Audio Interface behringer um22

[Gabriel Corso]

Hello guys!
How are you doing today ?
I am looking at some audio interfaces to record some songs in my computer, and I found myself looking at the Behringer um22.
It costs something like 45 dollars here in Brazil.
Does anyone have it ? Or knows if it’s good ?
Because I am seriously thinking about acquiring one.
Thanks a lot guys!!

I’ve consistently heard bad things about Behringer audio equipment. It *may* be okay, but for my money the entry level FocusRite is going to be a better long-term option, and still at a good price.

 

[Gabriel Corso]

A lot of people seem to think the same way about behringer. That is why I started this question.
I used to have a focus rite but I had to sell it.
So now I wanted to buy some type of similar equipment.
But i think I might save some more money then.
Thanks a lot brother !!

 

[Ed Seith]

Any time, my friend! Good luck!

I just got a focusrite scarlett solo a few weeks ago and I like it. A friend recommended it and I think it’s worth every penny. I don’t remember the price right now but it wasn’t too expensive.
I agree with you that it would be a good idea to save some money

 

[Gabriel Corso]

Thanks everyone!
I really appreciate it !!
Keep rockin

I have one Behringer 202. If your budget allows, definitely go for the Focusrite Scarlett. If not, then UMC 202. Not UM22, because it adds way more noise once you hit the gain around 70%. For UMC 202, it noise level is way lower.

 

[Gabriel Corso]

Oh, I see.
I did not know about this behringer 202. Imma take a look at it aswell.
I am still doing my research on which one i should invest.
Because nowadays I have a simple p10 o usb cable, which does the job, but the quality it is not the best.
Thanks man!!

My vote goes to Focusrite as a user myself. Solid product.

 

[Gabriel Corso]

Thanks for the answers guys!!
One last question:
Do you guys use a microphone to record your amp or plug your guitar directly in the interface using the amp from logic for example?

 

[Filip Tomiša]

I record it directly from my audio interface and then i use bias fx which is an amp simulator. If you want to record it with a mic then get either shure sm57 or audix i5, both are 100$ but it’s way simpler to record it directly through your interface. Make sure you plug your guitar into DI / Hi Z input on your interface cause if you don’t you’ll get way more unwanted noise and your signal is gonna drop

 

[Gabriel Corso]

NICE!
Thanks man! I will certainly keep that in mind when recording

 

[Jeff Pogan]

Go with a focusrite 2i2 or solo!
Great quality and affordable (around $100 usd)

I also plug my guitar in the interface and use amp simulators. You get much better sound quality and you can get a lot of different sounds from the amp modelling software. It’s cool

 

[Sayonil Mitra]

For home studios, it’s cheaper and easier to just plugin the guitar to the interface. My friend works in a recording studio. There they used to put several mics in front of the amp. That’s pro sound though.

 

[Gabriel Corso]

Yes, I think that is the better option. I just want to record some songs for fun!
Thanks !!

I think getting a good quality interface is really important. I bought a cheap one a couple years ago and it’s horrible. Maybe check out the Yamaha THR 10 it’s an amp with a build in interface for your guitar and the sound you can get out of it is pretty good.

 

[Gabriel Corso]

I will take a look at ir as well, mate!
Never heard of Yamaha interfaces, so that is pretty cool to know.
Cheers !

Hello, everyone!!
I know it’s been a long time since I created this topic, but I finally purchased a interface.
I decided to put some money in a Focusrite Scarlet – SOLO.
I did not have time to use it, but I will certainly put out a lot o riffs from now on!!
Also I have adquired a big muff pi, a maxon 808d and a vox 847a wah pedal.
Hope to share some good riffs with you all!!!
Keep rockin’ and thanks a lot again for helping me decide.

That’s awesome, if you have any questions with setting up the interface or any of its features, feel free to ask!
