UMC1820 : !NoBrainer!

I bought the UMC to make a comparison video against my Focusrite 2i4 as i was originaly planning on buying the 18i20 for my ever expanding Studio. Its not going back and i have happily saved myself €300.

At first i was abit skeptical of the umc but after having bought some berhinger synths and seeing how well built they were and how good they sound i thought i can always buy this just to test it out and return if unhappy. I am exstatic about this purchase!!! If your in the market for a new soundcard LOOK NO FURTHER. I put it up agaisnt the focusrite and there is in NO WAY a €300 euro difference maybe a €20 difference at best.

Pros:

-amazing sounding Preamps

-Goddamn low latency (better than my focusrite)

-96khz capable (not that i ever go over 44.1)

-MUCH better build than expected

Cons:

-All knobs look the same so i quickly loose where my master or 1-8 input is (fixed by buying prettier knobs)

-Gets abit warm on the top left (leave 1u space in rack if possible)

This is an amazing product and i think anyone looking for a studio sound card that hasent got €10,000 euro monitors or €3000 euro mics should be looking at anything else.
