Hi All,
I’m new to the community, hi.
I have some general set up questions.
To preface let me tell you my current gear (still building):
- Scarlett 2i2
- Roland rd 700nx piano
- Beyerdynamic DT 900 pro x phones
- Maton ECW80C acoustic guitar
- MacBook Pro 2022 16”
Question 1:
my Scarlett 2i2 came with a short USB C to USB A lead. Is there a benefit to upgrade to USBc to USBc?
Question 2:
Will I lose quality if I increase lead to roughly 1.5m?
Question 3:
I need my piano MIDI (printer) cable to be about 3m long. Will this cause data to be loss?
Question 4:
I need a hub. The following is what I need to plug into it:
- 2 x 27” HP monitors for dual screens (currently plugged direct to usb c inputs on Mac)
- MIDI from piano - USBc (or A)
- iPhone charger (fast charge)
- audio interface (2i2) (I feel this should plug direct to mac?)
- spare usb a for thumb drive and other
4/1: are there specific specs I need for a hub to achieve what I need?
4/2: i notice hubs come with a short lead, is there an issue with me changing to a 1m lead?
4/3: should audio interface be connected direct to mac?
4/4: should MIDI keyboard be connected directly to Mac?
4/5: are there any benefits to buying/replacing cords with usb C over usb A?
At this stage, these are my basic questions.
Thanks heaps!
