Universal Audio Volt 476P

Best sound - no USB artefacts

I have looked for the perfect USB interface that did not have artefacts, HDD noise over the USB connection. Without giving names - 476P was the one that did not have these issues, and i have tried so many before this one.

On board compression is excellent and i have recorded the best vocals in years with it! Well done, Recommended.

All good - a software interface would have been better

Many functionalities and connectivities, Sounds great. Two headphoe outs are really handy. Only thing is its not very much intuitive about monitoring. And often monitor levels are low. A software interface would have been great!

Well-rounded Interface

A solid audio interface with plenty to like:

1. Great pre-amps on all channels - vocals sound clean and uncoloured, electric guitar/bass sound rich even through DI.

2. Intuitive hardware design - IO are easy to access, layout of buttons and knobs are good, meters are clear.

What could be better:

Shared phantom power button - having 1 button shared across all channels could potentially damage your mics if not mindful.

Reasons to go for a different option:

Lack of expandability - doesn't have spdif for additional inputs. If you want spdif expandability, go for the Audient ID44 MKii, which is its direct competitor.

Why you should get the Volt 476p:

Sounds good, looks good and comes with a number of great plugins. Along with the Audient ID44, this is probably the best bang for the buck mid-range interface.

For this price range this is one of the BEST!

I bought this as a backup to my apollo twin mkii for my mobile station paired with a macbook pro, I've tried to record & mix with this interface and it sounds good, for tracking I prefer not to use the vintage pre so I can edit further or reprint using my neve 1073dpa, IMO overall this machine is looks great & sounds very decent

Not compatible with AMD processors!

The product itself is qualitatively nice and feels really good. But beware that the drivers are not compatible with AMD. I came across this problem when trying to connect via the MIDI interface and unfortunately had to return the interface.
