Just put it in and you're done, Win7 but it's around

Eisenhans, 20.06.2018

The UR-RT2 is used in our studio to record and mix vocals.
It is our first USB interface, before that was working with PCI sound card, so I can only give a rating that does not refer to other USB interfaces and makes no comparisons.

To get back to the headline, the device does NOT work on Win7 or can not install, on all system requirements was respected.
The Schmankerl of Steinberg telephone support is that this number can not be reached, so had to be helped themselves.
In the first hours, we were therefore a huge Steinberg in the way.
Only the installation of Win10 brought the success and we were able to get started.

The interface does what it should, just plug it in and off you go.
Steht is on the clear DSP sample rate 192000hz / 24bit selected which this interface wonderfully processed and reproduced.

To record:
The most important thing seems to be what this Transformer contributes to.
Well, that will be for every taste.
The voice is in a word "rustic" and a little bit compressed.
I like this sound, but for quiet music genres it might sound a bit too aggressive.

The operation I personally find a little bulky due to the small wheel.
The headphone output could take a tad more juice.
My Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro eg. definitely have to be linked to an amplifier.
That beats me but not so much on the stomach.

All in all, the device runs wonderfully and I'm glad to use it.

Unfortunately driver issues with Mac under High Sierra

tonnenfrosch, 11.09.2018

In principle a great interface with good sounding preamps.
Unfortunately, during the recordings with Cubase and Garageband, I had some irregular clicks, even with low CPU usage.
Does not have to be like that for everyone but one or the other test report has already noticed the problem.
Pity!
