Alright i have that and my mic light is on. and everythings conncted but when i go to record, it only picks up whats on my computer? How do i make it so i can record threw the mic and not what the computer is playing.?
The UC202 is a simple convertor, 16b 44k stereo, with basically
ins/outs. Be sure that, within the recording app, that the UC202 is selected as the recording/playback device. The recording app should then see the UC202 input as the signal, to be fed to the track, for recording. No "drivers" are required.
* I use three UC202 converters on my laptop, with c.e.p.
I made a template of the c.e.p. start-up mulitrack g.u.i.
to get started, every session.
It is preloaded with the device selections and track setups, for me to just hit the red record button, and then ignore it, until the session is done. Of course, everything must be "saved" in order to preserve data, after the laptop is shut off.
I copy the saved data to a 8gig SD, then pop into my main PC, cut/paste the data into a hard drive location, and fire it right up, as a multitrack session.
The UC202's just plug in to the three USB connectors of my laptop,
and I've found no timing slurs, jitters, drift, or errors.
This gives me a 6 track recorder, in
my briefcase.
I've had NO failures with the UC202's.
It's a less expensive way to get tracking, compared to multichannel units (ie: TASCAM 1641).
Back to the main issue.
When connecting a digital audio interface to a computer,
YOU Must Always Make Sure that the interface is selected as the source, within the recording application.
When several of the same converters are used, Be Sure that you Test each with a test signal, in order to identify each device, and choose its position in the software's device order (which input goes to which channel).
Even though the UC202 is just a primitave 16 bit converter,
it is adequate for most recording applications, provided the user
sets up the recording program correctly.
Last, but not least...........if you think a device is defective, have a friend try it out, on his computer recording setup. This is a good test procedure, for checking Any "plug `n' play" USB device.
Don't first suspect a hardware problem, just because the recording software hasn't been set up correctly.
Hope this has eased many a troubled mind.
Peace!
or is it spelled reel to reel... im such an idiot
