A Message from the UR44 Development Team

Thank you for choosing the UR44 USB audio interface. The UR44 inherits the design philosophy of the previously released UR22, packing essential music production functions into a compact, durable unit that delivers outstanding sound quality on a par with our high-end models, while adding extra capacity and expandability.

The UR44 includes four D-PRE microphone preamplifiers and allows simultaneous recording of up to six channels. Every aspect of the D-PRE preamplifiers has been painstakingly engineered for optimum sound and overall performance, from parts selection to circuit design. These groundbreaking preamplifiers were first introduced in the Yamaha n12 and n8 digital mixing studios and then implemented in the Steinberg MR816 series and UR28M/UR824 interfaces, where they gained a reputation among discerning musicians and engineers for delivering an exquisite balance of smoothly extended highs, detailed midrange, and fat, punchy lows.

Of course there's more to music production than just great preamp performance. The same high quality must be maintained throughout the signal path, right up to the outputs that feed the monitor speakers. The UR44 development team has spared no effort in achieving that goal, with emphasis on realizing eminently clear, detailed spatial imaging and dynamic accuracy: left to right, near to far, loud to soft. The same approach was applied in the UR22, but the UR44 benefits from even further refinement overall. The UR44 also includes True Integrated Monitoring for lag-free monitoring while recording, plus top-class REV-X reverb effects, matching our high-end models for recording comfort, efficiency, and effect capability.

The UR44 additionally features Class Compliant mode for iOS support. In Class Compliant mode, the UR44 works with the iPad. It can be used with iOS compatible music production applications such as Steinberg Cubasis for convenient high-quality recording anywhere, at any time. There is also a loopback function that facilitates video delivery and other Internet related activities.

Top-quality recording capability is now available to just about anyone. It is our sincere hope that the UR44 will become a valued creative tool for all artists and engineers who work with sound, from beginners to seasoned professionals.

Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip (Compressor and Equalizer)

Overview

The Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip ("Channel Strip" for short) is a multi-effect that combines compression and EQ. Advanced sound engineering know-how is condensed into a number of convenient presets that can be simply and instantly recalled, for professional results.

Four channel strips are provided, and each can be assigned to the monitor sound only, or to both the monitor and recorded sound.

The Channel Strip equipped with the device and the Channel Strip of the VST Plug-in version have the same parameters. When using the Channel Strip on Cubase series programs, you can share the settings between the built-in Channel Strip and the Channel Strip of the VST Plug-in version as a preset file. When using the built-in Channel Strip on Cubase series programs, turn on the "Direct Monitoring" setting in the program. Also, when assigning the Channel Strip of the VST Plug-in version to the effect slot on Cubase series programs, select it from the "Dynamics" category (in the case of the default settings). Please note that you cannot use the built-in Channel Strip when the sample rate is set to 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz.

REV-X (Reverb)

Overview

REV-X is a digital reverb platform developed by Yamaha for pro audio applications.

One REV-X effect is included in this unit. Input signals can be sent to the REV-X effect, and the REV-X effect is applied only to the monitor outputs. Three types of REV-X are available: Hall, Room, and Plate.

The hardware REV-X equipped with the device and REV-X of the VST Plug-in version have essentially the same parameters. However, the [OUTPUT] and [MIX] parameters are only available in the VST Plug-in version. When using REV-X on Cubase series programs, you can share the settings between the built-in REV-X and REV-X of the VST Plug-in version as a preset file. When using the built-in REV-X on Cubase series programs, turn on the "Direct Monitoring" setting in the program. Also, when assigning REV-X of the VST Plug-in version to the effect slot on Cubase series programs, select it from the "Reverb" category (in the case of the default settings).

The built-in REV-X is equipped with an "FX Bus" which is used for sending the signal from DAW software to REV-X. For example, to send the recorded audio data to REV-X, you can check the sound with REV-X, which is used for monitoring during the recording.

HINT

Using the GAIN, MASTER, and OUTPUT Controls

The tonal character of the DRIVE and LEAD amp types can be adjusted over a wide range via the GAIN, MASTER, and OUTPUT controls. GAIN adjusts the level of the signal applied to the preamp stage, affecting the amount of distortion produced. MASTER adjusts the output level from the preamp stage that is then fed to power amp stage. The GAIN and MASTER control settings have a large effect on the final sound, and the MASTER control may need to be turned up fairly high in order to drive the power stage sufficiently for optimum tone. The OUTPUT control adjusts the final output level from the amp model without affecting the distortion or tone, and is useful for adjusting the guitar's volume without changing any other aspects of the sound.
