Komplete Audio 6 looks sleek! Dual headphone out is such a saver and great additional feature! Sounds nice too with that Rode NT1! Smooth desk setup Accurate!
5 ปีที่แล้ว +1
I didn't receive any notification about this version. Just audio 1 and 2... This one looks superb and I'm definitely buying it!
Definitely a good interface, same goes with the Audio 2.. only thing I’ve noticed is that the headphone preamp is slightly lower compared to the focusrite.. need to crank it up a bit more.. or maybe it’s my hearing 🤷🏼♂️
Noice review . Clear concise and no BS .Update 1year l8tr. So after trying for the first time to record with a rode nt1a i found out that the KA6 has an inbuilt issue with phantom power and does not work , so i will be sending my ka6 back for a replacement. Really quite annoying good thing my local ratailer are champs an i can send it in for repair or return at no extra cost. Found out its quite a common problem an NI had admitted as much to me as well.
Nice one, thanks dude. Think I'll be getting an AI soon - keen to keep supporting the NI gear, a bit of a fanboy like yourself. Keep the good content coming
Question.. so you connect the maschine to your mixer, then your mixer to the audio interface?? So i would connect my maschine MK3 into the interface then the interface to the speakers? Or should i just plug and unplug the speakers when i go from Maschine to ableton?
I have my OP-1 runing to my Komplete Audio 6 MK2. The sound is going to the audio 6 headphone outs and the IN 1 & IN 2 lights are moving… but no audio is going to my speakers. I had the original Audio 6 and was able to run audio in from anything, like my iPhone to speakers very easily. Also, I have no issues sending Ableton sound to the Audio 6. Help!
This my honest opinion I heard a lot of interfaces throughout my years and this NI interface sounds really good it’s very loud,punchy,clean, this can hold up its own against a lot of the big name interfaces dont let the price fool you
Uuuhhhh i need IT.... Im a Maschinen User to and use a Steinberg Interface ...almost order the old model and than i see the new one and i have to get it. Thanks for review. 🙏🙏💚
Is there a function (in the software) to resample the stereo outs, so I can sample straight from TH-cam, Spotify etc into maschine? I think a hack would be a spdif to spdif cable and connect those ons and outs (without monitoring of course otherwise you get a feedback loop) but a native option would be great, as the third Gen scarlet have this option and I'm doubting between the 2 for that reason. Also how is the latency compared to the scarlett? Thank you.
I can't believe theyt removed the direct monitoring option that the earlier model had.. With this model monitoring is only possible through DAW which just sucks. I might have to go back to the old model. The price was also more expensive, for what?
Great looking interface, I have a behringer umc204hd but it's doesnt have clear level indicators and the master volume nob is small, I was looking to upgrade to m-audio air series but this particular one is kinda expensive I'd recommend anyone looking at this price range to get a mixer, look at MACKIE PROFX 10 V3 it's about the same price but offers way more inputs, fx, eq..
Hi friends, just a question…is it possible to connect 2 turntables Technics 1200 in order to play in timecode with Traktor 3? I don’t see the ground connector
Hey there, I have the same mk2 audio 6 however I can't get output 1 and 2 to make my studio monitors work. Headphones fine, then I found out that there is no direct monitoring unless you use a daw??? Geeez
Yo Accurate! Missed this video. I need a 4-input interface for my needs lately... looking at this one. How much difference, level-wise, do you hear between this and your Focusrite? Is it drastically different or not too bad? Thanks man!
will my mpcx plug into this. i use a focusrite at the moment which is powered with a plug. i want to remove the plug powered audio interface from my set up as its picking up white noise through the plug. i want a usb powered interface like this but need to know if i can run my mpc x into it
I have the previous KA6 MK1, interested to know how this handles the 4 outputs. I´m assuming you can simultaneously hook 2 sets of speakers at the same time? If so are you able to individually monitor these? I´d definitely consider upgrading it if that was the case.
Hi, nice quality video! Would you recommend this interface for a synth based setup with iPad? I need about 4 inputs and a midi interface is always welcomed! I was looking at Arturia Audiofuse but it’s way over my budget at this moment. Any tips very appreciated, thanks!
It s very bad at input latency....Try to record signal from one synth...and quantize it ...The metronom not coresponding...That with ASIO. In studio one the asio driver not shown in Device Manager...in WIndows. Also...monitor out only at headphones out...
Thanks Accurate!! I just bought...now forget the name because its really made by Midas who make high end desks..and its only these exact two that are made by them...other models ARE NOT so are well..bit rubbish but the behringer UMC 202 or 404 HD ...really top quality...but as stated ONLY those models are worth a look...(look up midas desks)..also it works with out computer as mixer and insane outs😉
Hey, i would really appreciate if you answered and solved my conflict! Komplete kontrol has their own audio interface right? So say i want to buy an maschine mk3 anyways, why should i bother buy both if the maschine can act as an audio interface? Can it be that their audio interface will perform or sound better than the mk3? I mean.. what will be the cons of using mk3 rather than using the audio onterface it self?
I haven't understood it yet, sorry. You don't (!) use Maschine's interface? Is that so bad?. You have then 2 interfaces on the desk. Maschine and Komplete Audio 6?
I own a 2i2 and a 18i20 and never had any problems with it. Sounds like something is collides with the drivers of the interface.I once had some troubles with a hum in my whole setup. I was able to eliminate that by using a power conditioner. Have you tried that yet?
Nice video man, I would like to ask you something. The sound card includes a version of traktor. Is it possible to use to route the four decks to a mixer using trs to RCA?
Hope they don't use the same crappy orange usb sockets they had on the Mark 1 which failed me rendering the machine bin fodder. I will now have to buy a new AI but reluctant to buy NI again.
Thanks for the review. Does this interface have a loopback feature where you can directly record and stream the audio coming from the daw or any music software like the steinberg ur series interfaces?
Did you find the answer to this yet? Super important for me too. You could do it the hardware way but if I can do it in the software, much better as it doesn't do a da/ad conversion.
Is that not the same sound card built into maschine MK3 , why would you use it with maschine MK3 when you already have it built in ? Don't get that logic don't get me wrong , it's great external sound card but MK3 is same spec 96 Hz ,24 bit , usb bus powered is fine but you do need mains adaptor sound card for more drive output on pa system
SInce I can't find this myself, I turn myself to all of you. I'm on the hunt for a audio interface with a USB-slot for "in" audio. I use a Rode NT usb for vocal recording, but need a new interface.. Is there any options for me or do I need get another mic with XLR outputs?? Thanks in advance! Love your videos btw!
This is a very strange question. You only need an interface to convert analog signals to digital (USB). If you have a USB microphone you can plug it directly into your PC/MAC, you don´t need any interface for that.
Who actually makes this hardware !???? it's impossible to find out in google! has anyone taken its apart? NI are NOT Hardware manufacturing company. I'm guessing focusrite??? I could always tell what M-audio interfaces were clones of but this is a weird one

I have the old version of Komplete Audio 6 and have always loved it, might look into replacing it at some point. Thanks for the review.
I pre-ordered mine last month. It definitely gets the job done 💯
Definitely a good interface, same goes with the Audio 2.. only thing I’ve noticed is that the headphone preamp is slightly lower compared to the focusrite.. need to crank it up a bit more.. or maybe it’s my hearing 🤷🏼♂️
Love your videos ! You inspired me to start making beats and I bought a mashine mk3 micro to start. Well done keep up the awesome videos !

thanks mate ...
Love the 2i6
I ordered one, it will arrive TODAY!
Simple. Thank you!
Looks cool thx for the info
Old vid but still useful for those of us who usually buy used stuff.
Seting it up is nice and easy
Nothing sounds more irritating than this when you've been trying to set your interface up for three months XD
Solid look. My Focusrite 2i4 is holding out ok. If it ever goes I'm looking at the Arturia Audiofuse. Great video, thanks.
Question.. so you connect the maschine to your mixer, then your mixer to the audio interface?? So i would connect my maschine MK3 into the interface then the interface to the speakers? Or should i just plug and unplug the speakers when i go from Maschine to ableton?

Also, I have no issues sending Ableton sound to the Audio 6.
Help!
I know this is costed very differently but I wonder how this compares with the Universal Audio Apollo Twin Duo MKii and Audient id14...
This my honest opinion I heard a lot of interfaces throughout my years and this NI interface sounds really good it’s very loud,punchy,clean, this can hold up its own against a lot of the big name interfaces dont let the price fool you
Do u know if your able to run 4 monitors at the same time on this interface??
you really pulled off the box spin on your head lolz
Underrated
How about the latency compare with 6i6
Uuuhhhh i need IT.... Im a Maschinen User to and use a Steinberg Interface ...almost order the old model and than i see the new one and i have to get it. Thanks for review. 🙏🙏💚

me too have problem with focusrite 2i2 after 3 years and 2 month recording is very low and statics are there bed unite the second one that do the same

Have you had any issues with monitoring?
I've been looking at this interface for a while. I want to get the KK a49, and this interface someday.
Hi friends, just a question…is it possible to connect 2 turntables Technics 1200 in order to play in timecode with Traktor 3? I don’t see the ground connector
Sir I am complete beginner. Will I be able to play the native audio interface? Will I face any problem?
Can you record a band with it and monitor with 4 different headphone mixes?
Yo Accurate what’s up bro! can you use this audio 6 to record vocals into pro tools?
I've just ordered one in Spring sale for £135
Hey there, I have the same mk2 audio 6 however I can't get output 1 and 2 to make my studio monitors work. Headphones fine, then I found out that there is no direct monitoring unless you use a daw??? Geeez
Which out put would i connect my monitor speakers to
Yo Accurate! Missed this video. I need a 4-input interface for my needs lately... looking at this one. How much difference, level-wise, do you hear between this and your Focusrite? Is it drastically different or not too bad? Thanks man!
Just watched a video earlier comparing the 2 and I think the level difference was around 10db
Accurate, what's the difference between the NEW Audio 6 & the old one, other than the re-design? m only asking, because I'm using the previous one....
I want to know too! It looks like same amount of Ins and outs, different software package, might be some differences in AD/DA and preamp/DI etc.
Nick Waterson 192 kHz vs the 96 on old is what stands out most to me
@@XanhDT89 Thanks man!!
will my mpcx plug into this. i use a focusrite at the moment which is powered with a plug. i want to remove the plug powered audio interface from my set up as its picking up white noise through the plug. i want a usb powered interface like this but need to know if i can run my mpc x into it
Hello how do you connect the komplete to your macbook ? Thunderbolt directly ?
I have the previous KA6 MK1, interested to know how this handles the 4 outputs. I´m assuming you can simultaneously hook 2 sets of speakers at the same time? If so are you able to individually monitor these? I´d definitely consider upgrading it if that was the case.
The MK1 is 3x as heavy build than the new one. The new one feels like a plastic toy and most of it is plastic. I would never buy that.
Did you ever figure this out?
Has this worked okay for you this last year? Any issues with it? Do you recommend this product?
Can it connect to Iphone?
Are u able to run 4 monitors out of this interface at the same time.
I can't even get my Monitors working through it from the outputs.
Is possible to plug in into this audio interface 2 condenser microphones at the same time? Can the phantom power support 2 mic?

How is the latency
4.5ms
It work also with 2 turntable for dvs mode?
Is there a difference in sound quality between Komplete audio 6 and the Focusrite?
1:56 Rode NT1A? lol!
its the Rode NT1.
good video. this might be the one. stay away from the sound blaster z for music production. i had them fix this card twice already
hello bonjour , pour vous , la focus est meilleur que la audio 6 ?

A shame on the missing audio compare... I was looking forward to that because I am looking to buy a Focurite just now
Buy audient instead
The million dollar question: On its own, will it work with the shure sm7b?
Can I connect this to my Tracktor z2 mixer and machine at once ??
Hi!! Can you tell why i would need the audio 6 rather than the audio 2? Thanks!!
can you plug a turntable ( phono out ) directly into the audio interface ?
I own a 2i2 and a 18i20 and never had any problems with it. Sounds like something is collides with the drivers of the interface.I once had some troubles with a hum in my whole setup. I was able to eliminate that by using a power conditioner. Have you tried that yet?
MC Serch?!
what cable do you recommend for connection rode procaster to Komplete Audio 6?
Nice video man, I would like to ask you something. The sound card includes a version of traktor. Is it possible to use to route the four decks to a mixer using trs to RCA?
Hope they don't use the same crappy orange usb sockets they had on the Mark 1 which failed me rendering the machine bin fodder. I will now have to buy a new AI but reluctant to buy NI again.

New one is 192
Thinking of selling my Duet 2 for this or even a Komplete audio 2 🧐
Sound quality wise it would be a downgrade I think.
Patrick Rimterakul The Duet converters are far superior! Duet is great if it has enough inputs for you!

Love Story in my next video! Or the one after that
@@AccurateBeats ...ok...promise...!?
Woolly comparative sound to other videos on TH-cam.
Odd considering the topic.
These devices are Komplete crap.
