On A Budget? UM2 IS For You
I am a one man band with no need for multi-channel recording, so this unit works out great for me and, frankly, I don't think you need to invest tons of money in order to get a good Home Recording. The UM2 is well under $!00 and gets the job done for me. Good clean sound going in. Good unit.

The thing seems to only work when it wants to, 10 percent of the time or so. When it doesn't, it'll just sit there blinking..taunting you. If you're a reasonable guy like me, you'll probably wanna throw it out the window..and no one would blame you for it. The sound quality through the headphones is godawful too. cheap price, cheaper quality.

The product is called u-phoria, but my experience was anything but euphoric! I bought a brand-new one, and the instrument port didn't even work. Anything I recorded in the other port had loud feedback, buzzing, and signal cuts. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, SPEND MORE ON A BETTER OPTION!!!
Love this product!

Behringer decided to use ASIO4ALL drivers instead of their own, but ASIO4ALL doesn't work properly. The dedicated drivers for this device can be found on forums, but not on Behringer's site, and they don't work properly on Windows 10. Extremely high latency, noisy, and just outright bad. DO NOT CHEAP OUT WITH THIS. Just go ahead and purchase a Focusrite Scarlett Solo or 2i2. It will be more expensive, but those work 100%. I play with a lot of gain presets on Bias FX 2, and the Scarlett does the job very well.
Can't complain

Behringer decided to use the ASIO4ALL driver some time ago and discontinued writing their own drivers for this. Unfortunately, the ASIO4ALL drivers, which are made by a third party, do not work with this device and Windows 10. The original drivers that Behringer did write are available, but not on their site. Unfortunately, those drivers do not work with Windows 10 any longer. If you're using this on Windows 10 you will be forced to use the generic USB audio device drivers which are noisy, whiny, and have high latency. You're better off using your built in audio. Essentially, defeating the entire purpose of using a USB audio interface. It's a total waste of money. Now some folks have gotten the real Behringer drivers working on Windows 8 and previous, so that's something to consider. However, if you're on Windows 10, this thing is just paperweight. I'll be returning it. I've had a long policy of not buying Behringer, but considering I needed something cheap for this particular project I thought I'd roll the dice. I was reminded why I never buy Behringer products.
For times when a quick recording is needed it does it's job.

will this plug into an ipad or do I need to buy some kind of adapter for the usb it comes with?
If you have a 4th generation iPad or newer, any model of the iPad Air, any model of the iPad Pro, or any model of the iPad mini, you'll need Apple's Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to use USB devices.
