Two boxes and replaces it with a tiny little one. Right? Yeah. And I'm not positive that it's arm based, but I'm pretty sure it's arm based. I'm not entirely positive about that. But what's cool about it is you have Sliders, and you have, channels. I actually this is replacing So, yeah, I I think my audio quality might not be noticeable to you, the listener, that it's it's gotten a lot better, but it's going to get

this is replacing 3 well, 4 separate pieces of equipment that I have. It's replacing my Compressor. It's replacing my studio, I got the the unit that was already pretty good, And we just added our top of the line d s or we we added our top of the line everything, but there's software to it.

extremely good microphones.

n n e u m a n n. It's it's a German word. They're they're like a, they're a company that's been around forever

Oh, yeah. So what they

What's,

They have, like, really high quality preamps, high high quality mic stuff. And what they did is they bought a company that handles a lot of DSP, not cheap little box, but a little box that has presets. It has, And they they handle these types of digital audio interfaces, and they were just like, well, what if we took And then you mix that all together, and you have a really nice Unit here for digital audio conversion.

And

Just, what's the u u 47 or something? There there's they have, like, a long history of Digital signal processing and as an onboard

So, yeah, I'm excited for this thing. We'll travel right. Model number on the one you got. I wanna look it up. Oh, sorry. Neumann,

Fantastic. Much better than the Scarlet. Yeah. Right? Kept going on me. It's funny because we've been running this whole podcast, which is now, You know, it was a big part of my career. Now it's basically my entire career right now. So, like, has, like, the highest quality microphones, you know, just the top of the line microphones, a Norman, and before that, you know, recording courses, like, well, maybe I should be getting in some nicer preamps than these, like, $99 scarlet ones that came with the thing. Alright. Let's get into the first question we have from Longtime listener, Paige Niederinghouse.

An ear infection like a child.

EQ and all the compression stuff and really high level line signals. Like, I don't have to use Half the stuff that I'm currently using,

I I've been on antibiotics now for, like, 2 months. I'm just I'm over it, but I I'm so excited about all this stuff. I just ordered a a new audio interface

and I'm so excited. It's made by Neumann.

Mhmm. For for my setup here that has onboard

harasses you Really? To buy plug ins.

it I don't think there's any AI in it. There's no AI into it. It's just really nice quality. In fact, the, high level, very good software The EQ that's in it is like the exact same software EQ that's in some of the most expensive VSTs. So it's it's straight up, this so part of the the the the, the hardware that this that Neumann bought that they've adapted into this box, That was, like, their big selling feature is doing audio over Ethernet,

on a little box. You have to pay a is there a monthly subscription to this thing? No, thank God no. No, thank you. Okay, because like I have the Volt and it software vendor out there. But I had to, like, aggressively turn off all the, like, Stop trying to sell me stuff. I just bought, yeah, $500 box from you.

I think it comes with something, and you can you can just buy plug ins from any

Better for sure. And it's going to get easier. This thing's small enough I can take it on the road with me. So do you remember when we did our live episode or our our quote unquote live episode from Winston's basement? So I'm I'm going to have a just straight up into it as thunderbolt. Yeah. But one of the the cool things is that my mic Has such a low volume to it that I have to pump it up with this little box called a cloud lifter. Yeah. And that kind of inherently,

Yeah. I I could bring my microphone in this little box, and that's it. I don't have to bring a whole ton of stuff. So, yeah, it it just Dropped. And I got a message saying that they really don't know when it's going to ship. So

I was hoping that I would be getting it soon enough, but I'll let you know when it arrives, and I'll take some pictures. It's pretty cool. I'm curious when we will see something like this with, like, a GPU in it that will, like,

It it inherently And this looks like top Top of the line, everything. So I'm I'm super excited to have this new audio interface and maybe,

makes the signal worse in just a little bit way. It's it's gaining it up, but this is going to allow me to have a, do all of that essentially onboard in a much nicer digital signal processing in terms of, baked in EQ, baked in compression algorithms, and all this stuff, but in a way that I'm gonna be able to snapshot all of this and have it be like you know, one of the big things that we have right now, my kids run-in here. My my equipment is accessible. They turn the knobs. They don't care.

where you could send more than more. I I'm I'm gonna sound like a a total dunce talking about this, but, like, you can send more over that signal than just the straight up audio signal. You can send more information over it. That's as far as I understand. I'm not going to be using that feature because it's thunderbolt.

Why is that?

Because, Neumann spelled, you know, you know n o y m a n? No. It's spelled n u,

with me, as always, is Mr. Scott How are you doing today, Scott? Oh, hey. I'm doing good, man. Doing really good.

But I love the Volta. It sounds it's
