For songwriting sessions
Gather your friends to produce music in exceptional quality with the UR44C, a rugged, portable audio interface that features flexible inputs and professional-level 32-bit/192 kHz recording quality. Four state-of-the-art D-PRE microphone preamps will capture your vocals and acoustic instruments in stunning detail, while Hi-Z and line inputs, plus MIDI In/Out, allow an entire group to be recorded, capturing the unique vibe of an ensemble performance. With two independent headphone outputs, latency-free monitoring with effects and Cubase AI recording software included, the UR44C is your key to producing great grooves together.

For band recordings
Studio time is expensive, as all bands know, but with the UR44C you can record in your rehearsal space, on stage and indeed anywhere, while not compromising on audio quality. Its rugged but compact, lightweight construction mean it can be taken anywhere and you can use it with both Windows/Macintosh computers and iOS devices. It can even be powered by an iPad Pro or a pocket-sized USB power pack. With onboard DSP effects and plenty of outputs for re-amping, it’s your perfect portable partner for recording on location, then mixing elsewhere.

For performing on stage
The UR44C is a great onstage partner. As well as its rugged, road-ready construction and high-quality, reliable performance, you can use its multiple outputs for click and backing tracks. Mix your live input, via the UR44C’s mic, Hi-Z and line inputs, with playback from the included Cubase AI, another DAW or an iOS recording app and use the MIDI In/Out to incorporate a wide range of hardware and trigger sounds from your VST instruments. It all means you can deliver a full performance, no matter if you’re a solo artist or the member of the band making sure that all backing tracks are played reliably.
