Audio Interface Reviews Are Misleading... Here's Why

Video Description

The Video in Question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlc3-xzplE4&t=1046s TRUST YOUR EARS - not a spec sheet After ranking some of the most popular audio interfaces in my last video, the comments came flooding in: “This isn’t a real review!” “Just another guy with opinions.” So I'm here to break down why most audio interface reviews are actually misleading, and how "shootouts," "scientific reviews," specs, and even A/B tests can sometimes give you the wrong idea about how something actually sounds in real-world use. I also share a story that completely changed how I evaluate gear and why you should trust your ears more than lab results. Whether you’re choosing your first interface or upgrading your studio setup, this video will help you see reviews in a whole new way.
