unfa almost gets killed by a falling fridge.
unfa: "good take!"
Oh crap, I forgot to take the trash out today.
Be careful!
the fridge is one om my best friends
Just did the survey, waiting for this one, as I'm looking for one, and one of them is in list, but I saw some other interesting choices as well.
The lack of fridge stacking in this video is disturbing.
Is there a way to support unfa's work by donating (old) fridges? ;-)
_Man I hate fridges!_
Or you could interview people in the community to know how well these interface behaves. I heard about issues with Scarlet for example. I am also curious about using the mobile as a Midi controller
i dont use entry level interfaces.what i like is 2 outputs for 2 pairs of the studio monitors 8x8 spdif
MOTU MOTU MOTU-AVB, right now we have to patch and recompile the kernel to get them to work on 64x64 channel mode.
Unfortunately I don't have means to test such high-profile hardware.
Done. I can recommend Swissonic and Steinberg devices on Linux. Running without any problems for years.
Hi Unfa, Nice Video. How about include midi controlers in the testing survey?
If there's gonna be a sponsor for testing MIDI controllers - sure, but I have budget only for audio I/Fs this time :)
I am actually using one of the interfaces in the list and it will be interesting to hear your experience anyway.
It is Steinberg UR22 MK2. It works well with Pipewire and not good with PulseAudio. I am not doing any Pro Audio anymore, but I was using it with Jack and it also worked well. If you can call working with Jack at general well too, lol.
x32-umc1820-ada-8200 in comination and functionality. the diferent formats and standards ... thank you very much!!!
@unfa ? are you interested in a musikproject? i think you are crazzy like me... but younger, ok... but the same , have a look to my music and you understand... on soundcloud i wright ...
@@marc.w.7692 Hey! I am quite busy with my own projects, sorry :D
These are a bit too expansive and too large for me to test. Howevr I have sued X32 and XR18 with success recording multitrack audio into Ardour using a KXStudio LiveDVD installation.
Some of them works quite well so non need to test: Focusrite and all the Behringer. I don't know the others..
It may still be of use to the community to see them in action and also compared with other devices in a Linux context.
i use Emu 0404 usb 2x2 + analog limiter, el opt spdif and Presonus Firestudio Project 8x8 with spdif. they work on Debian
Thanks for mentioning that! I'm aiming for 2x2 interfaces since that's a basic minimum that most people seem to need for starters. Unless you record entire bands or drumkits that's usually enough.
I am so curiuos, how is it going on with your testing, when there are coming some results??
I've collected some data on Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen in comparison to Behringer UMC202HD (which I've been using for many years now).
It'll take me some time to make a video on that though. It's coming :)
in question 1 - i could not see any more devices to be able to click on = the choices didn't scroll :( so i didn't fill the from in .. sorry - prob my fav out of the bunch was the "Behringer Xenyx Q502USB" - but any you choose would make a great video :)
There is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the selection frame, have you seen it?
@@unfa00 phhhhhhht,i have now now since you pointed it out i have a dark screen layout,the browser uses the same colours - it was dark on dark .... filling it in now :)
@@unfa00 ok big guy,i filled it in,now it says "problem with question 2 (and 4)" ..... seems to me that using gieszer is not for total thicko`s like me ... - if you would like a nooooob to break something else hit me up :)
How about the Motu M2 or M4? I have that interface, it works fine. (as an headphone amp and als xlr mic input)
But I don't know about the "low latency custom usb driver" stuff they advertise for Windows.
I Linux review of somebody who actually kows about the stuff he is testing would be great.
For my untrained ears thy sound great with the Audiotechnica M50x in my setup.
Unfortunately the MOTU devices woould break my budget for this project.
*The Linux Audio Interface Testing Survey has ENDED!*
*The device scores are as follows (Yes counted as 2 points, Maybe as 1 point and No as 0 points):*
201 | Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen
188 | PreSonus Studio 24c
187 | Steinberg UR22 MK2
181 | Behringer UMC202HD
174 | Steinberg UR22C
163 | Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen
147 | Solid State Logic SSL 2
141 | NI Komplete Audio 2
136 | Behringer Xenyx Q502USB
120 | Swissonic UA-2x2
120 | Behringer UM2
108 | ESI MAYA44 eX
84 | TC-Helicon Go XLR MINI
Because the margin between Steinberg UR22 MK2 and UR22C was minimal, I've decided to go for the latter instead, as it's a more recent device.
The budget has allowed me to purchase 3 devices. Since I own a Behringer UMC202HD already, I've ordered 2i2 3rd gen, Studio 24c and UR22C. I'll be testing these four together.
Thanks to all who've submitted their input. The polll has gathered 272 answers. I am sure this survey will allow us to maximize the utility of my work for the Linux noisemaking community. Stay tuned!
So? what device will be tested? I was going to buy Behringer XENYX 1204USB I've read good reviews, What you think?
I've missed results in the pinned comment :)
I believe the Xenyx line has 16-bit stereo USB interface built into the mixer. It's probably going to be quite noisy.
Done
Thanks!
I just use a zoom h6 with the xy mic {best zoom mic} I got it back when it came with 2 mics and a case sadly the new black one dos not, 4 jacks 5 if I count the line in on xy mic honestly the h5 would have been prabably better in price and if I got it now I would go for the h5 sadly most hardware synths are soy toys though just laim so I end up sampling and returning once I have kept {Korg Volca Drum Digital and arturia microfreak} I have a korg nts-1 but calf monosynth or zynaddsub with impulse reverb and other is better I did not know linux audio stuff was that good I think most hardware synths are just scams in comparison money down the toilet {also the zoom h5 and h6 use some patented format exfat I think it now out of pattent and there is a github fix for it that you need to add to most linux systems}
They dedicated an entire day to windows?
LOL
Done. :D
Thanks!
I use a PCI card and therefore I am not qualified to participate in your USB survey.
It's not just USB devices. one of them is a PCI interface, but it requires an extra piece to accept XLR input. It could be very muhc worth it, who knows!

Coś małe te interfejsy. Chciałbym raczej zobaczyć takie co mają wiele wyjść do komputera, np 8 czy 16 i jak działa nagrywanie wszystkiego naraz w Ardour. :)
Tak czy siak - zagłosowane. Pzdr
PS. Jak już będziesz miał je wszystkie to podłącz ze 3 naraz i zobacz czy z użyciem PipeWire można wykorzystać je jednocześnie i nagrywać np. 6 ścieżek w tym samym czasie.
Sorry, że nie po angielsku ale mam słaby :)
Chętnie bym też potestowal większe, ale to oznacza większy koszt - plus skądś trzeba wziąć sygnał do testu. Nagrywałem swego czasu koncerty z Behringer X32 oraz XR18 na laptopa z KxStudio, ale z dużą latencja (żeby uniknąć x-runow).
And the results .. are?
In the pinned comment :)
Survey link offline?
I just checked and it worked for me. Maybe try again?
@@unfa00 I’m getting blank.
@@DragonActual it took a while for me to load, but it should work if you wait a little
This is a non-question , cause some do not support linux
I a not sure what is your logic there. If some do not work, then we should find out which ones do work, right?
Hey Unfa, you could (if you didn't already) give a shout out about B.Music channel, he's starting a series about lv2 development. Thanks.
Good idea! I just watched this video and shared it on my channel :)
Probably best to REMOVE THE LINK!
I thought I did, but I've had it in two places. Fixed now. I've also updated the thumbnail.
Also, your channel is pretty good!
@@nanotechnicianhq Thank you :)
