2+ : Perfect for smaller projects

6 years ago

I have used a Steinberg UR28m before, and switched to this one.

Pros:

- Very clear sound, my mixing was getting much better than the UR28m

- I used the 4k legacy effect on my tracks, which gave it a nice touch

- Headphones are also very good

Cons:

- I came across the problem of buffering, I am a producer who uses a lot of heavy VST's, and I instantly run into a buffering sound issue at the highest sample rate of 2048ms. The UR28m did much better here, especially with the SoothEQ vst.

- SSL plugins did not work in Cubase 9.5 for me and were automatically blacklisted :(

Conclusion:

Awesome soundcard if you are running not too much plugins in your projects. I use Cubase 9.5 pro. Because I need more power and input/outpus for my projects, I returned the SSL2+ and switched to the higher price class Antelope. So I rate this product as 4 stars if I compare price/quality.
