Review of UA-1G 1/4" microphone input

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have limited experience so far with this particular model of what used to be an Edirol audio interface, now Cakewalk. I have used a UA-1EX more extensively together with a Behringer mixer for simple audio recordings using up to four microphone inputs. I got the new UA-1G to try out the new Guitar/Mic 1/4" input jack. I also bought a XLR to 1/4" adapter and went straight from either a dynamic or condenser mic through the UA-1G to the computer through the USB. The real test was whether I could get enough gain through the audio interface for decent recordings and I discovered that if you have a weak voice (male or female), the recording levels you receive even with the input dial on max will be quite low. It takes a fairly strong voice with a close mic to make it work well in that configuration unless you don't mind significantly amplifying the signal with your audio software after the recording is made. You can do that...but not always without affecting the quality of the recording. So...if you wish to use the UA-1G for microphone recording direct to your computer, keep in mind that you may have difficulty getting recording levels as strong as you might like. I can't speak for the other features of the UA-1G at this time. It is a nice piece of equipment.

A great purchase

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2011

For the money, this was a great purchase. As a novice musician who is just getting into recording my own material, it works great. My only complaint is that it does not provide phantom power, nor does it have an XLR input. To make my Sennheiser sing, I just use and external phantom power supply and a XLR to 1/4" adapter. This is why I give it four stars instead of five.

Bottom line: This does the job for a decent price. I record all my instruments individually using the UA-1G and lay it all down with Cakewalk for great results on a budget.

Cakewalk UA-1G Audio Interface ( Works With BIAB)

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

My road to the Cakewalk UA-IG began when I decided finally to start recording my guitar using my computer (my desktop computer has a Pentium 4CPU/1.6GHZ/1.0GBRAM -it's a few years old) , so I bought PG Music's "Band In A Box" (BIAB for short). I thought I had joined the new age of recording, but I became completely stymied by latency issues-the time delay in analog/digital conversion. As best as I might try to keep time with rhythm tracks, whatever I recorded would appear sonically, a few milliseconds after what was already recorded! My computer based recording appeared to have ended as quickly as it begun, as recorded tracks were simply unbearable to listen to!

I then started reading more about latency, and using an external audio interface as a solution to the problem. I had also read that some audio interface devices wouldn't work well with "Band In A Box", such as the M-Audio Fast Track Pro (M-Audio is a great company-don't get me wrong). Well, I took a leap and bought the Cakewalk UA-1G Audio Interface. I amy very pleased with this device! It works seamlessly with BIAB-just select the Cakewalk UA-IG as your audio default device on your computer, and as your I/O audio driver in BIAB, and your good to go!!! I don't know how other external audio drivers work with PG Music's BIAB, but the Cakewalk UA-1G is fantastic, as it has eliminated latency, or at least reduced it to a level that I can't notice! For around $80, this thing is great!!!

The UA-IG is designed for recording one instrument at a time, so it you intend to record several instruments simultaneously, you'll need a more advanced audio interface. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the UA-IG again. The only thing I might do over, is get higher wattage powered monitors for my "music workstation" such as the M-Audio BX5A, however the M-Audio AV40's which I purchased are adequate. Cheers!

When it worked, it was great...

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2012

When it was working, this was the best USB audio interface I'd used so far. Previously, I worked with the Behringer UCA202 Audio Interface , but the UA-1G sounded way better. Unfortunately, the nice, clear sound I was getting wasn't meant to last.

The first time my DAW crashed while I was using this, I restarted it and the program (Reaper) told me that there was a problem with my selected audio interface. Opening up the audio preferences, I saw that all the inputs and outputs were missing. Used to this sort of thing, I figured a driver reinstall would solve the problem. I uninstalled, restarted, and started the installation process again. Everything went smoothly until you get to the part of the driver installation process where you plug in the device and the installer auto-detects it. This did not happen -- it just sat there forever (I left it overnight in my frustration). I went through many cycles of unplugs, uninstalls, different ports, and system restores before I could get the device to work again. I belive part of the problem was that after the first install, Windows "helpfully" tried to auto-install the drivers and this interfered with the driver installation program's ability to detect the device. I had another streak of use out of the thing, until my DAW crashed again. I've been trying for most of the night to get it working again, but I'm having no luck. This is too much. Since this device isn't available anymore I'm guessing it's just got an old driver that Windows 7 doesn't like. A pity, but not worth the frustration. I'll find another interface.

Excellent audio interface

I bought this when I purchased Guitar Tracks Pro.
Simple set up. Works great if all you need is a simple USB interface with only a few in's and out's. A cool feature are the RCA inputs. You can dig out old records, cassettes or whatever and
BANG ! All you're old stuff is on the hard drive now ! For the money, it's a nice piece of gear. I'm sure I could have spent a lot more but for what I do, which is original demo's for our band it's just about perfect.

Confusing

I find all of these interfaces and usb connections extremely confusing. I've tried many and none are made very intuitively. Probably better products out there, if not to come.
