Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The ur is a great headphone and mic interface. The pre-amps are super quiet. For serious recording, for me, nothing beats a mic on a speaker cabinet, driven by a cranked non-master volume tube amp.

This isn't a big problem since it provides a steady power supply for microphones unlike the ur22 which is prone to dropouts due to fluctuations in usb bus power.

Dsp is fast becoming a standard feature in interfaces even at this price range. Works in conjunction with the dspmixfx software interface. The 8 a/d converters are crisp and deliver outstanding quality. The conversion is very clean and transparent and... Read More

Cubase is a very versatile nice program. It sometimes takes work to configure using the included cubase. The mixer interface within cubase to handle the ur44 routing and settings is a bit clunky at first, but easy once you get the hang of it.

Price

The cost of their 6 channel unit was slightly higher

Packaging/appearance

Superquiet my mackie mixer has some unexplained noise in it so i had to run my rode nt 1 mic directly into the ur242

Thats a good thingi was able to easily dial the rumbling out

Competitiveness

For practice i take a sm58 straight into it and it sounds beautiful

I give it four stars because the preamp and headphone gains could still use a little more oomph it does has enough gain for my ... Read More
