Easy to use right out of the box. I had a little trouble getting my phone to connect but I think that had more to do with my phone than the mixer. Laptop and tablet connected with no problems. I love the interface and features. Everything is built in. No peripheral devices needed! Sound is clean and there is lots of headroom. This is a lot more mixer than I need at this time but for the price I've got lot of room to grow.

Works well until the connection to the operator drops, usually in just a couple minutes. Other reviews indicate this was common in Soundcrafts other versions of this mixer. Since my unit is a refurbished unit, I suspect it has an older version wlan radio like those. I have used a wlan extender (a TP Link RE205) with its ethernet port connected to the mixer's copper port to work around the problem. Works much better now. BTW, once the connection drops, the ONLY way to re-establish is to cycle power. In general, its nice and easy to set up someone to control it, just have them use their tablet in the house, but there's something to be said for physical sliders for quick changes.

I own a UI 16 and love it, I wanted more channels so I bought the UI 24R. The wireless is a little undependable so I usually use the ethernet hock up to a laptop. The UI mixers are easy to set up on any gig and I do use the two track USB for our sound tracks. The mixer have all the bells and whistles you need like EQ on mic channels , main & Aux sends. Nice compressors. Great reverbs.

Great features for the price. The firmware updates have provided lots of flexibility in how you manage all your inputs. I play in a five piece rock band; we decided to go with the UI24R so we'd have enough aux's for everyone's monitor mix. It seems like the Ui24R is a giant leap feature wise over it's smaller siblings. From everything I've read, plan on buying a separate WiFi router. The built in unit is really a hot spot and won't hold up in an electronically dense club environment. Finally, watching the tutorials, particularly those done by Soundcraft especially for the Ui24R is highly encouraged.

If you're used to working with DAW's or any kind of other computer based multi-track audio editing software this device isn't too difficult to learn but for someone who is only used to old school analog sound systems where you run a snake and use a physical mixer board it will be a bit of a challenge until they learn the software. With that said this is well worth the money and well worth taking the time to learn how to use it because you will no longer need to run a snake along with a mixing board and a rack of effects so this speeds up the process of setting up and tearing down and this device contains everything you could imagine as far as EQ's, effects along with compressors and gates for each channel along with the ability to use this as a multi-track recorder. In other words, this well worth the money and the time to learn how to use this.Read full review
