Thank you for the tutorial, I've just purchased my own UCA222 for my DJ controller to input audio via RCA from this to my Laptop for online streaming with OBS. Very simple to understand.
I have been racking my brainioid gland trying to get sound to work right on this new Windows 10 computer. When you said it was strange that Behringer bundled the UCA222 with a USB mixer that it dawned on me that I already had a Behringer QX1202USB mixer but never used the USB before. This has solved all of my sound issues! No need to get extra equipment or cables or adapters! Thank You!
thnk you for saying that it cannot power microphones, I have been searching for every audio interface video if they support xlr and you are the only one that mentioned it.
Thanks for the comment. Since most expect the visual that there are no XLR sockets, they don't mention.
@@RecordingStudio9 mine has xlr but it has the one with the headphones at the end, can that be put in the L/R??
Obviously you have a unit that is different from the one in my video. Maybe you can inform me the make and model or an image.
@@RecordingStudio9 hello, thanks for the response, no I don't have any. I am planning on buying an audio interface usb just so I can hook the newly bought microphone someone gave me to the computer.
In that case, this device will not work for your microphone. Try Behringer UMC202HD, will work with up to 2 microphones, a musical keyboard, guitars and more, and plugs into PC via USB. Simple, easy to use.
Excellent tutorial for a beginner such as myself. My research has brought forth some concerns or problems with drivers for the uca 222. Hopefully the asio4all will be the answer. I have purchased this unit.It should arrive tommorrow.
2:55 Behringer seems to have made more models of this type of interface, starting with the original UCA 200, there's the UCA 202 which added an optical output and mini headphone jack with volume control, (with it's variation of the UFO 202 which has a phono amp and ground built-in and but removes the optical output) and the red UCA 222 which the only difference from the UCA 202 is the colour. All these can be used in the way described in the video.
Thank you sir ! This is the true spirit a youtuber
Thank you - this helped me set everything up.
Great overview! The visuals are very clear and helpful.
Thanks for the update I’m following you from Africa Liberia
Thanks for that. Really informative and good advice
Great video. Thank you for clearly explaining. Do you have a video showing how to use the UCA 222 with a Behringer Mixer like the X1222 to make a mix minus with a cellphone call?
Thanks. Sorry, I have no videos related to the topic.
So clear and precise also easy to follow just asking if I can use this with my DJ Controller it’s the Pioneer ddj400 👍😃
I have a question.... This interface can be set as the PC sound card? I need improve the sound of addictive drums and have no clicking on the sound.... I Guess it can be because the uca 222 have asio drivers ..
This is very helpful! thank you!
Very well made tutorial video 👏👏
Thanks a lot 😊
Thanks for a great video helped me lots
Hello I need your help am struggling to connect this to Cubse
Very informative video.
Thanks
I want to record electric drums on an android phone. Does it work?
Can I connect it to my PA Head?
Hi ...I just got a high Rez DAC to use for Amazon music and a Echo Link streamer. I want to use my computer with amazon app for UHD to play my personal playlist ,..will I still get high bitrate if I use my USB of computer and then use optical out put of this UCA 222 going into my Hi Rez DAC and then to my powered speakers ? Thank you for yer help
Could i connect the tape out of my mixer to input of the device and the output of the device in the tape in of my mixer simulteanously?
Correct
for two days I have been looking for a low price mixer, interface, mic etc. I (am trying hard to) live in Turkey and due to the change rates if I want to buy something for X dollar(s) I have to pay 4X turkish box. In this period of time I've been able to find whatever I look for. Your channel is incredibly useful.
I wonder if I could ask about two options at hand.
one is a set with behringer 502usb mixer, c-1 condenser mic, for 800 Turkish box. I think I have to buy a separate phantom power supply as well as the set. Let's say 1000 Turkish money. In this set only condenser mic confuses me. I would like to have one but this option both forces my budget and I do not want to hear any noise in my records. I think phantom power supply is a must for this set not to hear noise.
the other is behringer podcastudio for about 550 Turkish box. there is a 502 mixer, xm8500 dynamic mic, uca202 usb interface, cheap but fine headphones. It might sound like an ignorant question but would there be noise in this set? Is uca222 usb interface the phantom power supply of this set? If I buy a C-1 condenser separately could I use this mixer with no noise or will I have to buy phantom power supply?
Should I make myself used to the idea of buying phantom power supply?
I am planning to record music, I also have shure dynamic vocal mic, I will connect electric and bass guitars by means of a 6.3 mm jack and I will record acoustic guitar and piano through a mic. What would you recommend me? Thanks in advance.
You best option, since you already have a mic, get the Q502USB and a DI box. Don't worry about condenser mic for now. The dynamic mic (Shure SM58?) is what I used for years to record vocals and guitars, since my recording space was too noisy with cars and people, but SM58 did very well. You get condenser and you will have room and outside noise come in.
No need to but Phantom Power for C-1 and with Q502USB, no need for UCA222. Make sure you get Q502USB not just 502USB, as the Q502USB has the compressor option that will help the recording.
Don't worry about your recording not sounding like Radio Ready, that comes in time and by gaining experience. Just record and have fun.
Best of luck.
Is there a way to hook up the uca 222 to another interface (not a mixer) so I can have more channels?
Yes and no. You better off getting an interface with more inputs.
Dear Sir thank you for this video topic, I have mixer non usb Behringer PMP500mp3, could I use uca interface and how to connect both? the problem my mixer doesn't have rca output. thank for your help.GBU
Is the optical audio output better in sound?
I would not think so, as this depends on the quality of the converter chips. But these are very cheap devices.
how can i use this on macbook air
thanks a lot for all the info. so if you got the xenyx usb version, you don't need this one? or you do if you just want to use it as a dac?
If you are using the USB version mixer, this is not required.
How to connect microphone
When I open it I can be able to pick it in auducit but not in Cubase any help
You may need to install ASIO4All driver.
can we not use the TWO rca inputs in/out of the mixer, and NOT the speakers? 4:54
Does this works with your Android Stylo 4 smartphone, as well, maybe with an OTG ADAPTER?? I bought both a Mixfader Cross-fader, wich runs wirelessly with Bluetooth 4.0, & with the Mixfader Scratch app from the Google Playstore, with also the Mixfader Prolink SoundCard, wich is basically your Portable Mixer, for Portable DJ's, & is also Bluetooth 4.0 compatible. Their supposed to connect between the 3 devices simultaneously, so that the Mixfader cross-fader, & Mixfader Prolink SoundCard, & the Mixfader App, are all connected. And then your phone or tablet should ask you instantly, wether you want to use DVS (Digital Vinyl), or Regular Vinyl mode. And then you choose, & Skratch away,or mix away, either or. Im trying to get this set up with my Reloop Spin Portable Turntable, & my JBL CHARGE 4 Speaker, as well, & I made sure that my phone is compatible with both Bluetooth 4.0, & also USB HOST, as well. So I bought an OTG adapter, for my Type-C smartphone connection, & mite not even need that adapter, but where im not completely sure exactly the rite, or correct way of setting this all up correctly, im in need of some professional help from the veterans of the game, thanx my friend, great video, very insightful...... 👍💪🙏🔥💯🎄😎🤔
Can i play guitar just this device? i planned ; the guitar connect to behringer uca202 and behringer connect to my pc.
Do you need studio monitors? i just have a home hifi system with an amplifier
I use it to play guitar on my computer, with this configuration: guitar, Behringer V-Amp 3, Behringer UCA222, computer (with decent quality computer speakers). Is it better to use the RCA output on the UCA222 and connect it to the computer line in, or rather the audio signal through the USB?
USB audio direct will have better result than the soundcard in the laptop.
Would I still be able to connect my laptop to an analog mixer with a quarter inch to 3.5mm cable and then play audio through a connection for an output to my speakers? Is this audio interface required, or is it mostly just helpful with sound clarity?
I have a question, can i use this Audio Interface for 4 output? in Traktor i have a Beringer DDM 4000 mixer
hi there, nice review. i am getting some noise when i connect the uca 222 usb port to my computer, how do i fix this?
They are not the best units and RFI from even USB data can be heard. If this is an issue, invest in a better unit.
what do u do if you dont have a mixer?
Can you change the sample rate on this device? I see it supports 32KHz, 44.1KHz and 48KHz but the manual does not give any instruction on how to change it, and there is no control software, right?
As they are USB compliant devices, you don’t really need any drivers. The recording software can determine the sample rate, or in Windows Recording setting.
I am not able to differentiate the channels in the mixer to just mix music using Traktor. Can anyone help me?
Can I use the devcice the other was round as a digital-analogue converter? I want to connect ma laptop, which doesn´t have a line level output to my tapedeck to record mixtapes of TH-cam/Spotify. Can the device be used for that?
Yes.
Will it work if I connect to my phone instead of the computer to record a video?
Thanks for very useful video. I'm intending to record DJ mixes through an old analogue Behringer (VMX200) mixer, which audio recording software would you recommend?
You can use Audacity, Studio One V4 Prime edition, Cakewalk or Tracktion T6, all free DAW. Try them all and see which one suits your workflow best.
OK mate, thanks for the advice.
thanks for the video!
for some reason I cant get a audio signal on the right cable only the left any thoughts
How and where are you connecting your Microphone?
can you plug this into the pc, set the audio out to this usb device and run audio into the device from a mixer via the inputs and hear it out of your pc speakers whilst recording?
In simple terms, no. This is a soundcard itself, connects between a mixer (with speakers connected) and play or record audio to and from your PC.
How can I connect microphone via ampyfier I can connect right
So if I build a dedicated microphone preamp and then connect to the line -in, it can work well.. ?
( I would like to use for speaker spl measurement)
I guess. I see no issues.
@@RecordingStudio9
Thanks for your quick answer!
can I send music from my computer to the behringer and connect the behringer to active speaker or mixer ?
+Eric Balcon
Yes, that is the main use of this tiny audio interface
you have taken 3 minutes already and you are still holding the UCA222 in your hand
this can be use only for recording?? I wanna use just for play kontak piano library, can be used as an output too right??
+jarcdday
Had you watched the video, I do mention everything it supports. So yes.
Hi, I have an old Magnavox fp1413sl01 turntable that plugs into my Magnavox 1441 amp with rca cables. I don't think the turntable has a preamp. The system is from the 1980s and the only place I have been able to locate and info on them is turntableneedles.com (they have been great). I am wanting to transfer my 100+ LPs to my computer. I used to have a usb turntable but I got rid of it and I also have used Xitel. I purchased a Behringer UCA 222 interface to use. Do you know if I still need a phono preamp with the 222 or not or do you have any other suggestions . My laptop does not have a audio in jack so I have to use usb. Thanks, Mike
Does anybody know how to adjust the volume on the RCA outputs? Can't do it on the device, can't do it in windows, can't do it in ableton without just lowering the gain of the master.
Is it mono or stereo ?
If I transfer a vinyl Lp throuhg Audicity the recording will be mono or stereo ?
Stereo.
@@RecordingStudio9 Thanks my friend !
Can I use this UCA 222 outputs to connect to DSLR? Should I use RCA or the headphone jack?
DSLRs normally have mic level input, unless otherwise, so both RCA and Headphone outputs would be too loud and damage your DSLR mic input.
@@RecordingStudio9 ok, thanks for the reply!
Hey man, will it work from behringer ada8200 ultragain to uca222 to pc? Tnx man
No, as the UCA222 is a simple stereo USB device.
Is there a way to connect behringer ada8200 to pc?
I mean is there another way to connect behringer ada8200 to pc by not adding another interface. Like toslink converter to usb?
@@jazzilao2380 Not that I'm aware of. ADA8200 is an ADAT protocol device, and ADAT supporting Audio Interface is the only ADAT TosLink to USB converter I'm aware of.
Can I record in pro tools with a channel-by-channel mixer? Example if I have a mixer with 18 inputs, I would record channel by channel, or I would record everything in one input
When the unit is connected to the TAPE In/Out of your mixer, any audio on the main/master bus, is sent to the PC. You can record all 18 channels as a stereo mix, or if you play each instrument one at a time, then you can use multiple tracks in Pro-tools to record.
So to record for the 18 channels in multitrack I can not? I can only one by one? I have the Behringer SX3242FX console, will I be able to connect it and record the 18 channels in multitrack at the same time?
It's not possible to record each channel separately. Just think of the logic of the audio routing. How will each channel audio go out? Not possible.
Is the optical output from analog in, digital out or from both?
The Optical out is from USB digital out.
I messed up and ordered the wrong xenyx from amazon thats not USB so now Im tryna decide if I wanna buy this for 30 or just get the dam um2 audio interface for 30
Sorry to hear, it all depends on what you are trying to record, weather the Behringer UM2 will do the job.
hi, can you help me thru skype on how to setup with a yamaha mixer and onto sony sournd forge, thank you
Sorry, no.
i have pmx pyle mixer with rca
And can i connect my guitar direct to the sound card?
No
@@RecordingStudio9 i need to buy a V-amp?
Why i cant hit the bell? I need notification for every post
No clue.
Sir, how can i talk with you, because i have a questions this questions very important to me i need to know this questions answers, can you write your mail address for me ? This questions includes how to make a podcast with 3 or 4 person with using 4 channel microphone mixer and about this UCA222 usb sound card
This just seems like an ad for pushing other Behringer products.
He reviewd a lot of Behringer gear because he uses a lot of it. It's less costly than the competition and generally does the job very well when you know what you're doing.
If he was really pushing it he should have mentioned the optical audio output. Which is quite brilliant for a piece of gear at that price level (In Europe they're EUR 18) from major online stores (a lot cheaper than the US).
I output from from one laptop to another using it. Flawless sound quality.
Hello Vatche, Many thanks; good explenantions! Question: Does this U-Control UCA222 support WIndows 10. How does it work with Widnows 10 in terms of latancy? Thanks, Elvis
These devices use Windows standard USB Audio drivers and should work with Windows 10. But use ASIO4ALL driver for better latency.
@@RecordingStudio9 If you do a search for Behringer UCA 222 Driver you'll get an alternative driver to Asio4All. Some people say the dedicated driver is more stable and easier to configure. I have used both and I strongly agree.
