Hey. Most steps should be the same…the difference will be setting the interface as your audio in and out. Find your settings and then go to sound settings and it should be there 👍
@@ChasingTheGoose In my headphones, sorry for late response. But it’s very important for me to use monitoring while recording. So I was wondering is it BandLab that’s causing the delay?
Hey, thanks for this clear and to-the-point video. I browsed through too many videos fattened with wordiness and fancy music and I continued to get confused as to what to buy to start my little home recording thing and BandLab. This worked. Thanks!
Hey, so my vocal recording has a clicking and I even turned off the meternome to see if that was the problem. I have a Shure SM 58 and the Presonus AudioBox
What kind of a clicking? Is it constant like a metronome or random? Is it only on loud sounds or all the time? If it's bandlab, how good is your internet? You might be better downloading Reaper or another DAW...
Thank you so much ,mate!🤘😎 Finally a video with everything 1would need for the complete process!I'm so bloody grateful And happy!! GetchaPull-Cheers 🤘😈🥃🍻
hi great tutorial..Im a beginner ..and I bought behringer 202 hd as my interface ..all my accessories are new but I got problem and I dont know how to fix it ...I use my guitar cable 1/4 trs to record using behringer connected on my bandlab apps mobile when I record theres no problem on the direct monitor, all is clean and no noise but when I finished record and play it, there was a noise interference blipping and clipping accompanying the guitar sounds, I tried some cable and I lower the gain control but I got the same outcome .. Please help me with this I want to star my music...
If this is soundlab then it might be internet issues. I'd download a DAW on to your computer....Logic or Ableton....Reaper if you don't have the money for the others
Goodnight brother. Firstly I want to say thanks for the detailed video, it's really helpful but I need to know why my mic stopped being picked up in Bandlab. I also don't see the levels raising at all when I hit record. I get no sound whatsoever when I recorded multiple tracks with this same mi, please help.🙏🙏🙏 I also notice that the interface is much different today than it was 3 years ago so I'm unable to follow these instructions 100% accurately.
if you're not seeing any levels...that's a sign that the signal isnt getting that far...are you on mac or pc? in your sound settings (not in the DAW) check that the interface is selected as your input. On a mac thats in settings and then sound...
While you are tracking or after you have recorded something? If it's while you are tracking some audio interfaces have 'direct monitoring'...if you can see that button press it. If you can't, just leave monitoring off and take a headphone off one ear. If it's after you have recorded, that kind of latency can be caused by buffering issues...it's trickier to fix, Bandlab has a built in 'latency test' which is meant to adjust for this but it's not available on all platforms...this is worth or try...or just get Reaper 😀th-cam.com/video/molB6HkrclE/w-d-xo.html

Did you get it working yet? My first piece of advice I give anyone who watched this video is....download Reaper instead. Bandlab is fairly rubbish and unless it's for school or solely for the collaboration options (not even worth it for that though really) I would get a different program. Reaper is a great place to start. Let me know if you can't get it working on Reaper. Nice one
@just another side hustle Hey I followed u all the way up until u said you were on a Mac and u had to make sure that it's set to focusrite Scarlett for the mic..u selected focusrite 2 times input and output..I am using a Samsung Galaxybook 2 pro 360 run by windows 11 I believe.how do I make sure my condenser mic is being utilized on my laptop?..I literally am so new to this and I just want to record my vocals thru import or making a beat in the bandlab studio. It's been a very frustrating go. That's why I'm using bandlab RN bc it's a lot more simple the pro DAWs. I'm going to try to switch to Ableton once I can make interface content with bandlab. Thank u
Hey. Most steps should be the same…the difference will be setting the interface as your audio in and out. Find your settings and then go to sound settings and it should be there...you want to set your interface as the input and output!!
@@ChasingTheGoose thank you for getting back to me so quickly. You are honestly the first person on TH-cam that has broken it down to me in a way that was simple and to the point.i know bandlab isn't a real daw but I gotta start somewhere..I've had the Scarlett 4i4 3rd generation for 6 months now and I've been working so hard to beable to create something with it..I was able to get my edifier speakers to run thru my Scarlett Wich I was happy about 😂😂...then I used bandlab to try to create any vocal recording with the Scarlett and i did it by mistake bc I couldn't figure it out again after that..I used the splitter tool that bandlab has now and imported a song of a band that inspired me and I was able to get the song into studio. I got shit from ppl on reddit for doing that but I don't give a fuck im learning this from scratch I have no recording experience and minimal computer experience. Because I have the Scarlet 4i4 3 gen I have to use the focusrite driver because my interface has no buttons on it except for the phantom power and that's also sort of giving me a bit of an issue because the driver is asking me what analogs do I want to set for which inputs for my interface. I'm only going to click air because I'm only using the microphone right now. Each little window on the driver has a little dropdown window that says use as one and two, play from DAW or custom and I don't know what is what.lot to unpack I know...when I record my vocals to the song with just the instrumentals playing, do I have to press record right away and then start singing or do I have to be record the instrumentals first then put my vocals to it?..sorry for all the lame questions
@@exotichordz819 OK, so....on Focusrite Control you should see at the top of the page 'Input Settings and Output Routing'. Your input settings are where you control things you are plugging in. Here you can set whether your analogue inputs (xlr/jack etc) are line level or mic level. The output routing is setting where the audio comes back out. You probably just want to leave this how it is for now. As far as the absolute basics of recording (what order etc)...I have an unlisted video that might help you...it's talking about garageband but it will all still apply. 🙂 th-cam.com/video/BFAkj8CKnEI/w-d-xo.html
@@ChasingTheGoose I upgraded my speakers...had the unbalanced edifier speakers..I just ordered Sterling Audio MX5 Pair Powered Monitors.. That will be an upgrade I think..can use XLR port or the TRS cables..I'm not sure what the better choice would be though I guess I'll buy both just in case..also got an external CD DVD drive so that will be cool too.. I'll check out your video link thanks
The mocrophone is not working bro It wont let me change the device of the input. please could really help me ive been trying to make it work all night ive got a PC

Wassup Ryan I got audio technica and I’m currently using BandLab I been having trouble recording my voice when I do record it on BandLab the mic doesn’t pick up no signal
2nd Q? I sing on harmonium box and harmonium sound gets recorded along with vocals and can not be spilted. If I put reverb or echo, harmonium sound is roaring, so how I put effects on solo vocals Please reply
The only way to get total separation is to record them separately...if you recorded it down one mic then there's not a lot you can do...you could try eqing the reverb if they're on separate channels and it's just bleed that's the issue?
Hello if you see this I hooked up my M audio box to BandLab with my brand new mic and I don’t know why the mic’s not going through BandLab if anybody can help out thank you
Did you get it working? Have you selected the M audio box as your input and output in your sound settings? Does the interface require drivers that you need to download?
Hi,,I've got a Allen n Heath Zed 16Fx mixer. It came with the Cakewalk bundle. But I can't seem to get to work it.Its USB, connection type. Do I have to use Audio interface,,,?. Somebody help,,,coz I can't get in the sound input to the DAW from the keys/guitars etc etc.
Hey man and thanks for your video! I've some problems with my acoustic guitar using Bandlab. I use a behringer umc404hd and a PC but when i register the guitar the volume is too low and some rumors disturb the sound. what could be the problem? Thanks!
Hey man. Are you plugging your guitar in directly? You will normally get better results putting a half decent mic in front of an acoustic guitar although it is possible to plug straight in. You should make sure to select 'instrument' on the front of your interface...check the pad button isn't on....then you should be able to control volume with the gain knob. Also make sure your guitar volume is up full and you have a battery in your pickup. Hope that helps?
Do you mean latency in your headphones. That depends on your DAW and setup but what I normally do is leaving monitoring off and just have my headphone off one ear when tracking.
i have the focusrite scarlett solo and a rode nt1a, daw is bandlab, but after doing everything the website said and everything youtube tutorials have said i still cant get any sound picked up by the mic, theres no indication of sound on the scarlett or in bandlab and its lowkey annoying me, any help?
After you have set it all up in bandlab and created a voice/instrument track....at the bottom left of the screen do you have your interface selected as the input? If it's still not working...try downloading reaper (it's free) and see if it works in there...good luck
@@ChasingTheGoose yes it shows it recording. The source is picking up but after I record my part the track that I just recorded disappears. I'm wasting a lot of time in the studio.
Im using a pc and a at2020 mic and when i record vocals my focusrite solo picks up audio on the instrument track causing feedback. How do i fix that. SOS
Hey. I don’t quite know what you’re saying…if you have the solo then there isn’t another track that could be picking anything up…it’s only got one channel. After you have recorded your instrument make sure that track is no longer ‘armed’ to record…hope that helps?
Did you fix this? Make sure you’re singing in to the front of the mic (sounds obvious but it’s a condenser and you are in cardioid it’s worth checking….does it need phantom power (48v)?
Do I plug the headphones into the audio interface or my computer to be able to hear previous tracks (like drums) while recording a new track (like guitar)?
You can do either...it depends where you are sending audio out to in your settings... I would recommend using your interface as the input and output device then you can plug your cans or speakers in to the interface...sorry for the slow response...I'm lost in Pokemon at the minute
I'm having the same issue I can record guitar but can't hear drums I've recorded so I can't play along with it with my gweetar ! So all I need to do is plug headphones onto the interface and I'll hear the drums to play along to yea ??
@@drdrummer87 When I switched to GarageBand on iPad all the issues I kept having with Bandlab went away. Also, when I tried Bandlab on iPad/Apple it worked 100x better than it does on PC
But the electric guitar with the effects from the program ? Ps : I tried one time and I musted use direct monitor to hear the effects but its sounds with much latency and by the way, what latency is the best for this program ?
To avoid latency when recording...a quick and easy fix is to only have one headphone on and monitor yourself in the room...then you don't have to worry about latency at all...just turn monitoring off
Need help asap. When I do this on my hp laptop within bandlab it doesn’t want let me use my device (audient id4) i have to choose between analogue 1/2 and loop-back 1/2 I dont even know which one and when I click it says again no device. Please help
@@ChasingTheGoose i have changed my laptop and now its working. One last thing. When I record and playback my voice is totally of beat, how can I fix that in bandlab
Maybe you need to go yo settings and click on "monitoring" Also my wanna make sure that the preference on your computer are selected to go through your interface
@@ChasingTheGoose hi I can record guitar but can't hear my drums to play along with do I plug headphones into the interface to hear my drums to play along to ?? I've tried plugging headphones into laptop to hear the drums but can't hear anything
I have a Scarlett Gen 2 interface and when I set it up for Cakewalk, it shows up and allows me to select it, but no sound and program crashes. When using the Bandlab website studio, as shown in the video for the guitar recording, I am not able to select my interface for the input setting. Even though the option for my interface is there, I cant select it. It keeps switching back to "No Device". I do not know how to fix this issue.
If I were you I would try Reaper...this video was made for a specific project where they had to use Bandlab but it's not the program I would recommend...try Reaper and let me know if you have the same issue
@@ChasingTheGoose i ended up using Reaper and I got everything to work. Only issue with Reaper when using my interface for my guitar is, i get a static noise coming from my interface. I don't know how to get rid of it completely when using my plug-ins. It's on the master track.
@@brandonsulak I'm glad that worked...a noisy guitar could mean so many things...you could try micing it up in an amp if it's noisy when it's plugged in to the interface....you might just need to try a different lead.
@@keylowboyz2132 the error message doesn’t say ‘your audio is not working’…what does it actually say? If you’ve got no sound are we talking about on the way in or out? Or both? Check the audio settings on your computer and also check the settings in your DAW…you need to pick the interface as the way in…the way out depends where you are trying to hear it…headphones/speakers etc
Do you mean to record or when you are playing it back? If you are recording and have the two instruments plugged in the two inputs on the interface....you just need to set up two tracks in your DAW and choose to record input one for the guitar and input 2 for the piano...if you are talking about after you have recorded it you can pan sounds left to right to be able to place them in different speakers...hope that helps?
To record electric your best option is to amp it up and put a mic in front of the amp...unless you have some amazing plugins like Universal Audio that can get good sounds in the box
@@ChasingTheGoose And that plugin I'll put into the program or how ? And another think... after I record my voice, its hear with spatter and I really dont know why so, what I can do to hear her clear ?
@@jameshet8309 Very hard to know without seeing for myself...tell me your whole setup and i'll see if I can work it out...what computer/interface/how its connected etc

I cannot get it to recognize my stupid fucking mic in bandlab or fl i have a condenser mic phantom powered but it wont show audio levels in bandlab i installed drivers and everything im tryna make an ep so im extremely frustrated because I need to finish this ep but i cant record any vocals because it wont use the mic as input
If you are talking about latency then it depends what program you are using....in some programs like Ableton you can change the buffer to lower the latency but I doubt you can in Band Lab....to be honest I rarely use monitoring and just leave one headphone off to hear myself in the room
Hey i tried connecting my audio interface called mackie onyx producer 2-2 but after i connected the jack to jack from my guitar to the interface there is no signal picking up in bandlab.. but there is a signal picking up directly to the audio interface... What do i do.. genuinely confused
on the front of your interface change the monitoring option to 'direct monitoring'...it's sometimes represented as a small circle and then a double circle (on a two channel interface)...that should help. another option is not monitor at all and just leave one headphone off. Hope that helps
How do I do this on a hp laptop

Hi, I just got BandLab on my mac along with the focusrite and I don’t know how to use it. I tried setting up my focusrite to BandLab but it’s not connecting. I did the input and output like you said. Can you help me out?
I have a video to show you.
Did you get it working yet? My first piece of advice I give anyone who watched this video is....download Reaper instead. Bandlab is fairly rubbish and unless it's for school or solely for the collaboration options (not even worth it for that though really) I would get a different program. Reaper is a great place to start. Let me know if you can't get it working on Reaper. Nice one
@just another side hustle Hey I followed u all the way up until u said you were on a Mac and u had to make sure that it's set to focusrite Scarlett for the mic..u selected focusrite 2 times input and output..I am using a Samsung Galaxybook 2 pro 360 run by windows 11 I believe.how do I make sure my condenser mic is being utilized on my laptop?..I literally am so new to this and I just want to record my vocals thru import or making a beat in the bandlab studio. It's been a very frustrating go. That's why I'm using bandlab RN bc it's a lot more simple the pro DAWs. I'm going to try to switch to Ableton once I can make interface content with bandlab. Thank u
Hey. Most steps should be the same…the difference will be setting the interface as your audio in and out. Find your settings and then go to sound settings and it should be there...you want to set your interface as the input and output!!
@@ChasingTheGoose thank you for getting back to me so quickly. You are honestly the first person on TH-cam that has broken it down to me in a way that was simple and to the point.i know bandlab isn't a real daw but I gotta start somewhere..I've had the Scarlett 4i4 3rd generation for 6 months now and I've been working so hard to beable to create something with it..I was able to get my edifier speakers to run thru my Scarlett Wich I was happy about 😂😂...then I used bandlab to try to create any vocal recording with the Scarlett and i did it by mistake bc I couldn't figure it out again after that..I used the splitter tool that bandlab has now and imported a song of a band that inspired me and I was able to get the song into studio. I got shit from ppl on reddit for doing that but I don't give a fuck im learning this from scratch I have no recording experience and minimal computer experience. Because I have the Scarlet 4i4 3 gen I have to use the focusrite driver because my interface has no buttons on it except for the phantom power and that's also sort of giving me a bit of an issue because the driver is asking me what analogs do I want to set for which inputs for my interface. I'm only going to click air because I'm only using the microphone right now. Each little window on the driver has a little dropdown window that says use as one and two, play from DAW or custom and I don't know what is what.lot to unpack I know...when I record my vocals to the song with just the instrumentals playing, do I have to press record right away and then start singing or do I have to be record the instrumentals first then put my vocals to it?..sorry for all the lame questions
@@exotichordz819 OK, so....on Focusrite Control you should see at the top of the page 'Input Settings and Output Routing'. Your input settings are where you control things you are plugging in. Here you can set whether your analogue inputs (xlr/jack etc) are line level or mic level. The output routing is setting where the audio comes back out. You probably just want to leave this how it is for now. As far as the absolute basics of recording (what order etc)...I have an unlisted video that might help you...it's talking about garageband but it will all still apply. 🙂 th-cam.com/video/BFAkj8CKnEI/w-d-xo.html
@@ChasingTheGoose I upgraded my speakers...had the unbalanced edifier speakers..I just ordered Sterling Audio MX5 Pair Powered Monitors.. That will be an upgrade I think..can use XLR port or the TRS cables..I'm not sure what the better choice would be though I guess I'll buy both just in case..also got an external CD DVD drive so that will be cool too.. I'll check out your video link thanks

Wassup Ryan I got audio technica and I’m currently using BandLab I been having trouble recording my voice when I do record it on BandLab the mic doesn’t pick up no signal
Audio Technica interface? What's the mic? Does it need phantom power (48v)?
When i allow my mic on bandlab website it muffles playback can someone help with this
@@michaelshipley8878 it changes the sound of things you had already recorded? Or the mic sounds fuzzy?
@@ChasingTheGooseyea the stuff i already recorded sounds muffled i cant even hear the beat
@ is it the same speakers with both set ups (computer audio and interface)? Does it sound muffled if you plug headphones in? 🙂
2nd Q?
I sing on harmonium box and harmonium sound gets recorded along with vocals and can not be spilted. If I put reverb or echo, harmonium sound is roaring, so how I put effects on solo vocals
Please reply
The only way to get total separation is to record them separately...if you recorded it down one mic then there's not a lot you can do...you could try eqing the reverb if they're on separate channels and it's just bleed that's the issue?
A very helpful video 📹. Thanks bro
Hello if you see this I hooked up my M audio box to BandLab with my brand new mic and I don’t know why the mic’s not going through BandLab if anybody can help out thank you
Did you get it working? Have you selected the M audio box as your input and output in your sound settings? Does the interface require drivers that you need to download?
Very informative. Thank you.
Hi,,I've got a Allen n Heath Zed 16Fx mixer. It came with the Cakewalk bundle.
But I can't seem to get to work it.Its USB, connection type. Do I have to use Audio interface,,,?.
Somebody help,,,coz I can't get in the sound input to the DAW from the keys/guitars etc etc.
Sorry for the slow response. Did you get it working?
I appreciate you so much for this! Thank you!!
Ok so it’s picking up the mic audio but it’s extremely low I tryed turning up everything
Is it a condenser mic? If so it will need phantom power...can you see a button on your interface anywhere marked +48?
Hey man and thanks for your video! I've some problems with my acoustic guitar using Bandlab. I use a behringer umc404hd and a PC but when i register the guitar the volume is too low and some rumors disturb the sound. what could be the problem? Thanks!
Hey man. Are you plugging your guitar in directly? You will normally get better results putting a half decent mic in front of an acoustic guitar although it is possible to plug straight in. You should make sure to select 'instrument' on the front of your interface...check the pad button isn't on....then you should be able to control volume with the gain knob. Also make sure your guitar volume is up full and you have a battery in your pickup. Hope that helps?
how about the Delay? how do i fix that?
Do you mean latency in your headphones. That depends on your DAW and setup but what I normally do is leaving monitoring off and just have my headphone off one ear when tracking.
i have the focusrite scarlett solo and a rode nt1a, daw is bandlab, but after doing everything the website said and everything youtube tutorials have said i still cant get any sound picked up by the mic, theres no indication of sound on the scarlett or in bandlab and its lowkey annoying me, any help?
After you have set it all up in bandlab and created a voice/instrument track....at the bottom left of the screen do you have your interface selected as the input? If it's still not working...try downloading reaper (it's free) and see if it works in there...good luck
@@ChasingTheGoose on it just now, thank youu
Sorry, just wanna make sure. So you can use the Scarlett directly on your Mac PC and connect with the Bandlab without installing any Scarlett driver?
The sign up is for your warranty and the extra software...I didn't have to install any drivers.
What do you do when you press record but it doesn't save the recording and so it won't playback ?
Hi. Are you seeing the audio record in...as in, are you seeing it create a block in the timeline with a waveform in it?
@@ChasingTheGoose yes it shows it recording. The source is picking up but after I record my part the track that I just recorded disappears. I'm wasting a lot of time in the studio.
Bro when i want to record using 2i2 my recording is cracky, what should i do?
Im using a pc and a at2020 mic and when i record vocals my focusrite solo picks up audio on the instrument track causing feedback. How do i fix that. SOS
Hey. I don’t quite know what you’re saying…if you have the solo then there isn’t another track that could be picking anything up…it’s only got one channel. After you have recorded your instrument make sure that track is no longer ‘armed’ to record…hope that helps?
For some reason when I plsy it back I have no pan on but it only plays back my voice in the right side of the headphones.
All the time? Or just your voice? I might need more details to be able to help. Tell me a bit more about it
my mic sounds muffled a bit how do i fix that?
Did you fix this? Make sure you’re singing in to the front of the mic (sounds obvious but it’s a condenser and you are in cardioid it’s worth checking….does it need phantom power (48v)?
Do I plug the headphones into the audio interface or my computer to be able to hear previous tracks (like drums) while recording a new track (like guitar)?
You can do either...it depends where you are sending audio out to in your settings... I would recommend using your interface as the input and output device then you can plug your cans or speakers in to the interface...sorry for the slow response...I'm lost in Pokemon at the minute
I'm having the same issue I can record guitar but can't hear drums I've recorded so I can't play along with it with my gweetar ! So all I need to do is plug headphones onto the interface and I'll hear the drums to play along to yea ??
@@drdrummer87 When I switched to GarageBand on iPad all the issues I kept having with Bandlab went away. Also, when I tried Bandlab on iPad/Apple it worked 100x better than it does on PC
How do I get rid of the delay on the audio after recording
That means it was latent when you were recording...the only real fix for that after you've recorded is to manually drag it back
Do you how i can fix latency issues? Theres a lag on mine
What's your setup?
@@ChasingTheGoose a laptop. Scarlet 212. Condenser mic. And bandlab
@@korruptnovellst4751 I would highly recommend Reaper....much more useable platform than Bandlab and you should get far less latency issues 🙂
@@korruptnovellst4751 th-cam.com/video/molB6HkrclE/w-d-xo.html
Can you use guitar effects there?
Where, sorry?
Thanks bro it really helped❤️❤️
But the electric guitar with the effects from the program ? Ps : I tried one time and I musted use direct monitor to hear the effects but its sounds with much latency and by the way, what latency is the best for this program ?
To avoid latency when recording...a quick and easy fix is to only have one headphone on and monitor yourself in the room...then you don't have to worry about latency at all...just turn monitoring off
Need help asap.
When I do this on my hp laptop within bandlab it doesn’t want let me use my device (audient id4) i have to choose between analogue 1/2 and loop-back 1/2 I dont even know which one and when I click it says again no device. Please help

Maybe you need to go yo settings and click on "monitoring"
Also my wanna make sure that the preference on your computer are selected to go through your interface
I have the same problem and with a Mac also I turn on the 48v it buzzes and I can only hear myself and not the song off BandLab
hi i have the first gen and for some reason i can’t hear out of my mic can you please help me
Hi there. the 1st gen of what, the scarlett? and what do you have plugged in to it? headphones or speakers?
@@ChasingTheGoose hi I can record guitar but can't hear my drums to play along with do I plug headphones into the interface to hear my drums to play along to ?? I've tried plugging headphones into laptop to hear the drums but can't hear anything
Hey man if there is a way we can contact so u can show me how to use this band lab on this HP laptop that would be dope lmk please
I'm not currently offering this but it's something I would consider
I have a Scarlett Gen 2 interface and when I set it up for Cakewalk, it shows up and allows me to select it, but no sound and program crashes.
When using the Bandlab website studio, as shown in the video for the guitar recording, I am not able to select my interface for the input setting. Even though the option for my interface is there, I cant select it. It keeps switching back to "No Device". I do not know how to fix this issue.
If I were you I would try Reaper...this video was made for a specific project where they had to use Bandlab but it's not the program I would recommend...try Reaper and let me know if you have the same issue
@@ChasingTheGoose i ended up using Reaper and I got everything to work. Only issue with Reaper when using my interface for my guitar is, i get a static noise coming from my interface. I don't know how to get rid of it completely when using my plug-ins. It's on the master track.
@@brandonsulak I'm glad that worked...a noisy guitar could mean so many things...you could try micing it up in an amp if it's noisy when it's plugged in to the interface....you might just need to try a different lead.

@@keylowboyz2132 the error message doesn’t say ‘your audio is not working’…what does it actually say? If you’ve got no sound are we talking about on the way in or out? Or both?

Hey man, I am planning to make a full cover of a love song. What fx of the recording should be used?
For Dynamic microphones DO NOT USE PHANTOM POWER!!! youll break your mic by doing that!
Didn’t know that. Thanks 👍🏼
what is phantom power?
for more power u can use one of those charging + usb ports
Do you need to turn on phantom power for guitar/instruments?
No but there is normally a button to specify that your are plugging in a line signal....normally marked 'instrument'
Can I do it on phone with my Scarlett?
i don't think so....
Bruh thank you so much.
Does this also work for a HP windows computer
Laptop*
@@dababyletsgooo6949 Yes it should work fine on windows
So my question is: How do I split the channels?
Like can I get the bass to come through one channel and piano on another channel
Do you mean to record or when you are playing it back? If you are recording and have the two instruments plugged in the two inputs on the interface....you just need to set up two tracks in your DAW and choose to record input one for the guitar and input 2 for the piano...if you are talking about after you have recorded it you can pan sounds left to right to be able to place them in different speakers...hope that helps?
But the electric guitar with the same soundboard ?? Becauase here at me it doesnt work at all !!
To record electric your best option is to amp it up and put a mic in front of the amp...unless you have some amazing plugins like Universal Audio that can get good sounds in the box

on the front of your interface change the monitoring option to 'direct monitoring'...it's sometimes represented as a small circle and then a double circle (on a two channel interface)...that should help. another option is not monitor at all and just leave one headphone off. Hope that helps
