In this video I compare the top 8 budget audio interfaces out there! I test the sound quality, microphone recordings, interface, knobs, usability, headphone level, and more. These are the best audio interfaces from 100 dollars to 200 dollars right now. And you can use this with Windows and Mac. These audio interfaces are the best selling and best quality for the price. Interfaces include the Focusrite Scarlett, Audient Evo 4, SSL 2, Universal Audio Volt 2 and 276, Arturia Minifuse 2, PreSonus Studio 24c, MOTU M2, and the Audient iD4. I even test the Scarlett Air, Volt Vintage, and SSL 4K recording modes so you can hear them side by side.

    Excellent video, better than all others I’ve seen.
    Keep up the great work!

  2. @raspillade6027 on October 26, 2024 at 10:11 pm

    Sterling H224?

  3. @metacob on October 26, 2024 at 10:19 pm

    Calling an audio feature "4K" really rubs me the wrong way and reminds me of extremely cheap cameras on amazon that have "4K" plastered all over them but record in 480p stretched to 1080p.

  4. @settledownliberace on October 26, 2024 at 10:20 pm

    Hey that’s Rundle Mtn. in the background!

    Great video btw

  5. @svensvensson8102 on October 26, 2024 at 10:20 pm

    There’s actually 2 "air" modes on the Scarlett. The first is the same as on gen3 and the second is new with harmonic distortion. I assume you tested the harmonic one? It’s also possible to set direct monitoring level in SW.

  6. @Nuriil on October 26, 2024 at 10:22 pm

    can I request the full song?

  7. @anujgupta4768 on October 26, 2024 at 10:24 pm

    What is the orange thing on your desk …??

  8. @Edwinvelez6923 on October 26, 2024 at 10:26 pm

    All shit sound the same

  9. @EOUNAOEVERDADE on October 26, 2024 at 10:26 pm

    Volt is the best one

  10. @MensGroomingAdvice on October 26, 2024 at 10:32 pm

    Super helpful video and impressive presentation quality and editing. I’m looking to get an AI to connect my Audio Technica condenser mic to my PC for YouTube content creation. I did buy a Behringer UMC22 2 years ago but never got it to work with Windows and now have to admit I need to buy a more up-to-date interface. Still not sure what software to record into – I can’t afford Premier Pro so am using Premier Rush and not sure if I can record straight into that. It didn’t seem helpful for me to research software yet until I can get my mic to work 🙁

  11. @egorkorbasov3422 on October 26, 2024 at 10:33 pm

    I will be using audio interface only for recording my voice with Shure SM7Db. What do you think of Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB ? or is it better to stick to Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB that you mentioned in the video?

  12. @bubz75 on October 26, 2024 at 10:34 pm

    Scarlet Preamp suits your vocal the best in my opinion Sanjay.
    Captures the lower frequency of your timbre .

    Then Motu & Volt close 2nd and 3rd.

    Great Demo / nice vocal 🎙️.
    EWF my favourite group. RIP 🧡Maurice White 💁🏾‍♂️

  13. @luisespinozazuloaga2389 on October 26, 2024 at 10:34 pm

    I didn’t knew the Volt2. Love the vintage mode.

  14. @VyacheKan on October 26, 2024 at 10:36 pm

    Hi, do you know of a PCIe card with USB-C support that can support DAC/AMP audio interface?

  15. @nextonetv.7672 on October 26, 2024 at 10:37 pm

    Which one more than others

  16. @ENJTHETRAVEL on October 26, 2024 at 10:39 pm

    I don’t like the input in the front. for this reason I love my ssl

  17. @emeraldeyes929 on October 26, 2024 at 10:40 pm

    Still using my Behringer umc202hd. It’s durable and long lasting.

  18. @kaarenpro on October 26, 2024 at 10:40 pm

    You look like Iranian singer called Arash😂

  19. @TatyanaTrifonova on October 26, 2024 at 10:42 pm

    Hey, in this video you have some pretty nice mic shield behind the Earthworks. Which one is it? And is it efficient in rejecting sound from the back? If there’s any link I’ll appreciate it 🙂 Thanks

  20. @Silvestian on October 26, 2024 at 10:43 pm

    Tell us who is better on VST & midi keyboard latency??? 🎉

  21. @jonte2343 on October 26, 2024 at 10:44 pm

    Do all these sever the two channels as 2 seperate imput devices on windows? If not, where do I find that?

  22. @brianhuxtable4026 on October 26, 2024 at 10:46 pm

    Must be the Earthworks mic, singing si sweet honestly cant nituce too much of a difference between any of the interfaces. They’re all good. Like the SSL & Volt.🙏🎙👍

  23. @VisionOfJoe on October 26, 2024 at 10:47 pm

    what interface is going to get the beyer dynamic studio monitors loud enough

  24. @abcbcd1834 on October 26, 2024 at 10:47 pm

    Bought my MOTU M4 two years ago. I absolutely love it. You and Julian Krause were the two main influences in me buying it – you with the practical real-life use reviews and JK with the nitty-gritty technical comparison. Between the two of you I think YouTube is the best place to find info on audio interfaces – and that’s not even 1/4 of the content/hardware you cover. Love your channel dude

  25. @joafus on October 26, 2024 at 10:48 pm

    It Would be cool if you do blind sound testing for a more “scientific” evaluation, like invite somenone who changes the same recordong at random and you have to guess what Interface you prefere

    Also you can ask people in a blind test and another day upload the results

  26. @jirikraemer757 on October 26, 2024 at 10:48 pm

    Do you get also good software package with UA Volt?

  27. @MarianLake on October 26, 2024 at 10:48 pm

    Like if you are watching this on September 🙂

  28. @furen6342 on October 26, 2024 at 10:49 pm

    Hello I will build a pc at the end of this years and I got a little budget spare so I wonder should I buy Audio interface
    – I don’t do music mix up or recording my voice in someway
    I want to know if the music I hear from streaming platform will be better or not. Thanks for answering in advance.

  29. @deadbabyjokes5319 on October 26, 2024 at 10:49 pm

    The guy of the music store dont suggest me the motu . But i keep seeing people saying it is the best option

  30. @chrish4nsen on October 26, 2024 at 10:49 pm

    Plz link the foam lil "sound booth" around your mic plz. Thx in advance!

  31. @ryanjones4150 on October 26, 2024 at 10:50 pm

    Your videos are so professional and well done. Just got a powerful computer for music making, a Lenovo P520 with 64G of RAM. Coupled with the awesome 27" gaming monitor I just got on Amazon Prime Day, and I’m ready to go. Except, The audio interface I have is 10 years old and can’t find a driver for it. Gonna get one of these, not sure which one yet.

  32. @GabrieleSantoro on October 26, 2024 at 10:50 pm

    Hi, do you thing a 3rd gen Scarlett 2i2 is still a good choice? 110 euros

  33. @marshwetland3808 on October 26, 2024 at 10:50 pm

    What is the purple thing you are singing into?

  34. @excellentshow2314 on October 26, 2024 at 10:51 pm

    Tascam u s 366 usb 2.0 how about it please tel me?

  35. @thebluerook6972 on October 26, 2024 at 10:52 pm

    Does the USB connection on these interfaces just provide power or do they also send ‘data’ (audio signal) to the interface? Do I need to use a 1/4"/XLR/mic connector to get sound into the interface? Can I connect my computer using USB and then use 1/4" outputs for powered studio monitors? Thank you for your time.

  36. @SoyGuss_ on October 26, 2024 at 10:53 pm

    You can’t just drop a remix like that and pretend we didn’t want a full version 😭

  37. @JasonXBeats on October 26, 2024 at 10:53 pm

    Where did though get that microphone shield at the beginning of the video?

  38. @justinwatson2339 on October 26, 2024 at 10:53 pm

  39. @cdwoods365 on October 26, 2024 at 10:53 pm

    very informative. Thank you so much for your presentation and analysis. Very helpful.

    Helpful interview with great video, lighting, color, and audio quality.

  43. @Kyletran0202 on October 26, 2024 at 10:56 pm

    10:23 the volts 2 does have monitor control, no?

  44. @GoodMoney100 on October 26, 2024 at 10:58 pm

    I like the AIR Scarlett sound with the extra drive. A simple EQ in garageband and it sounds unbelievably more amazing than I thought it would. I didn’t have any big expectations because this is cheap to me. but to my surprise it’s what I’m using over more expensive interfaces.

  45. @eartraffic on October 26, 2024 at 11:01 pm

    Great video. M AKAI EIE pro does not work with my mac any longer. Why they never made a driver for updates is beyond me. I need a new one with MIDI in and out and your video showed what I need to make a decision AND see which ones have this feature. All should. My opinion. Now… its just figuring out which one works for me best and has the best headphone out.

  46. @Jerikco on October 26, 2024 at 11:02 pm

    Im still rocking the m-audio fast track mk2 😂

  47. @Kikobeku on October 26, 2024 at 11:05 pm

    Lmao its acc the 21st Night of September

  48. @wkelly-hn4kb on October 26, 2024 at 11:06 pm

    They all sound great …couldn’t hear a difference .i like the sound of AUTOMATIC everything. They know whats right ..

  49. @GoodMoney100 on October 26, 2024 at 11:07 pm

    I’m making the best music of my life with the Scarlett 2i2 4th gen.

  50. @arnavnm29 on October 26, 2024 at 11:09 pm
