M-Audio AIR 192|4 | 2-In 2-Out USB Audio Interface with Recording Software from ProTools & Ableton Live, Plus Studio-Grade FX & Virtual Instruments

If you're into recording section then this is not for you because dynamic range for recording vocals of this interface has way lesser than others. You have to almost dialed it upto knob 90% to get stuffiest amount of gain for recording and at this level you will start hear very audible noise which is not great for recording so i would suggest go other interface like arturia or audient or focusrite interface which provide much more value than this.DONT BUY THIS(Ultra crystal preamps is joke)

Ok

The media could not be loaded.  Song quality also good... I got to use product

I am getting very louder output from my Mac mini (2014) through my Yamaha HS8. While watching movies I hear intermittent clipping, especially during the “entering the black hole scene” form Interstellar, which had the maximum bass (low-end) frequency. I tried every possible way to fix it. Replaced the interface. And the cables… LOL… then,I found this on M-audio troubleshooting website that said:“The AIR Series interfaces were designed with a slightly hotter output than your garden variety audio interface. If you are experiencing unwanted audio artifacts in your output when setting the USB/Direct knob all the way to USB, simply back the knob away from USB slightly to give your signal more headroom.”Another VERY IMPORTANT thing! Also, you need to decrease the system volume to 20% and best to keep it at 80% on Mac. It indeed gives "HOT" output. Now I get it!!! The Bass sounds a little bit distorted and not very cool. When I decreased the volume to 20% on VLC or iTunes or Safari or whatever. Now everything sounds PERFECT and COOL.

Perfect Noise cancellation, crisp vocals

Everything Works nicely but if you have AMD processor in your cpu then some glitches and pops can occur when you are listening

Whoever is buying this for ProTools | First and Eleven Lite plugin, please note that it's discontinued by Avid. Instead M-Audio is shipping a free DAW MPC Beats and some free plugins. Otherwise the hardware is solid and is bang for the buck. But if your requirement is for a good software bundle then look elsewhere. Maybe Audient ID4 or Presonus Studio 24c.

+ Compatibilità Mac piena e diretta;+ Bella fattura dell’oggetto solido dal bel design pensato all’utilizzatore;+ Qualità audio e pre-amplificatori;+ Disposizione xlr e trs convenientemente sul retro+ Ingressi dedicati chitarra e basso, sul fronte;+/ - - M-Audio Support esiste MA…. Esiste (anche per l’Europa) e funziona (!) se riuscite a capire come accedervi ( Più Sotto l’arcano è svelato);+/- Manuale anche in Italiano piuttosto dettagliato ma che non mi ha fugato alcuni dubbi;+ Possibilità di scaricare software audio, previa registrazione del sito, non solo versioni lite di daw.Lo ricomprerei.Devo dire invero che avevo effettuato un reso del prodotto (fortunato chi l’ha acquistata a prezzo di usato) perché subito pensavo che gli output 3-4 non funzionassero. A queste Uscite di linea 3 e 4 (non principali) avevo collegato un ampli per cuffie, caso contemplato peraltro su uno schema dal manuale. Dal Manuale: Uscite (3–4): servirsi di cavi TRS standard da 1/4” (6,35 mm) per collegare queste uscite di linea a un amplificatore cuffie, processori di segnale esterni quali un compressore, ecc. I relativi livelli sono automaticamente +4 dBu. 
Inoltre :"Selettore fonte cuffia: questi interruttori selezionano quali uscite (a livello del pannello posteriore) vengono inoltre inviate alle uscite cuffie: Uscite Main 1–2 (1/2) o Uscite 3–4 (3/4)". 
Ma non riuscivo a sentire niente.Dopo aver contattato “esperti amazon” che comunque non ne potevano sapere più di me e secondariamente desistito dall’ aprire un ticket a M-Audio in quanto mi si chiedeva la registrazione online del prodotto, e temevo problemi per un’eventuale restituzione, allora ho optato per il reso direttamente ad Amazon, richiedendo però lo stesso prodotto.Avendo provato il secondo prodotto il comportamento era similare alla scheda precedente pertanto dovevo capire cosa c’era di sbagliato. Un difetto generalizzato, una mia mancata comprensione sul set up, una poca chiarezza del manuale?.SUPPORT M-AUDIO:(Ovviamente in Inglese ma non è questo il problema).Ho registrato così il prodotto e però secondariamente per richiedere Supporto sul sito in di M-Audio veniva chiesto un fantomatico Support Code.Ho perso una mezzora buona per capire come ottenerlo o dove cercarlo, sia fisicamente (scatola o documentazione) che online, da una pagina all’altra in loop…, ma del Support Code neanche l’ombra. (Procedure nebulosa). Pertanto per sfinimento ho riempito lo spazio di compilazione obbligatoria Support Code con una lettera a caso della tastiera e… ha funzionato: mi ha risposto il Support Europe dagli UK!Risposta:” You need to setup the 3+4 output in your DAW by adding in the I/O hardware setup or by adding it manually into Audio/Midi setup”.Pertanto per ascoltare musica fuori dalla Daw bisogna utilizzare le cuffie posizionate sul frontale, mentre per il segnale in uscita dalle uscite aux esce il segnale configurato in Daw.Inoltre, quando dalla knob centrale abbasso il volume dei monitor (usando tipo Logic), posso sentirlo dalle Uscite 3-4 in quanto questo segnale non ne è influenzato.Diciamo che il Manuale, piuttosto dettagliato, poteva essere però scritto senz’altro più chiaramente specie riguardo a quest’aspetto.L’accesso al Support deve essere senz’altro migliorata.Il prodotto nel complesso è un’ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.-----Excellent value for money-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Full and direct Mac compatibility;+ Beautifully designed solid object design designed for the user;+ Audio quality and pre-amplifiers;+ Conveniently xlr and trs layout on the back+ Dedicated guitar and bass inputs on the front;+/ - - M-Audio Support exists BUT.....It exists (also for Europe) and it works (!) if you can understand how to access it ( More Below the arcane is revealed);+/- Manual also in Italian rather detailed but that has not dispelled all my doubts;+ Possibility to download audio software after registration, not only lite versions of daw.+/- Manual also in Italian rather detailed but that has not escaped me some doubts;+ Possibility to download audio software, after registration of the site, not only lite versions of daw.I would buy it again.I must say indeed that I had made a return of the product (lucky who bought it at used price) because I immediately thought that the 3-4 outputs did not work. To these Line Outputs 3 and 4 (non-mainstream) I had connected a headphone amplifier, a case that is also covered on a diagram in the manual. From the manual: "Outputs (3-4): Use standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these line outputs to a headphone amplifier, external signal processors such as a compressor, etc. Their levels are automatically +4 dBu". 
In addition :"Headphone source switch: These switches select which outputs (at rear panel level) are also sent to the headphone outputs: Main outputs 1-2 (1/2) or Outputs 3-4 (3/4)". 
But I couldn't hear anything.After contacting "amazon experts" who could not know any more about it than I could, and secondly desisting from opening a ticket to M-Audio because I was asked to register the product online, and I feared problems for a possible return, I opted to return it directly to Amazon, but requested the same product.Having tried the second product the behavior was similar to the previous card so I had to understand what was wrong.A generalized defect, a lack of understanding about the set up, a lack of clarity in the manual?M-AUDIO SUPPORT:(Obviously in English but this is not the problem).I registered the product but for support on the M-Audio website I was asked for a phantom Support Code.I lost a good half hour to understand how to get it or where to look for it, both physically (box or documentation) and online, from one page to another in loop..., but not even a trace of the Support Code. (Nebulous procedures). Therefore for exhaustion I filled the requested Support Code space with a random letter on the keyboard and... it worked: the Support from UK answered me!Answer:" You need to setup the 3+4 output in your DAW by adding in the I/O hardware setup or by adding it manually into Audio/Midi setup".Therefore, to listen to music outside of Daw you must use the headphones located on the front, while the aux outputs (3-4) output signal comes out the signal configured in Daw.Also, when I lower the monitor volume from the center knob (a.e using Logic), I can hear it from Outputs 3-4 as this signal is not affected.Let's say that the Manual, rather detailed, could have been written more clearly, especially about this aspect.The access to Support must be improved.The product as a whole is an excellent value for money.

Via USB gevoed, inpluggen en het werkt meteen. Gebruik 'm nu twee jaar vrnl. met een hoofdtelefoon, met Reaper als DAW en Prodipe phantom powered mics (beiden ook erg fijn). Werkt probleemloos, ook vwb MIDI waarover ik velocity binnenhaal van een M-Audio voetpedaal + adapter. Kortom, prettig ding.

Por el precio que tiene merece muchísimo la pena para cualquier home studio. Especialmente si vas a grabar varias pistas simultáneas o ensayos, maquetas de una banda. Construcción robusta. Los potenciometros de plástico pero con buena sensación al giro. A destacar las dos salidas de auriculares independientes, cada una con interruptores individuales para monitorizar las salidas (1-2, 3-4). 4 salidas muy útiles para actuaciones en directo para monitorizar salidas al margen de la principal (1-2). Selectores de phantom power por binomios para entradas 1-2 y 3-4.Sin necesidad de drivers para MAC (conectar directamente y la reconoce el MAC). A destacar que lleva todo el cableado necesario incluyendo los cables midi.Si llevara conexion ADAT sería perfecta. Por ese precio y número de prestaciones, creo que es una compra excelente

💬 RESUMEN: Buena tarjeta que seguramente, es en esencia una M-Audio Duo ( que cuesta menos de la mitad) y te dan el mismo software. A no ser que necesites MIDI, te recomiendo la Duo. Dan muy buena calidad con guitarra y micro Si quieres ir más sobre seguro, la Air 192/6 es un buen cacharro.💬 POR SI TE APETECE LEER MÁSTengo la sensación de que no hay mucha diferencia entre este modelo con la Track Duo y la Air 192/6Hacen básicamente lo mismo, excepto que la Air lleva un interface MIDI y tiene una construcción más sólida. Pero no nos engañemos, que si la electrónica es la misma y conversión analógica digital también, son en esencia la misma tarjeta. Tengo un amigo que utiliza la Duo y no he notado mucha diferencia.Confieso que elegí este modelo siguiendo el razonamiento .."YSI" .. ¿Y si necesito usar dos micrófonos a la vez? ?Y si necesito una guitarra y una voz a la vez? ¿Y si necesito conectar un instrumento MIDI?La calidad, tanto para la entrada de línea como para la entrada micrófono, es bastante buena. Las grabaciones tienen cuerpo en ambos casos. Luego ya es cuestión de gustos personales.En mi caso particular, toco guitarra y bajo y no me puedo permitir amplificadores en la habitación. Ocupan demasiado espacio así que tengo que tirar de instrumentos virtuales con unos buenos altavoces.La Air 192/6 me da todo el hardware que necesito:✅ Un buen previo, que funciona sin pc✅ Dos entradas independientes✅ La latencia con Asio es baja✅ Alimentación por USBAhora bien. Como decía, siendo en esencia lo mismo, tenía la sensación de que el fabricante tendría algún detalle extra en el software con la gente que se gasta el doble de dinero. Mucho me temo que no es así.Entiendo que Avid no acepte más licencias ProTools gratis. No es culpa de M-Audio. La versión de Ableton Lite me parece bastante pobre, pero les concedo el mérito de darte un software útil con licencia. OJO, que no gratis porque estás pagando de más por la tarjeta.Ahora bien, lo de ReValver, por ejemplo, es de risa. Te dan un software gratis (que ya es gratis) 😂 y te dicen que te lo descargues. No entiendo qué ganamos los clientes de M-Audio. Es como si te vendo un portátil y te digo, puedes usar Chrome. Si lo voy a usar, tanto si te compro a ti el portátil, como si no.El resto de software no lo he podido probar, ni me interesa ya. La calidad de la tarjeta es buena, pero me siento un poco engañado con las licencias. Me compraré el Guitar Rig (que lo trae todo) y otro DAW gratuito, que hay muchos. No cambio la tarjeta por una Duo porque pagué el seguro. La calidad es buena y asumo el error de pensar que estaba pagando por un valor añadido, que no veo por ningún lado.
