Great Interface and Very Easy to Use
Lots of instructional videos on the Universal Audio Volt 2 are available, but I found it very easy and intuitive to use. Sweetwater also have great resources available on their website should you want to learn more about audio interfaces in general.
Great sound
Easy to record, as a multi instrumentalist I need great sound, I play Fiddle, guitar, bass, mandolin. I'm very happy with the results, and thanks to Adrian, for the support and help he gave me!
Amazing
I'm no expert with audio recording or anything in that world of music, I use it simply to eliminate lugging around a guitar amp from place to place and for that purpose this interface is PERFECT. Very simple and easy to use, and the programs that it comes with for free are an absolute bonus!
Solid piece of equipment for the cost
It does what its supposed to do, and comes with a pretty significant software bundle if you're just starting out. I use it as a midi-out/line-in recording interface and it works fine. If you're cross shopping it with the Focusrite Scarlet, I don't know if the little "vintage" button on this one really sets it apart.
At least for my home setup, I think the more expensive model with the compressor would be a better option. Not because of the compressor, but just because the signal plugs seem to all be on the same side. With this (and many many others in the segment) your mic/line input will be on the front, and the midi outs, USB and mains monitors will be on the back. It makes it so I usually have to sit it sideways whenever I'm using it. Not a unique problem to this product (Scarlet is the same way) but it would probably be worth the extra $ to avoid this AND get a compressor if you're also a desktop studio-type person.
Exellent
The only reason I give it a 4 star it's because there is a delay when you monitor your self . Other than that it's a great sound card. I use the Behringer Euphoria as well and doesn't have a delay when you monitor your self . If you can deal with the delay its an Exellent quality card, build like a tank., And the Vintage sound fiture it's cool.
Good Value
I needed to replace my audio interface, but didn't want to spend a lot of money. The Universal Audio Volt 2 turned out to be better than the more expensive unit it replaced. With the Volt I can finally get a nice sound on acoustic instruments using condenser mics. There is a tiny bit of latency using headphones while recording, which is why I gave it 4 stars.
Good and quiet
I did alot of comaprison shopping and decided the US Volt 2 to be the best for the price. It does exactly what is proposes to do. Its also very quiet. If there is one criticism, its that the IN/Out Midi interface isn't the most necessary component and doesn't configure well (my experience and opinion) as a result, I am still using my MIdiman, but most folks have switched to USB input keyboards anyway.
