    Hello! Thank you for this very useful video!
    I have a question: if I want to use a condenser microphone (and then use the Phantom), but without the AAA batteries, can I replace them with a powerbank?
    I saw an official Roland video, where your smartphone can be connected in the "plug in mic" input, instead of in the usb input. Maybe in this way you can use the powerbank to power the Phantom through the USB input (but maybe in this way you can not record audio and video at the same time ).
    Thanks in advance!

    • @Khordmaster
      @Khordmaster Před 2 lety

      To be a bit more clear, when connecting the 3.5 cable to my iPhone via a USB adapter, I cannot hear audio from my iPad which is connected to usb. If I turn on loop back then the loop recording I’m doing also recorded what’s being played (not what I want) and if I connect my iPad to say the front audio device port then it nullifies my ability to record audio into iPad

    Thanks for the review! I was wondering: For comparison, are there any additional usb-powered portable mixers with a comparable set of inputs or even more outputs? I'm trying to get a scope for the range of devices at this price point, and see if this is indeed the best at its price point. I'm thinking about how well the audio out of this would pair with a little $150 portable speaker with a 1/8" input (headphone jack).

    Hello lovely channel: Here is my Gear...
    An acoustic Martin D18 guitar with a K&K mini pickup installed. A SHURE beta 87a phantom powered mic. A STOMP BOX made by ORTEGA and a Fishman Loudbox Artist amplifier.
    Here is the question; I know the GO gives a dry signal, would it be a better idea to use DIRECT LINE IN LINE OUT and connect the amp to the GO? Would I then need to monitor with my headset in my amp or monitor with my headset plugged into the GO? Would the settings on my AMP have effect on the sound,...I mean is for example chorus and echo noted while monitoring? And the other question: Will my iPhone use the build in mic also when plugged in the GO?

    Cheap & nasty gizmo that won’t stand the test of time… like you said its cheaply made… Go for something more robust - Focusrite & small passive or active mixer - passive instruments also need an Active Di box to boost the signal & give you a crisper line level 👍🏼 Focusrite is only £130 cheaper for a 212. Good honest review on the product though 👍🏼 Thanks for uploading. Personally i’d stick with Focusrite for now 👍🏼
