UMC1820 : Got more than i was hoping for

5 years ago

I bought this interface just because I was in need of more inputs. As soon as I started using it, I found great benefit in having a number of outputs as well. With them, I could make various sends and returns. It's super handy and serves a wide variety of recording/mixing situations. Another handy thing is that all 8 ins have combination connectors, so there can all take line level XLR cables, as well as instrument level jack cables.

By now, we all figured out that Behringer's low prices don't necessarily reflect poor build quality. UMC1820 feels quite solid.

On top of everything, you can add 10 more channels through ADAT and SPDIF if you get external preamps.

Never had the problem with drivers. I've been using it mainly with Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and Garage Band.

The only downside is that the highest sample rate is 96 kHz. Honestly, I rarely have to record or mix in higher sample rate, but it would have been amazing if it would go to 192 kHz

I would strongly recommend this interface to anyone who needs a good amount of inputs and can't afford to break a bank.
