UA Volt 1 USB Audio Interface Recording, Podcasting, And Streaming

This is my 1st ever Volt interface, and I'm happy with it. I bought the 276. I use it for recording metal guitars and vocals, and am happy with the pre amps. My only gripe is the compressor button will introduce a loud noise floor, so use at caution. I don't ever use it for recording vocals/guitars, but sometimes use it when chatting over discord etc. The compressor is basically a gimmick.Built quality is sturdy and nice, the interface looks really cool. The headphone input has TONS of volume so no worries about lack of volume when recording and listening. The vintage mode adds some nice warmth to my guitars and vocals.The installation and set up was easy as 123, and the free bundled software is really cool. Comes with Ableton Lite, several plug ins etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone not sure about this interface.Every now and then I will hear some crackling but this is due to me needing to update my PC's bios. I am using Windows 11.

I've used this interface for months now and am very happy with it.The pros outweigh the cons at this pricepoint, and I'm confident to say that anyone seeking a new audio interface will be happy with this one.PROS:-The connectivity is very good, 2x XLR or 1/4" input on the front, 1/4" jack line level inputs on the back. 4 channels (1/2 in-out, 3/4 in-out)-Mic preamps sound very nice, and line level is clean and uncoloured. This was hugely important for me!-Styling is pleasing (wood panels a nice touch), build quality good.-USB C is a great improvement for this type of equipment as it powers the unit as well.*-Works instantly with Logic Pro and other Mac softwareCONS:-The meters on the front are very low-res, so it's not really possible to garner any info about your signal other than it's loud or quiet-I know I said styling is nice, but the knobs are a bit plasticky-It would've been really nice to have a second USB C socket on the back to daisychain power or use it as a hub of sorts.*

Brilliant soundcard, sturdy quality and good settings. The extra UAD software made it a no brainer for the money.

Really easy to set up. Sounds great. Handy if you have the the double socket charger for the mac. If you short on electronic sockets like I am the only negative otherwise sets itself up. Sounds great.

Works well. Easy to use. Feels quality. Sounds great!

This interface is very good quality for recording, the included compressor and vintage circuits that emulate classic equipment do make a big difference to the sound, they add warmth and hardward compression to an already good tone. The included software plugins also give a huge arsenal of audio options to bring your creations to life in the mix. So far Im very pleased with this and I have been recording more of my guitar sessions as a result.

Amazing product and works perfectly - for the quality you get from this item it makes the price an absolute bargain. I use it with my electric guitar and I am so glad I went with this product!

Happy with the features and audio quality. Haven't used it much for DAW stuff, but briefly played with the preamp which sounds decent for the money.
