    My EVO 8 is my first ever foray into the world of USB interfaces. Got one a few days ago, had pitifully low mic volume, so Sweetwater sent me a replacement which is far better. Anyhow, I plugged in a microphone (an old AKG C1000S, and turned Phantom power on of course) and listened to my own voice via headphones. Meh, I thought, I'd never get to sell any records! (I don't need to, I'm retired!) :) But then, with Cakewalk running, and the proper ins and outs set, I turned the "Echo" on for the audio track. And then put in a reverb plugin, Sonitus for Cakewalk, into the track. Wow, what a huge difference! I almost fell off my chair! Seemed like the volume went up double or more! The sensitivity of the mic shot up and I could even hear the creaking of the chair I was sitting on! Unbelievable! It is a fascinating mystery, this audio technology. I didn't even turn the Loopback feature on; in fact I have to figure that out from an Audient video. As I said above, without the "echo on" and the reverb features, don't expect to sell any records, haha! On the DAW you use may have its own tricks. As for me, Cakewalk is like, um, a piece of cake! Last June I got a Mackie USB mixer, the ProFX6V3. It is superb, but the reverb settings are nothing to brag about; aside from that, it is excellent, esp. the Mic preamps. The USB is 2 out, 2 in; whereas the EVO 8 is 4 out, 4 in. The Allen and Heath ZEDi 10-FX mixer ($280) also has 4 out, 4 in USB. Oh, and Macke has just released a brand new Onyx8 mixer, $500, with 4 out, 4 in. The trouble with these USB interfaces, is that they are dead in the water without a computer! So for everyday vocal practice I plan to just use the Mackie mixer and only use the EVO 8 to record a song.
    SO WHY are 4 USB tracks so much better than 2? Ah, it is because audio inputs like from cell phones and tablets, even CD players, are all stereo so they need 2 USB tracks. It is so nice that you can press down inputs 3 and 4 (or 1 and 2) on the EVO 8 and create a stereo input track. Plus vocal, that makes 3. So a 2 out, 2 in USB does not cut it.

    Can I multitrack record instruments with this into Logic? I am looking for something that will let me track an ASR-10, ASR-X and Yamaha FB-01 in stereo. No microphones for now. Is this the right thing for the job? Ideally I would like to make some kind of template project in Logic where all of aforementioned machines all have their own seperate tracks immediately, hooked up to one interface/mixer so I can record them seperately or all at once if need be. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I bought Logic years ago and only now have time to properly learn it. I usually just make beats inside the ASR's but it's very limiting, but the sound is something I would like to integrate in my Logic workflow.

    Hey. I was wondering, I have an audient evo 8, and i have it hooked up via PC with studio monitors connected in "1" with TRS cables in the back, and headphones connected to "1" in the front. I have a mic hooked up to "1" on the left back and a keyboard plugged in the back on the left in "2". I tried recording, and everything was recorded fine. However, while I'm playing the keyboard and even the mic, I can't hear anything back. I even tried unplugging my headphones to see if I can hear them through my studio monitors and nothing comes out. I can't figure this out as I've always used Focusrite. Audient Evo seems a bit harder to figure out. I even tried plugging my headphones into my studio monitors and still nothing comes out. But when I record, it plays back

    • @imamusicmogul
      @imamusicmogul  Před rokem

      It really depends. For me personally and the work I do 96khz is more than enough. 192 is really high and at the end of the day music gets bounced down to 44.1. So it’s completely up to you depending on your workflow.
