If this video didn't exist, I would have to get up and ask my roommate. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy, but I just made myself some tea and sat down.
LOL...
Actually same. Just drank 2 cups actually. Roommate not even home. 10/10 video.
Lmao best comment ever
Valid excuse
How is the squirrel doing?
Thank you so much, I just spent so much money on the audio interface and the studio monitors, and I was freaking out when I saw all of those holes and weird-named cables. Thank you again.
You're very welcome!
Same lmaoo
Lmao me too! It looks so daunting at first.
Thank you matthew!
I'm a guitar beginner from Taiwan who just looking for some information about connecting interfaces,
then I found this video.
Thanks a lot😊😊
It’s the NEVER GIVE UP sign in the back for me 😩 I quit after I lost my entire studio in 2008, but randomly out of nowhere I said “YOU KNOW WHAT, FCKDAT” !!! Thanks for being here 🙏🏽🥺❤
If this isn't working for you on Mac try going to System Preferences > Sound > Output and make sure your audio interface is selected
This was a very helpful video! I just got the krk monitors and the focusrite interface and video really helped me setting up my new home studio
Nice!
reply asap so if i buy me some rokit 10s or 8 and a interface thats it i can play my music and plug it into my gaming moniter for forza and stuff in futer please tell me i dont need any pc or laptop
Is there any hissing sound on idle when you connect through focusrite? Thanks in advance.
Wait so i cant just plug these into my laptop with an aux?
The krk rokit 5’s
Hello! The video was really helpful, but is it possible to make a guide on how to switch between using monitors and headphones (basically choosing where audio is played out from).
I’ve been kicking myself for the last 2 days trying to connect my gear. You sir are a lifesaver. Thank you for the detailed video. Dumbasses like myself really appreciate you taking the time to help us out.
Thanks Matthew, exactly the info I was looking for and explained in terms that even a non-techie like myself can get. Very useful emphasis on balanced,unbalanced. Great video.
Great video, Jan 14 2021 update, I am just now getting to this stage with my home studio setup so I needed to review this excellent video tutorial again.
Thanks
alright this is what ive been looking for. an explanation that the audio interface can output to a PA system from the computer. all these youtube videos only talk about audio interfaces connecting INTO the computer (for recording).
I could lay down and watch some try oh hauls for educational purposes, but this video changed my life.
O Primeiro que usou o Cabo P10 TRS no Monitor .......e Cabo P10 TRS na Interface Focusrite ..... Parabéns ...!!
I love my Focusrite it's awesome :) Luckily it's not too hard to set up monitors - I did them without tutorials but highly recommend people get them - loving my new set up.
There is always a show off 👀
I love my Focusrite 2i4.
He is back with another helpful tutorial. Thank you!
I appreciate you 💯
@@MatthewStratton morning l
Someone who is a newbie to setting up a studio like this, thank you so much for this video it helped tremendously.
You're very welcome!
Appreciate how thorough and clear you were with this. You answered the specific question I was searching for.
Awesome!!!
Hey I answered one of my concerns watching this, and now one more thing I'd like to understand and fix is: I like to play guitar over music, and now that I have properly connected my Kanto Tuk monitors to the UA Volt 1, my PC music doesn't sound quite the same. If I flick off the interface and go back to the other optical input I use for PC use my music sounds perfect.
The guitar and effects sound fine in both cases... So there's some type of processing or something going on I reckon
whats the difference between balanced and non balanced? Im starting to get into music and this is very helpful, thank you.
@Anonymous Stew should i buy trs balanced 6.35mm to trs 6.5 balanced ,,,,becuz i got presonus eris 3.5 and audio inter face...should i buy cables will it improve my quality
@Anonymous Stew i mean do sound odf studio moniters
change with audio interface aand without audio interface
What is the difference between balanced or unbalanced?
Balanced audio uses three conductors to carry the audio signal. Two of the conductors carry negative and positive signals (audio is an AC signal), and the third is used for grounding. With an unbalanced signal, there are only two conductors. One carries positive, the carries negative and is also used for ground. The advantage of a balanced signal is that because the ground is seperate from the negative conductor, there is less chance that radio frequency interferance will get into the audio signal.
Generally, +4 db, balanced signal are the way to go for long cable runs. The high gain and isolated ground make for a cleaner, noise-free signal. If cable runs are shorter, there should be no problem with RF interferance or noise on unbalanced, -10 db signals. If you have RF problems in your studio, you probably have some kind of ground fault, and it's a good idea to have it checked out by an electrician. Typical studios have both +4 and -10 db gear, so the important thing there is to make sure gain stages match all the way through the signal chain. The biggest cause of noise and distortion in audio is mismatched gain.
Thanks Matthew. I saw that sign on your door which says "Never Give Up." That inspired me today. You're doing great work. Keep it up!
needed a guide for that exact speaker and DAC combo. nice.
Thank you so much for that video, I completely forgot I’d bought the cables to connect the speakers to my audio interface, I couldn’t work out why I wasn’t getting any sound.
School boy error.
Thank you once again ! I just need a fresh reminder on how to daisy chain rca to quarter inch and how to maybe quickly troubeshoot that. Thank you !
I'm connecting a PreSonus Studio 26 to some Eris 3.5 studio monitor speakers. Looks like I need some Hosa balanced TRS audio cables. This video helped me make my shopping list. Thank you!
I bought a few sets of them and they seem to work pretty well and give a good connection. Glad the video helped.
Thanks for videos Matthew they are simple , concise and easy to follow. Just setting up my home studio and your instructions have been just what I need. 👍
Awe! Glad it helped. Have fun!
so many mistake i made. i though speakers goes in input, i always do that mistake. and did'nt watched for balanced/unbalanced. that was a great tutorial, but the end is technical and i sould appreciate to have more details, especially when it comes to purchase cables. i have monitors speaker that never worked because the cable isn't compatible with the system.
Strangely enough I am currently building myself a second mini work-station for which I have bought the Focusright Scarlett and the Rocket G5s.
Right on.
Learnt about balanced and unbalanced, thank you
You got my head and my cables straightened out, I really appreciate it I was getting pretty myopic
Great video very helpful I didn’t know the difference between unbalanced and balanced. But on the older versions of the Scarlett solo they only have unbalanced outputs
Thank you for this. I assumed my 2i2 would work this easily, but I was not sure. I am getting the feeling the Rockit 4's are not as good and I need the 5's.
Check out the Yamaha HS series and the 2i2 is just as easy.
Thanks Matthew,I had the guitar cables plugged in, what a change with your video again thank you very much greetings from gijon spain
Can I just use the Aux-in or will that damage my studio monitors?
Thank you for this excellent content & education... I am going to work on recording out of my PA directly to my Macbook Pro. Any suggestions would be so appreciated! Looking forward to your awesome content!
Thanks for this brother, the internet is a wonderful place!
No doubt! Glad it helped.
Thank you for keeping this simple
I just got studio monitors and when I got everything hooked up, I got this awful crackling, electrical interference. When I played my guitar or keyboard, I could hear them but still got the interference. I learned that this is actually a common issue with a custom built computer. The usb cable transfers the sound from inside the computer to the speakers. I found something called IDefender that actually cancels the ground loop which causes the interference. I ordered it and it's supposed to be in today. I'm really hoping this solves my problem. I'm ready to do some recording again.
can u use one studio speaker or
do you have to use two speakers ?
best video for showing exactly how to use it
Thank you, Matthew.
I may just be confused and uneducated on MIDI controlled audio devices that can be used with two balanced studio monitors, but never the less, I've had my KRKS for over 6 months (Connected with unbalanced cables) and up until now, I could not figure out how to set both up with balanced cables. Currently using Scarlett Solo which only allows one balanced connection. (Upgrading to Scarlett 2i2 right now on amazon.) (PS. you should make an affiliate link!) Again, Thank you man. I hope your channel continues to grow and I wish you the best of in life.
Amazon says the Scarlett Solo has 2 balanced inputs
Scarlett Solo has 2 balanced outputs, which are just like shown on the video. However, it's important to remember that TRS 1/4" cables carry stereo signal. You can output a mono signal to each of the two speakers in stereo from a single TRS out if you use a Y-splitter cable, if you ever have the need.
Thanks bro. Wifey got me sum new rokit k5's for my bday. Just need the trs cables
Nice 👍
Great explanation of balanced vs unbalanced - thanks!. I have a semi-related question: I have a Scarlett Solo and use it to connect my guitar to my PC for use with Amplitube 4. I am getting tired of having to use headphones while playing (I rarely record - I just like to play using the amp variety and options in Amplitube). I would like to know if I can use studio monitors while playing (BTW - I do not play loud - usually.... ;). Can I use monitors (instead of headphones) and if so, are there any you recommend (under $300 for the pair)? Thanks!
Yes, you can. It's how i have been playing bass. Though idk of a good sub 300$ pair, as it'a hard to find such things. I guess any monitor with a 5 or 6 inch sub would work great with eletric guitar.
Hopefully tomorrow when my jack adapter arrives, I'll be all singing all dancing 🕺🏿
Glad I watched this before buying my first speakers
thank you very much, you make me understand every single thing about my monitors/interface, luckly for me, i have the behringer umc22 and those have tra outputs, so i will need normal cable for those, but i wonder what would i need for my tv if i want to plug them there
Will definitely help i can hook up my line 6 pod go to the my studio monos or the interface
dude so helpful and made it so much easier to understand! thanks so much for the video appreciate your effort into it!
Glad it helped!
Thanks. 🤗 I have a pair of Klipsch RP-500Ms that I'm repurposing. This is exactly what I thought I had to do! Now to find the right amp.
Very useful, clear and concise. Do you have any solutions to stop the Rokit 5's auto shutting down?
Very specific instruction. Thanks.
You're welcome. I tried to be a clear as possible and present accurate information.
Thank you very much! This Video was very helpful and very good explanation.
Well done and very easy to understand.
Thanks
Hey Mathew you are awesome man, thanks for making this video as I was needing help on what to buy and how to connect my MK3 to some monitors and the device to use. Your video rocks ! from Los Angeles, Thanks buddy!
Very good tutorial Thank you,
You are welcome
Thank you so much man, this video was really helpful to help me know what to get and how to set up. you were very clear on what to do and i never felt like you were just waffling
Glad it helped!
@@MatthewStratton yea it did, thanks again man and keep the videos coming, you’re helping a lot of people with educational and entertaining videos
Dude you seem a very nice guy and I appreciate your help cuz you know more about home studio stuff than I do despite me being already middle aged I'm from the old guard of musicians when we did not have Home Studios but are you so "weak" that you need a "Never Give Up" sign on your door? Take it off and put a "Obstacles Are Made to Be Overcome" sign instead. Cheerio. Mike.
I have another poster that says "Dreams don't work unless you do". Never give up can mean multiple things, but the main meaning is Never Give Up on your passion (in this case making music).
@@MatthewStratton Never give up can mean never give u on your dreams. Its a positive not a negative.
And never give up is the same as your Obstacles Are Made to Be Overcome.
Could I take a feed from my mixing desk into an interface and take the output from the interface back into the mixing desk? I want to use it for Zoom/Teams in a large hall and be able to hear people on the zoom call passed to the hall and speakers in the hall to be heard on the zoom call?
Thanks for your videos which are very helpful
Wow. Spectacular explaining/clarifying skills. Thank you very much
Very well explained, it helped a lot. Thank you Matthew and all the best
Thanks for all these information! You answered all questions I had 😅
Thank you! What do you mean by “make sure the drivers are installed in the computer”?
I would love to see a video about using your mixer, specifically how and when to use Control Room outputs vs Main outputs!
excellent video! Thank you! , I would like to ask you if the length of the balanced cable affects the audio quality? I have 2.5 meters of balanced cable and it seems very long for the distance I have of 0.50 centimeters. If I cut it, can it affect the audio quality? Or is it not advisable to cut it?
Hello, thank you so much for the explanation, while to connect the sound card to a digital pedalboard (in my case I have a Nux mg300) which has only one input and output how should I do?
Thanks man! You did a good job of clearly explaining everything.
I really needed this...thank you so much...very helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video but my question is. Can I connect focusride to my hartke bass amp? If so, where should I connect it? I can't find any video explaining how to do it.
Helpful thanks.
Firstly very nice video, Secondly. I have an audio interface from the mixer in my pc can i use another audio interface from the mixer in my passive speakers and can i put the usb kabel in a socket to power my speakers? Please answer!
Very good sir,, watching here from philippines,,,
just got off the phone with my sales guy about this, I had no idea!
Right on. Did you get them set up?
Hey Matthew! I’ve noticed in the background you have a Boss RC-505… could you by any chance please explain how to add that machine into the set up? Not too sure where in the chain to put it! Thanks!
Don't get me wrong, you answered my questions, but I might be too smart for these tutorials I feel like this could've been explained adequately in 2-3 sentences.
Thanks for the detailed info Matthew. Subscribed as well, so looking forward to learn more. Just started setting up my home studio. See you soon
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks heaps for your video it cleared some questions I had
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.
This video will help a lot of people. Good on you bruh.
Appreciate you.
You just got a sub from me. I needed to know the names of the cables you were using. Thanks so much, bro ✊🏿
No problem 👍
Thanks for this video! What would happen if I use unbalanced cables? Is dangerous for the product?
My speakers are broken and I wanted to buy new ones... so since I make a little bit of music producition (just as a hobby) I thought I am going to buy some studio monitors.
Dumb questions:
1. Are studio monitors (in general) also good for listening to music and gaming?
2. Are there any known issues for the USB connection from Audio Interface to computer? (eg. PC not starting when the USB cable is plugged in the computer? I know this problem with my headphone amplifier...)
You're that scientist guy from Independence Day!
I would like to know we can't use Bluetooth speaker to hear ourself? Thank you for your clear explanation
ok so i downloaded the user manual of the subwoofer, and jack outputs from the audio interfaces goes to jack input from the subwoofer. then i need different cables, because subwoofer output are only xlr, as left and right monitor speakers. but still don't know if the cables will matche the "balanced" attribute of the system. this is the trickist part of the procedure i guess. i will watch again your video to see if it helps. i downloaded the audio interface manual and output is actually balanced. but in french we say "symetrical" instead, and that's super-confusing 😂
Is there any advantage/difference in using a XLR cable instead of a jack one ?
Want to know this too
Same
Great info
Great explanation, i was planing to do something but is being difficult to find if is possible, for example, can i connect 2 studio monitors and Sound Blasterx katana v2 all together?
perfect explanation, simple but thorough, thanks for sharing :D
This was so helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, query: can I use this audio interface to connect a xone 22 mixer and two dvs discs to traktor ?! Thanks
Thank you for your video!
Can you tell me what's wrong with my speakers? They do not work :( i tried everything
Great video...answered all my questions !
Hey Matthew, love your video would this be a good option for me if I wanted to hear my DJ sets through my krk speakers or would another option be best ??
Thanks bro 🙏.i have one question ?which one is better to home Studio for voice between two interface focusrite solo 3rd gen & 2i2 3rd gen ? I'm waiting for your help bro😊🙏thanks so much 😊
Can you create a video with the KRK ROKIT 10-3 G4 with L & R Sub woofers for Studio? Thanks. Great work awesome videos Very informative
Thank you for review!
This is so helpful! thanks man!
Glad it helped!
Hello, i have the Uphoria um2, and i want to buy the rokit5, do the monitors sound worse with the RCA cable? Should i change my interface?? Thankss
good vid, but you should make all of your connections and then plug in the input. I've been watching all these vids about audio processors for computer-studio monitors, but it doesn't make sense to invest this much money for what it is. You can just buy a DJ amp or even a home audio pre-amp and run either passive speakers or active speakers, respectively, for similar cost and be able to get higher power, quality, and can expand later. Unless, you are traveling.
Thanks so much, Matthew! That was great!
Very helpful I have a genos keyboard and a audio interface and rokit is there a tutorial on this please
