I'm not sure how you figured you get only one monitor from two outputs.
If you're going to use it for overdubbing you would connect the outputs to the mixer. The mixer would need to have the appropriate features to make this possible. If you're just capturing audio without overdubbing then you can connect the left output to one monitor and the right output to the other monitor.
I'm stupid when it comes to this Monitors (active) have left and right inputs. So I plug the left from uca222 to the left of one monitor, and the same for right?
Why do you need the UAC222 when your mixer seems to have a USB interface???
Posted by ecc83.... 'Instead, as mentioned feed the outputs back into the mixer (almost all mixers have RCA "tape/CD" inputs)'
Which your mixer does have if you chose to use the Behringer interface
You could also use the '2 Track In' jacks as well

Because that interface allows 4 chanells only...
I'm not familiar with this, that's why I'm asking! If I plug the outputs from uca222, to the cd inputs (also rca), what will happen? How will I hear the sound like I would if I would plug them directly into monitors? I'm bad with this, please don't be pissed
Oh, also, where do I connect the uca222's inputs? 2track or rec send?
That's 4 channels of audio to/from the mixer at a time, not a total limit of 4 tracks in the software. In the software you can have as many as you want. The DAW will let you mix them to stereo, which you play back through the mixer while adding more. You've got one up on many people here whose interfaces can only send 2 at a time to the software.
Connect the monitor outputs from the mixer to the monitors. This is slightly confusing because those are somewhat different uses of the word monitor, but it's the way to go. Actually, the monitor output should be able to feed studio monitors and headphones, with the option to mute the speakers when you're overdubbing.
Use the rec send. But really it looks like you don't need the UCA at all.
Thanks! But if I want to record drums, I use 9 mics so I need more chanells! Anyways, thank you very much!
Alas, then you've bought the wrong piece of gear--or two wrong pieces of gear. Entry level interfaces like the UCA222 and even some fairly high level USB mixers still only feed 2 channels (i.e. stereo) to and from the computer. Especially with mixers you always have to watch because the manufacturers are keen to say "16 channel mixer" when they mean 16 inputs, not 16 outputs.
There are some boxes that would do what you want. If you could live with 8 channels (or buy a basic preamp and use one of the line level inputs,
this TASCAM would be about the most economical way I know of to do it. I'm afraid that the jump from 8 to 9 inputs can be a difficult one to cross.
I'm using a dynacord powermate 1600-3... What do you think about it? Could I use the uca222?

You can't make a decent car out of two bicycles and a lawnmower.
What interface should I get then? I need no chanells! Also, where is the monitor output on dynacord powermate 1600-3? I'm looking at the manual but I can't find it...
They're labeled MON 1 and MON 2 and meant for stage monitors rather than studio monitors. The idea is to separate the record output from the control room/headphones output so you can hear the playback plus the live inputs but just record the live inputs. You could switch it around and use the MON outs for recording and the main outs for control room/headphones.
But like they said above, the gear you have isn't really meant to do what you want to do.
