Well made design, but many problems with the drivers and hardware

JustinasK, 03.04.2019

PROS: I love that its made from metal, feels very good in your hands and provides a sense of confidence. XLR mount is very stable and the knobs feel secure and rigid. Features give yout everything for small studio work. 10 points for design and overal exterior build. Thats all for the PROS.

CONS: For WIN users: what I hate, as many other people, is that Behringer doesn't provide their own dedicated WIN drivers for UMC22 and you're left with Asio4all which is outrageous! Asio4all is not even working correctly on WIN10 after certain update some time ago. If you want small buffer size, Asio4all is going to crash on you or make bad noises eventualy. Thats a shame, because I know that some time ago UMC22 worked flawlesly with Asio4all and provided very small latency. Anyways there are many recommendations to use older Behringer drivers from other users (BEHRINGER_2902_X64_2.8.40), which you can google. It works for many with less issues Asio4all (with the "rapid" option selected in the Behringer drivers settings), but Behringer themselves don't recommend it anymore for some reason.

I should point out, that I had my unit returned for money back. One of the reason is the driver issues, mentioned above, which leaves your very well built unit practicaly unusable. Another reason lies with white noise levels on MIDAS preamp. It was very audible, when I cranked the mic gain pass 70 percent, but I only got minus 20 dB (or less) on my DAW, so in the end you are left with bad noise on your recording after final mixing. I'm not sure if it was drivers' problem or a hardware fault. This may not occure on every Behringer unit, because I also tested another UMC22 unit of my friend with no issues whatsoever, but I've read a lot that the same problems as mine are very common.

That said, I think it could still be usable for beginners and you could get good results from the interface on the condition that you got a working unit (with no noise issues). Also, I should note that UMC22 is better to be used with MAC and not WIN systems, because of the serious driver issues (lack of them) with WIN10.

Great Interface for that price

En1gma, 27.02.2020

I've bought it to connect my Electric Guitar to my pc and use it for recording and overall practice using a virtual amp simulator that allows me to use various different sounds without the need to buy expensive Amps or Pedals.

It is made out of Metal so it looks sturdy and can probably withstand some abuse.
The sound is as great as it can be for a 40 Euro Interface but theres nothing to worry about regarding noice levels and connectivity, i've had no problem connecting it to my Windows 10 machine and my DAW.

I would really recommend this Interface if you are on a pretty tight budget like i am

Not recommended if you also use it as a sound card.

SaWtHrOaT, 03.07.2019

I just bought this thing last week. I needed something cheap and simple to double as both an audio interface and as a sound card.
Recording wise, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Nothing more and nothing less. That works fine for me since I have no need for more high end equipment to record my bass guitar. And although driver support is absolutely worthless, I did manage to set it up, using the suggested older Behringer drivers. But using it as a sound card, is more than horrible. When I listen to stuff on Youtube and then switch to whatever mp3 player I use on my computer, the sound is slowed down to rather annoying levels. I have to troubleshoot/reinstall the device and/or drivers every time I make that switch, which is incredibly frustrating. Then I decided to completely remove all Behringer drivers and for some reason, my computer still recognised it as the primary sound device, which I found rather strange. Needless to say I will be returning this device and opt for another interface. One that DOES have it's own drivers. I have never had this kind of problem with any of the interfaces (same price range, same quality range) I used to own.

Bought as a trial into recording on my laptop

Milky, 24.03.2019

I bought this products as a trial to see how difficult it is to record direct to my DAW compared to micing up an amp. it is a lot easier this way thats for sure.

First the good- It feels very solid with its metal frame and all the knobs feel very solid. it has a light for signal which is very useful to see a visual sign everything is working. it has enough features if like me you are starting out in the world of audio interfaces or likewise if you are wanting a small audio interface. it has a input to fit multiple types of connection and also an additional instument jack,

Cons - it is very difficult to get set up as the drivers on the website didnt work on my laptop (win 10) so i had to spend a few hours googling and i found that the drivers for another audio interface made by the same brand worked. there is also sligt background noise but for the money it is expected and it is hardly noticable.

If you want to get into the world of audio interfaces or wanted a small and simple one i would get this!
