Critic Reviews

Edirol UA20

soundonsound.com

Edirol UA-20 offers a compact and convenient solution for musicians needing both audio and MIDI support in one package. Its 24-bit audio recording, mic, guitar, and line input options are definite pluses. However, it remains limited by a fixed 44.1kHz sample rate and presents some digital playback interference. While its manual could be clearer, the UA-20's ease of use and budget-friendly price make it a strong contender for those needing a USB audio peripheral.
