I'd like to see a serious review (like from PC Magazine) of the reliability of the data transfer of USB hubs. Like he said in the video, I've heard these things can fail while transferring files, which is just unacceptable for any business.
I found this to be a really informative video. Because I was wondering what the benefits of a powered hub would be for me along with anything else I would need to know to choose a high powered hub. Which it covers in detail. I wondered why it got so many thumbs down though.
Thank you!! This is literally exactly the information I was looking for. But I have a question, anyone who sees this please answer. I actually bought one of the two port MacBook Pros for music production. Is a hub going to work to connect a midi controller? I've been very frustrated trying to set up a home studio.
Yes but the Hub can run out of power if you don’t always use it plugged into a outlet along with your computer making the performance of your midi’s and interfaces (audio boxes) distort and create white noise in my instance.
@@calebvalentinegonzales2986 I was looking for an answer like this, I was wondering why my midi controllers were acting up when I hooked it up to a usb hub.
@@saulisabel1670 if it still is distorting (making popping noises) then you can turn your virtual instrument tracks into audio form. I’ll find the video for you th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxIK49djsdNage-9syr7EVeGnsBAsKaN6h
spot on m8.I had a problem with my controller skipping the music and it was because of the usb cheap hub not getting enough power to the controller changed it no issues now.
Say you want to plug in multiple midi devices into one of these. Will ableton recognize those devices individually? I have a macbook pro and I'm trying to work around the 2 usb port thing.
Powerrrrr lol I loved the Clarkson reference. So would I be best to use a powered USB Hub to put less strain on my laptop's internal power supply for my Audio Interface and my DJ mixer, which are both USB-powered only and kills the battery fast but I've only had to run it on battery a handful of times. I only use one or the other for audio output to my stereo, or would putting them on a switched powered USB hub add more latency?
Regarding USB, I am unable to use Ableton as it shuts down all my USB ports. I contacted support at Ableton.com and Novation as it came with my Midi but got stuff all help there. Have you run into this issue?
I'm going to use this for music production to plug in external instruments. This thing is not usb type c so what other usb 3.0 to usb C adapter would you recommend so I can plug in this anker to my 2018 macbook pro?
why is it so hard for Companies to develop a reliable USB 3 hub? I just purchased an Anker USB 3.0 7-Port Hub, plugged it in and immediately got the blue screen of death. Driver didn't load correctly and i had to remove it from my PC to load windows again. Then i had to repair the USB driver. it's 2019... should there still be so many issues with these things, or is it just the over saturation of cheap Chinese products flooding the marketplace? any reviews i google just lead me right back to Amazon, which is where all of these reside.
This is why that I will be buying a Windows laptop rather than another MacBook Pro. I can get something with more USB3.0 ports onboard as well as more power for half the price of a MBPro.
i just done that and im very happy :) you can buy a MONSTER laptop for 1500 euros to use with ableton live (and the funny is you cant buy a macbook pro with the same power even at any price!)
"I only buy Anker" lol, Anker doesn't even make their own stuff. They just slap their logo onto Chinese no-brand stuff and sell it for triple the price.
Less coffee maybe? Given the 10 minutes you should show the things that you actually plug into the device and demonstrate them working. Otherwise this could have been 3 minutes or less. There's a lot of fluff in your video. Get to the point. Pros? Cons? However, I will probably look more closely at the Anker product...
a raccoon comes in and does what?!?! So some of this information sounds useful but the really random off the wall stuff makes me wonder if its accurate.
I use d-link usb hubs for my live acts, quality and stability... For Anker, i had a problem with usb charger plugs (plastic broken) so for the music....hum...no 😊
he did everything but tell us what type of product we should get. ok we need power, wtf do u mean by that??? 11 mins of pure rambling for that Adsense money. sheesh
You need POWEEEEEER on port number FOUUUUUR like a racoon maker sure you have enough POWEEEER like Jeremy Clarkson I hate computers port number FIIIIIIIVE. I used to think Chills narration was annoying but he has nothing on this.
Anyone that knows if I should get a powered USB hub? And is USB C important? Anyone? No? Really? You didn´t watch the video? Oh, what about brand name?? Am I writing this while still watching the video? Really? Guess where I am in the video now? Guess? Can I buy a useless hub? Can a USB hub break? Can we trust USB hubs?? Can we?
this is ridiculous,☺️. Go ANALOG, all the way , then copy to digital. I can understand if you’re playing virtual sampled instruments on pc or external midi. So let’s bow our heads and pray for the return of simplicity. Multi tracked for years and only touched the on and switch.
Take a shot everytime he says *POWER*
I don't want do DIE, thanks 😂
Tried it.. couldn’t make it to 2 minutes of the video 😂
Want a level to? Take another shot for Speed, fast and slow 😂😅

hey!!! no more drugs for you ok? all this nonsence 10 minutes videos are getting out of control...
10 minute videos make TH-cams more money for whatever reason that's why you see all these videos on simple things just slightly over 10 minutes
ahaha too funny man
That Anker hub is the exact one in my Amazon wish list. So now I feel even more confident in my choice than I did just reading the product reviews.
How is called this Anker hub?
I like your “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong” point of view!
There's a bunch of random links but not one to the usb hub - which is what this video is about. Confused.
Power? And isolation does it have it? Otherwise you could get a lot of ground loops etc
I found this to be a really informative video. Because I was wondering what the benefits of a powered hub would be for me along with anything else I would need to know to choose a high powered hub. Which it covers in detail. I wondered why it got so many thumbs down though.
Can I use a usb type A to usb type C converter cable with this hub without affecting its performance? I have a MacBook Pro with usb c ports only.
Are these things grounded or something? I mean I dont want annoying noises on my soundcard... Anyone experiences with that?
Been using the same hub for a while now. Really nice and powerful.
is it me, or could this review use a link to the product? and maybe less coffee for the guy doing the review?
would you still recommend plugging HDs and sound cards directly into the computer if your using a docking station instead of a dongle/hub
I need something like this but combined with the small type USB inputs for SSD drives.

Jim Croce yes Ableton will and other daws as well.

Looking for these today! That’s freaky.
I was going to buy this but the manual says it does not support some Midi Devices :S
why has this got so many dislikes lmao. it's simple and straight to the point lmao
For real!!
So, let me get this straight...power is important?
What about L A T E N C Y ?
This is my biggest question too
@@renzochi4551 latency is the same if not less. pretty crazy but true
can you make another video and talk more about POWAH!
What is the name of this hub
Regarding USB, I am unable to use Ableton as it shuts down all my USB ports.
I contacted support at Ableton.com and Novation as it came with my Midi but got stuff all help there.
Have you run into this issue?
Usb 2 hub is good for sound card, mic and midi controller?
What about USB C hub for my USB C Macbook ??!!
How many times does he say power?
the poweeer burns Ableton push 2
Time is precious
Noise floor?
this reminded me somehow of a rick n morty episode haha love it..
Haha! Agreed, this guy is great
I'm going to use this for music production to plug in external instruments. This thing is not usb type c so what other usb 3.0 to usb C adapter would you recommend so I can plug in this anker to my 2018 macbook pro?
hey! did you find any great usb c product for MacBook Pro 2018?
What up Kenji!

the old term ‘jive turkey’ comes to mind 🤔
Very informative
don't know why it's got so many dislikes, really enjoyed this video, funny and informative
How about DJS 1000 video too? Thanks
it's about power
What if you have two ports.... 13 inch Mac Pro
You could have done this is 2 min MAX
"How to choose a USB hub".......
......
"You cannot buy a good USB hub,they all break"
Raccoons sing better than me.
So you're saying I need a powered hub??? lol
a raccoon comes in and does what?!?! So some of this information sounds useful but the really random off the wall stuff makes me wonder if its accurate.
Don't drink or do drugs b4 filming your vids
Poweeerrrr 💥💥💥💥💥
you say power more times in a sentence than samuel l jackson says mother f'er and thats a lotttttt
That was unbearable. Just looking for a good USB hub ffs, not needing to listen to 11min of tweaker bs.
So how does your video have ANYTHING to do with the title? Clickbait.
Misleading title.
"POWAH"
Dong Goo
this was almost rick sanchez
Power Pooooower
I'll just use a "dong goo"
stop saying power please
Mo PowAAA!
I use d-link usb hubs for my live acts, quality and stability... For Anker, i had a problem with usb charger plugs (plastic broken) so for the music....hum...no 😊

That was excruciating...no more please.
I agreed had to jump around the video and he was still annoying, ugh.. I know calmer crack heads than him.. 🤣
You made me want to 🥃 ! You repeated everything but made no sense!
Big fire hazard leaving the cardboard bit on your plug, take it off dude

No model or any info on what one to get ..useless video!!!
Wow what a bad video. You showed us nothing... dude cmon

suuuuuper annoying dude.... I just got power :(
Annoying af!

Not to sound rude! but this dude is so annoying and I can't find another video with this info!!
In fact, do not watch this video he isn't providing anything more than what we already know!
