Behringer UMC1820

Very nice budget audio interface!

I bought this interface for recording drums and it does it's job perfectly! It has enought inpunts to record a 5 piece drum set + cymbals. So I'm happy with it!

It's my main interface now!

For the price, all the features it has makes it tough to beat. The pre-amps aren't amazing, but I've done plenty of recordings with it and no issues.

Has never let me down

This audio interface has never let me down and I'd like to say it's a joy to use.

Useful pedal for live MIDI control if your hands are too busy.

Used this pedal to control various functions like patch/song changes, backing tracks, loopers, channel mutes, and software guitar effect plugins within Apple Mainstage for a gutarist/singer live setup. Lots of pedals and banks. Painful to program manually (like a manic game of Simon Says), but there are a couple of 3rd party software programs that make the mapping more visible and easier to perform. I started simple and then added more controls. I didn't use anywhere near the 100 or so channels available. Physically the unit is quite well built and heavy so it stays where its put on stage. I'm only an occasional performer and I've only had it for a few months so can't vouch for its robustness under heavy use/gigging etc. One feature that slightly annoyed me was the LED on each pedal illuminates when the pedal is pressed but doesn't extinguish if you press again, only when you press another pedal, so if you use it for something on-off it doesn't reflect this.

It does what is says

Amazing performance. Clear sound and able to handle all the tasks for a multi track recording and also used for IEM by having 10 different mixes in the outputs.

Excellent for the price

I have multiple items plugged in and ready to pick up and record at a moment’s notice. Preamps are clean with decent per channel features and versatile output options..

The best budget 8-input audio interface

I bought this audio interface for drum recording and I am happy with my purchase. The first build quality seems decent and has the basic features you'll need for recording.

I recorded drums for a few songs and the tracks sound good. I used the ASIO driver for recording in my DAW settings and there were no problems with latency or sound glitches. I think this audio interface is the best budget 8-input interface at an affordable price.

Best in its price range

The umc 404 and this 1802 have never ever let me down. for years i've used the 404hd and it has never had 1 disfunction or problem. Sound is transparant and overal super nice. I've been to bigger studios who loved my recordings not knowing that it was recorded with these audio interfaces. Can't say anything bad about them.

In Behringer I trust!

Clean sound, good mic amps, really does the job

Great preamps, great controls, solid build

Had this for 2 years. Spent a year in the studio for live recordings with the band, and now a year at home for my computer. Still works great, the mic preamps sound great, the pots are fluid and solid, the connectivity options are great.

I wish phantom power was per-channel. As it is, you can activate phantom for channel group 1-4 and channel group 5-8, but not individually. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a huge deal.
