I've been unhappy with every Behringer product I've ever owned. I don't know about this particular unit.but. However, to hear the tracks on top of which you're recording, you need to hit the "To phones" button, and in order to hear both the tracks and what you're currently recording, you need to hit the "To main mix" button. That being said, I think it's pretty good quality for the price and if you can ignore the huge power adapter, it might serve you good.Įdit: it turns out that by default, you can hear what is being recorded via the phones out. That being said, the Behringer has a few disadvantages: it doesn't have direct monitoring on the phones out, meaning that you can't hear what's being recorded while doing so, it only has a single preamp, which can be a bit frustrating if you want to record guitar and vocals at the same time for example, it's a mixer, which means you're going to end up with all your inputs on a single track and unlike the 2i2, it can't run solely on USB power. They're both pretty damn good interfaces with a really low noise floor.

Since this is my first USB interface I was wondering how it stacked up to something like a Scarlett 2i2 so I managed to borrow one from a friend and I can say that there's not that huge of a difference.

Just to give you an idea, here are some recordings I've done using this setup: raw voice / full band, recorded one instrument at a time and mixed together. I didn't have a microphone so I bought a Shure SM58. I actually got one of those from my friends for my birthday a couple of months ago and I've been playing around with it quite a bit.
