Steinberg UR22C USB 3.0 Audio-Interface incl MIDI I/O & iPad connectivity

Well, have tried the latest Focusrite and Komplete and you'd think they would have been great, wrong, drivers were a nightmare to configure for windows 10, trying to get either of them to work properly was painful. Both went back after spending hours trying the many fixes on youtube and forums. Finally, this beast just worked straight out of the box. It's built like a tank and the driver installed quickly, no issues whatsoever and everything works perfectly. Sound quality is great, admittedly a little noise if I have the mic too high but voice and guitar sounds crystal. Very pleased and finally enjoying messing around in FL Studio.

Great audio interface. Sturdy and solid build. Great intro pack of kit too (wish it had desk stand in oack for mic). Best for me was Cubase basic license, which can (at the moment) be upgraded to Cubase pro for very cheap! Love the pack and great starter to pro level.

For the money you pay for this it is quality. I was looking at many computer audio recording devices and decided to buy one.Before I was using an Alesis 8 track mixer, and the sound quality was getting worse with a permanent hissing sound in the background on recordings. I brought this to replace it and I am glad I did, the sound quality is clear, and it works very well with Cubase 10.5.When I installed it to work with the DAW it gave me some extra reverb sound effects and compressors which are a great addition.

The product is great and works wonderfully with a great sound quality. However the instructions for getting it up and running with my new iMac were, misleading and therefore very confusing and hugely frustrating; to the point where my Mac came close to getting punched in the screen. Twice.

Fantastic bit of kit with built in features drum, keyboard effects ,solid construction with tons of videos on you tube explaining how to get the best out of thIs DAW interface , very pleased

I bought this interface as a new product, damaged box, so that’s what I expected to arrive.When it arrived I was surprised that the packaging was in good condition, that’s when this got problematic.The interface itself is great, it’s in perfect condition and works well, it’s a great option as it’s robust and has the ability to be powered via a usb power bank which it amazing if you want to use it away from home.It arrived with 4 software codes, these are,1, to register the interface itself,2, to install Cubase AI LE the DAW,3, to install the basic fx software4, to add Steinberg plus which is some additional functionality for cubase.Unfortunately when I attempted to use these the codes for the basic fx suite and the Steinberg plus had already been used.I informed Amazon who would have accepted a return, however as a replacement wasn’t available for several months I decided to try Steinberg support first. The issue was raised to them the same day and it’s now 3 weeks later and I still haven’t received any response, not even an acknowledgment. The contact number is international as they are based in Germany, it’s only available for 2 hours a day and currently is permanently unavailable due to “an incident”.I have managed to register the hardware and Cubase, I eventually managed to get a working code for the basic fx suite thanks to help from the user forum. So I’m up and running but it’s been a trauma.Problems aside the registration process is confusing and convoluted, they have two licensing systems, one is currently being replaced with a account based system but currently both have to used, there is no detail as to which you need to use for each code, and in addition you need to register the old license system within the new system to get anything to function, TBH it’s awful.So now I’m actually setup what’s it like to use?It actually really good, the hardware is great, the basic software is ok once you sort inputs and outputs, it also has an iOS version of the basic software so it can be used with an iPhone or IPad which again allows anywhere functionality.Cubase LE is a learning curve for anyone new to it but there’s tons of free training available online.The sound quality it great also, perhaps the most important thing at the end of the day.Would I recommend?Well that’s a tough question, I wouldn’t want to struggle with dodgy codes again, the registration process is really not great but the hardware works well. The biggest disappointment has been the total lack of response from the manufacturer, for me that is unforgivable and if I’d have known that at the start I would have returned the device to Amazon but now I’ve registered everything I’ve decided to stick with it, hopefully I won’t live to regret it.

Comes with a download code for Cubase. The interface's sound quality is excellent and you can play VST instruments in realtime if you use and tune the Yamaha drivers (and your cpu is up to the task). Works great with my 90's MIDI gear and very stable with my Ryzen 5 laptop.

Lovely little box. Metal case. Nice positive action on the switches. You get a click on the ones that actually turn on and off. Great headphone volume. All the ports feel solid. I use it with Ableton and have no problem with latency.Love it.
