Having just lost my dedicated Tascam 24 track unit, I think I want to venture into DAW recording for the first time.

I like the look of the umc1820, but want to know how straight forward it is to set up with FL studio 20.

Could anyone give me assurances from experience, please?

Hi there,

I have a UMC202HD audio interface plugged into my Lenovo laptop, and a pair of Taotronics headphones plugged into the phones jack of the interface with a 1/4" adapter. I recently noticed (through this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkObqRUvpRY) that when I the "left" audio is playing I can hear it in both ears, and with the "right" there's just silence. 

How do I fix this? I've tried re-intalling drivers but that didn't do anything. I also tried to unlink the left and right sides on the UMC control panel "levels" section but that didn't do it.

Any help? Thanks

Hi All

I have a UMC202HD, Windows 10 laptop and Novation Launchkey 37 connected via midi

All was good with the world until i tried conecting my other keyboard via headphone out (keyboard) to UMC Input 1 on the front panel. I can hear the kyboard but only throught the left speaker. The Midi keyboard comes out in stereo still.

A little googling and i find that i need to change from 2-channel to 1-channel in the Behringer UMC control panel windows app.

The problem is that the dropdown in the UMC control panel only lists 2-channel options. I have tried both TS and TRS headphone cables.

What did i miss? How do i get 1-channel options to show up?

FYI

Windows 10 Pro - V10.0.19041

UMC202HD Driver V4.59.56775

While this is a serviceable device, allowing the generic Windows 10 "USB Audio Codec" driver to run the machine causes a lot of issues.  It overdrives the XLR input and creates an almost unusable sound, specifically when I record into Audacity via using a dynamic or condenser microphone.  Since Audacity doesn't use ASIO, ASIO4ALL is pointless for this purpose.  I'm only turning the gain up a little (about 9 o' clock at the most) and I almost always get a low level hum while my voice ends up sounding flat and distorted.  I've tried this on several machines and still no joy.  Also, I'm unable record ANY sound out of the INST 2 input nor hear it via Direct Monitor.

I did find some older drivers that run the UMC22 and they fix all these issues.  The sound is clear (no hum at all) with very little noise and no distortion.  INST 2 inputs are even recordable.  It's still not perfect, but it's far better than being forced to use the built-in Windows 10 drivers.  It would be great if Behringer invested a little time and energy into creating some updated drivers on par with the one I just installed for my UMC204HD, instead of just dumping the ASIO4ALL driver in as a substitute, which it isn't.  It only drives the machine when you use an ASIO-enabled DAW or recording program.  Thinking of returning this item.

my umc204 constantly starts at 48hz, I can't change anything in the umc control panel. all of my daws are set at 44.1hz therefore it doesn't run, it won't even play a file because of the wrong sample rate. I tried setting audio properties in win7 it ignores it and stays at 48hz. please tell me how to change the default setting on this box to 44.1hz when it boots up so I can use this thing!!?

I have both a UMC404HD and UMC1820 that I've been using for a LONG time now. When working with ASIO or Windows WASAPI, the inputs of UMC audio interfaces clip very close to unity (0 dB). For some reason, though, MME and DirectSound drivers for these interfaces have a max level of -6 dB. When recording, this isn't a big issue as it's easy to add digital gain in post. The bigger issue is for real-time use cases like Discord calls, where there's no way to add digital gain to the incoming microphone signal through the UMC driver. This requires everyone in voice calls with me to manually boost my volume level on their end, rather than allowing me to push my loudness to the right level. I ran into a weird situation where I was swapping audio drivers while in a discord call (opened Ableton and started messing around in the audio settings), and the person on the other end mentioned there was a significant jump in volume. At some point, the volume increase reverted and I'm not certain how to reproduce again. This seems to suggest this is a driver-level issue that could be patched with either a firmware or software update. Is there any possibility this could be investigated?

Yes, there are workarounds like using VoiceMeeter, but this shouldn't be an issue for prosumer audio gear, and I don't want to introduce more latency than necessary.

Hi tribe, I have got a new UMC404HD interface and only seem to get 2 of the 4 mic inputs working on my 16GB 2014 Macbook Pro with Protools. I have gone into the Audio MIDI setting within the mac and there dosn't seem to be an option to select the other 2 inputs. It is only recognising the interface as a 2ch unit. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hello,

     In a live broadcast situation, I have an instant audio player on a laptop that can output to two separate sound cards for mixing between audio clips or playing more than one clip with different volume levels.  In the past I have used a USB interface for one output and the headphone jack as the other.  Could I use the UMC404HD to be both of the outputs?  Will the program recognize the two sets of stereo outputs as separate outputs that can be used at the same time?  The program is called Jazler Show.

Thanks!
