Great audio interface/mixer for the price – does exactly what it’s supposed to and more. The UMC1820 delivers solid sound quality with up to 8 mic/line inputs and 10 outputs, making it a great choice for both home studios and smaller live setups. The built-in MIDAS preamps sound surprisingly good, offering clean and clear audio even with budget microphones. It runs smoothly on both Windows and macOS, and the USB connection is fast and reliable. One thing I do miss is a mute button for each input – it would be really handy to quickly mute a channel without adjusting the gain or unplugging the cable. That’s a small feature that would make a big difference in flexibility. All in all, this is a very versatile and reliable interface, and you really get a lot of value for your money. Highly recommended for anyone who needs multiple inputs without breaking the bank.
