It's fair to say you would expect a lot from Universal Audio. I tested everything to see if they delivered on features, quality, and performance. My review of the Universal Audio VOLT 276 includes: - Features and Controls - Preamp tests with multiple microphones - Vintage 610 Preamp and 76 Compressor emulations - Self-noise measurements (synthetic and real-world) - Headphone Amplifier real-world tests for power and coloration vs impedance - Instrument Inputs with Guitar and Bass - Build Quality - Included Software and Plugins AND - I found a feature that required me to make an entire second video! This is a thorough review to help you decide if the VOLT 276 is the right interface for your studio. Thanks for watching!

This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality panels available at an excellent value.
