An astonishing mess that can still work

I bought the Behringer UMC22 so that I could record my Roland U-220 at a decent quality so that I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning up all my recordings, due to an insane amount of noise floor I was getting from my older recording method. Unfortunately, the UMC22 in modern times is a quite astonishing mess that can still work, with a lack of driver support (instead giving you ASIO4all drivers on their site) and issues with a lack of drivers like sound popping and inteferance it still works and can power my beyerdynamic DT990s 250ohms without it sounding quiet or off.

As well as that, you can 'hack it' to record in Stereo using both inputs if you feel like doing a bit of setup in your DAW, simply buy two compatible rec cables and plug them into each input, align the volume knobs on the front to match by ear and then pan the channels in your DAW and record away! If you've set it up correctly it'll be in Stereo, this is what I did to save on a bit of money, and it worked lol

nice, small and compact

so far i'd say this is a great audio interface for a few uses which mainly involve instrument DI recording. you could also just use this as an adapter for mics which is ok but you really should not be recording using mics on this, considering it only has 1 XLR input

Gets the job done

The UMC22 does the job of connecting to your computer and interfacing with your DAW for very cheap. On MacOS it's very intuitive to setup because it's a Core Audio compliant device, no software drivers needed. The metal chassis is a nice touch at this price point and it's light and portable. The latency is not bad and the Midas preamps are... acceptable. The DI apparently maxes out at 16 bits and 48 kHz which probably isn't suitable for a professional producer, but it fits my needs.

5 stars for my uses

I don't have a trained ear and am most certainly not an expert on audio interfaces but this device allows me to do everything I need to. The XLR + 1/4" combo jack comes in handy quite a lot. I can use this to multitrack record into GarageBand as I only ever use a guitar and vocals or a piano and vocals at the one time. The device is portable and best of all cheap to buy so it's great for beginners like me. Overall, for my uses, this is a great audio interface.

Great for interfacing instruments with computer.

I got this mostly to use with a condenser microphone; however the mic/line 1 is a dual use XLR and 1/4" jack. I have used this to device to record my bass guitar into FL studio as well as play Rocksmith 2014. It works great. It can take a bit of tweaking to adjust the input gain so its not too clippy but it definitely does the job.

Works nice

Was my first audio interface and I still have it!

I'm not using rn it as my first one becouse I needed more inputs, but I take it as a portable interface in travels now, I sold my Presonus Audiobox couse this one already does what I need

The only problem is the plastic, feels cheap and fragile in the outside

Best budget interface

I like for a price and the sound are great. And a Bad thing is The Rf radio frequency

Una interfaz simple

Esta interfaz cumple con lo que promete, tiene pocas entradas y salidas pero es suficiente para empezar.

Good enough interface

Works out of the box with KXStudio distribution of Linux.

Not bad.

It gets the job done but I am going to save and get a good Focusrite interface.
