It's one of the cheapest options, the casing is almost indestructible (mine has already had two encounters with the ground and is as good as new). The pres are very good, they don't color the sound in any way that I can tell and the AD/DA converters are as good, capable of very high sampling rates.
Never had any problems with my unit.
On features I only gave it 4 stars because there is no Hi-Z switch on channel 1, which would have been nice, meaning you would have to get a DI to record two instruments with mono jack outputs.

The D-Pre pre-amps by Yamaha have a clean sound and go all the way up to 60 dB, although as with all interfaces, you'll definitely notice the noise when cranking the gain all the way up.
The line input sounds nice too and isn't nearly as susceptible to clipping as other similarly priced interfaces that I've tried.
The knobs are very sturdy and feel great. The monitoring mixing knob even has a stop about halfway through in between the input and the playback.
As far as handling goes, I haven't had any issues with latency whatsoever but an annoying issue I do have is that when I switch the phantom power on or off, the entire interface locks up for about 2 to 3 seconds, meaning that I'm unable to hear anything for a few seconds.
When it comes to monitoring, I mainly use headphones (Sony MDR7506) and I'm perfectly happy with the amount of gain but it might be worth looking into a separate headphone amp when using pairs with higher impedances.
Coming from the Focusrite 2i4 and the Zoom U24, I do find myself missing the option to output to both TRS and RCA, but I can't blame Steinberg for that. Hopefully that'll be included in a future iteration.
In short, if you're looking for a great budget interface, I'm happy to say that this one won't disappoint you.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) As far as quality, every now and then I experience short audio cuts which I think is due to the drivers. I tun Windows 10 and I have gone through all steps of optimizing my PC and OS for music production but I think this is due to drivers.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) Sturdy and solid, great nobs feel, mobile and a great recording quality (especially if you help it with a decent mic and room acoustic treatment)
cons: the no latency monitoring is dry, can't use any effect with it.
But, at this price point im 100% satisfied! i think the UR44 is my next upgrade.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) There is only one con, the headphone volume is low, and has nothing to do with my headphones. I have to use an headphone amp to get that bonus dBs.
It does what it says. Im very very very happy with it.
Hope you find this review useful

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) First of all, the device comes with everything ready. It is very easy to install and start using it. The license included for CUBASE it is awesome. The device itself is heavy, not difficult to handle it... but you can not expect to be moving it around. The steel casing, however, provides a rigid and solid feeling, which is welcome.
The inputs are perfect for beginners and medium level users. All the features work perfectly and it is very useful to have manual controllers at the front to manage volumes, input signal, etc. The phantom option for microphones is another key point, as well as the high impedance input for those of us trying to start recording guitars with plugins.
I bought this interface looking for something to start recording, not something specially cheap, with all the necessary features, and either massively expensive. Therefore, I just can say it is all I expected.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) I feel a little hunger for high frequency reproduction especially on low volume - i compared this device with Yamaha MG10XU and i prefer Yamaha. Also, get external power supply instead of relying on PC to power this up.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) I do own a much more expensive UAD interface, with better preamps and AD/DA conversion, and much wider set of features.
I use the Steinberg at home, and for its price - it's just great.
Pros:
-usable mic amps and headphone outputs.
-Cubase software
-Midi interface
-Stable

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) 1) There is no way to power the ipad from the interface. That would have been nice to have, especially as you have to power the interface separately so I would have thought it would have been quite a simple step to send power through to the ipad. Having said that, a fully charged ipad will give you hours of studio time so it's not too much of a headache (just make sure you have a fully charged ipad before you begin your recording session).
2) The headphone output is not very loud. It's good enough, but I do prefer headphones to be driven with more output.
The interface also works well on computer too (although I have that covered with Roland Octacapture, but it's good to have a standby).
In conclusion, a very useful device for hooking up to the ipad for occasional use.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) I use it almost every day on demo recordings. It deals with guitar, bass, keys and microphones with no problems. The software I use is mainly fl studio and Cubase and it is super easy to set the UR22 up.
The build quality is superb. It's nice and heavy with no jiggly plastic bits.
From my experience (about a year now) I can say only positive things, and I would definietly recommend it

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) I dont use them but it also has 2 midi interfaces like in the more expensive Roland unit.
So full feature set, excellent sound quality, perfect box for the price, I dont see any cons.

Send report Automatically translated (Show original) Original review (Show translation) There's no detectable latency when I connect my guitar into one of the inputs and output the signal from the UR22 to my amplifier in real time, using Guitar Rig for processing the signal.
The preamps have good gain, if you're recording VERY quiet sources with low output microphones maybe you'll need something like a Fethead or Cloudlifter though, cos' the preamps are a little bit noisy when at 90%-100% gain.
The headphone output is a bit weak, that is the only bad thing I can say about this interface. Probably the best interface at this price point.
