I record a bunch of podcasts and for some reason the audio I play through sounds very low attached is a photo of what I have. Input and output both set to USB option

Can you turn that picture a quarter turn so that I can examine it better?
 
I meant a quarter turn the other way. This is getting me disoriented! Are you using an interface? Does the mixer have an interface in it?
 
IHNI what this guy is using. I have a LynxAudio 2A and Davisound preamps and they are the shit!
 
WHAT! Is wrong with you guys?? You only have to zap the pikky into Msoft Picture Manager and flip it!

Brian, sit up straight, "audio recording with Behringer mixer and UCA222 interface 101" coming up!

First, for logic's sake (FFS!) use inputs one and two! (unless they's bust?).
Turn all other channel controls to minimum.

Initially set !&2 channel pots to "0" i.e. 12'0'clock.
Centre EQ pots.
set AUX pots to min'.
set ch 1 PAN to fully anti clock
set ch 2 PAN to fully clock. (cos then you gets two, discrete recorded channels and not some 1/2 arsed mono mix)
Set main slide fader to "0" vu.

Yodel into mic and adjust ONLY the gain controls until you get the bottom -20vu LED blinking. Now check in your recording software that the meters in that are moving. For -20 on the mixer you should be getting (and this is a guess) about -10dBFS (as it is called) on the software meters. You should regard -10 to -8 as the highest level you want to put into the UCA.
Record a minute or so.

Playback that recording and it SHOULD come back at exactly the same level on the meters. If not you need to get into the Sounds and Audio Devices menu in your PC and set some levels.

Can't see atmo or recall. Are you in UK?

Dave.
