All user reviews for the Behringer F-Control Audio FCA202

I buy the behringer especially for its firewire port (most effective for music)
I use it in her home studio is connected to my console (alto L-12) and I connected to my desktop
I use it with sonar home studio 4, I had some problem in d.but configuration friends quickly rglbr trs />
2 input 1 / 4
Outpout 2 1 / 4
Earphone output 1 / 4
2 firewire output
Everything it takes when using a console

UTILIZATION

I use it for a few weeks the sound is not clear trs frquence parasite.
I had some rpoblme to install it on sonar, but once the problem is all rgl numro 1

Not yet had need of the manual.

GETTING STARTED

The use will do well trs encountered any problem with the sound.
I l, much apprcie
I can record two tracks simultaneously.

OVERALL OPINION

UTILIZATION

The installation is fully Droulez no problem of conflict or anything other.

GETTING STARTED

I am hyper dcu, because it is not a use I wanted to do, among other things use it with ableton live, we quickly realized that the output is not dispatchable of cask other outputs, the blow to pr-cost sound before launching it on the master is DEAD!

Cot latency, there's nothing to say it's okay.

OVERALL OPINION

OVERALL I used just one week.

and seeing the advertising they do on ableton live on the main card> here (http://www.behringer.com/FCA202/index.cfm?lang=FRE). I really wonder if they test the card, and if so, I would say that one should think of hiring staff.
Maybe with an update of my drivers this problem could rgl but I highly doubt!

While the use of this card would be perfect to use a kind Arturia Moog Modular synth standalone, plugged into a mixer. But not really to make music production overall.

So if c'tait a remake for me concernce, I will launch a big "NOOOOOOON!"

I feel like I just ripped off ....

Simple interface to use with a mixer.
Audio and midi with Cubase SE3
Packard bell - mghz 1.6 - 512 ram
guitar synth voice ...
Software Live 5 pounds. But the version is so not what brid Submitted intrt any, except for one who wants to buy the software. The update as advantageous compared to the price of the software alone.

UTILIZATION

No problem ... For the habitus of digital audio.

GETTING STARTED

My PC not powerful n'tant latency is audible when using effects or vst. No latency for Operating Your "normal". But a happy trs. This interface should exclusively for use with mixer (from o dception below). You can choose either to buy a high end card is equivalent to a price: the FC202 + table spirit folio (compact4) ddi + a good home studio microphone (Apex 435) with stand + many cables and stand Guitar + headphone indispensable (beyerdynamic) + a midi interface with 2 inputs (phonic) + cubase se3. All for 850. Orders have t pass in Playback time limit that I highly recommend the quality and service simply outstanding.

OVERALL OPINION

Three weeks of testing and satisfied. I have long hsit between the IT solution and ministudios Intgr kind Fostex MR8. The chosen solution is perfect for me. So the interface is perfect in the chain of use following the live - micro-mixer (rglage levels) - 202 fca - more midi interface and Cubase SE3 (perfect).

-The possibility of taking two paths spares. ; The firewire connection
- Registration of a small project or acoustic live crude at concerts.
- IBook G4, 1gig Ram ... mac and I must say this card is gnial ...
- With Soundcraft Racpac 14 channels for acoustic projects with a mackie VLZ SR 32 channels for live performances.
The above, I use a compress, and a qual ... pramp

UTILIZATION

-Plug and Play
-No
-We can no longer simple, I did nothing (LIVE CAM)
-I have not even opened ....

GETTING STARTED

-YES
-I do not know the card is rcente
- Cubase SX, Digital Performer, Live ...
- Max 2 tracks simultaneously ...

OVERALL OPINION

- 3 months
- What I like most its ease of use and price ...
What I like least? nothing for the price ...
- The report price is unbeatable quality.
- With the exprience yes I do it again this choice because the price was really a pure sound, there are only 2 tracks but certainly spars acoustic project has more than enough ... on the other hand I'm really surprised by the criticism made ... I do not know if people tried to connect their microphone directly on the map or c lol yet again that PC shit ...
In any case no problem on Mac ...

Hello

Price

guitar and vocals

pc-xp-sp2-atlon2600 1024MB

guitar + PODCASTUDIO

UTILIZATION

It's been one month that I have this audio card (included in the PODCASTUDIO Berhinger)
First of all, I'm pretty happy with the appearance of solid material
sound quality decent (for the price) I use it for recording voice and guitar
small flat cable for the microphone a little short (about 1m10)

good in terms of the FCA202 is another story because you see I have a PC with Windows XP sp2.
Berhinger-red card for that match a side of the question
Woodbrass-to (where I bought) he told me they inquiring at Berhinger then he sent me an email saying that they were available to me what it takes to return the equipment (better than nothing tell me).
except that when I buy hardware that is not primarily a return due to a driver
because the problem is the drivers it's three weeks I fought with (not a full-time thankfully)
Finally I found the solution (if it can help here):

First-if you have installed the drivers uninstall the device manager (right click on desktop-properties-Hardware tab-Device Manager-right click on FCA202-uninstall) then unplug the firewire FCA202 of decision and restart PC

Inserra, 2nd cd open Windows Explorer click on player-click on windows xp-driver and then click on click on "fca202setup.exe" doing ok in 3 boxes that open

-3rd off the PC and plug the firewire-restart Windows detects hardware follow the instructions (hopefully it installs the driver).
but then that's not it work

4th-go to the website of Berhinger and download the latest version of the driver
then click on "fca202setup.exe" (without disconnecting the firewire) follow the instructions
Here it works and I can tell you that I try a combination.
not dreaming I am telling you directly install the latest driver it does not work

I hope I could help

GETTING STARTED

When properly installed they are stable

I do not know

freewares (eg audacity)

for the time 8 ms

I do serves as a track at a time

OVERALL OPINION

it's been one month but this time I use it since 3 days

the + simplicity (the - drivers évidemmnet)

no

correct

yes

to note that I put six to punish Berhinger technicians in (watch out gentlemen What kills is how a company).

APRS dlicate a long study of diffrent solutions proposed for Firewire audio cards, I DCID to invest in the famous (for many it ractions ad latches) FA202 FW.

Possdant dj console, the limited number did not seem like a obstbacle for practicing home studio alone, amen I never recorded more than two lanes simultanment. However, in terms of volume, you must know that the signal must be adjusted upstream, the card does not possdant potentiomtres or software to any rglage whatsoever. The number of outputs, they also limit two does that cost in Stereo.
The frquences of chantillonnnage and RESOLUTION are editable from the software.

The card is connected (with a cable that I have to buy the one that came both trs trs short) a PC dual processor Athlon 64 1 GB ram XP SP2 that feeds also.

The software is used computer music cubase SX 2.

The inputs and outputs are connected to the card a small console that allows me a zero latency monitoring and any connections faster / unplug.

The use of prampli for voices and instruments are used to connect through the console (by 6 mm mono jack) inputs prvues line level, the outputs as directed to a headphone amp and monitoring speakers (always through the console: remember that you can not directly change the levels of input and output).

Assuming that the card can hardly be used without console (a mixer small enough), the technical specifications (24-bit, 96 kHz) can not sacrifice too much quality for the benefit budget.

UTILIZATION

Possdant the clbre Hoontech rpute for installation incredibly complex, I must first have this part not without a strong apprhension. The connection of the card performed as indicated prcdemment FBRIL the one hand and trembling as I slid the cake with the book card in the reader.

And surprise! It nothing happens. Oh the reader has turned a few moments but nothing too glaring. Oh yes, the lights are on the card.
I wait a few seconds. But still nothing. I sit comfortably in my chair in prt dcoudre rcalcitrante with the card. I turn on the console and put the headphones in their ears. Mouse hand I run the control panel and the big surprise in the headphone, I hear clearly the trs mouse clicks!
I run Cubase without further delay, he asked me to wait because the configuration has changed and actually DTECT problem without the CFA. I still mouth be: transparent installation does not drive 30 seconds! It is all too transparent even got me, I'll be a little more prfr have my word, but when same: hat!

GETTING STARTED

Without waiting longer, I go into the Fast Fashion Cubase a small piece of BMD, just to see. I record the flies, I rewind, j'coute, erase (99% of my shots are not worth a better deal). Map No "is never in default, the latency more than adequate. Be careful though not to have a volume of too strong. It's really enjoyable to work trs also calmly.
Note also that the blue LEDs and red faade of the card can get hot and ambient lighting rsolument futuristic look the best for the long night sessions.

OVERALL OPINION

After a few weeks of use, still nothing wrong. SAVINGS made thanks to the purchase of this card trs good market allowed me to invest in better quality pramplis what does that more bnfique 'acahat card CHRE more with less good music hardware. Remember that the quality of a global string processing is always worse than the infrieure links (in this case me).

Used in Cubase, 3GB of RAM, dual-core 2.00GHz, 2 to DDE etc ...

The source is captured from my mixer to record heart, voice, percussion etc ...

Jacks connected in LR and Firewire

UTILIZATION

Drivers not as stable as that, as it only requires a freeze on p'tit cubase so that the sound "crack", so therefore I increase the buffer and then back down.

The drivers are not updated frequently.

Latency level, I am 7ms input, which is reasonable.

In track, I can put virtually infinite, but I have to slightly increase the buffer size used by VST ....

GETTING STARTED

Trouble-free installation, you install the drivers provided, you plug and let's go

Manual useless. No conflict

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, I had no trouble since.

What I like most is the simplicity, the less the buffer sensitive enough ...
It is not too much to ask for anything ..

Personal I of Dub, if you want to see the result is here: https://soundcloud.com/ftt-prod
We can make very good stuff with

I will not go that choice, I would take one with more inputs and outputs, and more efficient.

Price / quality ratio right

With which system do you use? Windows XP

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable? Triple Zero Zero! It's crap, it does not work! It is super unstable until it works or more dutout!


GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems? What problems and nothing but problems! I spent about 4 hours has tried to make fonctionée correctly!

OVERALL OPINION

# What is your opinion about the value for the price? Zero!
# Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ... Never!

I returned to the store the next day, I can still access the control board configuration, it is impossible to uninstall! I'll have to format it to remove the remains ...!

I changed it for a Focursite Saffire LE ... it day and night ...!
it's more expensive, but it works.

(Originally written by dookieW/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Very simple interface: two analog inputs, two balanced line outputs and two Firewire ports

I connected it to a mixer output and my PC.

For me it's only a converter that works fine.

UTILIZATION

The drivers work perfectly (with Windows XP SP2)

The settings are clear: select the sample rate and the latency time depending on the computer's CPU power.

You won't need the user's manual except for some interesting tips: for example use the external PSU if the computer's PSU is not powerful enough to provide the necessary power via the Firewire port.

GETTING STARTED

Stable driver, no problems.

Compatible with FL Studio, Live, Reason, Cubase... and with all other sequencers I guess!

I get 4 to 6 ms latency time but this value depends on the project, the CPU power and the selected sample rate.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for almost two years and it works fine.

If you need an all-in-one solution for your studio, this is not the device for you (it has no preamps, and it has only two inputs and two outputs).

But if you already have a complete setup and only need a converter, this device works very good: ultra low latency and no drop-outs. I'm very satisfied with it! And its price is very low.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
