Great for smooth entry into the world of home recording

MarekM, 04.11.2014

I have purchase the Ultimate Cubase Recording Pack (Cubase 7 + UR824 mix/rack) at a time when I am returning to the DAW and home recording after almost 20 years. Back then playing in a synthy-pop band, we were everything MIDI on a Cakewalk with SoundBlaster 32 card. And so it was clear to me that unless I take an extensive time off for a long study of all that has changed in the DAW and home recording world since then, I need a good solution to take me through the learning curve. Therefore I decided for the (let's face it a bit pricey) UCRP solution. The installation was a snap, I connected a bunch of my good old friends - N5, K4r, Gibson and a Shure mike and soon I was ready to record my first new tracks. I like the low noise and the intuitive Cubase-integration. My only issue (the reason for the 4 out of 5 start in features) is that the UR824 has an optical connection for digital port while as I have found out most rack effects (that can be used as VST) have coax digital ports - hence a need for additional convertor. But that is nothing major that would lower the overall good feeling about the package.

Best pack for you studio for that price

AlexKartishev, 21.08.2017

First of all, this is the best price in the market for that pack and this is the best price for the value.
I've been using steinberg CL1 + Cubase 5 before just for two channels recording. It was ok, but I've always heard some artifacts after exporting project and was not quite satisfied with sandy sound, recorded using Hi-Z input.
I don't know what have changed in Cubase 9, but these artifacts have gone and sound is amazing now!
I like how this sound card is integrated with Cubase and its inner sound processor is awesome. Also it is possible to add more inputs up to 24 and it will be suitable also for big studio. I like it!

Pros:
Great integration between hardware and software.
Great quality of both
Best price to value ratio

Cons:
If using high gain output pickups on your guitar, Hi-Z input can clip. But you can use padding to fix it.
