To provide a professional recording interface between mixing
console and computer, you can use the UCA202 in combination
with a suitable mixing console that includes subgroup outputs.
This type of setup allows you to record several signals in the
computer at the sa me time, to simultaneously play back several
takes or playbacks which ha ve been recorded, and to listen to the
whole recording via loudspeakers (or headphones). F igure 4.1
shows a possi ble setup with one UCA202.
Connect the outputs of th e subgroup (i n this case ALT 3-4 OUT)
with the inputs of the U CA202
m
You can choose to co nnect the
outputs CD of the interface either to th e TAPE INPUT sockets or
to your monitor speakers. You can connect control headphones to
the O socket CD of the U CA202 or to th e headphones output of
your mixing console. U se the U SB cable supplied with the unit to
connect yo ur PC or MAC via the USB interface.
By routing each channel that you want to record through th e ALB-4
subgroup, you can now use the input channels of the mixing console
to record different signals (e.g. microphone, guitar, sound module,
etc.) in the computer. If you connect the OUT jacks of the UCA202 to
channel inputs 7/8 (not via TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is
not switched to th e subgroup but instead to th e main output of your
mixer (MUTE key on the UB1204FX-PRO in channel 7 /8 not pressed).
Otherwise feedback can occur. Make sure that you use the SOURCE
section on the mixing console to select the correct monitoring paths
(ALT 3-4 and MAIN MIX or ALT 3-4 and T APE).
If you lead the U CA202 back via a channel input (not TAPE INPUT),
you can also use the aux path in the channel to set up a monitor
mix for live musicians. To do this , use the Aux Send (e.g. Aux 1 )
in this channel input. If the musicians want to hear themselves as
well as the playback or previous recording takes, use the Aux Sends
in the recording channels to mix in the recording signals with the
monitor mix.
