In other words it was the perfect entry interface for me personally. I have mixed feeling about this piece of equipment, as by the time I finally decided to upgrade, I’ve been through it all, and learned a lot about many things, which helped me make a well informed choice. But again, I don’t know if this is due to the interface’s manufacturing or other factors outside of Behringer’s control. I also had difficulty setting it up for live streaming. (I suppose this is mostly a windows-problem rather than the interface’s fault, as it worked flawlessly together with my old trusty mac). I say this, but I still remember having to spend a considerable amount of time installing ASIO drivers to make this thing work as i wanted it to when switching to Windows. It has ‘industry-standard’ features which familiarizes the newbeginner with different parts of the process of recording stuff. ĭespite the fact that I don’t trust this piece of equipment enough to create music with it I can not deny the fact that it truly is plug and play. This annoying rattle becomes unbearable even when the knobs are set at the half-way point. The interface has a very loud and distinct self-noise, almost chime like in the upper register. It frustrated me that the sound I got into my DAW was not the same I heard from my instruments. It did not take long however untill I was left craving for more. It opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
It was with this piece of equipment i learned how to record takes. I am new to using instruments through the computer, but this made it really easy to get started. It's good it has signal LED's to show when it can register signal, and it also has a clip LED so you easy can adjust input gain to a normalized level. Pros/Cons: Build quality is actually quiet good, though the knobs would have gotten a better "touch" if there were made en metal instead of plastic, but that is just a cosmetic feel. I'm using both acoustic Western Guitar and Electric Guitar with the UM2, and the result for clean sound is awesome. Monitoring is also nice, it can be used easily to monitor the inputs directly throug headphones. Output sound quality is good, which means that the UM2 has a good D/A converter build in. My speakers have analogue RCA input, which works well with the UM2. Using the UM2 as sound output on the iMac is quiet nice, as the iMac has no other output than headphones or Bluetooth, where BT has a delay, using the UM2 there basically isn't any delay. Sound quality from inputs are really good. Both inputs gain can easily be adjusted by the two knobs on the UM2. In Logic Pro X you are presented with two Inputs (1 & 2), 1 goes for Mic/Line 1 and 2 for Instrument fx. I use the UM2 for connecting to my iMac for recording and controlling both Guitar and Mic inputs.
