About this deal

Desktop 1-in/2-out USB audio interface with class-leading 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion for Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone Note: Volt is bus powered when connected to ports that meet USB 2.0 specifications. However, some USB ports, such as those on low-quality hubs, don’t meet USB specs and cannot supply adequate bus power. If Volt doesn’t power on, connect Volt to external 5VDC power to compensate for the underpowered USB port. (18) 5VDC Power

Vintage preamp mode lets you capture guitar and vocals with the well-rounded, rich sound of an iconic UA tube preamp Hardware compressors remain a popular choice for many producers though, particularly in larger pro studios. Particularly in the higher-end, hardware compressors are still sought out for their distinctive character and hands-on workflow. Note: Install the hardware driver for low latency performance with audio creation, recording, and mixing apps. Set up Volt for audio software I/O on your Windows PCWhen enabled, direct monitoring slightly reduces the volume from your audio software so you can clearly hear your input signals. When direct monitoring is off, you may notice your inputs have latency (a slight delay) before they are heard, as a result of buffering and signal processing by the audio software.

Few sounds can compare to a vintage Universal Audio 610 tube preamp, as used to record everyone from Ray Charles to Van Halen. Volt 176 gives you the rich, full sound of this iconic UA preamp, thanks to its built-in tube emulation circuitry, a UA exclusive. Control Volume Peaks with UA Compression Practically, you could use a compressor to manage sharp, aggressive transients – like a more powerful note suddenly produced from an instrument or a vocalist – to create a more palatable listening experience. Simply decide on how many inputs you need to record simultaneously and whether you need more dynamic control with the addition of a built-in analog compression on the '76 versions. Press this button to toggle 48V phantom power at the XLR microphone input. The LED blinks red while phantom power is activating or powering off. The LED is lit solid red when phantom power is active. Connect Volt to your system using the included USB-A to USB-C cable, or another cable appropriate to your system, and power on Volt with its rear panel switch.Prepare for some serious fence-sitting. Put simply, there’s no such thing as a definitive ‘best’ compressor when it comes to vocal production (or many other use cases, for that matter). Different compressors will respond to different vocalists, genres and workflows in different ways, and no one design is always going to be the go-to in all situations.
