Critic Reviews

Cymatic uTrack 24

soundonsound.com

The Cymatic Audio uTrack24 impresses with its affordability and versatility, serving as a 24-track recorder, player, and ASIO USB interface. Ideal for live sound applications, it offers intuitive operation and a robust feature set, including virtual soundchecks and instant playback. However, its external power supply lacks a cable retainer, and its converter performance is modest compared to high-end competitors, with no pass-through audio output during recording. Still, its cost-effectiveness and potential for future upgrades make it a strong contender for those prioritizing practicality and functionality over cutting-edge specs.

Cymatic Audio uTrack 24 Review

musictech.com

The Cymatic Audio uTrack 24 impresses as a versatile, cost-effective solution for capturing live performances with its 24×24 USB audio interface capabilities packed into a 1U rackmount. Its intuitive design and reliability in recording without a DAW make it a standout for live engineers. However, the drop in channel count at higher sample rates (88.2/96kHz) and lack of mic preamps could be a drawback for some users. Ideal for musicians and engineers needing a dependable playback and recording system, but may require additional gear for optimal use with certain setups.
