Volt 476 USB Recording Studio

Volt 476 clearly beast

I love my Ua volt 476 compressor 1176 inside is insane u just need to select if is vox or instrument and the quality talk by himself i love the look too wood with aluminum is just vintage and beautiful

Some issues?

A few weird problem. Not sure if they are software or hardware. I have noticed bleed when recording. Switching back to my old interface during the same session fixed this issue so it is happening somewhere in my Volt 476. Also, the output tends to distort when listening to music via Spotify or Roon. Not the audiophile listening experience I was expecting from UA. I have started switching to a different audio interface when I am not recording and want to hear clean audio.

No longer a Focusrite weirdo

I was shocked to see a UA interface at thia price, I've always been a focusrite user but wanted to save up for an apollo. Ran out right away to buy it and my mind was blown, i usually pair it with a AKG perception 420 but can't wait to try it with the classic SM57 I'm pretty sure this has enough gain unlike the focusrite to actually power it properly

My recordings have sounded so much better. I gotta see if you guys make full on digital mixing boards

Expected more for the price

The interface is well made and good looking but compared to my SSL2+ which I hoped the Vold 476 would replace it's not that impressive feature wise. The mic pre-amp seems to have less gains and so do the output amps for the monitors. The monitor source selection is nice but I was hoping that I could have something like a N-1 configuration for one output - similar to a 2nd bus on a mixer or console but that was my mistake for not reading the manual careful enough. Also I don't like that the phantom power switch does not stay on after re-connecting the device. Since the mic pre has less gain I have to use an in-line Triton FETHead to get enough gain for my SM7b without slamming the gain knob almost all the way. The SSL2+ was fine without the FETHead and had a hardware toggle for phantom power which stayed on. So all in all I think I should've sticked with the SSL2+

Driver Windows 10

the drivers for Windows 10 are not stable and I have problems with the plug in, sometimes I have noises and rustles, I solve by uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling everything then please release new drivers for Windows 10

With Volt interface everyone has the chance to make pure and beautiful sound

I have been looking and trying different interfaces and have been struggling with all the noise issues from different interfaces to create contents. I was pleasantly surprised hearing the pure sound of VOLT 467 interface. No more wasting time to troubleshoot. All the energy will be spent on creation.

It took me about 5 minutes to set it up and connect my guitar and bass into it. The sound just dropped my jaw. The Vintage mode makes that guitar sounds so warm. It really sound vintage.

I just realized with what gear all those music were made, we audiophiles try to reproduce with our gears. They were made with UA gears. Thanks to UA now everyone could produce beautiful sounds.

Volt is by far the most elegant interface in its class. I love the retro look of the wood. Those large knobs and buttons on the top making configurations and setup a breeze which is a little harder with interfaces which have many buttons and knobs just in front plate.

While the smaller versions of VOLT won't need extra power supply, VOLT 467 will only function with the additional 5V power supply (USB connection + 5V Power Supply)

There are many useful and expensive software/plugins coming with the interfaces (5 times the price of the interface), however, I wish UA would have also given the option to use the UA own homegrown DAW.
