The manual says that constant green means you're not driving the interface hard enough. You want it green and occasionally flashing orange. You want to adjust the gain on the device so that it behaves this way. My experience with it shows that this works fine.
Thanks for the information. I didn't realize that was the case. Edit: you're right, I just had a look at the manual. Here is the exact words from the manual in case anyone is interested: "When your gain setting is optimal, the LED should alternate between GREEN and ORANGE while you play."
So what is the benefit of using say a scarlet DI compared to an Irig? Does the scarlet to better signal processing? Is there anything to be gained by buying a more expensive interface?
Thank you. I thought it came with the full version of Amplitude. How would you compare it with the iRig USB and the iRig HD X, both of which do use USB-C?
I don't have the iRig USB or the iRig HD X so I can't say. Going forward, I wouldn't buy any more budget audio interfaces. The next one will be a $500-$1,000 audio interface.

@@andrewreviewseverythingThanks. Does the HD 2 you reviewed at least include direct monitoring to record without latency?
@@carpediemearth It doesn't have a direct monitoring option, but I've never experienced latency with it ever.
So what's that red cable you're using there? Is it IK Multimedia branded? Did it come along with the iRig?
