ESI U22 XT interfaz de audio USB
General
If you want to start producing music using nothing but your computer, some good software, and a microphone, then the ESI U22 XT USB audio interface will set you up with the core of your new studio. Providing fledgling producers with a decent yet affordable start, this USB 2.0 interface plays the role of more standard sound cards, raising the audio quality and setting you up with a solid analogue to digital bridge. The neat and complete U22 XT boasts a 24 bit, 96kHz audio resolution.
The ESI U22 XT Audio Interface
In terms of connection options, the single combo input can be used to plug in both jack-fitted and XLR fitted microphones. Active condenser microphones as well as dynamic microphones are supported since phantom power comes built-in, while the dedicated Hi-Z input can handle line-level instruments, including electric guitars. Hook up your computer via USB, plug in a set of headphones and even some monitor speakers via the RCA or jack ports found on the rear, and you're fully set up.
Bitwig 8-Track
Besides a license for Deckadance LE, ESI have generously thrown in a free copy of Bitwig 8-Track, doubling your investment and completing the production pack. This entry-level DAW gives you everything you need to start producing straight away, so all you need to add is your computer and you have your own home studio. While Bitwig 8-Track is a slimmed down version of Bitwig Studio, you get a streamlined interface and all of the essential tools needed to start shaping your first project and get to grips with the tricks of the trade.

De ESI U22 XT USB audio interface is een aantrekkelijk ogend en kwalitatief luisterend een prima analoge audio interface, die volledig aan mijn wensen toegemoet komt. Het apparaat vond direct binnen een 64 bits Windows zijn USB aansluiting de benodigde drivers en was direct klaar voor gebruik. Flexibele analoge input en output keuze's. Er is geen optische uitgang.
Met de headphone is het geluid helder en prettig met een goede balans tussen laag, midden en hoge frequenties.
De bijgeleverde software voor Direct Wire om diverse audio drivers binnen je systeem te kunnen koppelen lijkt een grote plus.
Andere bonus software Dekadance and Bitwig 8 track zijn dusdanig ingewikkeld om te laden van soms niet bestaande websites en hebben daardoor nog niet tot enig bruikbaar resultaat geleid en doet in vergelijking enigszins afbreuk aan de eenvoudige installatie en gebruik van de ESI U22 XT audio interface zelf.
Ever since my laptop started going slow and my scarlet 2i2 was ruined in a botched potmeter repair, I've been saving patiently to build a new PC and grab a new card to get back in gear and start making tunes again. Working with a tight budget and fearing another RMA nightmare with Focusrite's faulty potmeters I went with the ESI.
It has a similar sturdy build and the pots have good action. It doesn't have two full xlr/line combis like the 2i2 but I can see the stereo inputs on the back having some use if any of you readers are vinyl sampling types. Also you get to keep the extra 40 euro in price difference for some good beers. The drivers worked fine and my test recordings are sounding satisfactory. Another plus is being able to run ASIO in DAW while simultaneously playing other computer audio (bye asio4all) which is good if you're trying maybe to follow youtube tutorials in real time.
BUT! This is where I knock a star off. If you are trying to run anything more than a 44100 sample rate in DAW, any other audio from the computer will make the interface glitch out until it has been reset. Something to keep in mind. Overall a good budget interface.
