Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD Audiophile 2x4 USB Audio/MIDI Interface, Bundle with Tascam DR-05XP Portable Handheld Audio Recorder

Using this with a pair of Presonus Eris E3.5 monitors and Eris Sub8 woofer for hobbyist music production, gaming and general media on a Windows 10 tower running on AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and it performs very well in all regards. ASIO offers good low latency and it doesn't choke too hard when my track/plugin count in Reaper start piling up. Inputs are quite pristine. It looks nice on my desk without being too busy and distracting. The second pair of outputs feed an amplifier/receiver which outputs to a single, old Polk Audio PC speaker for working in mono and as something of a baseline for translatability, which I mention because most of the other 4-output interface options in this range also have 4 inputs, which I don't really need, and why spend money on something you won't use? So kudos to Behringer for offering a quality "in-between" option at a very attractive price-point. Two minor criticisms: First, the phantom power switch for the mic inputs is on the back of the unit, which in my smallish workspace entails having to pull the unit out whenever I want to hook up a condenser mic for some live recording. My second nitpick is the inability to link the gain of the two inputs to a single control, which would be useful when recording from stereo line sources or whenever you want to maintain perfect balance. But at the end of the day, I'm very satisfied with this unit.

Bought this package during the winter holiday season of 2021/2022 - it arrived to an apartment complex in a high congested area of town no issue. Arrived packaged amazing. No dings - still smelled that awesome fresh with all the manuals/packaging bubbles Now with the compatibility using my MacbookPro Late 2015 on Ableton Live 9/Logic Pro X (only ones I?ve personally used) No issue and have tracked guitar amazing no issues /no latency ! I?m running guitar straight into interface / no pedals or amps before I personally love using VSTs (Archetype is my favorite) and that worked amazing with this. Also the bundle chords are great condition for home studio and the lengths are great. I?d recommend this bundle or the Individual items separately. Great and money well invested my fellow musicians! !!!! Better than the FocusRite brand . Only one after this you?ll need is the Apollo brand only because of the onboard PreAmps for pro quality! This behinger definitely competes without that nerdology

Two very solid products. Nothing too special but it was perfect for the things I use it for that are not in the professional world. Love the portability of the Tascam, and the Behringer has been a breeze to setup on my PC.

Great sounds when I record my podcast with the audio interface. Haven’t used the Tascam voice recorder yet but I’m sure it’ll be good too.

The product worked great for almost 2 years, which is pretty good. However, now I've got an issue and they refuse to honor their warranty (which is supposed to last 3 years) because I don't have the original sales receipt. I even registered the product, and have an email from Behringer that my warranty is good until Dec 2019. That email lists terms and conditions, which I have read, and nowhere does it say you need to retain you're original receipt. They have the serial number from my registration, and their own date code, both of which prove it is less than three years old, but they say they won't help without the receipt they never said I should have kept!

This little thingy really impressed me! I use it for Podcast producing and it's just perfect. Will definitely recommend it, specially during the sale days! It drops down to $60

I think this is a pretty good interface. Just one thing surprised me , Main out knob is not controlling your output if you connect your studio monitors through RCA output. I have IK Multimedia ILoud speakers. They only have RCA input. I can’t use that main out knob for the volume. My previous red box interface was controlling it. That’s weird to me and that’s the only reason I give 4 stars. Other than that very very very good interface. Especially for the price.

Use this with my Electro voice mic. I needed a simple connection that would allow signal monitoring with a peaking notice. Downloaded the software with Windows 10 and the camera software detected the interface as an option for audio. I am very happy with my purchase.

I had the Behringer UMC 22 and had many driver issues and couldn't get both channels working with either Audacity or Reaper. I got the UMC 204HD and my troubles ended.The driver. downloaded easily and both channel are working perfectly. I have good volume with low gain in the microphone and the guitar inputs.

I bought this product for a talk show production and I love it. It allows me to control all the volume from computer and Easley integrate it with out videos. Great customer service and quick shipment.
