What is an audio interface?
An audio interface, such as the Behringer U-Phoria UM2, allows you to capture or transfer audio signals (guitar, microphone, etc.) to a computer for recording and mixing. This model is particularly appreciated for its simplicity and affordable price. With an XLR input and a 6.35 mm jack input, it allows the simultaneous recording of two audio sources.
Steps to Properly Install UM2 on Windows 10 and Windows 11
- Do not plug in the interface immediately: Just place it on your desk for now.
- Download the appropriate driver: You can download 64 bit driver here.
- Install the driver: Once the file is downloaded and extracted, run the installer. When prompted to plug in the interface, connect it at that point.
- Restart your computer: Once the installation is complete, restart your PC to apply the changes.
- Configure your DAW software: In Reaper, select the “ASIO” audio system and the Behringer USB Audio driver. Adjust the settings to achieve minimal latency while avoiding audio dropouts.
