Behringer UMC404HD Reviews

I cannot recommend this enough.

These MIDAS preamps are fantastic for the price! this Interface is going in my case every day and It's made my life so much easier. It's also built like a tank and there is no latency, the output options are plentiful, and there is MIDI In/Out. why spend 3 or 4 times as much on a Focusrite cause in my opinion this will match that. that being said... I'd still prefer an Apollo any day. I have one that I use as my everyday interface and I just installed another into a Hauptwerk organ project I was doing.

A lot of kit for not a lot of money

Excellent interface. Am using with Cubase 10.5. Works really well - very quiet and easy to use.

Basically Berhinger classic

Behringer make what you want for less, and this is basically that. 4 inputs, phantom power, and decent quality, for much less than the Scarlett equivalent.

While both Scarlett and Behringer make quality products, this is a metal bodied 4 input machine with a super ow price range. Very Versatile, good quality

Good and convenient!

– Great support with Mac, just Plug and Play

– Nice options for outputs and inputs

– A big like for understandable and simple controls on a FRONT! panel wich is very handy to place it on desk or rack

– Good overall quality

I simply like it!

The best audio interface

This is the best and the cheapest audio interface with 4 slots and man i used this interface for 2 years and still good as the moment i get it.It has a midas filter for al the slots and its very easy to connect but you need drivers for windows but for mac you dont need any drivers.I can recommend this audio interface for the people who have lots of instruments

Great Quality / Price

Awesome little card for the price !

i won't its an incredible soundcard as its rather entry level kinda equipment , but i'm very satisfied of this soundcard !

Great buy for anyone looking for a cheap and useful soundcard or for starting out !!

Excellent!

Item does exactly what it's supposed to do. Easy to work with, reliable and very well constructed.

Almost perfect

First off, the build quality is absolutely fantastic. I can't even imagine ANY interface built better than this one. (dont buy a focusrite, this is cheaper and has more chanels and it sounds just as good!)

Secondly this thing is FEATURE PACKED! I mean it! WOW! It has basically everything you're ever gonna need!

Now, why did I say it's almost perfect?

Well while it has 48 volts of phantom power. It's a master switch, meaning if you enable it, all inputs get phantom power instead of being able to select just one. This is okay though as I rarely ever use the feature anyways.

Great build quality, sound, noise floor is the best I've seen in the price range, easy to use, just fantastic looking aswell...

Absolutely amazing product. if mine got stolen I'd replace it right away. What a great piece of kit!

Great for the price

Well put together with a sturdy feel and the four inputs come in very handy. There aren't many interfaces at this price point with this many features. I use it with an ipad so connect via the camera connection kit, it works but can be temperamental and I haven't been able to make it work with older ipads, so if you're looking to use it with an ipad air or anything older than that you may have to look elsewhere. Overall though I'd say it's a good buy.

Nice product

Feels very sturdy !

Just a litlle more hum than my other interfaces (Steinberg and Presonus) depending on the kind of input that you make.

But qua price / quality ratio "UNBEATABLE".

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.

I should have bought this the first time! (for podcasting)

I really think that this is an excellent piece of kit for podcasting, its perfect because you have 4 mic/line inputs which means you can have an incoming live skype call and music/background sounds while you record your voice as well - all on separate tracks for processing later. This unit also has MIDI I/O which is a bonus, and i really like the mono button to do mono reference listening.

There's loads of versatility on the back with multiple outs and inserts, the sound is as good as it gets to my ears.

One minor issue is the clip leds, i wish they had an orange before the red (i.e. green, orange and red) for the input level metering, because if you clip, it really sounds horrible. I had to re-take 3 times whilst getting to know that, and who stares at their input meters when being creative! But get used to that and no problem.

Overall, a fantastic bit of kit at a great price which is perfect for my podcasting.

The perfect interface for a home studio.

I have bought the interface to use in my studio and I am amazed by the quality of it.

The build quality is great for the price and gives a sense of high durability. The 4 inputs at the front are very stable and the buttons are very smooth and easy to use. When recording instruments it is great and the lights at the front are extremely useful to prevent the sound from clipping. The preamp in the interface is also great and gives a very clean sound to the microphone. It is very flexible with the addition of the pad button on each channel allowing you to increase the gain further on and leave headroom. The main outputs are also great, they give the option of using either XLR or TRS to XLR which is fantastic in case your monitors only have one of the following options.

On top of that the setup is extremely simple, if you are a Mac user you don't even need drivers, you just need to plug it in and start playing. Although Behringer is not appreciated by certain people the product truly speaks for itself and is worth considering.

Can’t fault this excellent bit of kit.

Great value for money.

BANGER

This is so lit, using for podcast purposes.

Really good budget choice

Don't want to put 400€ to a external sound card? I recommend this one. Everything works fine and sounds out nice and it looks good too!

Worked straight out of the box

Connected with Win10 based laptop. Worked right away. Plugged it in and all good. I like the sturdy chassis. So far so good.

No noise, great Interface

Previously had Focusrite, this beast is way better :)

Excellent for the price

I got this audio interface to connect all my instruments to my PC. It has very low latency and works well for recording guitar directly to your PC.

It's very feature complete and can definitely recommend for this price.

Probably the best money can buy (Windows 10)

Really impressive, as far as low cost interfaces go. The preamps are great, I doubt you'll find better at this price with the features. There's inserts for each channel too, which you won't often find on smaller interfaces. Build is solid, weighty, less flimsy than I imagined - it feels quality. Knobs and switches are smooth and feel solid.

My only gripe is that I didn't just go ahead and buy the UMC1820 instead!
