Using a 2009 Roland UA-25EX Audio Interface in 2021

[Turnah]

Still using mine in 2024 for all voice overs. It's a beast. Has phantom power too which is handy. TBH I have never hit a limitation that made me think to upgrade. Running on Windows 10. Looks like the "EX" model is 2008 apparently.

I have one of these...they are solid performing units. I use Macs and Roland doesn't have drivers for the latest OS's. Still, I find lots of uses for it on some of my older Macs.

I've owned a UA-25EX for about 10 years and the device is built like a tank. I predominantly use it for tracking my guitar/bass/vocals in my demo songs. Although I have used it to record my band at rehearsal. I'm using Cubase as my DAW. This little thing just works. It's a shame it doesn't have a visual meter for the input level.

Nice! Still using my old UA-25EX, after a 10 year hiatus, for recording voice & guitar with Cubase12 on Windows10! The drivers for Windows10 seem defective, so I managed to make the UA-25EX work by using the free universal driver ASIO4ALL, which acts as a connection bridge between the UA-25EX and Cubase. Latency is low, sound is good and it works very well! I bought a 2023 Steinberg audio interface just in case, but it is still in its box, the UA-25EX keeping "sitting on the audio throne"!

I have one for the road and one at home and I absolutely love these little devices.

still have one and justing it just fine, works like a champ!

[Gishard]

Still one of the best preamps on a interface out there warm

Still have and use mine word of warning Roland hampered the drivers for the UA-25 on windows 10. Works great on Linux but you can install the drivers on Windows 10 it's just a bit faffy

I just picked up a UA-25EX for free, someone was giving it away on my local free FB group.
Using it on Win10 and Pro Tools Intro. It's my first external audio interface, all I had before was a Behringer USB mic. (Bigfoot)
Looking forward to messing around with an acoustic guitar (with built in pickup) plugged straight in, may also mic it up and see what sweet sounds I can get. So far does a nice job :)

2023 and I'm still using my UA25 with the free Cakewalk Sonar that came with a Boss Micro BR80. I upgraded to Windows 10 (32 bit) but the UA25 is not supported. However, I found a workaround on YouTube with W8 and Vista drivers. I record guitar work and the latency is only 80ms. When it goes I'll have to renew PC, interface and learn a new DAW 😮. To record mono just press the switch in top right labelled "mono" 😂.

They also make a good optical DAC with your TV. You don't need drivers, I think you might need to select simple mode. FYI you should be able to lower the latency via the driver. I'ma try it myself.

My plaque of song Edirol UA-25, stopped to make capture suddenly, I can not capture for 2 months . Suddenly it has activated Digital function IN & it's showing Red light and it doesn't stop till now. I want to know how to fix It, Help me!

[MetinOzel]

I have one of these too, for music production. I record percussion and vocals. it records no worse than new sound cards. The preams of this product are great!
ryzen5 2600, 16gb, w10 pc, studioone 5. with new asio4all driver and minimal lag. headphone output is also good. I'm using a 250 ohm beyerdynamic dt150
sorry my bad english

[TheDddkkk]

i prefer the firewire version, but i have both. also the fa-101. its just easier on fire wire. Make sure under windows 10 you have a via interface card, no TI.

Sir My audio activity on cubase 5 is not reading. Although the recording is done but how can I set my edirol u25 for the mic switch regulator to read on cubase 5

[yeboahjuniorisaac]

Hello sir, please can you send me the actual website link for me to download the main edirol ua-25ex

[hostsofmichael]

Same device and same mic but having issues with OBS. The sounds is super super quiet at your settings, but if I crank up the sensitivity there is crazy hiss

[Kalygrooves]

have mines for 15 years now running on windows 10

[GuitarGare]

I was just given one of these from a dear friend yesterday.
Did you figure out the mono record feature yet?
I was just going to use this for performing live. Does the 'mono button' on the front help?
I think my 'out' will be via the rca's into a Y jack and then into a DI.
My other interface is the tapco "LINK.USB" 2x2. I be the king of old gear. har! lol

[essienlawrence]

having blue screen when installing drivers. any help.
