Steinberg UR44C 5-stars Reviews

Great grey* box

You get onboard DSP (very low latency) effects (EQ, Compressor, Reverb, some Amps) essential for recording, live performances, or podcasting (it has ingenious special features for that). The REV-X reverb has manageable set of parameters. The dspMixFx mixer app is quite nice, so is the iOS version. It can be bus powered, or with the included power supply. It remembers last settings, so it can even be used without any USB device. * Also comes in red. But would you pay a premium for it to look like an inferior competitor product? I certainly wouldn't.

Top Quality Audio Interface

Solid quality for on-the-move as well as in the home studio. Works flawlessly with Steinberg's Cubase (versions 11 and 12). I use it mainly in my home studio with a microphone, bass guitar, electric guitar, 12 sting guitar, acoustic guitar, Nashville guitar, and a Yamaha P-125a digital piano. Monitors are Yamaha HS5 MP, cables from Cordial - there's nothing to complain about - great results every time. Having two outputs is often very useful. The MIDI I (rarely) use for some old, old, old Yamaha gear (FM synth and Drum Machine). I can highly recomment this bit of kit.

Quality and Stability

Before this sound card I used, Steinberg UR24 MKII, I like this line) I decided to make an upgrade, the perfect solution for this money.

Steinberg UR44C : Quality

Good quality for both recording and monitoring.

In the price range it is unbeatable

PROS Solid construction. Good sound quality, rather complete software supplied, very simple software interface.

CONS limited routing possibilities, but at this price I don't think you can ask for the moon

I switched from UR22 to UR44C

The ''new design'' is not so new. Just different hull color, VOLUME KNOW Led light and absolutely the same ergonomic.

Most interesting things are inside this new box.

The headphone amp has plenty of gains and a good bottom end, two headphone outputs same time(wow). Feels like studio monitors sound little bit louder and cleaner with this soundcard.

I hope to test it with 3-way sound studio monitors.

Always grateful when I buy something, plug it in and it works as expected. If you're looking for stability, this is your interface.

Solid, reliable, snappy

Very pleased with this interface, great sound quality, tight latency control, preamps are perfect unless you have super high end demands (in which case you'll be spending a lot more), integration with Cubase is a nice bonus and the bundled software is actually useful.

It doesn't get in the way of what I am trying to achieve and i haven't found anything annoying about it so far.

The only con i can think of is perhaps it would be nice to have a more graphical peak meter... but that's nit picking.
