"My first Digital Mixer & Now My Go-To-Console The Ui24r is Awesome"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

I’m having a great time with the Ui24r 2.0. You can set it up for the “Set It & Forget Mix” hands off while playing. I love that cause I play bass and sing. There is so much going on in that little Lite weight box! I use the 1/4 inch jack on the side for Tap Tempo. I can adjust the monitors with my 9.7 inch iPad 2018 as needed and don’t have to signal the sound guy when we use one. The Veiw Groups are very handy. Once I have a balance on the Sub Mixes I set up View Group 1 with 3 Aux’s (Powered Monitors), Vox Sub, GTR Sub, Bass Sub, and 2 VCA’s. One VCA is VERB, CHORUS, and DELAY. THe other is for Drum VERB. You can put them in any order you want! The Preamps are SMOOTH and clean with plenty of headroom. Once you get used to the look of the Editing Options making changes is simple. There’s an available RTA on all the Channels, Monitors, SUB Groups, Mains, and FX’s. AFS Feedback Control is also available on all the Outputs. Priceless!There is EQ, GATE, and COMPRESSION available on the FX’s as well so if you don’t like the sound from a preset you can make the appropriate changes to clean them up. When I play out I use the Multi Track to record the shows. You go to the MTK Configure page and simply tap on the Channels you want to Record. Simple. To start recording you tap the RED BUTTON. To stop Recording you tap the same button.You need a couple of fast read/write USB Drives for this. When you want to play back you simply tap the GREEN SOUND CHECK button. This is cool for listening back to your mix. The mix for this recording comes straight from the Preamps. If you want to hear the mix without FX just tap the FX MUTE BUTTON on the Slide-out Window. This mix can be sent to any of the outputs, including the Aux’s (Monitors). For me this is a great option because I can take the Ui24r back to house and listen for things I might of missed. Things like FX EQing. All in all Gang I’m having a great time messing around with this Mixer. The Machine is intuitive in it’s set up. Once you get used to the layout it’s easier to deal with than a Thanksgiving Dinner. The PATCH BAY is really cool in the 2.0 Version and Saving Shows and Snapshots is pretty straight forward. Uploading & Downloading to and from the USB Drives is simple as well. I always save my Snapshots to the USB Drive just in case the mixer has a brain fart. Thank God that hasn’t happened. I’m really happy with this mixer!
Sound
This Mixer Sounds great! The Preamps are Smooth and Clean with plenty of headroom
Features
The Mixer is packed full of useful good sounding tools
Ease of Use
Punching up a sound is simple and quick. It’s like anything else, you have to spend a little time with it. After that your groovin
Quality
This Mixer is made well. It’s lite weight and easy to move around. So far after 12 shows I can say it reliable in every way. The 3 output knobs are recessed so you would have to try break them. The Front Panel is payed out nicely. Inputs are in Blue and Outputs are in White.
Value
The price point is right. For all the processing this does you can’t beat it.
Manufacturer Support
I haven’t needed to deal with Soundcraft yet so I marked it low. However I’m sure there okay to deal with
The Wow Factor
The processing is the key. Studer Preamps, Lexicon FX, DBX, and DIGITECH. It’s all right at your fingertips.

"So far more than 7 years of use here and overseas, not even one issue!"

This mixer really made me believe on the fact that with this tiny unit you can make extraordinary things! It has more than 600 gigs... but wait! Not only in US. Puerto Rico, Colombia, Portugal, Spain, the Canary Islands (yes just 200 miles away from the Sahara Desert) with 110V and 240V, what can I expect more?.Since I purchased it on April 2017 never had any issue. As a matter of fact, there is a song on all music platforms (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, etc) that was made from a multitrack recording done in this Ui24R, the name is "Volare Salsa Version" if you want to listen to. But the good facts aren't finished yet. I trained my wife to operate this mixer since she all gig use to go with me, and I though could be helpful if she does the FOH mix in order to lift that heavy responsibility from me, well, after a few months she is the official sound tech of my Latin orchestra where I am the lead singer. But wait, this story goes beyond what you can think. She's so good with this mixer, that she did here in Spain the sound for a Rock band and they loved what she did, after recommending here to other bands she started to make money doing sound for not only Rock... Latin, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata bands. She is now a day the third female sound tech of Spain! She is so fast setting up gain structure, EQ, compressors, effects, aux outs and she made every band member to use In Ear Monitors because she loves to record and the recording is much better without the floor monitors bleeding in to the microphones, specially the instruments. She even have a router dedicated for her, and set the mixer to work with the internal router as well so she have every musician controlling the individual mixi each one, as they want because they have the mixer on their devices with a password locked to avoid accidental control of the FOH mix. She loves to do a rehearsal with our band and take the mixer to the practice, she records multitrack and then the day of the show, no one needs to be present for the sound check, we go to the venue a couple of hours before set up and hit the "soundcheck" button, then we make the sound test with no orchestra, no hassle, specially when we have 8 -12 pieces band... we also save money because only buy snacks and refreshments for only us!We have the mixer on a shallow rack case since the purchase in pristine cosmetic condition, with the last firmware (3.5) updated, I think that we will have the Soundcraft Ui24R for many upcoming years!
Sound
The first thing useful in this mixer is set the gain structure. After that, everything is easier!
Features
The most useful feature for me is the Multitrack Recording, a good quality flash drive, is just what I need. Also I have another plash drive with a lot of music and backing tracks, whether to play something while the crowd id dining or in a band break, or to shoot the backing tracks when is a small band or a solo performer.
Ease of Use
Intuitive and easy to, if you did not read the manual to reach something and achieve what you need to do, even if doing learning by error.
Quality
Its metal housing gives a robust and rugged construction for the road.
Value
I purchased for a price that have increased significantly in almost 40%, but all the mixers with similar features did as well, so I think it is worth the price, compared to.
Manufacturer Support
Because since April 2017 I never had any issue, I never have been in contact with technical support for a problem, hopefully will not.
The Wow Factor
I owned, and own in order of date, first to last: Mackie DL1608, QSC TouchMix 20, Soundcraft Ui12, Soundcraft Ui16, Behringer XR12, Behringer XR18, Mackie DL806, and Mackie DL16S.This Soundcraft Ui24R is still active and a Allen & Heath CQ-18T as well, the CQ is for small bands.

"I like this better then TouchMix!"

I've used every type of live console. I regularly use a Touch Mix 30 at my church, which I love, but I get 99% of the same functionality for more than half the price with this Soundcraft Ui24. This thing is just so well thought out! Simple navigation details like swiping to get all your channels and not being locked to 8 channels a page are huge. I was skeptical about a web page GUI, but it's amazingly responsive. It works every bit as well as the apps required by other digital mixers and literally works on anything with a browser. You will not get more for the money with this thing. I can't believe the price point. I bought this for our church band to run live on the road. We use IEM's so the 8 AUX are what drew me to the Ui24. Even the MP3 player is awesome! Version 3 firmware allows you to cascade a second unit for even more I/O. I can't say enough about this thing. I've researched a lot of digital mixers, I use QSC all the time, and I really love this Soundcraft Mixer. If you want to replace racks full of outboard gear and streamline your live PA rig, Just grab this thing. You'll love it.

"Best Balance Of Features Of All Digital Rack Mixers"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
So I obsessed over which rackmount digital mixer to get for about 6 months. I really liked the mackie dl32r, but there's not PC support yet and that's quite a price jump, though I would have done it with some better effects, feedback suppression current PC support, and the newer dl32s does have PC support and a nice GUI but nothing outstanding for effects, and the pres seem to get mixed reviews. A&H, ipad only. The soundcraft has great warm sounding Studer pres, 20 xlr's, the effects are by reputable companies, and the feedback suppression is a great option no one else seems to have. The multitrack recording feature is great. I'm still torn on the browser based GUI, but it seems to be stable, just a different take than that others, I suppose. WiFi is stable. All in all, it just seems to have a great balance between the others in the same price range and a little higher. If they came out with a 32 or even a 48 version, I'd be in! One complaint, there are screw holes and a vent on the back for a fan, but there's no fan installed in there, so that is a bit questionable. Might just add one myself. I feel it will also be a great option for implementing IEM's where each person can control their own mix, if I ever get involved with my own live band again.

"Fantastic Digital Mixer"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is quite an upgrade from the Behringer X air I've been using for years. There's nothing wrong with the xair board. I just wanted to upgrade and have a backup. My Behringer board is about 6 or 7 years old now. We all know that behringer makes some decent stuff but they aren't exactly known for their long term reliability. Enter the Soundcraft ui24r. This thing does nearly everything the behringer does plus it has some features the behringer doesn't. Like on board multitrack recording and soundcheck mode. Soundcheck mode alone is worth the price difference. The preamps in the ui24r make the xair seem muddy and lifeless. Usb routing can get a little confusing in the ui24r but not so bad that it's frustrating to use. YouTube is your friend. There are many videos detailing what to do and how to do it.

AFTER 30 YEARS+,, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST WIRELESS MIXER. I'VE WORKED WITH SEVERAL AND ENJOYED THE Soundcraft Ui24R Rack Mount. AS FOR THE PROBLEM OF DROPPING SIGNALS, YOU SHOULD HAVE A ROUTER PLUGGED TO IT AND SETUP HIGH AS POSSIBLE DON'T FORGET TO PASSWORD PROTECT THE LOGIN. IT'S A 2.4 WIRELESS CONNECTION AND BODIES, METAL, RADIO SIGNALS AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO THINK IT'S FUN TO JACK WITH YOUR UI24R CONNECTION. RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL.

"Awesome Mixer"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)

I was very apprehensive about a digital mixer but after all the research I finally decided to get the Ui24R. At first it is a little scary due to the fact that there is no console with physical buttons. I use a combo of a 23inch touch screen monitor, Ipad and a macbook pro hooked up directly up to the mixer via ethernet cord. It works perfectly very happy with this purchase.
