      VOLT 276 - NO LOW END (BASS/KICK)

      After several attempts I have been unable to get any low end out of the Volt 276. I use a Focusrite 2i2 which works without an issue. My musician/techie geek son gifted me the Volt and I was particularly interested in the onboard compressor and saturation as my music is mostly from the 60s and 70s. However, even though we got it working, there is little bass or kick drum coming out of my monitors or the Audeze LCD-X headphones. I mix all of my tracks with booming bass and kick that you can hear and feel. That has disappeared with the VOLT. We asked support and got some suggestions, but none of them worked. So for now, I'm back to the Focusrite 2i2.

      The absolute best interface!

      This interface is absolutely genius!! Putting the compressor on there with the option of engaging the tube preamp also? Are you kidding me? You all have made the process of writing and recording, making new music, just the whole process of being creative, so much more enjoyable. I’m able to focus my energy and attention into my art with more ease. Thank you for all of your products. I ended up subscribing to the Spark bundle as well.

      Great product

      Very complete and versatile, I use it mainly to record voices, and I find the vintage button and the 76 compressor very useful.
      The only problem is that it doesn't let me use the plug-ins that come with the interface, since for some reason it doesn't recognize it.

      Classy Interface

      Met my criteria and exceeded my expectations. Love physical switches instead of software balloons. Simple setup. It sounds gorgeous. It simplified and elevated what I can do. Yeah, no regrets!

      I'm looking forward to the future.

      As soon as I started using "Volt," I realized it would bring new joy to my personal music production.
      I'm looking forward to what's to come.

      What a difference

      Wow, so blown away. The difference from the Focusrite solo to this is unbelievable. Absolutely love my 276 and really enjoy working with Luna now as well. Great job!

      Best áudio interface

      The best áudio interface I’ve ever had. Way ahead of the competition, and I love the compressor.

      Very good audio interface

      At first I hesitated several audio interfaces until I came across this one by pure chance, the audio quality is incredible, excellent voice recordings due to the 76 compressor and vintage integration, just a shame that we sometimes hear noises that squeaks but nothing bad once well mixed, in any case I recommend without hesitation its Volt series, thank you UAD

      Clean

      Very clean sound. Instantly recognizable difference from my other interfaces when I use the Volt 276. Vocals are also easy to record. Great tracking with the onboard 1176.

      Volt 2 76 compressor stage

      Product as you would expect very good etc etc

      the compressor: I am recording multi-track live strings.
      I accidentally left the compressor option engaged.
      By my estimation the circuit adds 5-8db of background noise, which is terminal for multitracking - it's exactly the type of noise one could confuse with driving a mic signal too hard on input; the difference between say, -56 to -48.
      It took me an entire session- which was spent mucking about with input gains - to find it was the compressor at the last minute. The 'vintage' option seems ok. Noice.

      i am happy with VOLT 276 so far

      I am in South Korea and just started bedroom(?) recording.
      I did buy this one for the classical outfit for the first time.
      now i have got some more pros while i am using this audio interface.
      especially headphone sound is very good through VOLT 276.
      I will recommend this to my friends.

      if you can make it, please update loopback for VOLT 276 in the future.

      Thanks
