UMC404HD : Best on a budget

Use.

To send midi to my Synthesizers and also to send audio to my speakers.

I bought this product for the specific purpose listed above. the fact it has 4 inputs is an added bonus , whilst i only need one to record my synth , it allows me to exude a bit of confidence if i ever find myself in a situation where i want to Multi track a band hehe xD

The product finish is very sleek and a smooth touch , having a monitor switch allows me to check my mixes on 5 inch monitors at ease while main monitoring is done on 8 inch monitors its nice to be able to get a change of opinion very fast .

Pros and cons

Pros

- Budget friendly i was hard pushed to find a AI with this level of flexibility .

-Smooth finish.

-Led signal to show clipping.

Cons

- Knobs are slightly close together , doesn't bother me but just letting you folks know.

It does exactly what i need it to do and it does them well , Audio quality is also very clear very low signal or noise hiss etc. if your on a budget its hard to turn your nose at it offers a wide range of function at a soft price on the wallet .

Overall if you don't care about aesthetics (Not that it looks bad) its your go to for a band and audio monitoring at such a good price.
