This interface is very good but your review is only bla bla bla and no Demo.
I agreed, this asshole is just full of himself
Great review! I bought 2 of these for my boys to use live and record with Arturia, MainStage, Logic, Omnisphere, TAL-U-NO-LX, Native Instruments etc in Pro Tools & Logic! Love how they sound and work, built well and LOVE the price point! Great way to get my boys learning signal flow and basic recording techniques! Thanks again!!
Hey man next time less "This looks really good next to my MacBook Pro" and more describing the quality and noise levels of the inputs and outputs.
You should watch Julian Krause's review of that product. He explained it very clearly from the noise floor to the microphone impedance. All specs explained
Thanks for doing this review! I'm looking for something like this, so it was a HUGE help!
Thanks for the awesome review I have been seeing this pop up in my ad stream for weeks now I do a handful of podcasts and sometimes live remotes. I think this is just want I need. Cheers
Your honesty is greatly appreciated! Im definitely buying this!
Thanks Adam for the great review, I am getting into voice podcasting and you have helped me greatly with my choice on what Audio Interface to purchase! Thanks Man!
Great review! I was looking for a budget interface, and it seems like this will be the one for me.
Great note on the headphone volume knob and much more basic info. For this beginner, thnx!
I just subscribed! Thank You for this review! Im building a home studio when I'm home from deployment! 🇺🇸☺️
I just started podcasting with this using garageband. I noticed that Input 1 is on the left and input 2 is on the right. Do you have any experience getting them to record in mono?
Thanks Adam, I run all Behringer recording equipment. I'm going to order this on Black Friday, great day to buy equipment.
wow...whatever happend to an actual live demo of products???
well, i had my doubts obviously about this interface due to its price, after this, im sold, thanks a lot :D
This little thing is amazing. I just received yesterday. I output my Reason software from an M-Audio Profire 610 into UMC202HD via XLR connection. I'm amazed how great this sounds for the price. I let a few people hear the quality and we're like wow! I've tried all types of economical and expensive USB cards and sound quality was not that great at all. Bought one off Ebay for only 50 dollars. Best investment I've made in a long time.
Buy it...It's worth it...trust me.
Hi
I like the sound proof foam pieces behind you. the little squares .. Did you make it yourself. does it work good for you?
adam you're awesome bro i just ordered mine
thanks for the review buddy...
Can you use this like a DAC to output from pc to XLR ?
Hi, with one XLR microphone connected to this audio interface will I be able to choose from sound settings 1 channel mic ? or only 2 channels options? as I need 1 channel/mono one for streaming in OBS or ShadowPlay, as with 2 channels only (stereo) I will be heard only if left side... not in both sides. Any ideas? thanks
Can you listen to desktop audio through the monitoring port?
I struggled with the drivers on the behringer web page but after norton configerations, was able to get 2.23 driver working. Now just to get the podcasting software going
I really want to see the vocal recording and latency on this audio interface )
Behringer has had a very bad time, when they used very crappy componants, say the Composer 2200 to name one (when was it? End 1990s?), but they made their name, something like 25 years ago, with one of the most awesome low budget modules ever made, the Composer 2000 (build after a Focusrite dual compressor. The studio I worked back then had both and most favored the Behringer, which was 1/3rd of the price of the Focusrite). I still got 2 of those oldies and I'm so glad to have a couple of those, I use them for almost everything! I havent checked out Behringer for a long time, but now I need an IO-interface, I think I'm going to this one a go, after hearing your review. Very good review, btw. Well detailed and professional sounding story. Thanks a lot, mate! :)
hey can i use both input simultaneously for recording?
I have a slew of older tube amps. How would I go about connecting them to this? I am a total beginner and was told I needed a cab sim like a Two Notes Torpedo to connect to a usb interface. Can I use this instead from amp to laptop? Also, do Ineed an additional cab sim if I am simply running a guitar to this?
Thanks man
Is there a 4 input xlr version?? I'm using a UCA 202 interface with Eurorack802 mixer and Behringer C2 condensor cardiods in ORTF position. GREAT sound on this combo when recording on my Macbook Pro laptop as just want a couple of extra inputs for xlr IF I add a pair of omni directionals into the mix. Unfortunately the UCA 202 is only limited to 48khz digital recording
Thank you
Kind of off-topic, but where did you get that awesome screensaver in the background? :D
+Manut38FTW It's actually just the built in one that comes with Apple computers.
will this work as a DAC for streaming music like Tidal?
Is it good for using with DJ-Controller?
Hi Adam will this audio interface work with Virtual DJ or Tractor?
Can you do multi tracks in a daw with this, without track bleed?
I know this is an old vid, but could you help with a lil something.
I'm a guitarist (who isn't these days, right?) but I'm kinda looking for an all in one solution, or near as. I play both acoustic and electric. I'm also gearing up for some YT content (gaming and such) and feel I will have much more options and over all better experience with XLR mics.
I understand that XLR mics (some at least) need phantom power, So recording acoustic sessions wouldn't be an issue with this (or a similar interface) but how would I use an electric axe with something like this? Would I need a preamp and lead to this, or can I 'plug and play'?
If a preamp would be needed, could you recommend anything? I'm really stuck, I've been playing for years on tweekers amp ('kickers') and a 4x12in 16 ohm cab and head (Heads currently blow a trans on it, ordering some new ones soonish). But I've never recorded anything at all.
Much appreciated if you're able to help, no offence taken if you're unable or simply don't have the time too.
Hi, i can ask if behringer umc202hd has the balanced or unbalanced outputs? I hope they are balanced because I have to connect them to TRS with two active monitors. I apologize for my English, thank you.
Hello! Thanks for unboxing video! I can use this for connect my traktor controller and my maschin together? like the control audio 6 (but it is so expensive the audio 6)
what kind software do you user for record ... please let me know thanks
Very inspired by your video's Adam! Great content, and information! I'm thinking that Behringer would look really good in the studio I just opened downtown in Las Vegas! #wishfulthinking
Haha, I have a ATH-M50 white version and initially I don't under why they have high reviews until I hook them into my recent Behringer 1202FX mixer's audio monitoring port. The sounds quality is amazon and audio feedback from headphone is crystal clear. Anyway, the 1202FX is also highly recommended as $90 price tag in amazon. I use it as a Karaoke interface and it is much better than many graceful Karaoke houses I have been. Next time I have a need to buy an interface, I will include this into consideration.
i want to make a home studio should i use that interface or the behringer q1202usb mixer
YAAAS. New video:)
will it work on studio one I can't get studio one 2 to pick it up?
so where can I find your music
I get this pink noise like noise when I record vocal on my 204hd..any idea?
Could you plug a pair of xlr (Rokit 5's) speakers into this?
how much can i get one of these for, i got focusrite but my computer wont even find the app im running on windows, if i buy one of those and download the software will my focusrite software affect it?
I've been looking for a good inexpensive Interface for my very simple setup. Looks like I've found it.
HI,
I'm a beginner voice over artist. Along with the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC202HD, what are the recommended (affordable) studio monitors that I can use in my home studio?
Im looking for a basic mixer/phantom power of 48V for my blue yeti XLR mic -- please let me know which one is better - between Presonus Audiobox Usb 2 X 2 Usb Recording Interface and BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC202HD
Can I use this with a low output MC Phono Cartridge?
Does it have midi ports? I need an interface which converts USB to midi
Can i use this for live performance using pro tools? Newbie here
whats a good affordable interface for blue yeti pro
What good is it if you can only hear thru 1 side of headphones
Can i use this one with LOGIC PRO X ? many thanks....
i want oneeee !!! great review tho
Best review ever even tho you are not making sound test to it but yeah it really gaves me the hype too to have one of it, I've been using old phone only directed to speakers and for the vocals haha so this could be a dream come true equipment for me hahaha sir Adam if you have spares of unused interfaces even if its broken that still working can I ask for it? Just trying my luck lol notice meee
Thanks for the cool vids btw :)
Great video bro, does it come with seperate ASIO drivers?
Works with the free ASIO4All , but has some drivers-recently made compatible with windows 10 too. Don't know about Macs but people say it's plug and play there. On Win 10, ASIO4All and its own drivers make the trick work. Even without any drivers it works on Win 10 - as an external (and pretty decent) sound card.
Where is the demo?
How is the performance with windows pc. everbody uses this machine with mac
could you please help me understand the differences between BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC202HD and the Presonus Audiobox Usb 2 X 2 Usb Recording Interface
My mbox mini 2 die on me that other day and this was the closet to that thing I could find in terms of size. I wish the mic inputs were in the back of the thing but it shouldn't be a huge problem.
Great video
I have a question. I've been having issues with mine, as when I record or stream the playback is only in the left ear. Is there anything I can do to fix that?
Probably already found the answer, but you might be recording in stereo! Try recording mono!
Was there a review in here ?
You sold me lol. Been overdue for replacing my old MBox Pro 2. Tired of being stuck on Mavericks.
Hey Adam, how are you? I just saw your TH-cam video above and i'm very excited!
I just bought it online and it's on his way to my house. Here in The Netherlands (you know.. where Amsterdam is) it was very cheap (60 dollars!
Thank you for your review! I am a voice-over artist and i'm using a Symetrix 528e voice processor and i just wan't to connect it to the Behringer device and record so i think it's a good choice?
surely looks good
Does this work with Windows 10 hp Notebook?
I know this is an 8 year old video but I have a question can i run a XLR microphone that needs 600 ohm power and a -53.9db gain?
Does it support ASIO on PC?
Hey I ve got the same setup as U described ......
It's Behringer 404
AT 230 and C01
it also has midi in and out alopng with its other features and real producers record in mono stereo only happens at the mixdown so get a clue some of you trolls
does this work with the ps5
I wish I could get my hand on one of thoses things
I wish I could use mine. Been struggling to fucken get the right drivers and I have downloaded and uninstalled like crazy. They just dont seem to work on my windows 7 laptop. It is really frustrating.
Hello mate,
can you help me out?
I am more into critical listening and NOT into producing/mixing/editing.
I recently built new PC rig with realtec ALC 1150 audio chip and ordered Presonus Eris E4.5 monitors.
So i want to improve listening music on this setup and considering some affordable USB DAC for my system. Can you shed some light on this? I am interested in better depth, resolution and sound stage recreation than built in realtec chip.
There are so many audio interface DACs to choose and i am kinda lost here.
Behringer, Focusrite,Tascam,Steinberg,Alesis and so on.
thanx for your input mate
cheers
I'm in a rough position with college and life in general but it's fueled me into creating bits and pieces of cool guitar rifts and lyrics. I don't have the equipment to produce quality audio on my own and free music theory resources are all over the place and don't feel like I'm progressing. I'm too far in and too much in debt to change schools and get an audio engineering degree so I've reached out to every record label I could think of of all my favorite bands and offered to work to free if they could farm me with skills to become a producer to better write and mix songs. I don't know where to even start besides taking long shots emailing these record labels. I've been playing guitar for a little over a year and songwriting even less. But with my current situation and state of mind I believe at at my prime and voicing music in a completely different but still relatable way a wide spectrum of people could connect too. Some of the best music I've listened to came from when the artist were at their lowest so I dont want to let up the opportunity where I I have so much emotion to express. I just dont know where to begin.
just a bunch of peices that i havent finished of put together. When I try to either combine them or build off them they dont quite flow or the rest sounds way too generic aside from the part i was building off from.
what kind of music do you wirte. I'm into the arena of metalcore, post hardcore, pop punk, hard rock.
how about the delay when monitoring from the PC?
about 2ms
Is this almost the same as the 2i2? I mean its almost the same.
i just bought this sound card to drive my audio technica m40x
Hello friend, good video. I want to buy this interface. And i would know your opinion, had you have a problem with them in this time? All ok?
Somebody please advise what is different with the 204 model?
Well, I found out a good reason to AVOID using the 202 model- it's simply NOT Windows 10 compatible. It may run under Win10 for a little while, then the drivers fail. Re-installs, reboots of drivers.... A pain in the ass under Win10. So take my word for it, don't get the UMC202HD if you ever plan on running Windows 10 - no work good. I read that it works good with Windows 7 though. I now wonder if the 204 model makes any claims to be Windows 10 compatible or not. I feel I thru away $100 on a black box that only works whenever it feels like it. I got ripped off. We are talking about Win10 here... it's already been out there a few weeks now Behringer - Why no fully working drivers?
Thank you for the review. Has this piece of equipment got phantom power
yes
Can this be powered with a USB Power Pack? I am looking for a battery powered very small and portable setup to do live streaming. I have 2 commentators so I would be using the 2 XLR inputs and run the sound output to a Android tablet to stream to TH-cam. If I can power this via USB with a USB Power Pack then I should be set. Curious to see if anyone has tried it or has any input on the subject.
i want to make some guitar covers and do my own instrumentals and everything for covers of songs. Can i legally post them and monitize them? or do i need a liscense?
+Brendan Blazas I've never posted guitar covers before so unfortunately I wouldn't want to give you misinformation on that topic. I know that if you submit them through a company such as WeAreTheHits you'd be able to monetize whatever songs they have rights to. Good luck.
I bought these for my talented musician friends out of state.. So can collaborate remotely
will this work well with a pair of JBL LSR305 desktop speakers?
If you need to ask that , please dont get any speakers ever.........
You're a joke, Hwg... People are not born with all knowledge and the majority of people on this planet don't know what an audio interface is, let alone what it does. The question Andy asked is perfectly reasonable. Andy, you can connect them to this interface. You connect the interface to your PC via a USB cable and then connect your LSR305's to the main outputs on the back of the interface with TRS cables.
YourGirlfriend'sBoyfriend is the 202hd have balanced output?
Your comment made me smile. Thanks for being such a great guy. I hope you're having a great day.
Hwgagainwiththetrolling Hwg 😂😂😂💯
bheringer is good product IMHO. their digital mixers, racks compressors and delays are awesome with affordable prices. even some of their stomboxes for guitar are wicked good (the plastic casing they use makes the stompboxes looks cheap and fragile)
Hi, is to possible to connect MIDI keyboard to UMC202HD?
Yes you can connect.
Can you just use for listening to music?
Why would you need something like this to listen to music?
Because, I have a Yamaha Pro AMP and that only has balanced XLR inputs,
So I need the Phoria to have a sound card with balanced outputs
Which my notebook does not have
These are the problems when you want to combine consumer devices with professional devices
Anyone else experiencing latency with this interface? Tried all the usual fiddling with bit depth and io but no luck >:(
It works. You ultimately INFLUENCED me, Adam. Bought this for my home studio. #Influencer #Real #High #Quality
How's the sound? I just ordered one
@@tikemyson4685 is it compatible for windows 10? I heard alot of people mentioning it works at the beginning, but then later it doesn't work and just starts rebooting.
@@jeffrey_george yes it works on windows 10. The drivers trip out from time to time. When I open up studio one the daw doesn't recognize it sometimes. I have two different drivers for this interface so when it does that I just reinstall. The sound is crispy and clean when it acts right though.
@@tikemyson4685 thx but should I get this or fiio e10k or gsx 1000?
@@jeffrey_george I haven't researched any of the ones you've listed yet, but the behringer is really good for the price.
Can you use this with FL Studio?
I got it and It's very good and cheap buy it!!!
PLs if you can help me to choose usb interface...What to bay in price range up to max 200$, stainberg, scarlet or focusrite? i was considering Behringer 204hd as well.. thx.
I ordered 1 today for electric guitar playing. Just to be sure it won't be clipping/crackling from the raw, high frequencies (high Hz) input sound waves from the guitar's humbuckers, I also bought the Behringer DI 400-P to put in front of the interface (i.e. you plug the guitar in that little device that itself plugs into the UMC interface's Input. That little electronics block is 31$ CDN.
I wanted a Focusrite Solo Generation2 USB interface (which is 166$ here, but will clip at high gain and/or battery powered humbuckers), but I didn't know how to block high frequencies, because it comes with a direct 1/4'' guitar jack, but all DI frequencies reducers that I know of, have 3 pins output jacks. Check connectors & cables. Make sure you have everything! In all, with all cables & 2 units it cost me $175 CDN on Amazon. canada & I can plug
1- In a normal, home sound system amplifier 2- The AUX of my guitar amplifier (with a RCA STEREO CABLE spliter that I also bought)
In US, it should be cheaper in any case, even with the currency conversion...Good luck. Hope that helped.
thx that is valuable info ...appreciate that very much
Just an update: I received everything except the dual 1/4''/RCA cable (to plug the interface straight into normal home amplifier), but was able to test the unit into my guitar amp. Everything works: Reaper, Guitar Rig 5, Peavy Revalver, Amplitube 3, PodFarm & even Rocksmith 2014 sounds better. Like predicted the interface requires the DI 400-P to control clipping thought.
If you run an Apple PC, you don't need to download a driver, but if you run a Windows PC like me, you need to go on the website of Behringer & download the driver. Weirdly, Amplitube 4 doesn't work with the unit's driver, so I also downloaded ASIOForAll driver fo it & now it works. Unfortunately, TH2 sounds like a crap-toaster with both drivers, but in all, I'm very happy.
Hi Adam, I was signed on under my Grandson's P/W. So I thought I'd reply to your video correctly. I run all Behringer in my home studio. I help back from buying the M-Studio product, glad I did. This product has some great reviews. I plan on ordering it on Black Friday. I'm looking forward to using this new tool.
Is this noisy?
Why do I feel like this is a filtered review? Oh I know, he 'forgets' to mention that the direct monitoring only plays back mono (meaning if you have a single microphone plugged in you will ONLY hear from the left or right headphone). This device ONLY records mono. I thought this was going to be a big step up from the Xynex 302USB, but it really made little difference and all it did was allow me to plug in an extra mic and have more phantom power . . . I still like its look though . . . but I'm getting a Focusrite Scarlett Solo.
Have you gotten the Solo yet do you like it better?
I believe you have to change your computer ASIO settings to record in stereo.
There are actually many disadvantages to the Scarlett Solo: It's quite a bit more expensive, the outputs are unbalanced, it doesn't have input pads, one less XLR input, no separate knobs for direct monitoring vs regular monitoring, the list goes on. For the *same price* as a Scarlett Solo you're interested in, you could get a Behringer UMC404HD, which has more I/O, higher resolution audio, better Preamps (in my opinion), and more onboard functionality. It's the same price as the Scarlett Solo, and almost $100 less than the next up in the range, the 6i6, yet still has more functionality than even that. For my setup, I use the higher-end UMC1820 paired with Behringer's ADA 8200 extension unit, and get many more inputs and outputs, more functionality, and better Mic Pres (again, my opinion) than the Scarlett 18i20...that's two rack units and more functionality than the Scarlett for the exact same price. I'm probably coming off as a fanboy, but I genuinely just want to help you out, dude. No need to spend that much money when there's better for less.
Last point, recording mono comes with the territory. With most professional/prosumer grade gear, you'll need to be recording through two inputs and pan them hard left and right in your DAW to achieve the stereo effect. Alternatively, if you're just trying to monitor a single input, you have to bridge it to mono, which is possible with the UMC404 and higher, but unfortunately not with the 202.
You Velopod.
I'm just starting to build up a small home studio, and being sixteen with a 4.44 an hour job it's kinda hard. How long have you used these devices... im really torn between going for the 1820 or a less-input ai and idk what to do. I'd would of gone with the 2i2 or the Native instruments version, but i may start recording drums in the near future.
