Excellent Crisp Clean Recordings

by Magnus from Los Angeles, CA USA

Music Background: Hobbyist
Recordings are as accurate and clean as it gets for audio interfaces. I'm not a professional by any means, but as an amateur music hobbyist./producer, I know that this unit captured every detail of my... read more [+] songs which are richly layered with instruments. Very low noisefloor even when the input sensitvity turned way up. I have had mine for over almost two years, and it's working as good as new. The internal hardware mixer,router is easy to set up and use. Highly recommended and worth every dollar if you're serious about making ultra-high quality recordings. close [-]

This thing has FOOTROOM!

by EJ from Granite Falls, Wa
January 19, 2010
Music Background: Pro Guitarist/Synthisist
I'm reiterating previous reviews here, but it can't be overstated...The noise floor is waaay down there (i.e. "footroom"). Coupled with a 64xOS and DAW, the headroom is also huge. The user interface a... read more [+]nd capabilities are superb and intuitive. I have an EMU 12/12 and the interface on that one is far from intuitive. The EMU as a whole is a great system but sub-par as is ANY other PCI or 1394(a) interface when compared to the UA101 (USB 2 is faster btw). Two of these things are easily enough to record a live five piece with no shortcuts. The built in limiter is a touch of genius further lending itself to the unpredictable level spikes inherent to a live situation. I could go on all day about this unit's pros and complete lack of cons, just get one and you'll see what I mean! Cheers. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Derek Senestraro
I've been using this with my laptop, and great sound, simple to use and I really was pleased with SONAR LE. I've been using SONAR Producer and it is great having this on my laptop for getting ideas down and then moving them over to my big system.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
