Hello! Regarding the #2 note on the compatibility list, you are correct that if you exceed 0db in those softwares the signal will clip. This limitation is caused by the DAW software and could be solved through updates at some point. The volume control in the Mix Control software will allow you to adjust the volume to stay below 0dB. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions, we are happy to help!
Thank you for confirming. I hope with the release of products like this, Apple will recognize the importance of 32-bit float and put out a nice update for us Logic Pro users. Enjoying the unit so far!
This video is very useful. The Zoom compatibility chart says (for Logic Pro and Garageband) "Operation with 32-bit float setting is possible, but values of 0 dB and higher cannot be handled." This video demo illustrates that problem exactly.
Judging from that note you actually still get the advantage of 32 bit float in Logic Pro if you record very quiet signals (less noise), but you are out of luck if the signal clips, the solution could be using passive level attenuators, then the loud signal would unlikely clip and the quite sound would still be fine, as well.
The Zoom uac 232 was disppointing for me because when Zoom annouced it the prototype case was slightly different. The prototype was beautiful and the actual looks ugly as f$@#!...the only thing estheticaly lovely are the blue lights. I think Zoom instead of spending materials in the 8 wheels and in those 4 metal cylinders on the corners; they should have spend it more on a metal casing wich is more practical. And the fact that they use usb as a power supply is a downside. They could had sold the UAC 232 a few bucks more eventhough they will had sold and will sold more. Nice they have premium preamps. I am waiting for the Zoom uac 832... let see if it comes out roughed like advertised.
So I'm wondering. Does the gain work in real time for monitoring? Or will I still have to adjust the gain for mics? Im asking for possible karaokee use
Probably not the best for Karaoke since it'll still clip over the speakers if you get loud and you're not adjusting the (software) input level slider to compensate. If you're recording the Karaoke though, it'll be possible to fix that clipping in post.

Not sure why I watched this. Seems pretty cool though. No lost audio, better sound quality.
Intelligent people watch videos like this.

Will have to keep that in mind. My Zoom L20 only goes to 24
24 bit isn't bad per se, 32 bit just makes it almost impossible to ruin your recordings with gain levels.
Nice ... do you think work with Android phones?
"24 Bit" Typical Apple ;DDD THis is why I Love reaper.
Apple has updated logic recently to work with 32 bit float recording.
Thank-you so much for this - gutted it isn't support in Logic :(
I’m sure they will add it soon. But as of this moment it does not provide the benefit I was hoping for.

Have you tested Final Cut?
