Killer-staff for home studio
Anton Aus Tirol 02.11.2021
So that story start from the moment when I instaled new OS to my Mac
In that moment my good old M-Audio Ultra 8r become the stone without drivers(thanks Avid ALOT)
So I started to find ideal sound card and ideal store
I readed alot matherials and wathed alot videos and I find this card.
So bealive me this card has ideal combination of price and quality
For home studio it is best choice
So I bought tickets and going to Bamberg drink alot Rauchbier
Because I found ideal card and ideal price(it was a chippest market offer)
Thanks Thomann!
Это история началась, когда я установил новую систему на мой мак
Моя старая карточка превратилась в тыкву так как на новой системе небыло драйверов.
И я начал искать идеальную карту и идеальный магазин.
Я прочёл много материалов и посмотрел много видео.
Так что поверьте мне, эта карта имеет идеальное соотношение цены и качества.
Для домашней студии это лучший выбор
Итак, я купил билеты и собирался в Бамберг выпить много копчённого пива.
Потому что я нашел идеальную карту и идеальную цену (это было самое дешевое рыночное предложение)
Спасибо, Томанн!

Huge disappointment
Liukke 15.07.2020
I bought this card for a couple reasons...I wanted more than 2 inputs, I liked the steinberg branding which meant better interface management, I loved the loopback function and the USB-C self powering connection.
Well, I've got the inputs thankfully!
The steinberg integration seems to...not exist :/ I don't know but even though I installed the steinberg extension there is no sign of additional buttons when opening an audio track.
The loopback function is a half joke, they sponsored it as a way to loopback the daw to inputs 1&2, which is true except, it's looping the whole pc, not the daw (which I assumed was Cubase only), and this means that if you are on a videocall and want to loopback your project the person will also hear his voice back, unless you route the pc listening to somewhere else.
Plus...inputs 1&2 are the only hi-z inputs so yep, no loopback and playing guitar at the same time.
The USB-C power is another joke. The cable the soundcard came with is not enough...when you turn it on it blinks the main knob light, meaning there is not enough power (and I'm using a usb-c Gen3 port).
Don't buy it, it's not yet ready and the usb 2 models are still great and working the same.

Perfect with a fatal flaw
a.l.e.x 02.03.2021
I upgraded to the UR44C (which really is a UR64C, but that's beside the point) since I liked the UR22C I had but needed an upgrade. I like that its bus powered and I can connect it to my iPad. It's easy to setup, even without a driver. However, if you want to make use of all the software, you'll need to buy into the whole Steinberg software ecosystem (eLicense, Driver and dspMix UI). That's ok, but could be streamlined for sure. My MacBook is bloated already and I'm happy for every piece of software I don't need to install. Anyway: The UI is pretty basic but does its job. If you have a DAW you most likely won't use it that much anyway.

Getting to the fatal flaw:
I have it connected and powered through USB-C (one less cable to worry about). Every one in a while the interface crashes my MacBook. The mouse becomes unresponsive, the fans speed up and then boom, the screen goes black. The worst part is, that it causes my speakers to "pop" and I'm a bit afraid it will damage them. I've tried several ways of connecting and several use cases and it seems to happen most often, when connected through a dock or hub and then streaming video off the internet. Which is really annoying if you're in a Zoom call and your MacBook keeps crashing every 15 minutes.
I'm in contact with the Steinberg support but they seems to be unresponsive so far (~2 weeks). I'm hoping this will get resolved soon. In that case it's a pristine interface and a total recommend. Up till now I'd be a bit careful.
