I just want to say thank you for these videos. Someone like me, who loves making music and has no money really appreciates these videos and all the hard work and HONEST reviews.

This was perfect. You covered literally everything I wanted to know and in a simple straight forward way. Thanks!

wow that was nice playing on that guitar

You were a BIG help. I watch these KZfaq reviews and they skip some details assuming we're all semi-pros and know what comes next. I thank you for explaining the XLR inputs as well as what actually needs to go to the computer USB wise and their corresponding adapters. For my current purposes this set up with the BM800 mic will get me where I need to go for now reducing latency issues along with the back ground noise I was experiencing with my SAMSON C01U usb mic, thanks. Also, the investment won't break me so I can take care of this immediately.

Another great video. THANKS especially for the tip about how to fix the issue of the output going to left speaker only -- I found the same fix works on my Scarlett Solo. That was driving me crazy. Thanks again!!

La mejor review de esta interface, pros, contras, defectos, calidad de audio, video y la informacion precisa. Excelente trabajo!!

Mate hi from UK. Your videos are so informative and they have been ridiculously helpful I’m setting up my whole home studio based on your content and I think you’re brilliant at your job. Well done and thanks 👍

Your video was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share the info!!

Thumbs up for good editing and being (mostly) concise.

02:51 That's what I wanted to hear, probably goin with this one. Recording guitar with a cheap mic is frustrating as hell.

Normally I have to click around through several videos to get a run-through of every feature, plus some knowledgeable opinion about how it compares to similar items. But you covered it all, really quickly, and in an easy-to-understand way. Thanks!!!

Great video I just ordered one of these last week and so far have been quite happy with it.

I've decided to buy this for home studio. Thank you!

6:17 thank you so much for this information!

it's weird but my concern is getting the 3.5mm to 1/4th adapter, any 3.5mm extender or adapter I've gotten is all in mono and since I do gameplay videos, when listening, I need to have the stereo audio, can any post an amazon link to a proper working stereo 3.5mm to 1/4th adapter?

This is really useful. I need an audio interface and this is the only one I found with a bang-for-your-buck price. Hapy to see that it'll solve some other problems that I didn't imagine it would. Now to save!

Looks good! You know whats great about this! It doesn't need a Power adapter for the Phantom... Just one USB connection is enough!

Just a quick addition - definitely plug your guitar to the instrument input, not the combo input - that one is prepared for mic and line signals. Guitars output very quiet signal and putting them through a line input causes an impedance mismatch. Basically, the interface is trying to "pull current" from the guitar - that'd be fine for a big synthesiser which has a powerful output, but not so good for a guitar which has passive pickups and therefore can only output so much. Long story short, with the combo input through a TRS jack you'll lose some of the highs. Using the instrument input solves the issue.

Thank you for this interview, 4 real. I just got another piece of audio hardware. I was looking at getting this as my next item as it is really affordable. I'll keep looking though, just to make sure I'll have no buyer's remorse later. I was thinking about the Tascam too. So, who knows what I'll settle on.

Good video thanks for posting brother, this information was very helpful.

very nice concise review--as usual!

do you recomend this for singing and using guitar? Thank you. love your videos!

I just ordered one of these. I stoked and this review is great. I am excited to use the product.

This video was absolutely perfect. Just on it all the way with the instruction. Great stuff, thanks.

You have absolutely no clue how many times I have watched this video. This was insanely helpful in helping me make a decision investing in an audio interface for my home studio. Your channel has been nothing but help to me for the last year. -Your earthling

Thank you for this great video! Is it possible to listen to previous recorded tracks (playback) and the input over the headphones while you are recording? For example if you want to record a solo guitar over a rythm guitar in cubase?

Awesome video man! I was in search of an interface to accommodate the new PC I just built. Your presentation was very informative, generously stating the pros and cons of the device and ultimately helping me find the perfect interface for my needs! I immediately liked and subscribed, keep up the great work!

A few minutes in listening to you and I am so impressed. You explain things I can understand. Can you guide me to the most simple and basic gear (and economical) that I need to put my vocals and guitar on KZfaq and wherever else I can put it out there. Thanks !

It allows you to record simultaneously a mic and a guitar? Thanks

Better than the line 6 shit out there. My god... I bought a toneport when they first came out and I was so mad at how noisy the mic gain was. i keep it down almost all the way and just turn up the vocals post recording so it's usable. The pre amp for the headphones or jack, whatever, stopped working right after I got it and they didn't give a shit back then about customer service so i got shafted on warranty (they said it was my fault lol, yeah, ok). Plastic housing similar to this with much less. Supposedly zero latency, but it crashes my pc all the time. Have to update, but I'm probably going to go with the UMC22 after seeing this reminds me of how crappy the build is for line 6. Thanks for the review. Also, for those getting line 6 gear, something to think about, if you ever upgrade to a better interface, you have to pay them extra money for an ilok or something to use their software without using the interface. They're cheap bastards.

Thanks for the help on this UM2 vid.

This is great this video has helped me confirm the purchase with this item I’m a starting out artist build a at home studio to record and I had a concern for the phantom power, because the akg p120 mic I bought has just that and now I can start calmly I’m starting with garage band for awhile til I learn the ropes of it after that sometime down the line I’ll get Logic Pro but I know some artist who only use garage band to record everything so I really appreciate this review and I can tell you were honest ! Big thing bout some of these reviews fr !

Hi! I know this is kinda late, but I have a question. Is the "Tonor USB Clear Digital Sound SF-922B Microphone" compatible with a PS4? You did a review on it so I thought you might know. Thanks! You earned your self a subscriber and a like!

Recently upgraded from UM2 to UMC204HD.....while the UMC204 is a more sophisticated build I still like the UMC2 and it's bottle-top buttons.....I'm keeping it in mothballs in case the Borg attack. Would recommend the UM2 for anyone looking for a first AI.

Love your reviews! Thank you so much :)

Thank you; I learned more than just review of the mixer.

6:04, that's what you came here for.

Perfect. This is what I'm looking for as an alternative for the freaking expensive Focusrite!

One thing worth addressing that a lot of these reviews (not just yours) don't cover is whether or not the USB signal provides In AND Out monitoring (i.e., streaming applications). Awesome review as always.

Thanks for the review man!

I found the driver information and here is what it says in the EULA for the UM2 "ASIO4ALL USB Audio Driver - Combined 32/64-bit 3rd party driver for Windows - Supports Windows XP to 7 (32/64-bit) - For OS X no drivers required" My OS is X.

I use it with guitar, bass and it sounds awesome. Great value for money! 24 bit, Hi-Z instrument input, phantom power when needed. Yes the knobs are wobbly but on my desk there are no issues. Works great

I just recently purchased the behringer 1input/ and I must say man with the right drivers updated, A Decent "DAW" And Plugins/Mic/Mixing/.. Your Sound Should Be 👍....

Good clear explanations and demo on each feature. Beginner audiophiles like me might also benefit by doing a "do I need a DAC" search. Audio from my computer can also be routed through the DAC to an amplifier-tuner to listen to MP3 audio. So thanks. .

can i put a mic on "inst gain 2 " using a 6,3 mm adapter? does that also take advantage of the phantom power?

hey would you recommend this for a starting broke producer who wants to record music with his friends?

love you vids man just wondering can you do more headset reviews pleaseeeeee

I use mine as a second interface. Useful when recording VOIP. I'll have my daw recording with my primary interface and recording the PC audio from the headphone jack, and I'll have a send out to the other audio interface with our podcast mics. You can technically just send the mic audio to your computer mic input, but I've never had good luck with that. It's also very good just as a pc sound card. I tend to use it over my built in PC audio.

I got the Behringer UMC22, it just a few dollars more expensive but the build quality seems much better : full metal body, sturdy front knobs, and non-wobbly XLR and Jack connectors. I can't compare preamp quality (UMC22 comes with a Midas preamp and not a Xenyx like the UM2) but after testing it has low noise if you don't go over the top with microphone gain. Important thing to note : UMC22 output is 2x 6.35mm Jack and NOT RCA. I definitely recommend the UMC22 over the UM2 :)

does the usb cable for your computer come with it or do you have to buy it separately

Great review. Objective and Detailed. Thanks. Robert, Mtl.

This was really helpful thank you

Two seconds in and the first thing I see is Elliott Smith's Figure 8

Three thoughts: First, that's a decent step up from using the little USB sound card. Second, you really tear on the guitar! That was awesome. And third, the Xenyx preamps are decent for a budget system. Their Midas preamps in their UMC series are slightly more expensive and a step up from that. But for those that care, according to Behringer, their UMC series isn't class compliant.

This was a very helpful review.:thanks

i have one of these guys, i like it, i think its great for intro level for any caster and musician

nice for twitch

That song was lit

Your review helped me a lot, thank you

Thank you man for the help

0:43 DE is German (as in DEutschland) :)

3:22 what adapter for the headphones

I'm not an audio tech wiz and while looking for a preamp for my AT2020 (after my blue icicle broke and tbh I didn't want a replacement because I never really liked it) i came across this device, but could not figure out what kind of input that was! I need XLR and it looked liked it had holes for 3 XLR pins, but it didn't look like any basic XLR input i've ever seen. Thanks to you in the video I learned that it's a combo port that supports XLR and I'm sure I'll be buying this, especially as it seems cheaper and better than blue icicle :D Thank you!

very helpful. very informative. thank you.

do i need phantom power?

This channel is perfect for me. I am a beginner podcaster and this gives WAY better instruction on equipment function then the instruction manuel does

Very informative. Thank you.

Thanks for the video, man!

3:30 hahaha

Wow they even copied the packaging from Steinberg :D

Thanks! Buying this along with XM8500 mike for zoom meetings and gaming (Hell Let Loose). Already own HD 569 headset and i didn't want ordinary mic headset so this should not only be cheap but also sound good. So far i've been using nearly 20-y-o cheap sellotape-bandaged headset (amazing that it still works!) with mike and let me just say people were not happy with the audio quality. I was just lazy and never bothered to pick sth better.

Might pick this up for my Microphone set up, seems to be good value for money, when comparied to something like the focursrite Scarlett Solo interface

Great video! Beginner musician here , college kid on a tight budget, Squire Bullet Strat, Line6 Spider, etc. using Reaper for free lol. Didn’t want to shell out $75 for a Focusrite, because I suck and can’t justify the expense, saw these on a flash sale at AMS for $25 shipped, thought I’d give it a try. Should be here in a few days, can’t wait!

Thanks, helpful review! I need to upgrade from my old Mackie Onyx Satellite, which as a FireWire connection that I can no longer use on my new iMac. Just wondering: why doesn't anyone connect RCA to USB?

RESPECT DUDE .. love what u doing

Thank you for this. Very helpful. 💕

Great review

Has anyone used this with an iPad or iPhone via the Lightning to USB adapter? I would imagine it would need a USB hub to power, but not sure if it is class compliant and therefore compatible with iOS. I’ve had a lot of folks asking me this but can’t find any confirmation online.

Totally surprised me with that immediate guitar masterpiece. Here here!

I own one myself and I plan on upgrading soon.

dude it was reallyy realllyy helpful.. please keep doing this..

Very helpful👍 I liked and subbed!!!

super helpful!! thank you!

thx for the great content. can you make a top 5 budget audio interface.

Thumbs'ed up at 6:05 LOL well done

I ordered this and it just came in today! I'm pretty impressed with it so far,the buttons aren't loose or anything. I just can't wait until my AT2035 comes in! It doesn't sound to bad on the bm800.

thank you for your information. it very good.

AWESOME review

Great video! can you compare this to the 302usb for recording vocals and guitars?

awesome u hit over 2 k subs can't wait till u hit 3k

I always watch your channel over any other when it goes to audio. You do a great job on helping to decide if a product is good or not. Keep up the good work

Dude, thank you SO much for the warning... I had to send a $2,000 monitor audio silver speaker off for repair the other day because of someone else NOT doing that in mic comparison vid. 😑

You the man

Can you record 2 separate mono tracks in your DAW simultaneously with this or is one stereo track the optimum?

Hey love the vid And I have a question..would this be compatible for iPhone 8?

Thank you for the very good video, mate! Love your cool Tele Deluxe, too! 😀👍 I have started using the 'Audacity' DAW recently, on an older HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with AUX-in, and when I play an instrument straight into the laptop, I hear the sound through my headphones with a few milliseconds delay; Do you reckon this interface would remedy that problem? I tried fixing it via the sound card's settings but without the slightest success 😭 🙂

Thank you for review. i need to reduce latency from my midi keyboard without losing quality of the sound. do i still need to use asio4all driver after i plug this little miracle in to the PC ?

So you connect the mic to the usb audio interface, and then to the computer?

Nice review brother thx!
