All user reviews for the Roland UA-11 Duo-Capture

The Roland Duo Capture is a use interface that is very affordable and easy to set up with a computer. It will work with a PC or a Mac. This interface will record audio at rates of 44.1 and 48 kHz at 24- bit. There are two different inputs on the front of this unit for easy access and direct inputs.

UTILIZATION

This interface is very small and convenient for any musician that likes to travel and record on the go. There is no power supply for it being that it gets its power from the USB input. There is a line in jack, mic and guitar jack ¼, a stereo ¼ input and a phones line out jack. This interface is not very “heavy duty” and I do not think it can hold up for a long time but for the time being it will sound great. It is affordable and will work with any computer.

GETTING STARTED

It does come with a version of CakeWalk which it works with effortlessly because there really are not any drivers to worry about installing. I would not bank on this interface being my only interface or go to interface. It was only used as a back up portable interface for us and it really never got used that much. I think I used it the first time that I got it and maybe one other time. Since then it has been in a gig bag and never used again. Hopefully it still works great after sitting around for all of that time.

OVERALL OPINION

This interface is made out of plastic, if you are looking for something a little more stable and better made I would not get this interface. It looks and feels very cheap like most interfaces fewer than 100 dollars do. If I could do it all over gain I would not have purchased it because I never really use it and I have so many interfaces that are similar to this one.

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it? A few days

What is so special that you love the most, least? Simplicity and robustness. Ergonomics is effective

Did you tried many other models before buying it? Emu 0404 PCI and Konnekt 24D

How would you rate the quality / price? On the Cygnus at 50 euros, it is very good.

With experience, you do again this choice? ... Given my needs, and if she leaves no spin over time, yes. Be aware though a little scared, the input line when the buzz starts to bottom, but the pad is there to correct it and even half was largely what it takes in input volume, so it goes. Small defect also, to change the sampling frequency must be activated a button below the map and disconnect / reconnect.
Otherwise nice discovery of Sonar, but for now deepen ergonomics any tears, true favorite. I dream to purchase Sonar X1 essential, considering the price, it would be a shame not: 79 euros after registering on the site cakewalk.
