Hi all,

I have an issue that I've tried researching online but I just can't find the answer because it's hard to describe and there's not much keywords I can search on.

I bought a Behringer 1202FX mixer, and a UCA202 interface to link the signals to my computer that uses Cubase AI4. The thing is, when I click 'monitor' on my Cubase's mixer, there's this distorted noise that grows louder as it cascades louder and louder.

I thought this was an issue with my microphone picking up sounds from my speakers, but this happens even when my mike is switched off. I must be missing something, like some sort of settings to allow Cubase to work with the external mixer or, could this be an issue with faulty equipment?

I'm just a student studying to be a classical singer, it's really confusing but I hope you guys will help me out. Best regards!

Jeremy
 
Probably you are feeding the monitor mix back into the record inputs of the interface.
 
It is most likely caused by a poor connection or the interface you are using. Hope someone else here has better info for you.
 
thanks for the reply guys! mmm always a chance that I might have connected the cables wrongly. Mains Out goes into the UCA202's Input right? If I use the CD/Tape Out, and connect to the UCA202's Input, it'll work too?

Sorry if I'm confusing
 
Go from the UCA202 output to the CD/Tape IN of the mixer. Switch CD/Tape to CTRL on and CD/Tape to MIX off.
 
oh gosh i did it the wrong way! Thanks for enlightening! However, the cascading distortion when I press the monitor still happens.
