Most important point is at 3:30 - how the channels are numbered. It isn't intuitive that you have to add 10 to get the number of the channel you want to record. Thanks for mentioning that. It saved me a lot of time. Yes, if I had read the manual more carefully, I would have known that. Everything else is really intuitive about the box. I really like it. Thank you for the tutorial series !!
Hands down the best tutorial series on this mixer! What would you recommend as the best setup option for using the UI24 with Zoom/Microsoft Teams/etc in a hybrid environment?
This tutorial can only be applied to this one particular use. A suggestion: do a tutorial with the intent of recording a band, one instrument at a time, click track monitoring from DAW, and monitoring of previously recorded instruments. This could apply to a major part of recording done with Ui24R.
Thanks for the video, though I still have some doubts. I was recording drums with a Soundcraft Ui24R and I had a song to play with. Mics were recorded, song was heard on a separate channel, but I could not hear back the drums that I was playing in real time. Could you please guide where I should look for that in this particular case? Thanks in advance.
Opa, Gostaria de saber como faço para gravar mais de uma track no reaper, tipo vários instrumentos de uma fez so que em tracks separados, não encontro video em Português
Hello! i just got an Ui24R. I try to use it with Pro Tools Artist. As you explained, the phisical input 1 (combo XLR Jack) is giving signal in PT. That is working up to input 6. After that, from input 7 up to 20 and the 2 RCA is giving no signail in my DAW, even if in my UI control i have signal on those channels. Can you help me please? I want to use 7 mics on my drumkit, from input 11 (that should be in 21 on my DAW) up to input 17 on my Ui24R. Thanks in advance!
The only things that you can record to DAW are the direct channel inputs, AUX sends, Left and RIght output. If you wanted to record processed channels for example you could play back recorded material from DAW to remix via the Ui24R or one trick is to play 8 channels at a time back and route each 8 channels to AUX 1-8 so you have processed outputs there.
olá.. moro no brasil.. tenho uma duvida.. tem como aumentar o numero de entrada para microfone usando algum tipo de expansão .? desde já agradeço.. abraço..

So I am recording my hardware synths via midi through the daw. To hear them while I am recording, local has to be patched, but then I can't hear my wave recordings at the same time, and vice versa. Is there an easier way to do this?
Select 2 channels (say LINE INPUT 1-2) that will be your DAW returns the LR output from your DAW needs to be patched somewhere. In these 2 channels select DAW 1-2 as your inputs.
Nice ! I have a qustion, as I am pretty new to this kind of Equipment. I'd like to use it with Ableton for playing backing tracks/clicktracks and record the whole live show. Is it possible ? I want to know if I need a separate system to run these backing tracks + click.
Channels from the DAW can be mixed and routed as the others external input channels from the matrix..with eq comp reverb etc? ... its possible to route local input and usb daw input on the same channel to maintain the audio channel settings for studio recording sessions?
I need a little more clarification about your question. I will try to understand Channels from DAW in the Ui24 can be mixed and routed in the same way as input channels and adding EQ/COMP etc in the same way you would input channel- YES that's the whole idea of a virtual soundcheck BTW. It is possible to route local input and USB DAW inputs to the same channels and add one SWITCH (SOUNDCHECK) with these 2 different patching scenarios where only the input patch would change and not the EQ/COMP etc. Perfect for a STUDIO recording session.
I'm so confused. I'm using the ui24r with reaper on a mac. How can I get it in my headphones from reaper with a click! Shouldn't it be able to come through an Aux or one of the two headphone jacks on the ui24r!? If anyone can help please chime in.
Short question, if anybody hopefully reads this: I connected my PC (band rehearsal room) to the UI24R and want to record via Reaper. Recording works but how do I set the UI24R in Windows as default audio output via the UI24R's main output channels 1 and 2? The problem is that I can record but I hear no output. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help :)
In a recording session, if I want to make two differents mix for two differents musicians while they are recording, how I rout it? Sorry for my English. Thanks
You can either make them in your DAW and send to 2 different channels on Ui24R (or directly to Ui24R outputs) or send individual channels from the DAW to mix in Ui24R. Each AUX output on Ui24R can be a full mix from Ui24 or from your DAW (look at how to patch outputs from your DAW to Ui24R)
Big fan of the Ui16, had mine for 2 years. Delighted you're now with Soundcraft, the UMix promised so much with what I think is the best interface that anyone is offering. You've done it again with the Ui24r, will be replacing my 24 channel digital mixer (not mentioning any names) with the Ui as soon as it's out, can't wait! As well as iPad, I use an acer t232hl touchscreen monitor, will it work with the Ui24r via hdmi and usb? Great job and big thank you.
Hi, thanks for the support. Yes all HDMI screens will work, in some situation if the driver is not already in the Ui24R for the touch part, follow page 120 of the manual. In any case you can also connect Keyboard and Mouse directly to the unit.
So, if I want to stream the single channels to my DAW, they all are pre-faders/pre-eq? What I have to do if I want to record all the channels with the processed Soundcraft EQs, FXs, etc?
Yes you can, if you can use your plugins with an audio interface then you can use them with the Ui24R. Obviously as with an audio interface you will have some latency added (depending on the plugin as well) , there is another video showing this online (Ui24R with Waves plugins)
Thanks for this video, very helpful. I am not quite sure what the advantage is of mapping the output to a different channel, and also which channel to pick (or can I use any un-used channel?) If the output is coming back via the Soundcraft UI24R to either phones or monitors, why would I need to turn it up or down independent of the track itself? Hope that question even makes sense...?
In an audio interface you have specific INPUTS and OUTPUTS all assigned to USB. In a Ui24R you have multiple inputs and outputs you can assign, USBA(MTK recorder/player), Mic preamp, Line, USB B(DAW). Having this flexibility means you must assign your DAW returns somewhere, to a channel on the mixer and you must tell that channel where it's audio is coming from. Think of it like a big patch bay.
you still need to patch it to be 1:1 (for inputs) but in future firmware you will have other parts you could patch so it's required. Many users use the LINE INPUT to patch from DAW LR so that channels 1-20 are left as inputs to the DAW with real time monitoring control on the Ui.
Hey thank you so much for your tutorials! You're a great guy. I tried it several times to connect the Ui24R to Cubase (Mac) but I doesn't work :-( I switched the VST-Audio system to the Soundcraft UI24R and patched all the VST-Connections. VST-Input: Mono In 1 - Soundcraft UI24 11 Mono In 2 - Soundcraft UI24 12 Mono In 2 - Soundcraft UI24 13 ....etc. VST-Output: Stereo Out1 - Soundcraft UI24 1 Stereo Out1 - Soundcraft UI24 2 ...etc. Also I patched the USB-DAW 1:1 in Soundcheck-Mode and activated it. But it doesn't work. No signal comes into the DAW (Cubase). And I don't get any signal from the DAW to the Ui24R (no click, no wav sound I imported...) Can you give me some advice? Best! Daniel
hi, i have my guitar conected to channel 1 in my ui24r, when i try to put a vst like a amp simulator, i cant hear the amp, i only listen the clean signal comming from de interface, any idea? sorry for my english!
Hello buddy can you please tell me why i have another options instead that one you have in the minute 3:31? (Input: mono, stereo, MIDI, none) I can not even select mono and then channels, my menu shown are Récord: input (audio or MIDI) Récord: MIDI overdub/replace > Récord: output. > Récord: input (force format) > Récord: disable (input monitoring only) Thats it I nope you can help no this, thanks
thanks, but actually, that is not the kind of insert i mean... the outpoint here is right after the gain... i can't set it after the eq for example... and also, the gain fader disapperas... I know that there is a HW gain fader, but it kinda sucks, that you have to search it every time you need it... :/ it would be awesome if you could set an insert, say where you want to have the software output of it and what the software retun is... that way, the gain fader stays visible and at the same time you could run waves multirack, a daw or similar... this console is awesome anyways but that feature would make it even better... :D
How do you set up UIR24 with Fl Producer. on Windows, v10. I have installed the driver. but still ant get it ot work.. it sees the ports etc but just no sound.. is the driver compatible ?
SO many interface demo videos discuss Pro Tools, Reaper, Ableton and Cubase, but rarely Sonar, which is phenomenal. I guess all of the Sonar guys just stick to recording. It would be cool to see some of these interface companies try to connect with us Sonar users though. At least some of them demonstrate on PCs. So many of us use PCs out here, but demo after demo is Mac and Thunderbolt.. I'm just saying that I'd like to see more interface demos with Sonar, PCs and maybe usb 3.0. That's all.
This one was done on a PC with REAPER, It's not a MAC. These days, with the current state of audio drivers, as long as you have ASIO drivers available (or WDM) then any DAW works. SOnar works perfectly OK with the Ui24R.
Yes. I know that this one is on a PC. Thanks. I was just making a general comment. This unit looks very impressive. I am going to watch every video that I can find on it.
Assign outputs from your DAW to 2 channels of UI24R. Have a look at the tutorials about patching. (for example if you assign to output 1-2, select 2 channels on the Ui24, patch them to DAW (USB B) 1-2. Put up the faders, put up the master). You should also join FB user group for UI24R.
all the channels are automatically patched to USB including the AUX sends and Master LR that gives you 32 outputs from the UI24R, all would come up as individual channels in your DAW
Normally not, because if you want to change anything later you cannot, you could play back the DAW tracks to the Ui24 and record the mix that gives you a chance to fix and change. If you must reocrd (for example Guitar FX) you can send the channel to an AUX and record the AUX that will be POST PROCESSING.
I’m cascading two UI24r units. The remote master out is slotted to two host channels. I can’t get any sound from those two host channels into my DAW. I’m using reaper and am not able to record those two channels? Any help? Please? The workaround would be routing from the AUX outputs on the remote with physical cables into the host Inputs.
to control use Cat5 or Cat 6 cable 75-100m or with a router even further. For Recording DAW 32 channels of audio you need a USB cable, USB2 standard lengths allowed I think it is 2M-3M
I have a question, so let's say you have recorded 16 tracks live and then want to add some new tracks via the DAW but somehow record back to UI24R? Or basically you would record everthing to DAW and add new tracks directly in DAW bwo UI24R? I really like the mastering features on the UI24r and really would like to use that for everything, but know you must integrate the DAW for adding/overdubbing an existing live recording. Thanks in advance.
@@mix-record-connect9938 Well, still a bit confused and sorry. So I have 16 tracks on the UI24r USB and want to add a couple of tracks to that existing recording. In a perfect world, I would have the ability to playback the 16 tracks on the UI24R and record/add a 17th track on the UI24R. However, that is not possible. Thus, need to get DAW into the picture. I see no way to patch those 16 recorded tracks over into the DAW. The patch is either USB to Input or Input to DAW. I think I am just missing a larger overview of what needs to take place to basically either A) add tracks to existing UI24R USB Multitrack recording and B) do an actual studio type of recording session where perhaps the foundation is done live, but all other parts are added after the fact. In a perfect world, use DAW for as little as possible. Also, I'm happy to pay for some of your time. We can connect directly to the unit, do PP etc. etc. I've been in IT for over 30 years and a few different engineering degrees. I'm just missing the overall flow schema....I think. Again, thanks in advance.
PS, today I was playing around with Reaper and was able to do your example as shown in this video, but that was all live based. I have a pre-existing session that I want to add tracks to.
Been wanting to know if I can use this Soundcraft Ui24R as a replacement for my focusrite scarlett, because essentially it offers way more channel inputs into my DAW (Cubase). But do you have to route back each individual channel output to the soundcraft in order to monitor? What if only routed back the stereo out channel to soundcraft and processed all individual channels in my DAW?
You can direct monitor in real time with FX in the mixer while recording it clean to DAW. You can just route back stereo for playback and monitoring, yes that is correct.
@@mix-record-connect9938 how exactly do you get the Ui24R software on to your computer? Can you install it without having to connect to the Ui hotspot? My desktop does not have wifi. Also, why use another DAW? Can't the software (if installed on a desktop) that comes with the Ui24R act like a DAW?
@@mix-record-connect9938 Hi, thanks but I have connected an ethernet cable (i have several and have tried them all) but nothing happens. I typed in the web address ui.io and all i get is a black screen with coloured squares on the left..im not very good at computer tech stuff i'll admit. Maybe I need to use my phone first to connect to mixer and muck with settings or something?
Hi, i got a problem with the sample rate, i want to create a session in Protools with 44000 khz, but i got a text with "the device only supports 48000 khz" any idea? how can i change the sample rate of the UI24R?
You cannot change Ui24R it is a hardware mixer with fixed sample rate. In protools if you want to change the sample rate of a session, make a session backup then Create a new blank session at the desired sample rate and bit depth. Then import Session Data and convert.
Thanks, Danny Olesh. I've had a look at it and it seems it's still a mystery to some. It would be nice to do such. Do you have an idea of any "rack fader-less" mixer that supports MIDI?
I Have tried to hook up the Ui24R to my DAW (Cubase 9.5 PRO) with 2 different Ui24R´s . . . to 3 different computer and 3 different USB cables. The computers doesnt find the Ui24R... Firmware updated to 2.0 on the first Ui.. and on the other.. no update.. its brand NEW! Tried on both MAC and PC! Any suggestions what i might do wrong?
Firmware on Ui24R does not matter, when you connect to a MAC you can go to the audio midi setup and see it's there, I presume you are using the USB B cable to USB A on your computer.
Hello thank you for your videos are very helpfull. I have problem ,my laptop seems that seeing my soundcraft ui12 and it s works perfect i have download the drivers v 3.20 exactly as the video and in cubase seems to seeing the soundcraft ui12 but it is telling my tha " none device has detected" what i am doing wrong; Thank you.
i got issues. Windows did not recognize the driver, actually, inside reaper and pro tools I/O config, shows Soundcraft ASIO driver, but did not set automatically the input and output channels. Not even allow this option, everything is blank. Could u help me pls?
What do you mean automatically? you need to select the INPUT and OUTPUT numbers if everything is loaded OK and the driver is showing and working. In any case, Best to post pictures to the Facebook User group.
Hi , I think the this soundcraft is such complicated stuff and frustrated on the patching... xr18 is very simple... I was trying to record the mutlitrack on garageband seems very difficult to setup... hectic...
ermm you think.. it;s not.. it's what you are used to. Actually it's the most intuitive interface and nearly everyone who uses it agrees. So, have you used it? (if you used others before then you are used to their workflow)
The last 3-4 minutes of this video show how to route DAW output back into a channel on the Ui24, but doesn’t discuss WHY. I’m new to recording and don’t understand this. My best guess is to hear playback through the headphone jack on the Ui24? I think there’d be too much latency to use this routing for monitoring.
@@mix-record-connect9938 Thanks for the reply. In the experimenting that I've done, I've just plugged my headphones directly into the laptop running my DAW. Is there an advantage to routing the DAW output back to the mixer rather than headphones on the laptop?
OK, I understand. When this video was made, 6 months ago, the website was not working properly and so I said at the time that it will be fixed within 24hours, not that you need to wait. Enjoy.
Most important point is at 3:30 - how the channels are numbered. It isn't intuitive that you have to add 10 to get the number of the channel you want to record. Thanks for mentioning that.

What is the maximum bit-rate, frequency and channels combination that the Ui16, Ui24 can handle?
Thank you for all the videos Soundcraft, they're a big help! Do you have an advice for setting up a Ui24 with Cakewalk?
Oh, get rid of cakewalk and invest 60 bucks for Reaper. As a former cakewalk user, trust me, you won’t be sorry✌️

Yes. I know that this one is on a PC. Thanks. I was just making a general comment. This unit looks very impressive. I am going to watch every video that I can find on it.
Assign outputs from your DAW to 2 channels of UI24R. Have a look at the tutorials about patching. (for example if you assign to output 1-2, select 2 channels on the Ui24, patch them to DAW (USB B) 1-2. Put up the faders, put up the master).
You should also join FB user group for UI24R.
I would like to see how to use ui24r as a regular usb audio interface. How shall i patch line input?
all the channels are automatically patched to USB including the AUX sends and Master LR that gives you 32 outputs from the UI24R, all would come up as individual channels in your DAW
Can I record in DAW after the fader with all the settings that I made on the mixing console?
Normally not, because if you want to change anything later you cannot, you could play back the DAW tracks to the Ui24 and record the mix that gives you a chance to fix and change. If you must reocrd (for example Guitar FX) you can send the channel to an AUX and record the AUX that will be POST PROCESSING.
I’m cascading two UI24r units. The remote master out is slotted to two host channels. I can’t get any sound from those two host channels into my DAW. I’m using reaper and am not able to record those two channels? Any help? Please? The workaround would be routing from the AUX outputs on the remote with physical cables into the host Inputs.
won't work that way. The Cascaded channels from a remote won't go into USB DAW of a Master.
@@mix-record-connect9938 Thanks for the reply and for all of your great videos
What maximum length cable to my computer I can use? What cable is needed - usb 2 or usb 3?
to control use Cat5 or Cat 6 cable 75-100m or with a router even further. For Recording DAW 32 channels of audio you need a USB cable, USB2 standard lengths allowed I think it is 2M-3M
I have a question, so let's say you have recorded 16 tracks live and then want to add some new tracks via the DAW but somehow record back to UI24R? Or basically you would record everthing to DAW and add new tracks directly in DAW bwo UI24R? I really like the mastering features on the UI24r and really would like to use that for everything, but know you must integrate the DAW for adding/overdubbing an existing live recording. Thanks in advance.
You can play back to the UI24 and mix it there, then either record the mix on the UI24 USB stick or back to 2 channels on your DAW as the master.
Thx
@@mix-record-connect9938 Well, still a bit confused and sorry. So I have 16 tracks on the UI24r USB and want to add a couple of tracks to that existing recording. In a perfect world, I would have the ability to playback the 16 tracks on the UI24R and record/add a 17th track on the UI24R. However, that is not possible. Thus, need to get DAW into the picture. I see no way to patch those 16 recorded tracks over into the DAW. The patch is either USB to Input or Input to DAW. I think I am just missing a larger overview of what needs to take place to basically either A) add tracks to existing UI24R USB Multitrack recording and B) do an actual studio type of recording session where perhaps the foundation is done live, but all other parts are added after the fact. In a perfect world, use DAW for as little as possible. Also, I'm happy to pay for some of your time. We can connect directly to the unit, do PP etc. etc. I've been in IT for over 30 years and a few different engineering degrees. I'm just missing the overall flow schema....I think. Again, thanks in advance.
PS, today I was playing around with Reaper and was able to do your example as shown in this video, but that was all live based. I have a pre-existing session that I want to add tracks to.
Been wanting to know if I can use this Soundcraft Ui24R as a replacement for my focusrite scarlett, because essentially it offers way more channel inputs into my DAW (Cubase). But do you have to route back each individual channel output to the soundcraft in order to monitor? What if only routed back the stereo out channel to soundcraft and processed all individual channels in my DAW?
You can direct monitor in real time with FX in the mixer while recording it clean to DAW. You can just route back stereo for playback and monitoring, yes that is correct.
@@mix-record-connect9938 how exactly do you get the Ui24R software on to your computer? Can you install it without having to connect to the Ui hotspot? My desktop does not have wifi.
Also, why use another DAW? Can't the software (if installed on a desktop) that comes with the Ui24R act like a DAW?
@@dingowhittingham1412 Just connect Ethernet cable to the UI, you don't need WIFI
@@mix-record-connect9938 Hi, thanks but I have connected an ethernet cable (i have several and have tried them all) but nothing happens. I typed in the web address ui.io and all i get is a black screen with coloured squares on the left..im not very good at computer tech stuff i'll admit. Maybe I need to use my phone first to connect to mixer and muck with settings or something?
@@dingowhittingham1412 Did you follow the instructions of how to assign IP address to your computer? many videos about this and also FB group.
Hi, i got a problem with the sample rate, i want to create a session in Protools with 44000 khz, but i got a text with "the device only supports 48000 khz" any idea? how can i change the sample rate of the UI24R?
You cannot change Ui24R it is a hardware mixer with fixed sample rate. In protools if you want to change the sample rate of a session, make a session backup then Create a new blank session at the desired sample rate and bit depth. Then import Session Data and convert.
Is there a way of mapping the faders to an actual MIDI controller fader/knob for whatever use?
On the Facebook Ui24R user group they have a few posts about this. It's possible
Thanks, Danny Olesh. I've had a look at it and it seems it's still a mystery to some. It would be nice to do such. Do you have an idea of any "rack fader-less" mixer that supports MIDI?
Hopefully more information will be released in the next few weeks.
@@dannyolesh7076 Okay. Please do update me on what's new then.
Has anyone used this in Cakewalk?
hello...great video thank you...i have one question... which cable i have to use to connect usb or ethernet???
For multitrack audio recording you need a USB cable from the USB B port. (marked USB I/F on the front) for control you can use WIFI or Ethernet.
@@mix-record-connect9938 thank you very much
@@mix-record-connect9938 can i multitrack audio recording with ui16? i have ui 16
@@BoRiala050 Multitrack is only on Ui24R.
i can routing the 20 channels to ear on a record session?(logicpro)
Yes actually 32 not just 20.. 20mic 2 line MASTER and all AUX outputs = 32
please make one video of this setup...tanks
I Have tried to hook up the Ui24R to my DAW (Cubase 9.5 PRO) with 2 different Ui24R´s . . . to 3 different computer and 3 different USB cables. The computers doesnt find the Ui24R... Firmware updated to 2.0 on the first Ui.. and on the other.. no update.. its brand NEW! Tried on both MAC and PC! Any suggestions what i might do wrong?
Firmware on Ui24R does not matter, when you connect to a MAC you can go to the audio midi setup and see it's there, I presume you are using the USB B cable to USB A on your computer.
@@mix-record-connect9938 Ok, so the firmware idea is out of the question.. great. Yes im using that USB connection I/F .
Could it be some difference between USB cables???
@@mix-record-connect9938 still doesnt work! :/
@@fredriklundberg3995 please contact Soundcraft support or the Facebook User forum.
Hello thank you for your videos are very helpfull. I have problem ,my laptop seems that seeing my soundcraft ui12 and it s works perfect i have download the drivers v 3.20 exactly as the video and in cubase seems to seeing the soundcraft ui12 but it is telling my tha " none device has detected" what i am doing wrong; Thank you.
Ui12?
this is for Ui24R
Hi. Thank you for all your videos they helped me a lot !! I have problem with Pro Tools. I need help about that. Can someone help me?
i got issues. Windows did not recognize the driver, actually, inside reaper and pro tools I/O config, shows Soundcraft ASIO driver, but did not set automatically the input and output channels. Not even allow this option, everything is blank. Could u help me pls?
What do you mean automatically? you need to select the INPUT and OUTPUT numbers if everything is loaded OK and the driver is showing and working. In any case, Best to post pictures to the Facebook User group.
Hi , I think the this soundcraft is such complicated stuff and frustrated on the patching... xr18 is very simple... I was trying to record the mutlitrack on garageband seems very difficult to setup... hectic...
ermm you think.. it;s not.. it's what you are used to. Actually it's the most intuitive interface and nearly everyone who uses it agrees. So, have you used it? (if you used others before then you are used to their workflow)
The last 3-4 minutes of this video show how to route DAW output back into a channel on the Ui24, but doesn’t discuss WHY. I’m new to recording and don’t understand this. My best guess is to hear playback through the headphone jack on the Ui24? I think there’d be too much latency to use this routing for monitoring.
If you want to listen back to your DAW then you need to route the outputs somewhere?
@@mix-record-connect9938 Thanks for the reply. In the experimenting that I've done, I've just plugged my headphones directly into the laptop running my DAW. Is there an advantage to routing the DAW output back to the mixer rather than headphones on the laptop?
@@wemmick probably more latency using the built in audio interface of your computer than via the Ui24
How do we gain access to all 32 daw inputs?
You can assign them to any of the 26 (22 inputs plus 4 processing ) channels or directly to outputs as well (in the patching section)
hi, work In MAC??
Yes, no need for a driver with MAC as well.
I looked on the official website and I couldn't find the software for MAC... Please help!!!
Mac uses Core Audio, you do not need software for it to operate.
Soundcraft Ui24R Does that mean Mac will recognize the UI as audio interface without software?
correct
Soundcraft Ui24R Five starts for you brother!!! You have saved my life!!
I don't understand, why I have to wait 24 hours after the drivers installation?
sorry, I don't understand the question, where did you get this information from that you need to wait 24hours?
I'm sorry and not a native speaker.....but for me it sounds like, what I've written above. Listen from 1:26 to 1:40 in the videoclip
OK, I understand. When this video was made, 6 months ago, the website was not working properly and so I said at the time that it will be fixed within 24hours, not that you need to wait. Enjoy.
Now I know.....you said UI 24R .... I understood UI 24 hour.....just a simple misunderstanding from my side.....
mine dosent work that daw connection 😕
Hey. Try to reboot your Laptop AND your UI24R. It helped for me
First one here.
Thank you :-)
wow, recording to DAW on this unit doesn't seem very streamlined.
Why would you say this, to record, you do not need to do anything. Just select channels to record in your DAW!
that 10 channel offset is unusual
I agree, so confusing! Why is there an offset?
Why reaper? 🤦♂️
It works with everything.
Any chance you can showcase this with industry standard DAW's like Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Cubase or Studio One?
Sure, I use it with Protools and Abelton, I'll make some videos with those.
That'd be great, I look forward to seeing that
Why not Reaper? It's awesome
