- Recording a band at a London venue using the Behringer UMC1820 & a Macbook Air. The recording will be used as the band onstage sound for a video. The FOH console was a Soundcraft Vi2000 digital mixer.

Thankyou so much for posting that. The one video that actually shows 8 inputs directly to 8 tracks on the DAW recording simultaneously, not a load of nonsense about how shiny the metal is and how fab the buttons are . Whilst I'm not planning on going outside I want to record 3 synths and a drum machine at the same time...as they are linked. That should do all 8 tracks 😊
I really appreciate the effort you've put into these videos, especially when working when it's stressful enough! Convinced me to grab the UMC1820 for my home studio, instead of spunking silly money on high end gear too soon
Mixing a live 'multiitrack' can be challenging and most people replace drums etc as well as replay instruments , as well as have overhead and room mics ! This is great , thanks ! I'm doing an actual reel to reel digitised from 30 years ago, no overheads, just close mics and backing vox.Audience noise.The bleed is funny but it is a learning curve.Thanks, I hope they all appreciate your great work.
The Who's Next were really good! \m/
Here’s another one from Friday. I was putzing around with camera not realizing her guitar volume was way down. Very small recorded waveform and yet when I brought it up during mixing it sounds fine. A testament to the 1820 preamps!

nice. impressed with the pickup sound of that acoustic too (didn't see a mic on it)
@@dancetech Yes - pick up.I was also using the ART splitter which I have returned. Why? Well...Lenny's mic, a superb Heil PR35 came out tinny sounding through the splitter. I had to come up with a custom eq setting for this set. After further reading dynamic mics can have their audio degraded through splitters. Phantom mics not so much. I've recorded before with that Heil sans splitter and it's a great mic. So there you go. As it turns out, the 1820 is all I need - highly unlikely I'll need to return more than two ¼" monitor outs to the foh mixer. So I just select 1- 8 and all eight channels are there for the foh.
@@dancetech Also, with only four sources, I was getting the dry audio from the pick up and mics and then sending the monitor mix to the mixer.
Sounds very good!
Really useful man! I want to ask that TRS or XLR of the line in connected to UMC1820?
Great stuff, nice one.
Hello, this is a very useful video. Please tell me, does the behringer um 1820 work on macOS Big Sur? I wanted to buy it, please help.
yes
It sure would be nice to know how to use the rear 14" outputs. Unfortunately Behringer has no tech support other than that Tribe community. Nice people but no answer. Theoretically I should be able to send the signal from input 5 out through output 5 - but it is not a direct output and must be configured through the DAW. If you open up the UMC ASIO driver and go to Audio Device, Advanced, Configure, Volume there are two boxes with sliders. Input and output (not sure I understand the concept of input since the pots on the box control that). No matter how I move the sliders I still get no signal out the back. Not even sure I want it if there's latency since I would be using to return to FOH.
Here’s a UMC 1820 recording I made Saturday with a three piece band. Plenty of head room in the preamps. Mixed when I got home in Acid Pro 10:

I checked it out. Great recording!
Hi, I'm trying to do a similar thing. I feed everything into the UMC1820 and then send each track out to a mixer for PA amplification. In this way I have the sound without effects and with basic levels in the daw without the necessary adjustments for the amplification in the room. Have you done the same?
@@luciomagini1389 I was never able to get a signal out of the rear outputs - only monitor out1&2. Alas it no longer matters as the UMC1820 died on me. Severe dropouts and clicks - recordings became unrepairable. So I bought the Focusrite 18i20 - but now I use it with an ART S8 microphone splitter. That way I can capture the live audio completely independently of the front of house mixer/PA.
@@bobwoolcock I managed instead without particular problems.
I use the cakewalk software and I re-indexed the output of each track from the default "Master" to a specific one of the outputs provided by the 1820.
No drop out problems and great sound thanks to the Midas preamps that work really well.
I had to activate "monitoring" on the tracks you want to send out to the mixer the sound
If I understand the routing well In practice the flow enters the midas preamp, is digitized and recorded but at the same time the analog signal is also sent to the selected out and therefore there is no latency.
The only attention must be paid to the high sensitivity to feedback :-(
The splitter is an interesting solution but i work with some direct instrument input so i need also some adapter to xlr
Can I just use 2 Behringer U-phoria UMC1820 to get to 16 channels. Can they connect via Adat? Or do You have to use the ADA?
You need an ADA, there's no way to connect 2 UMC units.
@@rkruzaful Yeah. I wound up connecting four of the 8200's to get 32 in.
@@rkruzaful couldn't you just plug another one into a different USb port. They wouldn't be linked but in theory that is 16 tracks, or am I being incredibly stupid ?
On macOS you can possibly add both interfaces into a single aggregate device. Don’t know if there is equivalent Windows software to do the same.
Hi !The Umc 1820 works on Macbook pro M1 pro? Thanks
I have you to thank for me deciding to buy the 1820 :) Good purchase! I use Acid Pro 10 in my new Windows 11 laptop for the tracking and then Acid Pro 7 in my desktop for the mixing. 6:1 compression and reverb in tracks plus a little quarter note delay to give the reverb follow more to wok with (thats my theory anyway). Limiter on final two Channel master after a lot of volume envelope points on lead vocal which also has a “vocal detail” preset in the chain.

Fun. See if it's possible to get some bass up. - Yo Yo!
can you share the multitracks file for us to try mixing it?
So merger mixer and umc to DAW sirr..?
my unit started running hot. then headphone stopped working with a cracking sound.
