U-CONTROL UCA200
To provide a professional recording interface between mixing console and computer, you can use
the UCA200 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 same time, to simultaneously
play back several takes or playbacks which have been recorded, and to listen to the whole recor-
ding via loudspeakers. Figure 4.1 shows a possible setup with one UCA200.
Connect the outputs of the subgroup (in this case ALT 3-4 OUT) with the inputs of the UCA200 .
You can choose to connect the outputs of the interface either to the TAPE INPUT sockets or to
your monitor speakers. Over the headphone output of your mixing console, you can connect for
example the stereo headphones HPS 3000 to controling. Use the USB cable supplied with the unit to
connect your PC or MAC ® via the USB interface.
By routing each channel that you want to record through the ALT3-4 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 UCA200 to channel inputs 7/8 (not
via TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not switched to the subgroup but instead to the 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 TAPE).
If you lead the UCA200 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.
