I know this is 3 years old, but i gotta say the volume tip saved me from going insane. I spent hours and hours trying to figure out why playback monitor doesnt work. Im watching this at 2am and i had to get up and try it out, it worked!!!. I was about to send it back in the morning. Thank you
Same here…. I almost gave up but volume tip finally made my day. UMC 204hd in my case. Thank u very much!
I just came here to find the same thing lol
The guitar playing in the end was just beautiful!👏
Man, thank you for taking the time to put this video together and walk us through all those details. I appreciate it a whole lot! Much love!
Hi @TheAudioDabbler - I know you mentioned you used this in AUM.
I have this and I can't seem to get it working in Garageband (iOS / iPad) did you try Garageband or are you able to?
What comes through outputs 1,2,3,4 and headphones when direct monitoring (input) is set to MONO when all inputs are plugged and played
that mxl 991 on acoustic is insaneeeee!!!!! ilov that nice low boost !!!
Hey Hey! Very nice guitar playing, too! Yeah! 🤗😁👊
Thanks. I need to incorporate my guitar more into my channel.
Can it be used as a stand-alone mixer? That is, without iPad/computer connected
Nice One! (@8:40 you are cracking me up! 🤣👏👏👏)
Well. I mean, it goes right along with Jakobs Dongle Song.
Can this be used for multi output routing ? Each track has separate output routing for example on logic pro
Thanks,
Nice! I’ve tried the inserts and they don’t bypass the preamps; they seem to be post preamp. Very nice video!
Thanks. That was the general consensus I was getting from other forums but a few seemed to think they might use less of the Pre-amps. For the price point, you get way more than you pay for.
TheAudioDabbler excuse I know you might not reply back because you have better things to do but how’s the headroom to this Interface??? Because headroom is very important to me
I want to use as my phone's audio input Without the U-Control
hi how come I can only get one side of my headphones working my headphones work in everything else thanks brill vid.
Hi apparently you need a XLR splitter
Which is a pain
Great video….why not use wall wart for power?
do you still like/use this?
I have a problem with the Behringer UMC404HD. The audio input from the interface wasn't recognized in the iPad Garageband. Also, the headphones cannot be used for monitoring. Your help will be appreciated.
I'm using the HyperDrive USB C Hub to connect the Behringer Audio interface.
I’m planning to record 4 drum mic on GarageBand, can I put those 4 in different channels/tracks?
This is my plan too. We need a decent answers. Haha!
Yes. You should be able to. Each show up as their own input.
Thanks for the review. Can this interface record 4 tracks simultaneously on Cakewalk or Audacity DAW's?
I cannot confirm for those but I know it can record 4 tracks at the same time in Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Studio One.
What delay is that you are using
Would like to know if the headphone output has enough power to run 250 ohm headphones...please!
Hello, if you still own a Behringer umc404 hd audio card, please help. I don’t know what to do with it anymore, I’m going to sell it. The computer displays a driver error or writes to the driver
IF you are using a MAC then no drivers are necessary. In windows try using ASIO4All that should be a good driver. You could also try deleting the driver, restarting the computer, then reinstalling it. I dont have it any more but the entire time I did have it, I had no issues. Windows can sometimes have issues. I dont think it would be the interface, more like a windows error.
I don't what is wrong, I already bought Anker USB Data Port Hub to connect Behringer UMC404HD with iPad Pro 2018, but the mic volume is still quiet. Could you please how to set up?
Bought its big brother (UMC 1820). I cannot hear the playback coming from the iPad (AUM) on my headphones, only the direct input. It’s driving me crazy. I don’t get it. Which output do I need to select in AUM? What else can I be doing wrong?
How r u sir, love ur review.. I have a question.. Can I listen to 2 pair of monitors at the same time with this interface??
playback outputs need to be set in DAW usually 3/4, then just buy the mackie passive big knob to switch between a/d monitors...... if that makes sense
Is that some kind of My Little Pony setup with Princess castles, etc.? in the background?
Noice. lol ;)
yes....yes it is. My kids have 2 "train tables" that they use for their toys. Its filled with legos, ponies, princesses, castles, among other things. They have actually created a small RPG that they play. No rules, no dice, just kids playing and using their imagination.
"No rules, no dice, just kids playing and using their imagination" - yep... isn't this basically the very same thing we iOS audio app nerds are also doing with our audio toys? :)
Yes.
We are all immature ;-)
What’s the best way for me to deal with latency in AUM? I’m not using a crazy amount of AUV3 just some basic hardware/software routing. My iPad is the M1 pro
Hi why are not using the AC/DC Adapter? Does it work only with USB Hub if connected to iPad Pro?
what is the +48 v phantom switch on the behringer umc404 hd for? I have been trying to run the 404 into my iPad for recording in GarageBand just bought another usb to lightningbolt adapter, when I plug the 404in, via usb, via the adapter I get a warning stating that the iPad can’t use the “accessory” because it uses too much power, despite the 404 having its own power source. Just want to record! Thanks
Can you hear all 4 channels in the iPad?
I got the adapter piece the microphone works but the heads phones do not.
With this interface I always make sure the volume is up on device you are using and also there is a mix knob. You can adjust it to see if it will make the headphones work. Also I remember there being buttons that select what is being sent out to the headphones. I sold my unit so I can't confirm but try that. If not let me know and I can see if i can think of something else.
Very good video.any idea why my interface is not connected to ipad using the normal power without usb hub.
iPad can't power provide enough power
Can i connect a UMC202HD to an Ipad?
I do not see why not. The UMC404HD works great. most class compliant audio interfaces work although some need either additional power or to use a powered USB hub.
I got the UMC202HD, im trying to use garageband with it but it doesn’t seem to be working🤷♂️ what app works??
Awesome video brother, i am planning to purchase the same for drum recording, do you think its possible somehow to plug an additional 2 inputs in this interface? , a standard drum set needs at least 6 mics plugged at same time “ bass,snare, 2 toms, (2 over heads w/phantom) 😞
With this one, it only has 4 inputs. So it wouldn't be possible. Behringer does make an U-Phoria 1820 which has 8 inputs.
I know I might be a bit late for answering but if you used a mixing desk for the drum mic's then stereo out into two line in puts, is the best work round. Only problem is you record a stereo image.
But if you want to be able edit each track by have a dedicated line on each track, get the rack umc 1820 takes 8 inputs withe the option to expand the digital input
Hello thanks for the video I'm still new on this and would like some assistance got a sound system used for dying and stuff and somtimes for live performances and wan to give this lil guy a try since ever I've been using analog mixer. I would like to know wht software to use on my laptop windows substitute my analog mixer for me to use this product
Any DAW would work. I am sure a quick good search might lend you in the right direction. I might recommend using Ableton Live Lite which you can usually get for free.
Will do thank you so much 🙏
In your opinion, which input should I insert the phone output of a JoYo valve preamp into? to record it on a DAW program or similar? TNX
Input 1+2 or 3+4 or you will just get a mono signal.
Hub link is the wrong hub. Links to non powered hub.
Thanks for the video. Does this still function if powered on via USB but NOT connected to a PC/i-pad? Can you still use the audio outputs to route to an amp or other recording device? Thanks
Yes and no. You can use the 4 inputs but without some sort of software to route the audio, you can only use the main outs, not the Playback ones. So 3/4 are not accessible.
why, why, why, man, man, man. This is me when In high on acid
yeeees
is this garageband in your ipad?
I am pretty sure I was using AUM.
So, I am planning on trying Quantiloop as a looper solution after frustrations with pedal loopers. Was considering connecting audio and midi using a Scarlett interface, but then I saw the iConnect4. Saw in the comments you use the iConnect4 mostly. Would you say it would be the best choice for iPad connection as an audio interface for live looping with Quantiloop? How would iConnect4 be better than a Scarlett or this Behringer device?
the iConnect is great when you have multiple devices you want to use together. It allows me to use 2 iPads or an iPad and my MacBook all to share the inputs and outputs, midi controllers, and even send audio back and forth between them. It does offer some complex internal routing as well. So I would suggest it if you had more than one device you wanted to use because there is a learning curve with the iConnect device.
For a single device, the Behringer does fine. I will say that a good USB mixer is a great choice as well. With most you don't get 4 independent ins and outs but depending on your setup. I want to get a mixer soon as I am only 1 person and I am not looping multiple instruments at the same time.
@@TheAudioDabbler I bought one. Hoping I DON'T end up needing 2 iPads for my set-up. It is ridiculously complex enough as is. So it may end up being over kill, but as long as it works. No afraid of learning curves, being a guitarist who had to learn about MIDI on my own. I am just hoping Quantiloop solves all of my looping issues. Pigtronix Infinity came close, but too buggy and 2 loops is limiting. The Headrush Looper is just too big to even consider, and the latest Aeros seems like they took it out of the oven before it was done. Has all the promise, but the most important features from my standpoint seem to be "in development".
hi I want to connect my studio monitors to the u404hd. I am using behringer Studio 50USB monitors. On which ports should I connect the to the u404hd
The main outs either with the XLR or 1/4.
Does the power hub work with midi controllers?
Would this also work if you just used the DC in on the Behringer for power and the USB directly to the Camera kit?
yes, it should work just fine.
cool then will it let you mono out so you can mix all the 4 on a outside mixer if you wont to
Potentially, depending on what software you are using to output. It is really good at mimicking whatever you send to it. IE if you are sending out 4 mono signals via the software like Logic or ableton, then yes it would work.
if its usb powered why does it have a power socket too?
For the optional power if needed. or maybe using it like a small mixer without a PC/iPad.
usb power is not enough when using phantom power
Gteat video! Are you interested in testing mic?
Can I connect my guitar and a mic to this, then connect this to my android phone, record audio and video of me playing and singing without having to use garageband?
I have no experience with Android but I believe that you just need the correct USB adapter to connect it with and an App on your phone. The interface is class compliant which means it doesn't need any drivers to operate.
Do you know if it would work with the first camera connection kit without the power lightning in (that thinner and cheaper one that has only USB)?
Rodrigo Oliveira it should. I cannot test as my old first CCK broke but it should work as long as you have a powered hub.
@@TheAudioDabbler i tested and it did work! :D
Think it would work with a usb-b to lightning and the dc wall wart plugged into the interface?
iOS GarageBand gives an ‘accessory needs too much power’ message with just the usb to lighting (with the DC wall wart plugged in) .... but using the usb 3 lightning (as he does in this video) works.
B Lyons, thank you.
Mitch, I have an Audio4+ that I'd like to replace as I need 8 inputs. Any recommendations for iOS compatible with 8 channel inputs? There other questions, can you connect more than one audio interface to an iPad? I.e. could I add this Behringer and chain one to the other?
So, no you cannot connect multiple interfaces as an aggregate to an iPad. That would be amazing. Are you needing 8 to record all 8 simultaneously? a good 8 input USB Mixer routed into the Audio4+ could work. Other than that, all the major players have good interfaces, Focusrite, M-Audio has some new interfaces, Behringer has an 1820 model. I think my next interface might be the Behringer XR18. its a digital mixer that when used as an audio interface, can record from all 18 channel separately. I used a one of my buddies and worked great. There is also an iPad app for controlling it.
@@TheAudioDabbler Thanks. I bought the Behringer 1820 and so far its working fine. One of the things I hated about the A4+ was the single knob which is a hassle to use to set levels. Now I'm trying to sell my A4+ and MIDI4+.
glad to hear the 1820 is working out for you. I don't think I could part with my Audio4+. Of course I use bothy MacBook and iPad so it's the central hub between the 2. I guess I never had any issues with the single knob but I also don't do a lot of external gear except my guitar. so max I have at any given time is 2 inputs.
@@FrozenLonesome Still selling?
I currently have my Behringer UMC404HD connected to a USB hub 3.0 and my iPad Pro is also connected to the hub, yet GarageBand is not picking up the mic input from my Behringer. Is there something I did wrong?
Make sure that there is power going to the UMC404. I found that a powered Hub is best. Also using the CCK3, make sure you are supplying power to it as well. The UMC404 seems to want more power. Are you using a generic Camera Connect Kit or Apple one? This could also make a difference.
TheAudioDabbler thank you! I discovered my problem yesterday! My USB hub didn’t have power connection and it was draining my iPad’s power. I bought a new Camera Connection Kit that supports power supply and a new hub that connects to my iPad and a power supply as well. Thank you so much!
Nathania Ko I’m thinking of getting this one or the steinburg ur 44 I wast it for GarageBand band on my iPad Air 2 how did you get on ? Is it all working properly in GarageBand now ?
How do you like it a year later?
I like it. Still works great. I don't use it as often as I should, my iCA4+ runs my studio, but I do loves the preamps in it.
What is that orange chord you used?
Nathania Ko just a mono 1/4 patch cable that is super short.
Hello. Can I also use this interface with my iPhone XR to have my input sounds on an instagram live? I know the iRig can do this but I’d rather just buy only one device allowing me to record on GarageBand and also use it as live tool to get my sound straight in. Would you like to test it?
I am not exactly sure. I really don't do instagram but I can see what I can do as far as testing and get back to you. I do know it works with TH-cam Live but it can be a little weird. I just tested with a loopback and it worked, but I did use AUM and a couple short mono 1/4 patch cables to create a loopback to get direct audio.
@@TheAudioDabbler Any news on this? Would be amazing if it works!
Do you need the camera connect kit if you are only doing audio?
If you intend to hook it up to your iPad then yes, you need the Camera Connection Kit. Not sure what you mean by only audio.
@@TheAudioDabbler thank you so much for the reply. Cheers
”Apple sets the trends” :-D
Would it work on iPhone? How could I setup it?
yes, as long as you are using a Camera Connection Kit and a USB hub or a Camera Connection Kit 3 with the optional power. It should work just fine.
TheAudioDabbler Great to know! Thank you very much for replying!
Will GarageBand on the iPad record each track separately? It looks like you’re just doing one track at a time.
Hey, i tried to record 3 dynamic mics together and I noticed that setting the gain level of input 1 & 2 at half the way was ok. But for the third mic (on input 3) I needed to set the gain level on the maximum possible to have the same result of the half way of input 1 and 2. Tried it also on input 4 and it's the same thing as input 3... is it normal?
Sorry for my English!
now i'm bit confuse
should i pick UMC404 or Steinberg UR44C
(since the price range are quite big too?)
because in past, i face some unpleasant experience with Behringer Stompbox about sound quality and build quality
Overall I was happy with the UMC404 while I had it. No real issues or deal breakers. I recently sold mine just because I was trying to clear out some space. I regret it sometimes because it was a good solid unit and I have found myself in a position that I need a portable interface again.
@@TheAudioDabbler ahhh i see i see thanks for reply too
first test for me i got a bluescreen after 5 minutes
how about the next tests?
@@braulioacosta6816 its been fine ever since, I just have it connected to my win7 laptop, reaper and 2 synths, all good.
Gotta buy a camera connection kit, and a usb power pack, and another dongle for cards....I think I may just get rid of my fucking iPad.
You don't need all these dongles for Mac or PC.
Its not the way of the future, its the way of proprietor developers making bad designs.
Como se llama el programa que usas amigo
I was using an app called AUM to test and route the audio.
@@TheAudioDabbler aya y para androi
Far to many cables.
Yes, cables seem to be the achilles heel of some setups, especially once you start integrating hardware and software together.
apple sux man, get an android...
Hey man, have you tried to use the 4 outputs of the interface for samples or multitracks or something like that?
Sort of. I did test it out for a loop back situation for sampling system audio and it worked out great.
