[reedereed]

Just copped the older version with the turntable inputs in pristine condition. About to hook this joint up now. I was looking for some feedback and of course...here you go!!! You seem to review everything I’m about to purchase bro! LOL Great review as always...

Great review thank you and if l heard you correctly l can have both sets of monitors on at the same time?

How do I use the the cue function successfully on Pro tools? Successfully as in be able to talk to the talent with the built in mic on the big knob. Thank you

[sadmanxanatema]

hello, the card can mix the basic voice volumes without necessarily using the pc for mixing?

[PoliPopo]

Man thanks for sharing that can definitely come in handy. How is Germany man good to see you made it back safe

[johnburris]

Don't need the interface connection I just need to headphone amps and speaker controlling and switching can I use that that way without using the USB and can you run two sets of speakers simultaneously as well as independently could you please let me know thank you

Hello. Thanks for the video! I have a question regarding the Combo Imputs: Can you only hook mics or instruments on those? I want to but this Makie Big Knob Studio for a home audio System where i want to hook up 3 sources: PC, TV, and Record player. Will that work? Thanks a lot!

[AveMcree]

Currently at guitar center about to buy this.

[johnburris]

Can you please answer a question for me can you just use Mackie big knob that you're showing . For monitor switching volume control. And if you do use it that way and not use the interface do the indicator lights don't work and can you use a and b speakers at the same time

[Patriots]

is there anyway you can connect this to an interface or do you have to use it as an interface ?

[tengoodquestions]

I already bought an audio interface but I also want to be able to switch between monitors for -

A - when I produce i want to use my mains and reference ones.

B - I want to use my second pair for Djing

Is this possible?

[LowCMusiq]

Great video! Quick question. How is the built-in Talkback routed? Is there a way to output it through the 2-Track outputs? I don't want to send monitoring to musicians through the Headphone outputs. Thanks!

[EJR]

How did you mean input your phone to the 3/4 1/8” input?

Audient Nero Desktop Monitor Controller

Is this better?

I have the focusrite 2i2 + big knob passive but im considering to sell them and buy the big knob studio. I heard some people (also in the commets here) talking that after some time (months or few years ) it didnt work well and several problems appeard. For example that the device emits soooo much heat and the heat is the mayor electronics killer. Also the guy from "in ther mix" wrote that after 6 months of use the inputs and headphone outputs have become very noisy and coloured . And other pleople had other complains. What do you think after months of using it? Should i rather stick to my focusrite and Big Knob Passive ? Please LMK. Thanks

Do you know if I can plug a Line 6 UX1 into the 3/4 inputs and rout it to the monitors so I don't have to the monitor cables between the UX1 and another soundcard?

[jdmprelude]

How do u connect this all with 2 sets of monitors. Plus being able run it with your sub woofer. On both sets

[rgl]

What’s 2-track for and how can I record ? I like to record from my DJ setup / mixer / turntable. Can I do that with this mackie with an Programm???
