After the initial firmware update it worked perfectly. D-PRE amps are a bit low but perfectly clear (85db or so?). Plug-and-play in cc mode with Linux. Finicky sometimes when switching sample rates, but once it's going it's perfectly stable & no latency at all. The DAC is better than I expected for the price. I've used all inputs & outputs and it sounds perfect. Haven't tried MIDI. Highly recommend, especially for the price.

This thing is amazing, I thought it was weird at first but it's beautifully flat, and works with anything you throw at it. Even with usb 2.0 the recording latency within cubase is pretty much invisible and it's really the mid/entry level unit you'd want if you're interested in cubase and steinberg in general. I Believe I've owned mine for about 3 years now.

I did not test to many interfaces but I can say that this is not an impressive product, at least for me. 1. Sound quality: marginal improvement over the included sound interface included in my entry level synth, that runs only at 44.1 kHs. UR44 runs up to 192 kHz sampling rate, but the sound is distorted at any value over 48 kHz on Windows 7, I guess you need a supercomputer to run it at higher sampling rates or, the driver needs some work. 2. Latency: at least in my setup I cannot get zero latency as advertised, it is small, but at the highest sampling rate it is still 4.6 ms, at 48 kHz it is 5 ms. Again, it is small, but definitely not zero. In my opinion I think again, the driver is the culprit. By the way the driver date is 2015... so that explains. 3. Build quality: the case is all metal which is a good thing, but, one simple screw in the middle at the top cover would have eliminated the bell like sound you get every time you touch the interface. This shows a lack of attention to details, or simply, maybe they thought you will get a bell instrument also together with the interface... :) 4. In conclusion: I guess you get what you pay for.

I'm running Cubase 8 Pro on Windows 10 and this unit was almost plug and play. Noticeable sound quality improvement over my old Tascam. (I like Tascam too) Nice fit & finish & smart layout of controls & imputs considering how many they fit in such a small box. 2 mics, 2 guitars & a keyboard work just fine with this interface.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
