General
Featuring four combi microphone/line inputs, the U-PHORIA UMC404HD is the largest interface from Behringer's U-PHORIA series. Each microphone input has its own insert, which opens up a world of possibilities, particularly for guitarists and the UMC404HD's preamps were developed by Midas, ensuring top quality. With this audio interface, you'll be able to make 192kHz recordings at a 24-bit rate; plenty of space for full-blown studio projects.
The Behringer U-PHORIA UMC404HD: Latency is No Problem
Despite modern developments in computer technology, latency is still a potential problem when you're recording with digital gear. Due to data processing, the recorded signal is reproduced with a slight delay. Behringer has come up with a clever solution, however, with their direct monitor function which transmits the input signal directly to the headphone output. The result? Latency-free monitoring!
Tracktion Sequencer
To allow you to make the most of this interface, Behringer has developed their own sequencer named Tracktion. It makes recording, mixing and editing a piece of cake and like other famous DAWs, it supports VST and AU plugins. You can also use Tracktion to host virtual instruments and effects by third parties. When you register the interface on Behringer's website you'll get a free download link for the program.

Seen some reviews questioning its ruggedness. Can't comment. Next time I take it out to use as a rugby ball I'll give you my honest opinion.
Seems solid built and sounds great, used for recording guitar/mandolin using a pair of small condenser mics and direct through an instrument cable. Simple to set up and use and very pleasing results so far.
I already use a XENYX QX1222 USB desk, (see my review for details), but I needed more USB streamed Audio Tracks than the 2in/2out available.
This gives me another four Midas Preamp's, plus another four in/outs via USB at a price where I don't mind obtaining more of these units in the future...
The Behringer UMC404HD is perfect for my needs as a home computer music recordist, I can multitrack with four inputs simultaneously now.
Another handy thing was that by downloading the ASIO4ALL driver from a third party, Cubase 8.5 will allow for all the inputs of the Behringer UMC404HD, and my all the inputs from my older Tascam US122 MK2 to be used simultaneously, thus allowing six multitrack recording.
handig voor 4 mic,s aan te sluiten op de computer
mooi en stoer design
Het mooie is: ik heb niet alleen een mooi apparaat gekocht maar ook nog eens een prima service. Een helpdesk die snel en prima reageert. 👍
geen Nederlandstalige vertaling bij de Quick start -guide wel jammer handleiding ?
voor de rest alles OK met dit apparaat !!!

Thursday 7 January 2016 By Richard | Bax MusicThese days, films can be recorded entirely on smartphones, and some YouTubers are more famous than television presenters. The gap between professionals and amateurs is becoming smaller. Cameras on today's smartphones offer excellent image quality that is getting harder and harder to distinguish from 'the real thing'. Sound quality on smartphones, on the other hand, is an area that is still in need of some improvement. That's where the iKlip A/V from IK Multimedia comes in.
