Effect add ons were varied and sounded quite good in the included Sonar LE. Ive just began to experiment so I know Im just barely getting the tio of the iceberg here of what can be tweeked with the sound. The only thing I noticed, and maybe there is a way around it, but so far it seems that if youre running with live effects, the delay time (latency) will be too much to effectively record while on. However this doesnt pose a problem since the UA- 5. I really like the auto adjusting input levels. Just plug in your instrument/ mic push a button, play for a few seconds and.. Also the i/o options give you many different ways to set up your studio.
I read just enough to make sure I wasnt going to damage anything and I was off. Make sure you do read about the input settings as there are choices on what type of instrument or mic will be used and if it requires additional power.
Sonar looks quite a bit more advanced than Audacity which I had used before, but if you dont want to use it, the device will work with other DAWs as well. The thing I dont often hear in reviews on products like these is how well the item works in real world situations.
Such as its ability to stay on a desk with cords and such plugged in and recording. The UA- 5. 5 passes with flying colors. Inputs are snug and wont pull out everytime you move either. Great all around device. Full bands would want to step up to a device that probably did have more but even then I would still recommend Roland. But because of everything else, still giving perfect for benefit of the doubt. However years had passed and I felt rather newborn once again looking for current solutions.
I liked z. Zounds site setup and their great prices on . Plus quite the catchy name. So after review, site, article and blog seemingly endless research I decided on the UA- 5.
It fit what I would need it for and more. Well after all that reading and decision making I wanted my little device now. Second day shipping slipped fairly easily in. Though Ive always been a bit leary doings so because of other companies lack of follow through, no excuses needed to be made as the audio interface arrived right on time and in great shape. Unfortunately the excitement had to be put off as my PC had given up the ghost before package arrival.
Well last night with new computer on hand I finally got to enjoy the whole process for the first time. The device is exactly what I needed for a smaller home recording setup. The included Sonar LE will take a little getting used to, but I still within 5 to 1. Go to Sonars site for a bunch more free add ons to the LE edition software. This was not only the perfect product, but also the perfect purchase.
I look forward to reviewing the additional $1. Ive ordered from z.

Nice and quiet and transparent. The button that auto- adjusts the peaks of the instruments to - 1. GREAT! I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to record all of your instruments at a semi even volume without a bunch of knob turning. Not that adding volume is hard to do in a DAW, but it just makes sure that you've got enough of a good signal going in, and is just one less thing to think about while being creative.
A few things I don't like are that there's no headphone and speaker separation. If you have headphones and speakers plugged in, You'll be able to hear volume out of both. So to hear just the phones you have to unplug the speakers. Tedious in the mixing stage.
But doesn't get in the way of recording. I also don't like the knobs on the front. But hey, you give some to lose some.
