Steinberg UR22C Review - Did Steinberg improve the legendary UR22?

[@Dyallo1988]

Probably the best audio interface review I've ever seen! Great detail, hard work and lots of thought and effort in this video. Thank you.

[@LoffysDomain]

Agree. I just discovered this channel. Its quality is super!

[@Iutub0ne_Genzore]

it's the JK way

[@kadmus78]

German(?) reviewer for a German product. Top quality stuff. ;)

[@mnmleung]

@@Silatbule May I ask on what platform you have compatibility and driver issues, please? I am curious. I have it on both Windows 10 and Big Sur (I mainly use Big Sur). Thank you

[@Silatbule]

@@mnmleung Hi, it's fine now. I got to the bottom of the issue. I'd migrated my OS to a new SSD just before buying the UR22C and for some reason it affected my USB driver. I re -installed the USB driver for my motherboard and all was good. I'm actually going to delete my original comments as with hindsight it was a little unfair!

[@andrewculp1378]

The work you do is unparalleled. Simply fantastic! I love how thoroughly you test these interfaces and how plainly you lay it all out for us. You're the first person I point everyone to when I hear they're shopping. Thank you!

[@sirnigelcogs]

I appreciate the detail these videos go into, especially when comparing the interface to other interfaces. The integrated DSP is a nice feature.

[@LoftyAssertions]

I've had mine for 9 years, still going strong!

[@jasonpitre1249]

This is the most professional and succinct gear demo I have ever seen on You Tube. Great job!

[@Souchirouu]

Thank you for actually measuring things. After going through 15+ video's that just list the specs and maybe do a recording this is a breath of fresh air.

[@shannonclemans8432]

This guy is a pro!! He answered questions I would never have thought to ask. And it’s precisely the buying guide you really need.

[@radioraj1]

Thank you for your detail and deep review. I've bought UR22C based on many reviews as well as yours, and I'm very satisfied with this audio-interface. Despite of relative low mic input dynamic range, it is more than enough for my dynamic Sure SM-58 and SM-57 mics with acceptable noise level.

[@Steven-do2dp]

Glad to hear this! As I'm planning to buy this device mainly to record voice & guitar (monitored with FX from the UR22C) to Cubase, with SM-58 & SM-57 mics. After 5 months since your comment, is the UR22C still working well with your SM-58 & SM-57 mics? Thanks!

[@radioraj1]

​@@Steven-do2dp Yes, I can confirm that my SM-57 instrumental and SM-58 vocal mic's working well with UR22C. On video below you can hear the vocal trough SM-58, and all guitars were recorded with help of UR22C audio-interface. By the way, all guitars effects - were provided by UR22C internal DSP. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2PYeYyAlNeVl9E

[@Steven-do2dp]

@@radioraj1 Hey thanks for your answer! Good singing and cool guitar solo sound! Keep up the good work!

[@metal571]

Julian has the best dynamic range 🤓

[@xxslayer255xx]

this is the best review I've ever seen. Hopefully other reviewers can take some notes from you and get their reviews up to this kind of quality

[@hellprod4096]

Hands down the best review I have seen I years. 100% thorough. I just wish that all the audio interface manufacturers could send you all their products for review and pay you for doing so. You could then review all interfaces on the market. High end as well as the cheaper models. I am in the marked for a new interface so a test of USB 3 vs Thunderbolt 2 for RME, UA, Antelope, Presonus and driver support etc would be much appreciated. Especially low end vs High end interface latency. Well done! Keep up the good work:)

[@RomaJazzeff]

Finaly found a usefull review, not like other 100500+ reviews just describing knobs and inputs during 10 minutes. Thank you Julian!

[@oootinanai]

I honestly can't think of anything else you could have covered, and in great detail nonetheless. I hate it when I see "reviews" that basically just read the official specs... That's how it's done people! Keep up the good work :)

[@mixmachineanalog]

did not cover the DA converters dynamic range and response

[@chamindasenadheera4491]

Intelligent reviewer...no blah..He delivers what everybody is expecting👍😊

[@theHAL9000]

Terrific overview of the UR22C; couldn't have been more informative. Thank you!

[@irbismediasg6120]

Dank des internen DSP-Prozessors und des 32-Bit-Busses vollbringt diese Audiokarte wahre Wunder. Meine Erwartungen haben sich erfüllt.

[@oscarpatxot659]

Damn I just got this interface and was looking for reviews of it. And damn was not expecting such an in depth review. Wow.

[@marmanlive]

That is the best ever review I found on internet for Steiberg audio interface, very professional and organized information, thank you so much!

[@kissekahaniyanbyatul3112]

You are the best Julian! So composed and unbiased you have been throughout the video!

[@tahwnikcufos]

Watched your video before picking one of these up today... was really torn between it and the 2i2, in moving away from a dedicated mixing console and PCI sound card. Have to say though, I am really impressed with how well it performs. Using my Shure SRH440's (44 ohm) the phones volume was just to the left of 12 o'clock, and the noise floor was dead silent between audio passages on playback. Plenty powerful enough for an SM57 without a Cloudlifter, but it did round things out nicely when added and let me turn the gain down a bit too. Love your content - thank you!

[@DavidHarry]

Hi Julian. Another great video and production. The 32Bit may be FP within compatible software, although it seems odd that you don’t see it in the ASIO control panel. I’ve had certain interfaces that show up as 32FP with Nuendo but not in other ASIO compliant software. It will, as you’ve said, at least operate internally at 32Bit. Which will really help with summing and rounding things off for anything that may utilise its hardware (presumably a DSP). Again, great video. Cheers, Dave.

[@TheBlackfire89]

loved the review ... i hit it up after you didnt say what impedance you would want to see on the headphones in the big comparison, so now i got the information i was searching and im very happy that i even learned new stuff about the Interface, thanks alot.

[@hotchickenbone]

dont forget about this module. Perfect integration with Cubase DAW. Which is important for Cubase users like myself. Thanks Julian!

[@dg9576]

Great reviews Krauss. I bought the audient Evo 4 from your testing as I am still waiting on a Motu M4 which I had pre-ordered over 5 weeks ago. Some sites have 25th August, but other companies have put it back to sept 25th. Evo turned up today and I am very happy. Originally was going to sell it as soon as motu turns up but I think it'll end up in my laptop bag. Keep it up. Much appreciated.

[@anynhi]

Omg, measurements! Way more value than all those marketing information. Thank you for the good work!

[@tbainbridge]

What an excellent review. Telling us what we want to know, great video work, we can see everything clearly, and extensive testing. This really helped me. Keep going julian :-)

[@A90skidAu]

This was the review I was looking for, thanks for your work!

[@cinmay05]

Thank you. This was very useful. I rely like the attention to detail and the measurements. Also the having a look inside to check the build quality.

[@libertyDude1775]

Excellent review. Considering (IMO) that streamers are an every growing market for budget audio gear, it is nice to see more companies adding "real time" audio processing into smaller units. Thanks for the time you put in to create such thorough test & information.

[@allenthomas182]

Getting those specks on the gear is next level! Helps you make a better decision on what to buy.

[@kafoona]

I love this review. straight to the point

[@higltypig]

just a heads up from a slightly disgruntled UR816C owner. If you use those onboard effects then the midi stability goes out the window. In fact I've not been able to use the midi inputs at all due to this problem. You will need a separate midi interface/usb cable as the one on the unit isn't fit for purpose (both mac and pc drivers)

[@ddankhazi]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you Julian.

[@ArntPetterAndersen]

Very nice review... I was on the fence buying this interface, but I think that now I need to be on the lookout for another Type-C USB interface.. -tnx for the nice review Julian K. -AP.

[@MattiasHolmgren]

Excellent review on the UR22C, I got the mk2 among my interface collection. It's a really solid and simple interface.

[@sikwitit773]

Nice I got the same model but it's hard to record in 192kHz I could only use 96 unless i turn off room reverb during recordings 😭

why when i try to connect to iphone via usb-c.. the output circle keeps flashing??? plus garage band on iphone never identifies the steinberg although iam connecting a yamaha keyboard with banana cable..what is the prob:((

[@JulianKrause]

Hey, the iPhone might not deliver enough power over the USB-C connection. You can try to power the interface with a smartphone charger via the additional micro USB power port.

[@NonzNanu]

@@JulianKrause oh yeah. i ve done it the same way 😀finallly🧐thnks

[@WeTheFriends]

I have been using UR22 since its first version. I also use and 816C for my studio. Each version performed extremely well for me. I also use NI Komplete audio which is also an excellent interface. As far as noise floor is concerned all of them performed at a level where there is any difference in practical usage. Most of the German made interfaces are of extremely good quality. Moreover, UR22C comes with this DSP effects which is no one provides at that price point and the effects are very good. It saves my day when artist asks for a near real-time monitoring with reverb.

[@RaymanFUN]

Bester Mann, danke für den guten Content!

[@angeloyamashita3857]

Thanks for a great review! Just FYI, the 32-bit setting appears to be available only through supported DAWs (e.g. Cubase) and not accessible through the native driver settings. Not sure how meaningful it is given the relatively high EIN covering up any extra bit-resolution.

[@DragonboltBlastter]

I have this interface over a year now... The ''Steinberg'' logo on the top of the interface litterly faded away. Also the paint on master volume knob paint also got deteriorated. I always took great care and NEVER travelled with it. Does anyone have the same issue with this interface? Also is the pre-amp (Yamaha D-Pre) really that bad? Imagine the Yamaha MG series mixers which has the same pre-amps... It makes me want to upgrade to something else maybe SSL2+ or Focusrite Clarett or AXR4U...

[@Taubensohn]

I have the UR22 mk II and i dont have a problem with the paint. But i have a Problem with the Interface itself, Sometimes the Interface just stopped for a second recording and the Output (Headphones & Speakers) is sometimes Distorted for no Reason. I upgraded to Komplete Audio 2 Interface in August an it works fine and also it looks clean and fancy. The UR22 is for Beginner completly fine, but it comes with some problems.

You said that the snr is not the best, compared to other interfaces. does that interface povide more gain than other interfaces?

I just got my UR44C. Prior to this, I was using a Presonus AudioBox and my computer was not handling Spectrasonics Keyscapes at all. It would clip when I was using the plugin. UR44C greatly improved the performance, though I have determined I need to upgrade my computer anyway. I am happy with this product so far.
