UMC404HD : UMC404HD

I purchased this interface to replace my old Line6 Toneport - I needed more input options, better latency and performance and this baby delivers. I was reluctant at first as everyone recommended more expensive devices over this one but being on a budget and an amateur musician I took my chances and went the 'more bang for the buck' road.

I record mostly via VST (using Reaper btw.), occasionally via the Mic port, and get decent latency with a number of VST heavy tracks with no cracks/clipping whatsoever on a rather dated PC (windows 10 x64).

The device has dedicated drivers with plenty of config options not available on other competitive devices (tested a PreSonus Audiobox and the Behringer owns it hands down).

The reason I went for the UMC404 over the smaller model is extra power via the extra power adapter - it's sometimes problematic to get phantom power working correctly via the USB bus only, having an extra power source helps here a lot.

All in all I can only recommend the product, does the job for me;)
