Overview
Universal Audio adds a Vintage preamp mode modeled on its classic tube preamp to this two in, two out USB-C interface. It records on Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone and ships with LUNA and a suite of UAD plug-ins.
The Vintage mode warms up vocals and guitars at the source, and the bundled compressors and EQs cover mixing. Two inputs suit a singer with a guitar or two podcast hosts. Recording on an iPhone takes extra power and adapters.
Who it's for
Singer songwriters, two person podcasts and streamers who like analog character get a compact recorder and software bundle. Bands tracking drums or several mics at once will need more inputs.
Pros and cons
- Vintage tube preamp mode
- Classic compressor and EQ plug-ins
- LUNA DAW included

- Mobile use needs an external power supply

Performance notes
Vintage mode shapes the preamp's harmonic response at the input, so the color is printed into the take. Converter quality and the bundled UAD processing then govern how polished the final mix sounds.
