Behringer UMC404HD 1-star Reviews

What a piece of unmitigated trash!

Don't buy this piece of junk under any circumstances! If you run a Mac you may be OK. You get double the spec of the competition for the same money and it feels like a solid piece of kit. However, there are problems with the Windows drivers and this is not a secret, just Google it and see. I have spent 90% of my time messing about and almost no time recording. I need to record at 44.1hz to match sound files I have but the Behringer will not adjust (or if it does it quickly flips back). It defaults to 98hz. There is no adjustment in the control panel. If you try and do it from the DAW it has no effect (it just says your sample rate is not supported). If you do it from Windows controls it either works for a short time (and then reverts) or it has no effect. I am at my wits end. I have wasted hours on this problem as well as my money. It's been an issue for some time and Behringer haven't sorted it. If you want to spend your leisure time troubleshooting buy this! If you want to record buy something else. I'm VERY unhappy with this purchase.

Kept using this for way too long

Was having massive issues with my speakers and hiss/ noise coming through. Also the output volume is way too low. Inputting my synths was fiddly and getting the volume right as well. It is easy to setup, and easy controls on the front to manage everything. Apart from that, it's really a poor product.

Bought a different brand, which is also affordable, and a world of difference, my speakers are now driven without hiss/noise, better sound, no hiss/noise on the inputs, and higher gain. Behringer, please do better, especially if you slap the Midas name on it.

no coments

i wonder how a product like this can still be found on the marker. I would define this, at best, a pure scam. Not only the driver (after spending some time to find it..finally) works horribly with a ridicoulous latency, but the audio card allows you to use " up to " 4 entries..which means u can use only 2 contemporarily, and not 4. I wonder what is the practical use of this device, but at least i do understand the price so low...
