Also, if you’re looking for a high-end preamp, then this probably isn’t for you. That’s not to say that the preamps aren’t quality on this little guy; I actually thought they were pretty good (more than enough for my needs). But UA makes the Apollo at a higher price point for a reason. It does what its supposed to do, and comes with a pretty significant software bundle if you're just starting out. I use it as a midi-out/line-in recording interface and it works fine. If you're cross shopping it with the Focusrite Scarlet, I don't know if the little "vintage" button on this one really sets it apart. At this price point, I think the Volt 2 is one of the top options on the market at the moment. The Volt 2 versus the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 The Input Meters show the signal level of the input, which is controlled by the Gain knob. The red input LED lights when the input signal is near 0 dB. Tip: Clipping occurs when the signal is overloaded. When clipping occurs, the top of the waveform is squared off, creating distortion that may be unpleasant. Clipping has creative uses, but is usually avoided. To prevent clipping, adjust the gain so only green and yellow meters light, and the red LED doesn't light. Join Virgin Media broadband and get double the mobile data on every eligible O2 Pay Monthly plan in your household, a broadband speed boost to the next available level (if you aren’t already on the fastest speeds you can get in your area), and supercharged connectivity at home and on the move. All when your household is with both Virgin Media and O2.

Press these buttons to toggle the impedance and gain of the line inputs to accommodate Hi-Z instruments, such as electric guitar or bass. These buttons are lit green when the Hi-Z inputs are enabled. That said, this is an entry-level device. At this price point, you won’t find the top-of-the-world preamps that are built into some of Universal Audio’s higher-end products, and you won’t get a ton of extra bells and whistles. But you will get a solid audio interface that, for many people, will more than get the job done. Tip: Clipping occurs when the signal is overloaded. When clipping happens, the top of the waveform is squared off, creating distortion that may be unpleasant. Clipping has creative uses, but is usually avoided. To prevent clipping, adjust the gain so only green and yellow meters light, and the red LED doesn't light. (4) Vintage Buttons

Customer Added Media

If the name on your Virgin Media broadband account matches the name on your O2 mobile account, your Volt benefits will be added automatically within 14 days. This will happen unless you were already a customer of both before 18 October 2021. In this case, you'll need to go into My O2 to activate your benefits.

To begin with setup, follow the steps below. The UA Connect software guides you through the process step-by-step. One thing that I didn’t really care for was that the Phantom Power (48V) is shared between channels 1 and 2. This means you probably shouldn’t use a condenser and a dynamic mic together. Overall, though, the preamps perform and sound great for its price tag. It really does maintain that quality expected from Universal Audio. Recording Findings for Windows Users First joint product gives customers the best of both brands, with even greater value on UK’s fastest major broadband provider and award winning mobile networkWith these preamps you’ll get a nice 55 dB gain range and an equivalent input noise (EIN) of around -129 dB. Finally, we have the Marshall Plexi bundle from Softube. Amp emulation can be complex, but this bundle simplifies it, while sounding great. The new joint offering comes less than 150 days since Virgin Media O2 launched, building on the company’s momentum of almost 13 million gigabit premises passed and 5G coverage from O2 expanded to 210 locations. Volt highlights Virgin Media O2’s commitment to offer more choice, convenience and innovation with seamless broadband, entertainment and mobile services all available under one roof. You'll also get a broadband speed boost to the next available level (up to a max of 1Gbps) in your household and supercharged connectivity at home and on the move. That's just for being with us both.

But whatever audio interface you go with, the most important thing is that you get out there and start creating. Why are soundcards designed for left handed people? Headphones should be on the left and inputs should be on the right. Having those cables criss-crossed is annoying. Left handed people rejoyce! Use direct monitoring when you are recording sources that you don’t need to monitor through your software. For example, use direct monitoring for vocals or instruments that don’t require you to listen to effects or plug-ins in your software. For example, you can connect with a USB-C to USB-C cable if your computer has a USB-C port. For iOS or iPad devices, connect the interface with a USB-C cable (iPads with USB-C) or with the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter (other iPadOS and iOS devices).Volt 2 is the most compact and affordable 2-input option from the entire UA Interface catalogue. By having two inputs, Volt 2 is the perfect way to start recording your guitar and vocals simultaneously, podcast/live stream with two hosts or even record stereo instruments. The Studio 24c is essentially the updated version of my old AudioBox, and it’s a decent piece of equipment. Like the Motu M2, the Studio 24c has LED level display. If bus power is insufficient, connect Volt to external 5VDC power to compensate for the underpowered USB port. The small footprint is ideal for mobile recording or tight desktop studio setups. Plus, the chassis is made from metal, so you have the confidence it can withstand years of rigorous use.

And with that feature set, it’s probably worth qualifying… Who is this product for? The Volt 2 is great for… But, one of the big selling points (particularly for anyone looking to enter the world of music production) is the included software. Based on the classic Universal Audio 610 mic pre, Vintage Preamp mode replicates the classic richness favored by many, including Van Halen and Ray Charles. If you join Virgin Media broadband, or live in a household where a Virgin Media broadband service is registered, you’ll get double the mobile data on every eligible O2 Pay Monthly plan in your household. Now, I'm using the old all USB C cable instead of the one that comes with the unit. Not sure if there is a difference. The sound quality seems to be a bit more clear imo than the Audient.The plugin uses a dynamic ‘Round Robin’ algorithm, which means anyone can get their rhythm section going without spending hours mic’ing a kit up. Virtual Bassist DANDY They deliver transparent clear audio with condenser mics and still sound clean at high gain levels, which is crucial for low-sensitivity dynamic mics.
