Very cheap but also very good
I was really suprised how good this interface was, compared to the price. Its really worth getting and it can compete with interfaces costing the double.
The interface has a very clear and clean sound without any noise. I changed from a older Yamaha/Steinberg interface (CI2+) to this, and the change is incredible. I thought I was becoming deaf at some frequencies (yes, I'm not that young anymore) but found out that it was just because I had a terrible interface before (though many think the CI2+ interface is good - well I know now, its not). So this changed my music, changed my mixing and changed my mastering. I can hear it all more clearly now, and what I make does sound good on other equiptment too. So now at last, I can trust what I hear.
Well its not only positive, sadly. I wish I could pan the channels, but they are all pre-panned in pairs if monitoring the direct input. The panning can be redirected in the DAW of cause, but even there you need to use direct monitoring if for example recording vocals. Well you can put it in mono, but its not the same as being able to pan on the unit. But thats not possible.
The software for the interface is terrible. The mixer looks like something from the late 90's, and there are not many options for tweaking there. But the drivers work without any problem, as long as you dont want to tweak something, which you usually can tweak on other interfaces.
I wish there were lights in the mute buttons, so I didn't wake up the neighbours while sitting with headphones on, not knowing that the output it also sent to the speakers. Well, I may learn to handle it ;-)
Its great with two headphone jacks, where you can send 2 different mixes to. Very usefull.
It would be nice if phantom power could be selected on each channel, but its only selectable for inputs 1 to 4 and 5 to 8. Not individual pr channel. Important to know if connecting mics and other equiptment via XLR on those two groups (1-4, 5-8).
The interface can be expanded via ADAT (ADA8200) with 8 extra inputs and outputs. And the Behringer ADA8200 cost less than this interface, so thats a very nice option to add if you want a total 16 analog inputs and 18 analog outputs.
Well, all in all. This interface is really worth the money. Its cheap and its very very good at that price.

Prisen værd
Jeg har tidligere haft umc404 og det var jeg glad for, men da jeg godt kunne bruge lidt flere indgange købte jeg umc1820. Det er nemt at bruge og knapperne er gode at skrue på. Det lyder godt og passer godt til mine behov og kan nok mere end hvad jeg har brug for. Jeg bruger det primært til at styre lyden på mine synths i mit setup og til mine basser, men selfølgelig også til lidt indspilning. Det er solidt bygget og virker generelt som god kvalitet. Jeg har ihverfald ikke haft nogle problemer med det, og prisen er også helt i orden.

I'm not an audio expert at all.
But this is really, really good. No noise at all. I chose this mainly for the "mute speakers button" feature. Because I was getting sick and tired of turning my studio monitors on and off.
I haven't recorded anything yet. But I use Guitar Rig for practicing and the delay is like 2.6 ms. But I'm not sure if it's because of drivers or interface.
What you need to know is that everything sounds good and there is almost no noise(Depends on patch. But overall it's dead quiet).
Probably not what you need for your million dollar recording studio.
But for home recording/practicing. This is probably the best option.
I should probably state what my hardware is for 2.6 ms. Newest Guitar Rig update and a 6700K
OC to 4.8 ghz.
Small edit. After some time some of the buttons became scratchy sounding. Super annoying. But fixed with a contact cleaner spray in no time. So still awesome.

Looks and acts professional, doesn't sound it
Great hardware, solid knobs, and all of the features you need on a decent audio interface. Great control over monitoring.
Although the preamps are not very loud, but decent for the money.

Billig
Jeg købte en, hvor en af indgangene brændte af efter et par måneder og fik en ny på garantien. (Tak Thomann) I mellemtiden fik jeg købt en Audient som lyder meget bedre. Jeg solgte mit bytte eksemplar til en trommeslager som nu er meget glad for den.

Ustabilt, og ingen direct monitoring af ADAT In
Jeg kan ikke umiddelbart anbefale dette produkt. Det lyder fint, og naar det virker, virker det. Men sammen med min Behringer ADAT 8000 er det desvaerre en smule ustabilt og mister af og til forbindelsen, eller giver mystiske stoejsignaler fra sig.
Derudover aergrer jeg mig ogsaa over, at det ikke understoetter direct monitoring af ADAT inputs. Dette skal gaa via computeren.

Super lydkort, spækket med features, til billige penge
Jeg har ikke afprøvet alle funktioner m.m., men det står hurtigt klart at her er et super lydkort til prisen.
Spækket med in's/out's og features, god solid byggekvalitet (+ det virker ikke billigt), og lyd/preamps er ganske glimrende.
God mulighed for lav latency (dette punkt afhænger også af din computer's egenskaber).
Der er også ADAT indgang, så man nemt kan udvide og smide f.eks 8 ekstra kanaler oveni.
Selvfølgelig findes der bedre lydkort, men intet kan hamle med de features til denne pris.

Eight is Great.
I'm very Happy with this audio interface. Eight inputs at this price range and with this Good Sound quality is just amazing. I would have loved a little more quality feel to the knobs like on the umc404-HD but still this interface gets the job done.
