Soundcraft Ui24R 5-stars Reviews

All you need.

The best mixer with the best price, recording multi track by just plugging an USB, very small, light, good looking and most practical mixer you can ever get.

The perfect choice

Well, when I initially bought Soundcraft Ui24R I thought that this could be a good replacement to the heavy mixer that I was carrying whenever I was setting and sound engineering a live concert.

And indeed, Soundcraft Ui24R proved it's reputation by far.

I was positively surprised when I realized that the same console, could stand perfectly not only as a concert mixer, but as a more than efficient top quality recording studio.

I cannot find any disadvantage (yet). I am still overwhelmed by the features of Soundcraft Ui24R.

This console seems to provide you limitless choices...

Definitely, I highly recommend Soundcraft Ui24R to anyone who might be interested to such a type of mixing technology.

Perfect in every way

Hello

I have used Ui24R for a year now mainly for live sound and its just great. Easy to carry and sounds wonderful and so easy to adjust monitor mixes etc. with my iPad. All onboard effects and EQ are very good.I would recommend it absolutely.

a big MACHINERY in compact package

Great choice for active bands that performed on many different stages, small clubs. Also it's very useful if the band perform regular on same stages (you can save your tuning for much of them).

It's a big machinery with meny tools and options (wich you'll find easily in reviews) in compact, robuste package.

Our band use in-ear monitor, and I, as a musician, don't have to call our sound ingineer to fix my track in ear, I do it by myself on my phone for every member of band.

what was expected

Exactly what i was looking for

So far using it as a soundcard at home and mixer/recorder for band. Soon to be employed for gigs. Deep functionality which also involves a steep learning curve. But there are good resources available-the facebook ui group.

Soundcraft Ui24R

It's very good mixer. Everything are working perfect The mixer is very practical for all applications. The USB player also works great.

Works very well - easy to use

Used for live sound for a vocal group - 20 mics plus backing tracks. No issues so far, just plug&play. Nice approach with a built-in web browser that can be controlled from any device.

Excellent Sound mixing

It is very easy to use with lot of features. But now also I am confusing how to use the features of USB interface for social media live streaming.

As a quick resume, this is quite a cool tool to use. I bought this console because I always wanted to record drums on separate channels and be able to mix everything separately (until now I only had a 2-input interface). With the 24 channels I am also able to record and mix live my whole band which allows us to make our own sound as we like, and problems like bad monitorization, unbalanced sound in front and on stage should be disappearing.

The software manages to offer all the necessary tools that a mixing engineer, producer or whatever the person has to do with the music this console is used to produce.

At first it may seem a bit hard to understand all the features it has and to navigate through them within the application, but definitely the effort is worth it.

Pros:

-number of channels

-frequency analyzer

-routing options

-control options (wifi,ethernet,interface)

-several cool digitech presets for guitars/basses

-quick record of channels through usb

(-many more that I still have to discover)

Cons:

-intimidating amount of features at start

-maybe the wifi connection (if you do not use its hotspot, did not yet manage to connect through a external wifi)

Great mixer and value for money

Using as the main mixer for a church setup. Very vesratile in terms for controlling via tablets and laptop. Great sound and really satisified with the sound output and the ease of using this mixer.Highly recommended

Amazing Product..

I waited a very long time to write a review for the Soundcraft UI24R but let me tell you it does not disappoint the portability flexibility durability sound and control of this small box is outstanding..!! I faced some small issues but all from my lack of knowledge.. The console functions even today very good and reliable.. For what it is and does the price is just a bonus.. Can't recommend it enough..

Great Mixer!

I've had this mixer for 6 months and I have used it on a lot of large & medium sized functions, smaller pub & bar gigs, and even a small multi-band festival. I can happily say it's fantastic and it's handled every event seamlessly and without any problems.

The user interface is very intuitive, I personally prefer it to the apps on the A&H, Mackie, Pre Sonus and Behringer mixers that I am also familiar with.

20 input channels, lots of auxes, USB input for backing tracks & playlists, USB output for multitrack recording, the list of features goes on and on and is impressive.

99% of the issues people have with this mixers like this (with no physical faders, relying on only software control) are 'operator error', so don't be put off if you see some frustrated users on the Facebook user groups. This mixer will reward the user that reads the manual and puts in the time to properly learn how it works. If you think you can just take it to a gig and learn how to use it there during sound check, I guarantee you will not have a fun night.

I would also say that this is not the best mixer for somebody new to sound engineering.

It's worth inversting in a decent router to ensure stable WIFI connection with your tablet(s). I always have a laptop hard wired to my Ui24R too as a back up contol surface. I've never had any problems but it's always good practise to be prepared for anything.

I am writing this during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, and I'm keeping my playing chops up every day by playing along with the many gigs I have recorded since I got this mixer. The 'soundcheck' mode is awesome! I can play the gig back, minus the original bass track, and play my bass live along with the band. I'm monitoring /mixing the whole band via an aux with my IEMs in so I don't upset the neighbours. This function is proving to be a life saver at the moment.

Considering the price of this unit, the hardware and functionality that Souncraft have squeezed into it, it's amazing. And it's small and light, only 4U tall.

All in all, in the right hands, it's a fabulous mixer.

Great value and incredibly capable

I run sound for a small church and we have been using a Ui16 for a while. We've run out of channels and the Aux IEM set up was quite limited. Hence upgrade to Ui24 - very easy to set up gives us a massive range of input and output and have just started to use the multitrack recording.

great mixer

just perfect easy to use reliable and you can get a multitrack from all your gigs

WOW!!!

I buy 2 of this mixers and use them connected to Cascade mode! Great GUI, easy to use, compatible with almost everything with touch screen (tablet, smartphone, display)... great feature is Ethernet connection and so many rooting options. You can record multi-track all channels in DAW or USB (just need USB faster than 25MB/s). Great feature is mixing your recorded tracks. So you can record soundcheck on USB, after that play it on mixer and make adjustments without your band members!

Quality of recorded tracks is very good! Lot of featurs and great plugins (Lexicon, Digitech, dbx)

5 stars to this product!!!

Excellent choice

I use it in a community Theatre where we put on musicals, and host live bands. We have shows and rehearsals with overlapping times, and needed a desk where we could setup, store and recall settings. In addition, musicals require intensive dynamic mixing between songs and scenes for example different set of singers for each successive scene. The Soundcraft allows us to save the setting per song 'a snapshot' and recall it instantly (well almost, maybe a 1 second delay) as the scene changes. The recording and general clarity is excellent, built in lexicon effects, eq, compressors, noise gates are excellent quality and easy to use once you get used to it. I set it up as a permanent installation with an HDMI monitor, keyboard an mouse, and simultaneously have it connected to a wifi router for mixing on stage during rehearsals and setup using a Tablet or smartphone. Saves running back and forth to the desk which entails climbing up the ladder to our sound and lighting platform.

The only con I have found is that it would be nice to have a sub out that is linked to the master outs. I use an aux out for the sub which is controlled independently which is not ideal for my application. Apart from that it does more than I expected, is light and small for a desk with this many features.

I would recommend this without hesitation.

Best investment in my life

Quality of the preamps is stunning. Lexicon and DBX effects sounds tasty. Overall layout is so incredibly intuitive and super user-friendly. It took me half an hour to get familiar with the mixer completely.

Apart from a really good price, a light weight is also a big benefit while travelling a lot. And of course a multitracking possibility is a game changer in a rack mountable mixers category.

Good quality

It's very good mixer. Everything are working perfect.

Amazing!

Amazing digital mixer, very compact and easy to use.

Easy to handle both "as is" and in a flight case.

As many digital mixer actually on the market you have no physical controls and will adjust everything via software on a pc, tablet or mobile and it will save a lot of space.

The nice feature about it is that you don't need any resource draining app or software as everything is done on a web page!

Yes, you just need a web browser and all the rest is done my the software stored inside the mixer.

It acts as a wifi accessed server, once connected you open the right page (or the IP address) on your browser and you have everything at hand.

There's a lot of stuff here, signal routing can go from very straight and easy to a huge matrix mixing!

Every signle part is top notch, both hardware (connectors, pre amps, etc) and software (effects, routing, controlling software, etc.) is very high quality and it sound amazing!

Once connected to a PC it acts like a very complete audio interface, with lots of ins and outs, even more than the physical ones, and incredible routing possibilities.

It works just perfect for recording with a daw: fast and easy to configure and use it!

A real deal to me!
