On the other hand, I am not a professional musician so some of the features that are a ‘must’ for them are not critical for my use and an inexpensive interface is fine for me.Īs Nemanja and others have pointed out, Behringer makes a dedicated driver for their UMC interfaces. They have proven to be the absolute best bang for the buck IMO. Audacity will work fine with all four channels on Mac or Linux.Īlmost all commercial software will work with the UMC’s ASIO drivers.I have used the Behringer UMC404HD and UMC1820 for a few years and am very happy with them.

It falls back to the standard Windows stereo drivers.

The free license Steinberg releases ASIO under is incompatible with Audacity’s GPL license. I assume this is in Windows? Audacity, for legal reasons, is incompatible with ASIO drivers. This post: discusses incompatibility between GPL and ASIO license: I’ve read where you can just use the ASIO driver in other programs like Reaper. But the old driver works great if you can get it.Īnd I don’t know if this issue only affects Audacity. Not sure if they will fix this issue in a coming release. I think you can still find the old driver online, but doesn’t look like Behringer provides it. I’ve added a support ticket to Behringer’s support portal but I’m not hopeful.Īfter some more research, it looks like the newer driver from Behringer (4.38) is the problem and no longer supports 4 simultaneous channel recording. Thank you!”īut didn’t give a URL for the download. The 3.29 driver is available through their website if you know the file name (…) and it immediately gave me 4 channels of recording with WASAPI and thus Audacity (2.33 on W10).
