Ensembles & Bands

High-quality group recording is at the forefront here. A tonne of inputs and outputs, plus Line, Hi-Z, MIDI and digital inputs mean you can capture multiple (and complex) sources simultaneously. Two headphone outputs ensure you will be able to reference your performance on the fly alongside another player. Vocals and acoustic instruments sound particularly good as a result of premium D-PRE microphone preamps – which help to showcase their best features. The professional standard 32-bit/192kHz recording quality ensures your sessions will sound good, every single time.

Seamless Streaming

Stream a gig, practice session or anything in between to people around the world. This can all be done thanks to the innovative Loopback function. Multiple inputs mean you can support your full band setup, which can then be enhanced using the DSP-based effects. This is everything you’ll need to create the perfect live mix for your livestream.

Mr Len Farmer22nd Feb 2024

The audio interface is very good but the windows software is not so good, When in Mix4 Streaming mode if I try to use an effect on any input including DAW, Music and Voice and the MAIN output the software completely freezes and stops responding, when in Mix1 mode when using a effect it works normally. So I cant use the M.B. compressor in the MAIN Output, this is one of the main reasons for buying this so I can control the volume of the inputs and outputs. I have tried contacting Steinberg support 2 weeks ago and they haven't come back to me I have also posted on the Steinberg forum and the same problem. I know its not my PC as it is very powerful. My PC is hand built using hardware ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI motherboard, CPU = 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K, RAM = Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB RAM, GPU = GeForce GTX 1660 8GB and Windows 11 version 23H2 1 X Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe. – X2 Samsung SSD 870 QVO Plus 2TB I watched a youtube video of Dom Sigalas from Steinberg using the dspMixFx UR-C Version 3 Update software and it worked perfectly but that he was using an Apple Mac. Thanks Len Farmer

Dr Derek Williams21st Feb 2024

Registration of the device with Yamaha Steinberg and its accompanying software dspMixFx_UR-C not so straightforward, and it took several attempts to update the UR816C firmware with different USB C cables before it operated properly, and this is a must. Beware of Command/Control clicking the rotary potentiometer in the cogwheel page when using the additional outputs, because this instantly resets attenuation to 0dB, which coming from -50dB, nearly blew the cones off my speakers, moreover, clicking again doesn't toggle. Keep the control knob on the device near you!
