Roland Rubix24 2-In/4-Out USB Audio Interface | High-Resolution Audio | Record with Mics, Guitars, Keys & More | Compact & Durable Build | Compatible with Mac, PC & iPad | Expanded I/O Features

After a few years of use, I only really have one bad thing to say about this product so I'll state this first. It was placed on my desk with me beside my MIDI keyboard and I found if you're a gamer, and you tend to rage, or abuse your desk it may have potential to damage your interface. A forceful slam on my desk made the headphone input lose audio in the right ear, so the headphone jack is a little less durable. But on the bright side of things, I'd have to recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing interface for a mid range budget. With a full metal casing, two ports for XLR and 1/4 inch cables, audio monitoring, phantom power, easy install, and easy plug in, how could I not recommend this? As well as having 1/4 inch BALANCED TRS outputs in the back and two ways to power the device. It's very comprehensive, simplistic, yet a powerful little interface. I've had no need to contact the support team with how easy going this interface is, and it reads directly into my DAW or OBS software after the driver setup. It requires a little bit of tampering in your control panel to get it working inside of game chats, and Discord, Zoom, or the like. Easy fix is the set it as your default device, and if it still doesn't work, try another usb port on your motherboard. Hope this helps! and happy recording!

Replaced Quad Capture with Rubix22, missing a few features like built-in compression and quad had better level indicators, but this one works on my 2023 macbook without having to install drivers and has similar quiet pre-amps and handles 192khz without any issue (logic pro). Very solid build. Happy with purchase.

By far the best interface I have used. Look professional, great build quality, literally plug and play usability, thought you will probably get the best performance out of installing the Roland drivers from the website. Zero issues with my Dell XPS i9/Fl Studio. Massive upgrade from Line 6 UX2 and Focusrite, which were both plagued with driver issues and unreliability. If you have any doubts, dont! Get it! Now!

I record VO on a Sennheiser 416. This unit sounds great, very stable drivers on PC (Win7), good value. Only issues are it doesn't come with the software interface that the Quad-Captures came with, making it very difficult to set precise levels. Also no compression with this model. So I will probably unload this and either get the Rubix 24 (for the hardware compression), or find another product that has software for precise level setting. Would prefer to stick with the Rolands as the sound is very good and they work very well on my rig; hopefully Roland will include the software in future releases so I don't have to switch! This is a good solution for a non-professional project studio if precise level setting is not a big issue. Unfortunately, without that software, this is more of a consumer-level product.

Which audio interface you get depends on a lot of personal things. This checked all the boxes for what I need (including MIDI in/out, which a lot of the others in this price range don't have), and I was a little worried about latency issues since it doesn't have the knob to mix input volume w/ DAW volume or whatever that's called, but I haven't had any issue with that at all so far. This thing worked right out of the box (on Mac, so no drives needed), and I love it. I've been struggling figuring out a music workflow for years, and finally this + Ableton Live + an Arturia controller I've had forever and I've recorded almost twenty demos in a month. And having the ability to plug my bass or guitar directly into this and record DI is killer for quickly getting ideas out. I couldn't be happier. I'll update this if I have latency issues in the future, but this box is so good.

After using an M-Audio interface well beyond its support window, it was time to get something new and reliable. I've honestly never been a big fan of certain segments of Roland's offerings - Edirol always seemed overpriced and generic. This, however, hit the same price range as all the other boxes in its space, but offered a few more features, and honestly - looked better. Maybe I've been staring at their 80s synth and fx offerings too much lately, but the RUBIX designs look classy to me. Bought it, plugged it in, worked like a charm. I wouldn't be surprised if we were still running this ten years later - assuming the rest of the world lasts that long.

The sound quality is very good, easy to use, lightweight and easy to carry. Really like this one!

This interface is unpopular and for good reason. In terms of build quality from actual hardware its fine. Good chassis, knobs etc. For the functionality, sound quality and usability its awful. inputs are very low and dim sounding as well as laggy when listening through playback. The DAW says 10ms but the playback is clearly like 60ms, very delayed through the headset. Drivers are awful and software/firmware is nonexistent. You cannot choose proper buffer samples or even custom ones, it doesn't respond through the DAW. Buffer/block samples are selected through a very poorly designed control panel outsourced by steinberg 1-5 with increments that looks like 2 is 144, 3 is 288. (Sample rate/quality cannot be chosen here, you must change them through windows as well). Loopback function wasn't working for me as well, when I switch it on it just turns off all my inputs and I see or hear no signal from anywhere ( not how it works with other units in the past). I am probably doing something wrong, but overall its just not intuitive in comparison to other units and whats worse is that there is no actual description in the manual to instruct how to probably activate the function. So overall owning this has been a huge mess and a waste of time, this was clearly not a upgrade for me from an old presonus audiobox. Very sad, indeed.
