More than one Uc controls in a computer (PC)
Hi,
I have a Behringer Xenyx 1222 fx and the problem is to separate, correctly, one or two tacks for voices or others in recording session...
So , I send a mail to Behringer to ask if it was possible to connect more than one UC in a computer and the answer was: "It's not possible" !
So, a little voice said me : Try, try, try... and I decide to try.
With
my 1222 fx there was a
UC200, but impossible to find a new UCA200 but an UCA222 and
an UCA202 ! I live in Reunion Island (a little french tropical island near Madagascar)
I decide to try to connect, in the fisrt time, 2 UC's.
1 x
UCA 200 + 1 x UCA 222
And it's working FINE !
You have to connect one, put the good drivers from Behringer website (I'm on Vista Ultimate X64 bits, I7 920, 12 Go ram).
Connect the second UCA, put the good drivers... so to put the drivers... you run the Behringer .exe drivers... for each new UC installation and you read the message from the drivers installation (disconnect...connect the both UC (not at the same timen because it's very hard )) and restart your computer.
You have to go to System and verify that the 2 UCA's are discovered.
So, it's OK.
If no, disconnect an UCA and connect it...
I"m on Nuendo 4 but Nuendo or Cubase canno't run the both cards at the same time so for ASIO drivers I use ASIO4ALL !
I go to nuendo configuration... activate ASIO4ALL, configure to set the Behringer UC's and go to VST connections and set the In and Out.
And you will see that Nuendo or Cubase let you choise from different IN and OUT.
Better is to rename all the IN and OUT, it's easier to work quickly !
In my computer : with ASIO4ALL and 1 UCA, there is 3.25 ms latency for 256 samples.
With 2 UC's : 6.50 ms...so I think it's 256 sample by UCA... 256 + 256 = 512 with 6.5 ms...and I've just bought a third UCA 202, to try...and it's ok !
in latency : 6.50 ms the latency than for 2 UCA for 256 samples for each UC.
So, it was so magic I decide to charge some tracks with heavy VST samples, with 3 audio (vocals) tracks... some midi traks... and it's very clear.
Very impressive.
If you have an audio card chipset on your mother board... set off it in your bios.
I've set off also my PCI sound card... ASIO4ALL give you less latency
Before buying the others UCA's, I've tried to connect
my Xenyx 1222 fx to my XFI sound card... it's very noisy ! like a jet landing...low but very present in the background.
And now, it's clear, clear and quiet !
Now, I can route the audio signal where I want, and I can record in real multitracks.
If you have any questions, I'll try to help you !
I'm french, so if there's any errors in english... excuse me
