![]() ![]() But it simply does not hold up to my needs no more. It pains me to give it 2 stars, considering how much priceless experience I’ve got out of it myself. But not necesarily record anything on a professional level. I would recommend this to someone on a tight budget with a lot of free time, who wants to start experimenting, and better understand what it means to record stuff. At that point I’ve used this device on a weekly basis for more than 2 years.īut I would not recommend this to anybody who actually plans to use this to create stuff, as it will not do your takes justice. In other words it was the perfect entry interface for me personally. ![]() I have mixed feeling about this piece of equipment, as by the time I finally decided to upgrade, I’ve been through it all, and learned a lot about many things, which helped me make a well informed choice. But again, I don’t know if this is due to the interface’s manufacturing or other factors outside of Behringer’s control. I also had difficulty setting it up for live streaming. ![]() (I suppose this is mostly a windows-problem rather than the interface’s fault, as it worked flawlessly together with my old trusty mac). I say this, but I still remember having to spend a considerable amount of time installing ASIO drivers to make this thing work as i wanted it to when switching to Windows. It has ‘industry-standard’ features which familiarizes the newbeginner with different parts of the process of recording stuff. ĭespite the fact that I don’t trust this piece of equipment enough to create music with it I can not deny the fact that it truly is plug and play. This annoying rattle becomes unbearable even when the knobs are set at the half-way point. The interface has a very loud and distinct self-noise, almost chime like in the upper register. It frustrated me that the sound I got into my DAW was not the same I heard from my instruments. It did not take long however untill I was left craving for more. Whenever I got my behringer um2 when I plugged in my headset and mic there’s always this ugly hissing/static noise I installed the drivers that still doesn’t go away any help Hello there Seth with Music Tribe Are you using and USB splitters or adaptors Have you tried manually uninstalling all drivers. It opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Thats why were kicking it up a notch with the amazing UM2, an ultra-compact 2 x 2, 48 kHz USB interface with a studio-grade XENYX Mic Preamp, combination XLR/. It was with this piece of equipment i learned how to record takes. I am new to using instruments through the computer, but this made it really easy to get started. It's good it has signal LED's to show when it can register signal, and it also has a clip LED so you easy can adjust input gain to a normalized level. Pros/Cons: Build quality is actually quiet good, though the knobs would have gotten a better "touch" if there were made en metal instead of plastic, but that is just a cosmetic feel. I'm using both acoustic Western Guitar and Electric Guitar with the UM2, and the result for clean sound is awesome. Monitoring is also nice, it can be used easily to monitor the inputs directly throug headphones. Output sound quality is good, which means that the UM2 has a good D/A converter build in. My speakers have analogue RCA input, which works well with the UM2. Using the UM2 as sound output on the iMac is quiet nice, as the iMac has no other output than headphones or Bluetooth, where BT has a delay, using the UM2 there basically isn't any delay. Sound quality from inputs are really good. Both inputs gain can easily be adjusted by the two knobs on the UM2. In Logic Pro X you are presented with two Inputs (1 & 2), 1 goes for Mic/Line 1 and 2 for Instrument fx. Thoroughly pleased with the results, and in fact a bit astonished at the quality.įor the record, this is a (approximately) 10-yr-old Asus laptop.I use the UM2 for connecting to my iMac for recording and controlling both Guitar and Mic inputs. It was also working in the KXStudio live version, but I did not like the KDE interface and the theme was too gloomy and difficult to read at times, so I installed AV Linux as dual boot alongside openSUSE. Bass guitar sounds perfect to me, as well.Īll I did was plug in the Behringer, followed the AV Linux directions in the manual to launch and set up Jack in mere moments, launched Ardour, set up a session and immediately started recording. I am using it in AV Linux with Ardour and I am very impressed with its performance, especially for such an inexpensive, basic starter unit.Īn old Shure Unisphere A PE585 dynamic mic from the early 1970s brings in the sound crystal clear without any noise (that I can detect, anyway), and a Gibson ES-335 Guitar plugged into the 2nd input on the 202 comes in clean, gorgeous and about as perfect as you can get. The Behringer UPHORIA UMC202HD works like a charm in AV Linux and in KXStudio. ![]()
