#Yamaha audiogram 3 reviews upgrade#
Yamaha should upgrade this interface to USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) technology. I noticed some pops and clicks when recording the vocals on multiple channels and I guess that working with USB 1.1 technology (12 Mbit/s) is one of the reasons for this issue. The preamps are ok, but I didn’t notice something spectacular in that regard. Even so, having a single knob for compression seems too simplistic to be real, since audio compression is more than switching something to on/off. The other audio interfaces in this price range lack this feature, and it is one of the reasons you could think of getting this interface. One of the features that got my attention was the hardware compression.

This is probably one of the audio interfaces that I would recommend for entry-levels musicians and folks involved in audio podcasting. You will find there just the USB cable slot that connects the device to the computer. There is no actual back panel for this audio interface. There is also a stereo output and a headphone output. Every input has a red peak LED that will notify you when the audio levels are getting too high. The control panel has 4 buttons: two for switching between a microphone and an instrument, a mono/stereo switch and a Phantom Power switch for condenser mics. Just like most audio interfaces today, this Yamaha device has 2 microphone / Hi-Z inputs and additional 2 more stereo line-in inputs. You will also find a DAW control know and a master level. Once you take a quick look at the control area, you will learn that the device has knobs that control the preamps, the compression and the input level. I got my hands on a white model, and as far as I know, this is the only available color. I’m not necessarily a big fan of this design, but I will admit that the body is light weighted, sleek and solid. Most users love the fact that this audio interface looks like a mixer. Although it looks like a mixer, it has the same common functions of a normal external audio interface found at the same price.

It should make your job on building a home recording studio easier, since it’s easy to install and easy to use. This audio interface powered by USB has been designed with care (at least according to the manufacturer) and it actually packs surprising features. Yamaha has been building audio products for some time, and their Yamaha Studio Monitors are actually praised by a lot of musicians.
