Using a mixer to record in a
studio environment:
The most common application for the UCA222 is doing studio
recording with a mixer. This will allow you to record several
sources at once, listen to the playback, and record more tracks
in sync with the original take(s).

• Connect the mixer's TAPE OUT to the INPUT RCA jacks on
the UCA222. This will allow you to capture the overall mix.
• Plug the USB cable into a free USB port on your computer.
The POWER LED will light up.
• Connect a pair of powered monitor speakers to the
UCA222 OUTPUT RCA jacks. Depending on what type of
inputs your speakers accept, you may need an adapter.
• You may also monitor the input signal with a pair of
headphones instead of or in addition to the monitor
speakers. Turn the OFF/ON MONITOR switch to the 'ON'
position. Plug a pair of headphones into the PHONES jack
and adjust the volume with the adjacent control. This will
be preferable if the mixer and computer are in the same
room as the instruments being recorded.
• Take some time to adjust each channel level and EQ to
ensure a good balance between the instruments/sources.
Once the mix has been recorded you will be unable to
make adjustments to just one channel.
• Set the recording program to record input from the UCA222.
• Press record and let the music rip!
