Connecting a Mini Mac to an interface
How do I connect my new Mini Mac to an interface for audio & recording. I have a Steinberg UR22.
Mac mini, macOS 14.1
Question marked as
Looking on the Steinberg site, I see
Has a USB-C (USB 3.0) connector, and a connector for a 5V power supply.
UR22mkII Recording Pack Elements Edition
UR22mkII USB Audio Interface Value Edition
Has a USB-B (USB 2.0) connector, and a connector for a 5V power supply.
Looking on Amazon, I see
Steinberg UR22 2-Channel USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface
Has a USB-B (USB 2.0) connector.
Amazon also carries a number of USB-C to USB-B adapter cables (search for "USB-C to USB-B cable"). A bunch of these are advertised as being "Printer" and "MIDI" cables (printers being another type of device that often have USB-B (USB 2.0) sockets).
The specifications for the UR22C and UR22mkII mention Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura, but not Sonoma. I could not find specifications for the UR22 on Steinberg's site.
There were a couple of support articles on the site which might be of interest:
Steinberg Support – macOS Ventura Product Compatibility
Steinberg Support – macOS Sonoma Product Compatibility
These refer to a plain UR22 as well as to the UR22mkII and UR22C. Check the lists closely. I do not know, offhand, if the software lists have entries for all of the applications that came with your interface. Steinberg says that "Older products which are not listed won't be supported, and no further updates are planned."
