[@jondart5046]

Absolutely nailed it with the ‘people will listen to it because it’s a great song.’ - so many great songs have terrible recordings and no one cares. If you put the same attention into your songs as you do into making it sound ‘professional’ you could record it on an iPhone and still get a following.

[@rejecht_3042]

factual statement. You can record inside of a closet and gain traction.

I really enjoy your videos and presentation style. You are very helpful and keep us budget guys in mind. Thank you

[@mglohmeyer]

This is a case where I would say, don't waste your money on the UMC22 unless the 16 bit, and the features are exactly what you want. But if you are unsure of your needs, for $30 more, the UMC202HD is well worth it and the much better choice. Not only does it give you 24 bit, but also both inputs are Mic, Line, and Instrument selectable (i.e. you can do stereo mics, or stereo line in like from a stereo synth), pad on those inputs (more input range), and there are separate volume controls for main and headphone out, which you will quickly wish you had if using both headphones and monitor speakers regularly. It is often said, buy it right the first time and you won't have to buy again later. The UMC202HD fits that minimum requirement for most purposes where you need only 2 inputs. The UMC22 does not. Have a little more money? Get the UMC404HD - 4 ins/outs, MIDI in/out, send/return loops, A/B monitor switching.

M-Audio M-Track Solo or Behringer UMC22??

[@AudioTechTV]

I haven’t used the m track solo so I can’t comment. I think the specs are pretty much the same so I’d say go with whatever is cheaper. The m audio has a decent software bundle and the Behringer gets you Waveform OEM which include the collective synth. Go with whichever one you think will fit your needs best.

[@jakzimny6752]

Hey, thanks for the video! I have an amp which has a XLR out and cab sim but not a headphone jack. I heard that the best way to fix that is to connect the DI out into an interface and then just run the headphones into that. Will this do the job? If it's worth getting the other more expensive interface I will but just for the headphones it kinda seems a big ask for an extra £60 so I'm wondering if just for that, it won't really matter and getting a more expensive one would just be a waste. And how will it work if I have the amp slightly breaking up? Thanks again :)

[@AudioTechTV]

If the output is not powered this will work. Meaning that output is not meant to power a cabinet or speaker. Also if the output is line level, which it might be if it has a cabinet sim, you may not need the DI. The DI is meant to bring signals up to line level so if it’s already outputting at line level the DI will be redundant. If you’re just using this for the headphones you can go with any interface really. The more expensive ones will be overkill. If you plan on recording then you may want to grab something that is at least 24 bit. As for the break up. If you can get the break up in the preamp stage and then control the output volume that would be ideal that way you’re not overloading the interface which would sound terrible. If you need to crank the output of the amp to get the desired break up then what you might want to get is a load box. The load box would connect to the powered speaker output of your amp and then connect to your audio interface. It acts like the cabinet and will accept the full power of your amp and then filter it out to a level that your audio interface can handle. So you could have everything dimed and still get a decent input level.

[@federicogonzalezramirez382]

Great advice even 2024

[@roolee2k]

i've read somewhere that if an interface use ASIO4all driver it will worse than using an interface that has a dedicated driver for it. is that true ?

[@samnicholson5051]

Yes. Otherwise they wouldn't make dedicated drivers. Dedicated drivers tend to provide lower latency more stability, features etc.

For voiceovers it likely won’t be noticeable. But if you are doing voiceovers for a company or plan to do them for another company they may request the audio to be recorded at 24 bit 48khz. But if you are just doing this for yourself, you likely won’t notice a difference.

such a glut of $49 interfaces now with the new wave of better usb mics whats your take, zane? ive had the umc202hd for years with no issues

[@AudioTechTV]

I've noticed that the $49 interfaces are all pretty much the same. They have different exteriors and the mic preamp is likely different but the specs are pretty much the same and I'm sure they will sound pretty much the same. Both M-Audio and Behringer make decent quality budget gear. I haven't tested out the M-Track Solo yet but I'm sure it will be very similar in sound to the UMC22. Now my take on cheaper usb mics vs an audio interface and microphone. I would go with the cheap audio interface and microphone. The Fifine K669 is a decent cheap USB mic but I like the idea of having an interface because then I can change up the microphone and have more variety and different mics for different things. For USB mics the really good ones cost $199 and up. And again you're stuck with that one sound. I use the Shure MV51 in pretty much every video I do. It's a USB mic and in my opinion it sounds great. I use it for 1 thing, just my videos. For everything else I use an audio interface and microphone as different things need different mics. So if you're purchasing a USB mic for one thing and you know that mic does a great job at that one thing then go for it but if you like variety (or have a microphone addiction like me) then you might want to get an interface with microphones. You can always keep those mics and upgrade your interface later on. WOW that was a long response. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍

Guys, I've had this for a while. One issue I have had is not having multiple programs audio output since it uses asio4all as a default driver. Is there any work around for this..?

[@AudioTechTV]

Don’t use Asio4all lol. But if you must use it then go into your windows sound settings and find the Behringer device in there. It might be called something else when you just have the default windows driver installed (I think audio codec). In the playback tab for that device go to properties and then click on the advanced tab and under the exclusive mode area, make sure “allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” is unchecked. Then click apply and you may want to do the same thing in the recording tab too.

You can connect connect your monitors no problem. It powers my DT770 250 ohm headphones without any issues so it will power the 80ohm version no problem. And the mic preamp is decent.

We are looking at getting this to use for our live feed. Do you happen to have a video showing how to hook it up to a Behringer digital sound mixer. Coming off of a output going into the Behringer audio interface and into computer. I don't know what output off of the board to use and how to set that up.

[@AudioTechTV]

If you're connecting it to a mixer, I recommend spending about $30 more and getting the Behringer UM202HD. It has 2 line inputs or mic preamps so you can connect a stereo mixer into it. The UMC22 only has 1 mic preamp or line input and you can connect one side of the mixer to the instrument input but it's not going to give you the greatest quality.

[@bethlehembaptistchurchlanc9395]

@@AudioTechTV Well after watching another video of yours, you mentioned your mixer having an audio interface built-in so I searched to see if ours did too. We have the Behringers x32 and it appears that it has it built-in. I just got to set it up now after I buy a USB printer cable. I hope that works. Currently, our sound is routed to our ATEM production switcher, out the HDMI output, and into our capture card. That is how we are getting audio to the computer. It isn't really bad but it seems when someone is signing, all you hear is highs and no mid or bass. It isn't full. So I am thinking sending straight to the computer from the board will be a big improvement.

hey, i dont care that much about recording but i start making beats and i want to get better sound because i think my soundcard on my laptop is not the best, is it the right interface for me ? or still buy something else ? thank you if you answer :D

[@AudioTechTV]

If you aren’t recording anything then y9y won’t really need an audio interface unless you want to connect some studio monitors and other studio gear. But if you are just using loops and samples the audio interface won’t help your sound. If you record midi beats then an interface can help with latency so your timing will be better but if that’s what you want I recommend looking at a Focusrite or Audient interface as they have better latency.

[@AudioTechTV]

The line input has a different impedance level compared to an instrument input. You can connect an instrument to it and see how it sounds. If you think it sounds ok then go for it. Another option would be to grab a DI and then you can connect your guitar to the DI and the DI will go into the line/mic input. That would be ideal. The Behringer DI400p is pretty affordable and sounds decent.

[@lucasjcooper]

how's it work with the behringer xm8500 mic?

[@AudioTechTV]

I have had decent results with the XM8500 and the UMC22. The XM8500 needs quite a bit of gain and the UMC22 can give it that gain as long as you have a strong voice going into it. If you have a softer voice (quieter) you might want to look at getting a condenser mic.

[@onlyrealufos4146]

24bit on 202HD... so it's cheaper than Scarlett Solo anyway.. and the same thing.

[@AudioTechTV]

Yes the 202HD can record 24bit. It would be more similar to the Scarlett 2i2 in terms of inputs and outputs. So better than the solo in regards to I/O but the mic preamps, and converters will be where the big difference is and it will be all up to preference for which is better. Plus included software is another consideration. Behringer make decent quality, budget priced, options for musicians. So the 202HD isn’t a bad choice.

[@AudioTechTV]

That is weird. Mine has been super quiet even with gain hungry dynamic mics. If I crank the gain all the way up then I start hearing noises but I don't need to crank it all the way so it's fine for me. I wonder if it could be driver settings. Like maybe the buffer size is too low or something. Another issue could be the level is turned down in the windows sound properties for the interface. If you go into windows Sound properties , and in the recording tab go into the properties for the behringer interface and make sure the level is at 100. If it isn't at 100 you'll be cranking the gain on your interface and it could be clipping even though it sounds quiet on your computer. Good luck with it. It can be a decent interface if you can get it to work properly.

For recording electric guitar should i get the umc22 or focusrite solo In my country its double the price

[@AudioTechTV]

If you’re just plugging your guitar directly into the audio interface and using an amp sim the UMC22 should be good enough. If you’re recording a mic up to a cabinet the solo will give you better quality but it may not be too noticeable. If you’re just having fun and maybe recording some demo songs at home the UMC22 can deliver quality recordings. But the Solo will give you 24 but recordings and some people may prefer the mic preamp onThe solo but it’s all a preference thing. The Midas preamp on the UMC22 is decent.

can i use this to route audio output from a mac DAW (via USB) to the PA system? 'was thinking of pairing it with a portable logic pro setup and using it just for audio output

[@AudioTechTV]

Yes you can use the rear outputs on this to go direct into a PA. Or you could also use the headphone output to go into the PA whatever works best for you.

I'm thinking of buying the umc22 to connect studio monitors. Is it enough?

[@AudioTechTV]

You can connect monitors to this. If they are powered studio monitors this will be enough. If they aren’t powered then you will need an amplifier between the monitors and the interface.

You said 16 bits but in its specifications says its 24 bits, I'm confused.

Where in its specifications does it say that it’s 24 bit? They’ve avoided stating anything about the bitrate from what I’ve seen.

[@dave.h4075]

My Mic is soft and I can only get peak if I go into the white noise zone. Any ideas?

[@AudioTechTV]

Some mics require more gain then others. First make sure you’re using an xlr to xlr mic cable not an xlr to 1/4” cable. Then you might want to try and project your voice a little more. So the input is louder. Another option would be to purchase a Fethead or cloudlifter which adds clean gain so you can lower the gain on your interface. I use a Fethead now and it works very well. The good thing about it is you can use it with any dynamic mic so even if you decide to get another mic later, the Fethead or cloudlifter will work with it as well.

[@madantmusic3028]

Hey Zane I just got my umcc 22 audio interface and after I record vocals on cakewalk I can hear hiss static sound.How can i remove that?thank you!

[@AudioTechTV]

That could be caused from having the gain for your mic set to loud. A bad cable can cause this too or a problem with a mic. First make sure you’re using an xlr male to xlr female cable with your mic. Not an xlr to 1/4” cable. If you’re using the proper cable try turning the gain down and see if the boss goes a away. It shouldn’t be there if you have the gain around 3/4 of the way even a bit passed that. So almost cranked but not quite. If that gets rid of the hiss but is too quiet, you may need to speak louder and/or speak closer into the mic. If the hiss is still there it could be a bad cable, an issue with the mic, or an issue with the interface itself. You can try moving the interface and maybe relocating the mic, maybe there is some interference.

i got the behringer umc22 and after i record some vocals and i put effects on them they get glitchy and distorted they get normal when i change the input so i record for example on input 1 and when they get distorted i have to change to in 2 but again when i wanna put effects on them they get distorted and glitchy so i have to change the input everytime i wanna put an effect on them anybody got the same issue?

Have you tried increasing the buffer size in the driver control panel?

[@extraaccount2344]

M Track Duo or Behringer UMC22?

[@AudioTechTV]

I haven’t used the M Track Duo. The specs are very similar but the M Track duo has mic preamps. The UMC22 only has one. If you need two mic preamps at the same time go with the M Track Duo. If you don’t need that just go with whatever is cheaper. For entry level audio interfaces both will work great and get you started in making music.

[@blueprintstech5638]

hello i just received this audio interface, but when using it it consistently disconnects and connects and i was wondering if this is a driver issue or usb

That sounds more like a USB/power issue not a driver issue.

[@blueprintstech5638]

@@AudioTechTV is there latency when you plug your headphones into the interface and if so how do you fix this

[@AudioTechTV]

@@blueprintstech5638 all audio interfaces will suffer from latency. To reduce the amount of latency you should either install the Asio driver for the UMC22 or install Asio4all and use that. Then in your daw go into the audio settings and make sure the driver type is set to Asio and select Asio4all or whatever driver you installed as the device. Then you will see a control panel button click that and you can try lowering the buffer size. I show how to setup Asio4all here kzbin.info/www/bejne/apzYi6ahodegY5I The lower the buffer size, the lower the latency. But not all audio interfaces and computers can handle the lowest option so you may need to play around to find the best setting for your setup.

Guys i found some sites saying that the recording is 24bit - 48K...........................

[@AudioTechTV]

I think zzzounds has it listed as 24 bit but it is not. This is a 16 bit audio interface. Will it sound terrible because of that? Absolutely not. It’s still a very capable audio interface but it’s not 24 bit. If that’s something you absolutely must have and you want affordable, look at the Behringer UMC202HD.

You don’t need an activation code to use the umc22. It’s actually plug and play. Just plug it in and it installs a basic driver. If you want an Asio driver you can use Asio4all or there is also a Behringer Asio driver for it.

Sir please ans me which one is best for singing umc22 or um2 and which best daw for singing in this interface

Both are pretty much the same. The UMC22 is just slightly better due to the metal casing and the mic preamp is a little bit brighter. As for DAW it’s whichever one you prefer. Waveform OEM comes with these interfaces and it’s a great DAW. You can also try Cakewalk it’s free.
