All user reviews of 4/5 for the Behringer U-Control UCA202

2 analog input, headphone, USB, 48 kHz converters.
I use it on multiple computers: windows, linux os or just listening to a small mastering or recording in RCA.

UTILIZATION

Drivers useful or not.
I use Cubase, Ardour or a single drive, according to different OS.
It can record two mono tracks or stereo.
Latende still very low at about 10ms with Jack on linux or mac or windows asio.

GETTING STARTED

Installation without problems since there are not needed.
Configuration very easy mac and windows
Manual (pdf) clear, at the same time there is not enough to take 3 hours on technical specifications of the card.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years.
Easy to use, is perfectly sound job, (it's not a beast to compete, but it sas its place in a home studio).
It allows me to register or get out easily without search CAR THE ultimate quality but is still more than correct.
Price / quality ratio Nickel.

I bought this product because it was cheap and I needed a sound card of this type to record using a mixer (in this case a Phonic 4 tracks)

I could small demos recorded with drums, bass guitar and singing a very acceptable quality (you just need to know what mix behind).

UTILIZATION

I downloaded the drivers on the Behringer site, no problems, I used it on Cubase SX3. Nickel.
No updates, I think that that is useful?

There was a latency monitoring with the version of cubase but when using the return of the UCA, it is zero.

So we have two tracks (left and right)

I used ave cma console AVEE a pan left and right guitar voice that made me two independent tracks.
For the battery (acoustic) Left and right head over GC CC center (or slightly pan), with a pre EQ on GC and clear cash to boost low or medium and it did.

GETTING STARTED

No problems in installing everything all that.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a while (about 4 years I think ...)

I had not bought a sound card before, since I took a photo R16. This is not the same but it is more expensive and at that time I had no money.

What I love most, is clearly the price! Value for money nickel (obviously depending on what you want to do) and this size. Hop in your pocket hehe!

With experience, surely, I always used to record electronic drums: RCA cable and off you nickel and practice.

See data sheet.
We appreciate the small size, Toslink, side plug'n'play

UTILIZATION

Yes very stable even gets a latency that does not really work with a software sequencer (greater than 100ms when a "real" digital audio interface is below 10ms) and sizeable projects.

GETTING STARTED

Nothing is easier, it is plug'n'play

OVERALL OPINION

I use it daily on my desktop PC. It allows me to enjoy the RCA plugged into my mixing desk listening to music for example and plug in my headphones. More for a while now but I used the toslink to connect my amp salon. It keeps a very good sound quality for multimedia activities.

Nothing spectacular but it is so convenient.
I use ASIO4ALL.
For use "standard" or to catch rehearsals as I read earlier that's enough.
To the computer music, it is not sufficient on the other hand.

PS: but notes may seem harsh but how many stars does it take a while to interface with TC Electronic?

I needed to have true line inputs on my laptop, an old PIII 256MB ram + 1GB Card PCMCIA USB 2.0 and FW (original ones are USB 1.0). I wanted to have something to do with saving my groups a minimum multitrack. I took two for four entries. I did not plan to use it without mixing desk or at least one multi-effect (for guitar) or a preamp.

The interesting feature: the price, of course. It's Behringer, it's worth what it's worth, but the quality of their products (and their SAV) has greatly improved in recent years. Compact interface, USB, no drivers, very easy to use, headphone jack with volume, optical out (never tried), switch monitoring.

The obvious flaws: the price, it's not "pro", plastic (so horrible noise to be expected), all entries in the CAR (not the place to something else) and line level, so table mix / preamp required, no adjustment of input gain, no adjustment of the level monitoring, déchantillonage rates low. Also in my particular case, given the high latency of the PC age and passage through a PCMCIA card.

UTILIZATION

In fact, use level, with XP no problem, it is recognized automatically replacing the internal card (integrated sound card, not bad, but not "real" line inputs). It is not always automatically taken into account by the software (Krystal, Samplitude), but it's more because I have misconfigured anything else. Just change the settings. on the other hand, with two identical interfaces, it quickly clutter to find which input goes with which plug into the software. After all, I had it coming ...

The sound is correct, the two interfaces are synchronized, in short I never had any problems working with this particular card.

There is a manual that I have not read (no need), but has the huge advantage of being real paper (not PDF or download on the site). It changes.

GETTING STARTED

There are no drivers other than those of XP. It's always very well with me, and I had more problems with drivers for my PCMCIA card with USB2 interface itself.

I use it with the player software (obviously): media player, foobar, etc.. RAS
Otherwise Krystal Samplitude or to register. I record four tracks with no problems, ditto for reading.
I used a little with pure data and MaxMSP. In fact, because of the PCMCIA card, I have a latency equal to or greater than the internal sound card: about 15ms, it means ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had nine months.

The most: those who are early
Price +
+ Size, weight
+ USB, ultra-compatible (PC at least I've never tried it on Mac)
+ Good dynamic output

Cons: Same
- Good sound quality without
- Cheap plastic case (in addition, the label comes off ...)
- Minimum connections
- Background noise now, though I expected worse
- No adjustment of input gain (table mix / preamp required)
- No volume control monitoring
- Volume casuqe far too low which means more passes monitor what is played by the software is hell

This is my first true external sound card. This is the beginning, that I'm sure. I have tried other models, but briefly:
UX2: I tried to install it on my laptop, it does not work (?), But I could test on a PIV or near 2GB. MOTU ExtraLight: it's another world. Oddly, it works on my laptop while it did not work on the PC's owner had loaned it to me (???). In both cases, the sound quality was out of proportion, the more connections provided, and so on. Néamoins the price is not the same (especially for MOTU).

For my usage (multi-basic), it suited me. There is no interface with 4 inputs (2 or 8 is usually direct) and cost the equivalent of € 74 (2x37). In addition to being extremely simple, it often allowed me to troubleshoot people who had a great PC but no real interface (registration of a conference, a concert in transplanting the hard, etc.).. I think it's good to start in the sound, or for troubleshooting.

She filled his office very well any more.
