Top Quality Mic Pre
The mic pre in this unit is awesome. It's quiet and works beautifully with my TLM-103. I love the power options of using the USB2 interface OR using a micro USB connector with a USB charger. If you're using your iPad with this interface, you can use your Apple charger to power this interface while you input to your iPad. I've stopped using my Apogee One in favor of this unit due to the One having some occasional digital noise issues and what I felt was too tubby of a bottom end. The UR-12 is cleaner in A/B comparisons with the One. I am one happy UR-12 customer and HIGHLY recommend this interface.

I would go with another brand, overpriced
Bought this to record on the go, and work out demos before heading to the studio. It worked fine (with poor sound quality though) for a little while, but then the device began to have issues and wasn't connecting to my computer anymore. I looked this up and found that this was a common issue and on their own site and forums it had never been resolved. I tried to return it to them (only owned it for 2 months) but they had pretty terrible customer service and a response time that makes you wonder if they value the customer. I would strongly advise you buy another interface considering new units breaking is an issue for them. You can get the same thing by Behringer but cheaper, wish I would have done that to begin with.

Good solution for studio and remote recording

The pre-amp for the mic input tames a tube amp well enough to pull off serviceable vocals. This is also great for getting quick ideas down on an iPad. It's built like a tank.

This was my first audio interface. What a poor choice. This thing never worked from day one. It cuts out all the time and has many clicking noises. Just read all the other reviews. This is one of the worst products I have ever owned.
Might need some expert help setting up

I bought this to upgrade my old interface. It was clipping out words. After I tweaked everything I knew to tweak and watched YouTube videos, I had to let an engineer look at it. It had to look up the specs and adjust the settings internally for bit rate speed and then it worked perfectly. It works perfectly now, but it was not a pure plug-n-play for me.

Horrible crackling noises that increase until you hit the "power off" red button on any of the amps or accessories. The crackling fades for about ten seconds, then builds up again. Really severe latency issues as well.
It doesn't work at all with my Mac nor my HP laptop.

Will this audio interface work with a dell laptop?I recently purchased a Scarlett that was usb powered in which didn't work for my laptop.So I purchased another one because I thought that it was just faulty and that one didn't work either.So I came to the conclusion that my laptop may not have enough voltage to power a plain usb powered audio interface.There for i'm on the search for an audio interface that has a wall plug in adapter...
System requirements: Windows 7 SP1 / 8 / 8.1, Mac OS X 10.7.5 / 10.8 / 10.9 / 10.10, USB wall charger may be an option.submitted7 years ago
