Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 Reviews

Very good

This is a really well made product and has no background noise. It is very reasonably prices as well.

Bought as a trial into recording on my laptop

I bought this products as a trial to see how difficult it is to record direct to my DAW compared to micing up an amp. it is a lot easier this way thats for sure.

First the good- It feels very solid with its metal frame and all the knobs feel very solid. it has a light for signal which is very useful to see a visual sign everything is working. it has enough features if like me you are starting out in the world of audio interfaces or likewise if you are wanting a small audio interface. it has a input to fit multiple types of connection and also an additional instument jack,

Cons - it is very difficult to get set up as the drivers on the website didnt work on my laptop (win 10) so i had to spend a few hours googling and i found that the drivers for another audio interface made by the same brand worked. there is also sligt background noise but for the money it is expected and it is hardly noticable.

If you want to get into the world of audio interfaces or wanted a small and simple one i would get this!

Don't hesitate to buy it!

If you are going to use this for your Studio monitors, recording vocals, or recording instruments, this is a really good buy if you are in a budget. There are better choices, but this does the job like a charm and it is very cheap too.

In terms of build Quality, I would say it is pretty solid. The body is metal, and the knobs feel good to handle, they don't wobble or anything. Overall it has a very good quality physically. The size of it also takes a little space on my desk which is good.

Functionality wise, it does the job really well. My monitors are connected to it and it does not produce any hiss or extra noises. The mic pre amp is also really good, vocals are crisp and strong enough. The only headache I got was ASIO4ALL driver, it was a bit hard to set up, but got through it anyway. Lowering the buffer size makes my sound glitch and stutter.

In conclusion, this is a really good buy and I think you shouldn't hesitate on it. It is really worth the money.

Good for the price

While this isn't by any means the best interface out there, it's certainly great value for the money. I use it so I can plug into my amp sims and for some basic recording, and it does that really well.

If you're looking for a budget interface, I recommend it.

great for begginers who want to expirience

it wont rec the best sound quality , but it is great for only 36euros to start recording your own ideas.

Very good for the money

I've been using mine for over a year now. It works great, does what it should. I had a lot of problems finding the right drivers for it given behringer have nothing but a free generic driver on their website. After getting it to work I've used it for everyday VOIP services, recording vocals and instruments. Connecting my guitar to my pc etc. Great bang for the buck.

A great Interface for a fantastic price

Usage:

Cheap songwriting setup - mainly acoustic guitar + vocals.

Essentially a 'set and forget' system for recording ideas etc.

Pros:

It has a reasonably small footprint that, with a bit of jiggery-pokery

I slotted into a spare DVD burner bay.

The mic pre-amp is surprisingly good for the price.

Cons:

ASIO4ALL (on windows) instead of bespoke drivers.

Build Quality:

The knobs have a fairly confident, heavy twiddle feel which is nice.

The stenciled lettering is clear and the led's light up as you'd expect.

Overall the build quality is excellent.

Opinion:

ASIO4ALL have a tendency to have dreadful default settings and are

a real pig to get working, crackle free at any sort of usable latency for

real time monitoring with vst/fx which, pretty much rules this unit out

for a 'guitar' interface. Go for a Line6 or anything with inline fx if that

is your goal.

Where this unit does shine is the build quality and the MIDAS pre-amp.

For the price it's difficult to fault and, for my setup, worth every penny.

Can't beat this

What could be said about this small unit, except it's a more than decent audio interface at unbeatable price...amazinh what you can get for 30¤ these days!

Good for the price

It is a decent interface. Bought it to use it with my electric guitar and fl studio and I all I can say that it does the job. Sound quality is alright, the machine itself is sturdy. The only problem when setting up this dude was finding working and not buggy drivers. Behringer official page sucks, so you have to search it yourself. Cannot see any difference between my friends Scarlett Solo interface.

Save your money with this little home studio interface.

Definitely not for electric guitar

Tried to connect guitar to laptop using this USB audio interface. Unfortunately the sound is very poor sound. Almost impossible to use with any kind of distortion.

Pros: Pretty housing, pleasant surface. Looks lasting and reliable

Cons: Lot of noise and interference

It would be great to outline for which purposes it should be used.

Very good for the price

The best option if you're in a budget.

Nice

It is good as it seems. NOt a highend product but serves its purpose right

Worths its price

Bought this interface two months ago to record my guitar at home, and it's been working well.

Pros:

The handling is good, the driver is easy to download and including setting up the recording software, it takes around half an hour to make everything set.

The features are acceptable for its price. A mic/line input together with a instrument input is enough for personal use, at least for me. With the XLR input, I can even connect my guitar amp head to it, which is really convenient.

The sound seems to have a subtle delay, hardly noticeable, but the sound quality is guaranteed. By monitoring with headphones, the guitar sounds perfect.

The quality is undisputed as it is from the brand Behringer. It has a sturdy package with the accessories needed and the interface itself is firm enough.

Cons:

Because it uses ASIO4ALL general driver, it could be a bit annoying when setting up for CUBASE or, personally speaking, for playing Rocksmith's. Interfaces with specialized driver could get away with these types of hassles.

And there is a subtle delay in the sound, hardly noticeable but it is indeed there.

Does what it says on the tin

I have had no problems with this using with Ableton and Logic with an Oktava MK319 condenser mic. Great sound, no noise and easy to connect, the Midas preamps this cheap are brilliant and the phantom power works well. My only gripe would be that separate monitor and headphone volume controls would have been helpful for silencing monitors and listening with headphones when recording Vocals. This can be found on the UMC202HD for a few quid more :)

Not bad

It was my first. If you want to record mic + instrument - GO!

Behringer delivers exquisite sound

Fast delivery and great packaging. Really happy with the quality of product. Solid build and simple but effective components. Surprised at the quality of recorded vocals even in untreated rooms.

Suprisingly good

I've only used it with GarageBand and guitar - but it handles things better than I expected. Almost no clipping even if I push it with pedals.

An all-round great product!

I bought this product some time ago as a first step into home recording, and it has been perfect for all my needs. If you're looking to record alone, I can see no problems with this product, unless you want to, say, multi-mic an acoustic guitar, or mic an acoustic guitar and a voice separately yet simultaneously, in which case there are plenty of more appropriate products on the market!

Very usable, very intuitive and very consistent audio - I have yet to encounter any glitches in any regard! Another nice aspect is the sturdiness of the casing, with what feel like well secured knobs.

From my experience with it (about 6 months of constant use) I couldn't recommend it more!

do the job - very easy

I use this interface to record guitar and bass on audacity.

easy to install, the computer sees it as an external sound card. You choose this way in and out on audacity, and let's play !

Clip LED, input level seting, XLR or Jack input.

No weird noises at the record...

Not expensive, does the job perfectly... what else ?

No regret !

Good for the price

I got more than I expected from this product. So far, I didn't have any problems with it. I would recommend this if you have a tight budget(like me). This is the first audio interface I bought for my self and I don't see any reason to buy a new and expensive audio interface.

Pros: Affordable, Good sound quality, good build quality, does't clip when recording bass

Cons: Volume knob for headphones and monitors is common, No other output connector(only TRS), asio driver
