I like it when things are explained in a quick calm and logical manner. The goal is to educate .. and educate people quickly . you did just that . great video Thank you .

[yo_its_devo]

Thanks for the breakdown! You were the first one to clearly describe the pros and cons of each in a way that made me understand audio interface is the way I want to go.

You did a awesome job explaining because I was going to buy a mixer thinking I needed one but thank you

[maha]

Practical reasons for choosing one over the other. At last got some useful advice. You really make videos which actually saves from disaster . Thanks dear.

[Helix_Jac]

Thanks for the video, I have a mixer but I wanna make a home studio. This was super helpful

[Pebieforever]

New to song recording I already have the mixer I am contemplating between the two but I also need the effects of mixer during live singing. So thanks for this simple straight forward review. Now I know I choose the right one. I just thought before that interface would send better quality than the mixer. But I just need to put all my mixer effects down so I have more room to add delay and reverb

[marnelflor]

you saved my day bro. after a long hours looking for answer for what's the diff between the two, now i clearly understand.. Thanks :)

Perfect explanation of the mixer “ you cannot undo whatever you’ve captured/ created 😎🌺🌈🤙🏽

[Liftgymratt]

This is a great video. I was so frustrated on why ever video I watched people were able to adjust their mics independently of their audio. I'm using a behringer mixer, which sums everything together.

[guadalupe]

Thank you for this video, I had a lot of doubts about which one I need.

[MsRybak]

I wish I knew what your talking about half the time. Don’t get me wrong your very clear and precise but I don’t really know what your talking about or what Is best for my needs. God this market is frustrating.

[zadaakusaido]

Excellent video explaining the two devices. I was going to get a usb interface but it’s a usb mixer that I really need. Thanks!

[The-Perfect]

Thank you for such a clear and simple explanation.

[AceNirvana]

[kspec]
