up the good work.
