Setting up To Record With A microphone

[thebreiner1995]

amigo esa interface se puede conectar con el microfono condesador berhriger ?

[gumdrops27]

Do I need the mixer? My mic isn't even xlr it's a regular dynamic with a 3.5 mm plug. But when I plug it in, the input level is REALLY low the computer barely picks anything up at all. Any tips?

[Boomdoggles]

@gumdrops27 if the preamp in you computer isint loud enough try getting an external preamp of some description.

[videotitan1]

Do you get latency with that small usb? 

[Boomdoggles]

@videotitan1 the hardware latency is about 5MS

How much is the Behringer Ucontrol UCA202 Usb Audio Interface

[Boomdoggles]

[CartoonKid12]

How much is that mixer? And do I need the blue wire?? :o

[Boomdoggles]

@CartoonKid12 The Mixer is not manafactured anymore, and the blue cable is just RCA or phono cable

[TheMrJoshuaC]

[Boomdoggles]

@TheMrJoshuaC depends on that interface you have

How did you learn all this?

[Boomdoggles]

@fatcat1414ify ive been working with audio for a long time and ive picked up alot, also just playing around wth gear.

[brycemalone13]

can you use any rca cords with two ends or do u need specific ones?

[Boomdoggles]

@brycemalone13 you can use any, i just use the blue ones cause i think they sound nicer

hi I have one question only im looking at a similar setup but have i have a mac pro lop tap. With the Ucontrol UCA202 interface when you have plugged it into the computer and into the interface RCA. For some reason i can't record my voice using a microphone. oh by the way i am using audition 3.o i wil appreciate if you help me with the set up, thanks

@locqo so you have the interpace connected to a mixer and there is sound coming through the mixer. also is audition set to record from USB Audio device

[shnoop51]

hey few questions only im looking at a similar setup but have some doubts. With the Ucontrol UCA202 interface when you have plugged it into the mixer tape outputs and into the interface RCA in can you record multiple tracks into the computer or does the interface sum all the audio from the desk into a single track?

[Boomdoggles]

@shnoop51 its a 2 track interface. really yes it will only do a single track so it takes the MAIN MIX of your mixer and records that. if yoy want multitrack there are interfaces made by presonus or Digidesign that will do that. alternitvly wait a few months because i think behringer is about to release a proper digital mixer which should do multitrack output

[RodriiGoV]

it is noisy?

[Boomdoggles]

@RodriiGoV not usually, recording with this interface and mixer ect is pretty quiet

[haruthacin]

@Boomdoggles This good or my PC-s sound card (For noiseless)???

[Boomdoggles]

@haruthacin if you talking about your stock internal card then this will beat it easy.

[haruthacin]

It is noisy with my internal onboard PC sound card or with this?Whats better quality??

[Boomdoggles]

@haruthacin this is better because its designed to record with, in my tests if found this one comes out with no hiss

[Boomdoggles]

@RodriiGoV no

[XschlickX]

big ass mixer...

[Boomdoggles]

@XschlickX cost me the sape as if i were to get a tiny one

[803Jnice]

I have mines hooked up Right but for some Reason Everything on my computer is low, even my microphone is pickin up low ? why ?

[Boomdoggles]

@803Jnice make sure the inpit volume is enough and that the computer isint making it quiet

[jttj123]

hey man, i am using a behringer micromix mx400 which has a normal mic plugged into it and i plug it straight into the recording input on my laptop but this gives me a crackling sound on sam broad caster, will this Ucontrol get rid of this crackling ?

[Boomdoggles]

@jttj123 i an unsure what is hapening there, try maybe without the micromix and also try with a proper mixer with xlr inputs

[jttj123]

@Boomdoggles thanks, well i spent agers trying to find out last night and im pretty sure its the fact that vista and the software im using arnt liking each other, pretty sure the software is out dated or something like that haha, but would you recommend buying a ucontrol for recording purposes ?

[Boomdoggles]

@jttj123 yeah cause its better than your pc card

[heroic52]

cant you just use the un control and mic to record?

[Boomdoggles]

@heroic52 nah because the ucontrol does not have preamps and needs a LINE LEVEL Signal. the mixer is the preamp
