So much time spent looking for such a simple f@#$ing question, and here I have found the answer. Thanks man.

5 years later, still a super useful video. I’ve just started using Amplitube 5 and Tonex but realized all of the tones were nearly identical, or had a hint of clean/unprocessed bass. Your video helped me realize thst my settings were wrong for listening to only processed/modeled output. Thanks!

[@fmk52]

Thank you so much! I'm using my UMC-404HD with Jamulus software to rehearse live with our 4-piece band , and I've been trying for weeks to figure out how to monitor the USB coming from Jamulus rather than my local sound. (Monitoring the USB stream coming back from Jamulus rather than your local audio helps overcome some of the latency and allows you to better stay in sync with the rest of the group.) Your explanation of the Main vs Playback output, and the Monitor function as it relates to what's heard in the headphones, is perfect! And may I say that the Behringer manual for the 404 does not remotely provide a clear explanation of how the Main and Playback outputs function, nor how the Monitor knob affects what you're listening to with regards to the local vs USB audio in your earphones. It's actually not that complicated, but their manual just doesn't give you enough detail to understand it! Well done!

[@AdrianClement]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was confusing at first using Ableton Live but I was able to route the metronome and monitor,(audio in my right ear and click in my left ear) through output 1 for headphone jack A, and then stereo out to my camera interface or PA system (depending if im playing a live show in person or streaming) through 3/4 B playback. That way I can have tracks panned for sound quality to the camera and if I want to hear it as stereo in my headphones say after I've established my beat I can just press the B monitor for headphones button and the metronome is gone and I can hear stereo audio to monitor. Lovely!! Just what I wanted! And to eleborate for any Ableton users just make sure your audio settings in preferences is arranged correctly. In my case with the 404HD I need all ins and outs mono and stereo to be on. And so to add to this I can also plug my single PA speaker to output 2 main or playback and have sound simultaneously in conjunction to what I mentioned above. So basiaclly I can record stereo to video while projecting to a small crowd while i perform live and still have the ability to monitor with a click that no one can hear except me. PERFECTO!!!!

As I was mainly looking for an extra output for another mix reference speaker I wanted to use the playback output B for that. As I couldnt route the signal in Garageband I thought It wouldn't work. Although, playback output A send the same signal as the main out so if I want to only listen to an extra reference speaker I can just turn the main volume down on Behringer and control the volume on my extra speaker on my Daw. Thats a workaround in Garageband. Can't have it all in a free program.

Steve, I understand. First time I watched this video, I didn't get it either. But... A simple answer on splitting the signal when playing live with your band: Send audio that you don't want the crowd to hear to 3/4. Press the "Monitor A/B" button down and now the sound that you don't want the crowd to hear is only coming through your headphones in the front of the Behringer UMC404HD (or 3/4 output in the back of the Behringer UMC404HD).

You would need to put the compressor on the output since that is where the interface would send any sounds from the PC. If you were trying to record it, then you could always route it back into one of the channels in sort of a loopback setup.

[@hazreensaiful4534]

first you need to use the ASIO driver from Behringer made for the UMC404HD (you can find it on their website or just search UMC404HD driver). Once you have installed that, you can activate the mono input 1-4 from your DAW (just google on how to activate multiple input for your DAW). And I suggest that you use different DAW as the Audacity is pretty basic (you can try Reaper, Tracktion Waveform Free, Sonar Cakewalk just to name a few).

[@MSS-g7f]

I had a 2017 iPad Pro 10.5" and no sound from the UMC404....this quirk had me confused for a while as I know my way around audio interfaces (I have 5 of them, all working no problem)....Please read on if this is relevant: Remember to turn up the volume controls on the iPad itself. For some reason the digital audio signal is routed via the volume management on the iPad before it gets sent out via the USB back to the interface. I don't know if this applies to other interface brands or not but it is critical to achieving a good output signal.

[@jamielloyd7086]

Doing a long shot by asking this question, but is there any way on the UMC 204HD / 404 HD that we can control the output / volume for the PLAYBACK / OUTPUT that uses the RCA? the 1/2 & 3/4 outputs. I can't figure out how to reduce the volume or at least control it in anyway via the interface

[@TheAudioDabbler]

Unfortunately there is no way via the interface to control the PB outputs. I always used software to do that. I am pretty sure they just send out a line level output signal. So you would need to route them out to a mixer or use a DAW or iPad app like AUM that has a virtual mixer.

hey mate, im looking to use this device as a backing track set up for my band. are you able to route outputs to 1, 2, 3, and 4 individually of each and they be controlled separately of each other at a mixing desk? ie, tracks 1 would play a sample, track 2 would play a bass sample, track three would be something else and so on?

[@xandega]

Same question here. I hope that the main outs and the playback outputs can add up to 8 individual outputs? (4 playback outputs, 2 xlr main outs, 2 TRS main out)

[@bssitsmmsunrr]

Is it impossible to use the UMC1820 completely "offline" (dawless)? Example: I want to use a few synths with my Synthstrom Deluge but I can't get sound out of the Line Outs without activating my DAW/FL Studio where I have to spend time routing like Inputs 5-6 to Line-Out 5-6, etc....!! So annoying to be forced to have a DAW open when a audio interface should just be routing each input to each line output?

[@TheAudioDabbler]

I agree, it is crazy to have to use a DAW but not sure how you could control the routing with the limited physical buttons. Maybe a firmware update could allow you to bake certain routing options into it. Really not designed to be a mixer though. I do use my iPad and an app called AUM, which is a virtual mixer. Works really well.

That should be fairly straight forward. you would just need to make sure you are routing things correctly in your DAW. so input 1 should go out 1, input 2 route it to out 2. Make sure they are all set to mono and it should work going into a 4 track recorder.

Keyboard 2 is assigned in my DAW to channels 3 (Left) and 4 (Right), respectively. On the back of the UMC404HD, I run (1/L) and (2/R) outputs to the left and right inputs for my mixer (for Keyboard 1). Then, I run (3/L) and (4/R) to the left and right inputs for my mixer (for Keyboard 2). Result, I get a stereo mix from my mixer, right?

Depends on what you were using to do live looping. If it is software based then yes. It if it hardware then it might depend on the hardware. The biggest downside to the UMC-404 is that there are no physical controls for the routing. You have to route things via software.

I can play instruments or sing into microphone plugged into Input 1 for example and it is routed to cakewalk and records ok. Any ideas?

[@TheAudioDabbler]

The behringer does not have a built in loopback routing option. There are some loopback software that seems to work pretty good. Since the 404HD does have 4 outputs, you might could loopback yourself using some audio cables.

Thank you so much, I burned a whole day trying to figure out the pb and main outs, so out simply, pb ONLY outputs digital audio, main outputs both audio ins and digital.

[@TheAudioDabbler]

Glad I could help

Thanks for the explanation, helping me make an important decision

Excellent, bravo, you saved my day.......BIG BIG thanks.

i use umc-204HD, i will pair it with a xenyx 1002 fx. can you provide input for the correct cable position?

[@TheAudioDabbler]

I guess it depends on what you want to do. Hook the 204 into the mixer or record the mixer with the 204.

@@TheAudioDabbler i want to recording with studio one DAW. condensor to mixer, mixer to interface (umc) to pc.

[@MangKokow]

Hi, I hope you still monitoring this video, I've been trying to use umc404hd for KZbin LIVE, condenser mic on ch 1, and guitar on ch 2 (from guitar effect line out). I can hear both ch through headphone but only ch 1 recorded to youtube live (no wet guitar). I can get booth ch recorded using OBS, but not if LIVE directly through browser (mozilla firefox), please advice.. thanks in advance 🤘🤘🤘

obs ONLY

Hi, which channel should I use only with headphones connected? A 1-2 or B 3-4? I can hear with both, but does anything change?

[@jungleb]

Thank you for this clarifitaion! One more question. If I would like to connect a headphone (through a cable adapter) to the playback outs, would it be able to drive a headphone?

[@TheAudioDabbler]

That may work but I never tested it. I know that line level like the play back outputs have a different impedance than the headphone outs. Plus you have no control over the PB volume except through the software. If you are trying to hookup multiple headphones then a small 4 channel headphone amp might be a better option. It would also work if you are wanting to monitor out the playback.

[@deddjazz4659]

im trying to hook a subwoofer into this behringer piece, i've set the "main outs", 2 for my 2 way monitor, and 2 for the sub the problem is: I have to cut frequencies on my 2 way monitor, in order to get a good frequence balance between the sub and the monitors. since my old mackie doesnt have a hi pass cutoff, I have to do it on windows, and even tho my sub is on the second "main out" of the UMC404HD, it cannot control it independently, it cuts frequencies on the sub too...

[@TheAudioDabbler]

So the Main outputs and the PB (Playback) outputs 1/2 mirror each other. If you want to use the sub, try sending the signal to channels 3 or 4 as well and hook the sub up to PB 3 or 4.

[@ossiwilliams4619]

Thanks for this explanation. One questions: I would like to use the "stereo/mono" button to control the audio coming from my PC, so i have a mono switch available to me at all time. Currently i have the following settings on my UMC 204HD (nearly identical to the 404): Audio cables running from playback 1-2 to inputs 1 & 2 The output selected in windows is OUT 1-2 Mix knob turned to Input Monitor A/B selected to A. Connected to pc via USB This seems to work, and doesnt seem to create any kind of loop. When selecting mono, the sound is fully mono. I have my monitors connected to the Main Out L & R, and headphones to the headphone jack. But there is a weird anomaly: The Inputs 1 & 2 start to clip already at about 10-15% input gain when turning Gain 1 & Gain 2 knobs. Even with the Pad button pressed (which "reduces input level for connected sources when engaged."), I am hearing the sound at pretty decent volumes when the knobs are at 0%. If i have the volume in windows turned to 100, the 204HD has clipping light flashing already at 0% input gain. Any idea why this could be?

[@thiagoccmorais]

Hey, thanks for yout video. I would want to know how could I send a metronome to the phones, while all the playback goes to the main out? Thanks a lot!

[@lornezanis4930]

Kind of what I'm looking for myself! Still sort of confused after watching this video to be honest.

[@dylanmhauger]

I’m producing a podcast and need to listen live. I can record lines 1-4 perfectly fine, but can’t hear audio from line 2 or 4 as we’re recording. I’ve searched endlessly for a remedy to no avail. What am I doing wrong?!

[@TheAudioDabbler]

I know there was some weird stuff with the headphones and monitoring but I thought 1/2 were linked and 3/4 were linked to the Monitor A/B button. Not sure if you can directly monitor all 4 channels. You might turn the mix knob all the way to PB and monitor with whatever software you are using.

[@LennynSampedro]

amazin vid bro been looking for this!

[@Chesbor]

Hi, i'm wondering if you can use this as a mixer without plugging to a laptop. If you just plug it to the wall will it still send the 4 inputs to the l/r outputs?

[@Iskulaatikko]

Haven’t tried it but i just read in another video someone commented that it works as a mixer without plugged to a computer.

[@TheAgust]

Can i connect normal speakers on mains out using xlr to rca inputs to my normal subwoofer speakers

[@gremwave]

thaaaaank you. gotta make sure before i buy. wish they provided more info about this

[@brianmondy1319]

So I want to run a headphone amp with a trs input. Could I run a trs-trs cable out of playback output 1 into the headphone amp, or do I need to run an rca l/r to trs y cable?

[@didodanieledigesto3132]

Ciao caro.. voglio chiederti una cosa ..come mai nella reistrazione tramite il programma sia su audacity che MBStudio per radio web la voce è mono e non stereo..pur avendo almeno credo collegamenti cavi fatto bene..spero che mi riesci ad aiutare.grazie

[@duesenberger]

Is my unit defect when I hear NOTHING on the playback USB output 3/4? Main out is OK, as well as USB output 1/2.

[@Pentti_Hilkuri]

I have separate 1/2 and 3/4 in playback devices on my UMC204HD.
